Our goal is to provide you with a safe and enjoyable shopping experience. When we collect information about you it is in an effort to create a customized and meaningful experience with the products of most interest to you. You are free to browse the New Gear Medical site without revealing any personal information about yourself. However, some transactions such as making a purchase or registering for a newsletter will require some personal information be provided.
Automatic Information
We may automatically track certain information based upon your behavior on our site. We use this information to analyze our users' behavior, interests, and demographics to better understand and serve our shoppers. This information may include the URLs, pages viewed on the site, which browser you are using and your IP address.
What about Cookies?
Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our website. This type of information is collected to make the site more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your interests and needs.
Third Party Analytics
We may use a third party tracking service such as Google Analytics to track and analyze Anonymous Information from users of our website. Such third parties may use Cookies that help track user behavior. The use of these Cookies by third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy. We do not have access or control over these Cookies. For example, Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the website, rather than your name or personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics may plant a Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the website, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

You provide such information when you make a purchase, enter a contest or sweepstakes, fill out a survey or form, provide ratings or testimonials feedback, give or redeem a gift certificate, etc. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional. You can always choose not to provide information, but you may not be able to use a particular service or feature by omitting the information.

Your consent to such promotional use and disclosure of this information is a condition of your participation.

Does New Gear Medical share the information it receives?
The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed:
Fulfillment
During the purchase process, we will share your information with certain intermediaries (e.g. UPS, APX, USPS, FedEx, Payment Processing Service Provider, Product Manufacturers) strictly to process and ship your order.
Advertisers
We may work with third party advertising companies to serve and track our ads. These third parties may serve other cookies. Our advertising partners use the anonymous, non-personally identifying information they collect from our site, in the aggregate, to help us better market and serve our customers. In the event that our advertisers collect any personal information on our behalf, it will not be used by them or disclosed to any third parties.
Legal Requests
New Gear Medical will cooperate with law enforcement inquiries. We reserve the right to disclose any activities or information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, determine necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements or other activity that is illegal or may expose us or you to legal liability.
Accessing and Updating Your Information
As a customer, subscriber or contest entrant, you will receive e-mail communications about new products offered by New Gear Medical, special offers and requests for feedback. If you want to stop receiving our emails or to specify the communications you prefer to receive, you may unsubscribe at any time by sending us an email info@newgearmedical.com.
You may ask to have your account information removed from our active databases; however, because we keep track of past purchases, you cannot delete information associated with past purchases. Such information will be deactivated as soon as reasonably possible based on your account activity. Also, as a security measure we "back up" the data stored on our systems, and such prior information cannot be completely removed from our databases. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.
Security
You are protected while you shop at newgearmedical.com so that you never have to worry about credit card safety. Our servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with all modern web browsers, so that only our site can read a buyer's personal information.
A special note about children's privacy
You must be at least 18 years old to have our permission to use this site. We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally Identifiable Information about visitors under 18 years of age. If you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with your parents or guardians.
