Information Epione Health gathers
Epione Health collects and uses certain information on its website. This information includes your internet protocol address, information about your browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.), and information about your Internet Service Provider (e.g., AOL, PacBell, etc.). An IP address is a unique number that is used to represent every single computer in a network. All computers on the Internet have a unique IP address. None of the foregoing information will be used by Epione Health in any way, or in connection with any other information, to identify you personally.
Epione Health may collect information about you through various online forms that you may voluntarily complete. Completion of these forms is entirely optional. If you supply any personally identifiable information to us on these forms (e.g., name/address/email address), Epione Health will not use this information to contact you unless you have specifically stated that we may do so.
​
How the information is used
Epione Health uses the statistical information gathered about you and all of its users for internal statistical purposes only, e.g., to track where users go on our website.

Submission by you of any personally identifiable health information is completely voluntary.
