Privacy Statement

Thank you for visiting the CareNow Foundation, Inc. Web site. CareNow has designed its Privacy Policy to inform you about our current data collection and how we use your personal information. From time to time, CareNow may, without notice, modify or eliminate all or a portion of this Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy is available on the home page of the CareNow Web site. From time to time, you may click to other CareNow Web sites or pages that have different privacy policies. When this happens, you may review the privacy policies that relate to those pages or sites.

We obtain personal information that is needed to provide you with our goods and services.

When CareNow collects information directly from you, we obtain this personal information in order to provide you with our goods or services, to provide customer service and to fulfill any legal or regulatory requirements. We also obtain personal information as a result of consumers' financial transactions with CareNow or with CareNow merchants. When we obtain information about consumers and merchants from third parties, we use sources that we believe are reputable, including public repositories.

The only personal information we collect is information you provide us.

The only information we collect about you is information that you provide us. This information may include, for example, your name, mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number. If you supply us with personal data and request information from us, we will contact you to provide you with the information you requested. We may also contact you to follow up on your job opportunity inquiries, or we may send you other information about CareNow and its products or services that we believe you would find interesting or helpful.

We are committed to protecting the confidentiality of your personal information.

CareNow's policies limit access to the personal information we collect to those CareNow employees and CareNow business relationships who need the information to fulfill their business responsibilities. We require our employees to adhere to CareNow's Privacy Policy. Employees who violate the CareNow Privacy Policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

When CareNow collects personal information about you, we handle this information in accordance with the terms and conditions in our applicable merchant agreement. When CareNow engages vendors and other outside contractors, they are subject to our contractual requirements. For purposes of credit reporting, verification and risk management, we may share information about you with third parties. We also will disclose information in response to a request issued by a court, government agency or regulatory authority.

We will inform you about the general uses of the information we collect about you.

When we have a direct customer relationship with you, we will strive to make information available to you about the general uses of the information we collect. This information is made available at the point of sale, through privacy notices on our Web sites, in other formats that are publicly available or through other means specified by applicable state and federal laws. In addition, when CareNow obtains personal information about consumers indirectly through our merchants, we require our merchants to provide these consumers with their own timely and complete privacy notice.

We strive to give you choices about how your information will be used.

When we obtain personal information as part of our direct relationship with you, we will not share this information with nonaffiliated third parties, except in the following circumstances:

· In accordance with the CareNow Privacy Policy
· To facilitate and complete merchant-initiated or authorized transactions
· To comply with federal, state and local laws, including credit reporting laws and card association rules
· To combat fraud
· To offer products and services that CareNow believes may be of interest to you.

Since your needs may change, and CareNow continuously develops new products and services, we may contact you to determine if we can provide you with additional services. Most of our customers appreciate hearing about our new products and services and prefer that we continue to contact them. If you would prefer not to be contacted we will make information available to you about how you may request to have your name removed from any CareNow owned marketing lists. You may also opt out of information sharing by providing CareNow the email address you wish to opt-out. Click here to process your request.

We maintain procedures to assure the quality of information we collect and, in some instances, we inform you how you can access your information and make corrections, if necessary.
