This Privacy Policy describes how Medestiq (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit our website https://medestiq.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
It is Medestiq’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to https://medestiq.com (hereinafter, “us”, “we”, or “https://medestiq.com“). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide to us through the Website. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.
1. Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Medestiq collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Medestiq’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the Website. From time to time, Medestiq may release non-personally-identifying information in aggregate, such as by publishing a report on usage trends of its website.
Medestiq also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on our blog posts. We only disclose logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information as described below.
2. Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Medestiq’s Website choose to interact with Medestiq in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, visitors who sign up for our blog may be asked to provide a username and email address.
3. Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
4. Advertising
We may engage in online advertising to promote our services and reach our target audience. We may use third-party services, including but not limited to Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads, to display advertisements on our Site and other websites.

6. Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Medestiq discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on Medestiq’s behalf or to provide services available on our Website, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of these employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using our Website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Medestiq will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Medestiq discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when Medestiq believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Medestiq, third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of our Website and have supplied your email address, Medestiq may occasionally send you an email to inform you of new features, solicit your feedback, or keep you up-to-date with our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example, via a support email or through one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to assist other users. Medestiq takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
