2. What are cookies and how
are they used?
MediNet may place Internet cookies on your hard
drive. Cookies are small files that may be downloaded
to your hard disk for record-keeping purposes.
Among other things, cookies are used to: (i) remind
us of who you are in order to deliver better service;
(ii) estimate our audience size by determining
repeat usage of our Web site to help target advertisements
based on user interests and behavior; (iii) track
your progress and entries in promotions, sweepstakes
and contests, if any; and (iv) measure certain
traffic patterns for use as a research tool to
understand how our users' habits are similar or
different from one another. You can set your browser
to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving
you the chance to decide whether or not to accept
it. By not accepting cookies, some Web pages may
not display properly or you may not be permitted
to access certain information.
MediNet also collects IP addresses (the Internet
address of a computer) to track a user's session
while the user remains anonymous. We analyze this
data for certain trends in statistics, such as
which parts of our Web site users are visiting
and how long they spend there. In general, we
do not link your IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable to you. In those limited cases where
session information is not anonymous, MediNet
will provide you with notice of such practice
and the opportunity to choose not to allow us
to track your session.

relationship with MediNet. Unless you have chosen
to "opt-out" by notifying MediNet at
Update@MediNet.com [hyperlink], MediNet may sell,
rent, or lease your personally identifiable information
to, or share your personally identifiable information
with, third parties. Your personally identifiable
information may be shared with our agents, contractors
or business partners in order that they may perform

not you have chosen to "opt-out" as
set forth above.
We want to help you quickly find information

You may choose not to receive such mailings or
telephone calls by the means provided for in the
mailings or by contacting us at Info@MediNetSystems.com.
MediNet does research on our users' demographics,
interests and behavior based on the information
provided to us during your use of our Web site.
This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated
basis. Aggregated data does not include personally
identifiable information. MediNet may share this
aggregated data with others.
We will release your personally identifiable
information when we believe that such release
is appropriate to (i) comply with the law; (ii)
enforce or apply our Terms
of Access and other agreements; or (iii) protect
the rights, property or safety of MediNet, our
users or others. This includes, but is not limited
to, exchanging information with other companies

5. What else should I know
about my privacy?
Third party Internet sites and services accessible
through MediNet have separate privacy and data
collection practices, independent of us. MediNet
has no responsibility or liability for these independent
policies or actions. Please be careful and responsible
online. If you post personal information online
that is accessible to the public, you may receive
unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
While we strive to protect your information, MediNet
does not ensure or warrant the security of any

and you transmit information to MediNet at your

6. What about my children
and their use of your Web site?
Children should always ask a parent for permission
before sending personal information to anyone
online. MediNet encourages parents to take an
active role in their children's use of the Internet
and to spend time online with their children.
MediNet will use its best efforts not to collect
personal information for those identifying themselves
as age 17 or under.
