We give you choices about the information we collect and how we communicate with you.

6. How does Health Plus secure your information on its Sites?

Moreover, we regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.  While we implement these security measures on our Sites, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.
 
We may enable you to navigate to third-party websites through links on our Sites. We do this for your convenience.  If it is not one of our Sites, we don't endorse, may not have any affiliation with, do not control and aren't responsible for those third-party websites and/or their Internet and web practices.  Whether the third-party content appears within our Site environment (like a map frame), or you leave our Site for another website to view it, the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of those other websites govern your online experience.  Please review their terms of service and privacy policies if you have any question about their practices.
 

7. Will this Privacy Policy change?
