Privacy Policy

Bellybaloo (www.bellybaloo.com) ("Site") is a sharing website. Bellybaloo is committed to respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect (or that you permit any other social networking sites to provide to us) through the Site and Services. Our goal is to provide a platform for individuals who want to share their ultrasound images with friends, acquaintances, family members, and other individuals.

This Privacy Policy outlines the type of information Bellybaloo collects from individuals who have registered to join Bellybaloo ("Members") and how it is shared with other third parties, including, but not limited to, companies, service providers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, non-profits, and research institutions ("Partners").

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, and without prior notice, by posting an amended Privacy Policy and terms on this website. We encourage Members to review this policy periodically for any updates.

What kind of information we collect:

There are two types of information that we collect: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you. Such information may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, birth date (primarily for eligibility purposes) and billing and credit card information.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Non-personally identifiable information is information, any single item of which, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information (like age, profession, current location, zip code, birth date, year of birth, or gender). Non-personally identifiable information may also include user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, purchasing history and trends, responses to questionnaires, and statistical data involving the use of the Site and Services. This is collected for statistical purposes, for offerings by Bellybaloo and by third parties of additional services and/or products, and for evaluating the Site and Services to make them more efficient and useful.

Marketing and Sales Materials

Bellybaloo offers a free service to members and their contacts and pays for the service by contacting members with sales and marketing messages from Partners. Bellybaloo reserves the right to contact a Member using their email address, mailing address, or telephone number, or directly through their Bellybaloo account, for sales or marketing purposes. Bellybaloo does not share the restricted contact information with outside parties. Individuals who become registered users of Bellybaloo give us permission to send Members marketing materials and our electronic newsletter and so that we may communicate information to members from third parties including information about products and services.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that often includes an anonymous, unique token, which is sent to your browser from a website's computers and may be stored on your computer's hard drive. Two types of cookies are required to use the Site:

  • Session Cookies are temporary cookies that remain only until you log out of the website or exit your web browser. Session Cookies do not store any Personal Information, only a unique visitor ID number that may be used to ensure Members are properly authenticated and can view site information.

  • Persistent Cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer, even after you leave the Site. Persistent Cookies also do not store any Personal Information. Persistent Cookies store preferences that should persist from visit to visit, like "Remember Me," and a unique token to enable us to understand how Members use the Site.

  • By using cookies and action tags together, we are able to gain valuable information to improve the Services and measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns.

  • You should be aware that advertisers and other third parties may also use their own cookies or action tags when you click on their advertisement or link to their websites or services on or from the Services. This Privacy Policy does not govern the use by such third-party websites or services or providers of third-party advertising. If you engage online with third parties and provide them with personal information, they may contact you, share your information, or engage in other actions that are beyond the control of Bellybaloo, and are not governed by this Privacy Policy.

How your data is used:

We may use your information to send you a welcoming email that may confirm your user name and password. If you "opt-in" and create a Bellybaloo account, becoming a Bellybaloo member, we may send you electronic newsletters, contact you about the Services, products, other services from our Partners, information and news that may be of interest to you, and provide you with targeted feedback. If you no longer desire to receive these communications, you must cancel your Bellybaloo account, or contact us at support@bellybaloo.com and we will cancel your account for you. In addition, if you identify yourself to us by sending us an email with questions or comments, we may use your information (including personally identifiable information) to respond to your questions or comments, and we may file your questions or comments for future reference. We may also use the information collected to send you important service announcements and updates regarding the Services or, if applicable, about your billing account status. You will not be able to unsubscribe from these service announcements and updates as they contain important information relevant to your use of the Services.

There are instances where your data may be used and disclosed including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Bellybaloo uses Member's data internally, as needed, for research, for maintenance and operation of the Site, and to create the best possible tools and functionality for patients.

  • Bellybaloo may use a Member's data in the case of an emergency or other circumstance that we determine requires a member of the management team to directly contact the Member.

  • Bellybaloo may share or disclose a Member's data where required by law or to comply with legal process.

  • In the event Bellybaloo goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another organization, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, the Member's Data, including Personal Information, might be among the assets transferred. Members will be notified via this Site of any such change in ownership or control of Personal Information.

  • For sales and marketing purposes as described above.

Security of information:

We want your information (including personally identifiable information) to remain as secure as possible. We strive to provide secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers through industry-standard techniques.

Notwithstanding the above commitments to protect your information (including personally identifiable information) from loss, misuse or alteration by third parties, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet. There is also some risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or privacy of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
