5. Privacy. The information SAAAIS receives, and how SAAAIS uses it, depends on what you do when visiting our website. SAAAIS collects and uses your non-personal information (information that is not identifiable to you personally) differently than your personal information.

Non-personal information is information SAAAIS may collect through this website that does not identify you as an individual person. It may include information such as the following:

· the type of web browser you use (for example, Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer)
· the name of the domain from which you access the Internet
· the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our website
· the date and time you access our website
· which pages you have visited on our website
· personal information that has been de-identified

There are several types of information which SAAAIS collects. For all visitors to the Site, SAAAIS collects and logs your IP address. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the internet. IP addresses allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with one another. SAAAIS collects IP address information to properly administer our system and to gather aggregate information on visitors to the Site and how the Site is being used, including the pages visitors are viewing. This aggregate information may be shared with advertisers, sponsors and other businesses. To maintain your anonymity, SAAAIS does not associate IP addresses with records containing personal information. SAAAIS will use IP address information, however, to personally identify you in order to enforce its legal rights or when required to do so by law enforcement authorities.

SAAAIS also places small data files, called “cookies,” in the browser file of your computer's hard drive. These cookies automatically identify your browser to the SAAAIS server whenever you interact with the Site. Most browsers automatically accept these cookies, but you usually can change your browser setting to prevent the acceptance of cookies. If you do decline SAAAIS' cookies, some part of the Site may not work properly for you. In addition, SAAAIS usually collects the domain name of the server from which you are visiting. This can provide SAAAIS with information relating to the sources of the Site's traffic. Collecting this information does not allow SAAAIS to personally identify you.

SAAAIS uses general traffic, site usage, and length of stay information in reports to advertisers and firms with which we have a business relationship. This sort of information is shared only on an aggregated basis and does not personally identify you.

Personal information is information we collect through this website that we can use to specifically identify you, such as your:

· name
· telephone number
· e-mail address
· medical device serial number
· personal health information
· date of birth

SAAAIS will handle any personal health information which you provide to it in accordance with a federal privacy law commonly referred to as “HIPAA” or the “HIPAA Privacy Rules.” For more information on how SAAAIS handle your personal health information, please refer to the Notice of Privacy Practices.
