In some of the WiseHealth Sites we may request that you provide personal information, including your name, organization, address, e-mail address, telephone number, contact information, and any other information from which your identity is discernible.  In other areas, we collect or may collect demographic information that is not unique to you such as your ZIP code, age, preferences, gender, interests and favorites.  Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information.

We also gather certain information about use of the WiseHealth Sites such as what areas you visit and what features you access.  As in most social networking sites that include public communication areas (message boards or forums, for example), we may sometimes provide an opportunity to provide descriptive information about yourself, but it is solely up to you whether you provide such information.  If you do provide such information, you are consenting to the use of that information in accordance with the policies and practices described in this Privacy Statement.
