Introduction
NextMed, LLC and its affiliates (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit nextmed.net (the “Website”), and use any functionality, features or services offered on or through our Website and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
Your Choice
By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please discontinue your use of the Websites.
Children Under the Age of 13
We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 years of age via the Website without express parental consent. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we may have collected such information, please contact us as described below
Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It
Types of Information. The Website may collect several types of information from and about our users of our Website, including:
· Limited demographic information, such as your age, weight, height and sex (“demographic information”);
· Any contact information you choose to provide us, as described on the form used to input that information (“contact information”);
· Any information you provide regarding your stone, such as stone size, location, or side (“stone information”); and
· Information that describes your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and details about your usage of our Website (“device information”).
These categories do not include “aggregate information”, which is data we may collect about the use of the Website or about a group or category of users which do not, or which have been modified so that they do not, identify any particular user. This Privacy Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate information. We collect demographic and contact information directly from you when you provide it to us. We collect device information automatically as you navigate through the site. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technologies. We may also collect information about you from third parties, including but not limited to, our business partners.
Automatic Data Collection Technologies. The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include:

We use your device information to deliver a better and more personalized website and services, including by enabling us to estimate our audience size and usage patterns; store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Website according to your individual interests; speed up your searches; or recognize you when you return to our Website. Some of that information is derived from third-party analytics providers that may track your behavior across time and across multiple websites, depending on whether you have opted out of such tracking.

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:
Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.
