Privacy Policy

We provide this notice explaining our online information practices. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our home page and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested. By visiting Spectrum Science Communications, Inc. at www.spectrumscience.com or www.healthvaluestudy.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect & How We Use It
Two types of information are collected: Personal, or "individually identifiable," information you provide to us. Standard Web server/visitor traffic information commonly referred to as "aggregate information," regarding overall Website traffic patterns. We do not report on individual user sessions. Normally, Web servers collect this type of basic information as part of their Web log processes.

Individually Identifiable Information
There are instances when Spectrum Science Communications, Inc. requests individually identifiable information from its users. Individually identifiable user information we may request includes: First and last name, e-mail address, content, and subject of inquiry (i.e. new business or information requests). If you have expressed interest in the Spectrum Health Value StudyTM on our site, we may contact you occasionally with updates about the study. Each message will include a link to opt out of further Health Value Study updates.

Aggregate Information
In addition to information provided by our visitors, we use the normal Internet tracking tools associated with standard Internet protocols and Web based systems. This system information is typically stored in log files and the information is used for aggregate reporting. Aggregate reporting includes: total number of visitors, most visited sections, peak traffic times, etc. Log files are simply transaction records Web servers maintain. Those logs are used for recording information, such as:

  • Service provider IP addresses

  • Browser version

  • Referring Web site

  • Search terms used

  • Average number of pages requested

  • Average duration of visit

  • Total visitor traffic

We use aggregate information gathered from your visit to better design our Web site. This information supplies us with a broad picture of how people use our Web site in order to help the management of our systems and to better serve our audience.
