HMDiabetes.com Privacy Policy
Liberty Medical Supply, Inc. , its affiliates and subsidiaries ("we" or "Liberty Medical Supply") are committed to protecting your privacy. Therefore, Liberty Medical Supply has developed policies and procedures to ensure that the information you provide to us through HMDiabetes.com, is collected and maintained in a manner that respects your privacy. This Privacy Statement explains these important policies and procedures so that you will be aware of how we collect and use the information you provide us, and how you may modify and/or delete this information.
Registration, whether directly through this site online or through a customer service representative with your approval, collects both personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information to improve the usefulness of the online information and services we offer to our users.
Personally identifiable information is any data element or collection of data elements that directly identifies an individual or that individual's residence, including your name, postal and e-mail addresses, date of birth, credit card information, bank account number and routing number, prescription number or telephone number.
Non-personally identifiable information is any data element or collection of data elements that, by itself, cannot be associated with a specific individual.
There are two types of non-personally identifiable information collected on this site. The first type includes information provided during registration through this site online such as the state in which you live and your gender.
The second type of non-personally identifiable information which is routinely gathered from all site visitors focuses on website activity, such as how many people visit the site, the pages they visit, what website they are coming from, how long they stay, the internet provider (IP) address, etc. This site visitor data is collected on an aggregated, anonymous basis, which means personally identifiable information is not associated with this data. This type of non-personally identifiable information is generally gathered through the use of web server logs, third-party ad servers, cookie technology, and clear GIFs.
In addition, in some cases we may link this sort of non-personally identifiable information with the personally identifiable information we have about people who use our website or services. For example, we may use this information to follow up with you.
Because your privacy is important to us, Liberty Medical Supply does not track or collect personally-identifiable information unless it is purposefully and knowingly provided to us. In other words, we do not collect your information without your knowledge.
Should you request that we contact you to provide additional information about our products and services, and you have provided us with personally-identifiable information so that we may do so, we will not use or disclose this information outside of Liberty Medical Supply without your consent, unless required by law.
To summarize, it is our policy: (1) not to collect your personally-identifiable information without your knowledge and consent; (2) to protect the privacy of any personally-identifiable information you choose to provide to us; (3) to notify you of our policies and procedures regarding your personally-identifiable information; and (4) to abide by the terms of this Privacy Statement. We are dedicated to fulfilling this policy. In addition, you have a right to request and receive a paper copy of this Privacy Notice.
If you believe that your privacy rights have been violated, you have a right to complain to us and may contact our Privacy Officer at the email address or phone number provided below. No adverse action or retaliation will be taken against you for filing a complaint.
Any revised Privacy notice will be posted on this web site.
For further information about our privacy policies and practices, or to exercise any of your rights as described above, please contact Privacy Officer, 8881 Liberty Lane, Port St Lucie FL 34952, email corp [at] HMDiabetes [dot] com, or call our toll free number 1 (888) 356-7343 and ask to speak with the Privacy Officer.

We do collect anonymous, non-personally-identifiable information about your use of our site. See above. We also may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness.

Personally identifiable information: Personally identifiable information is any data element or collection of data elements that directly identifies an individual or that individual's residence, including name, postal and e-mail addresses, date of birth, credit card information, member number, relationship to the plan member, secret question and secret answer, telephone number, or prescription number.
Non-personally identifiable information: Non-personally identifiable information is any data element or collection of data elements that, by itself, cannot be associated with a specific individual. Some non-personally identifiable information is volunteered during registration: for example, the state in which you live and your gender. Other non-personally identifiable information, specifically site visitor data such as your internet provider (IP) address, date of visit, length of visit, what pages you visit on our websites, etc. is collected through the use of web server logs and cookie technology.
Web server logs: A web server log is a file where website activity is stored, such as your internet provider (IP) address, date of visit, length of visit, what pages you visit on our websites, etc.
Clear GIFS: We may use "clear GIFs" (aka "Web beacons" or "pixel tags") or similar technologies, in our communications with you to enable us to determine the number of e-mails viewed. A clear GIF is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a Web page or in an e-mail or other type of message, which is retrieved from a remote site on the Internet enabling the verification of the total number of e-mails viewed. The information collected by Liberty Medical Supply through clear GIFs is non-personally identifiable (meaning this information generally does not include your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number or other personally identifiable data).
Third-Party Ad Servers: We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on a variety of different websites that are intended to attract visitors to our site. These companies may employ cookies, clear GIFs and other technologies to track information (generally not including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number or other personally identifiable data) about your visits to other sites involved in Liberty Medical Supply's advertising campaigns in order to help measure and improve the effectiveness of Liberty Medical Supply's ads. This information may be shared with Liberty Medical Supply, your health plan and others performing services on behalf of Liberty Medical Supply.
If you would like more information about how third party ad servers work and to understand your choices about not having this information used by these companies, see the Network Advertising Initiative's consumer Web site at http://www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/.
Cookie technology: Cookie technology enables websites to store small bits of information on your computer, and then ask for that information back at a later time. A cookie is a text file that is sent to the hard drive where your browser files are kept. Visitors concerned about the use of cookie technology may opt to enable a feature in their browser software that will erase cookies, block all cookies or warn the user before cookies are stored or exchanged.
If users reject a cookie, they may still use this site. If they do so, their online session will remain secured all the time.
How we use cookies: Liberty Medical Supply uses cookies to accurately track the number of website users. Cookies also may be used for limited applications, which help to deliver selected information to the appropriate audiences. The information linked to the cookies is not used by Liberty Medical Supply to create profiles that track the viewing preferences of our users.
What we store in cookies: Liberty Medical Supply stores a unique identifier in the cookie to properly distinguish a user's workstation.
Benefits of using cookies: Cookies allow a web application to respond to you as an individual. We use cookies to serve a version of the homepage based on your activity from previous sessions as a registered logged in member.
