This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices and procedures of EPI Health LLC (“EPIH”, “we”, “us” or “our”) in connection with our www.epihealth.com website and its subdomains (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by or in connection with the Website. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that EPIH does not administer, or to individuals that EPIH does not employ.

Notice of Information We Collect and How We Use It
Our primary purpose in collecting Personal Information (as defined below) is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience using our Website, and to develop our Website and related products and services to meet your needs. “Personal Information” means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, address, or email address, etc.) or other information about that individual that is directly linked to Personal Information. Personal Information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of our Website or which we aggregate from information you provide to us. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but by doing so, you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features and functionality. We use Personal Information to deliver the Website to you, to improve the delivery of our Website and related products and services, including advertising, and to develop analytics and aggregated data that allow us and our partners to improve our Website, products and services, and correspond with you.
We also collect and store non-personally identifiable information that is automatically generated when you use the Website. We use this information to do internal research on the nature of our users to better understand, protect, and serve you and our clients generally.
In general, our collection and use of information is as follows:
- EPIH collects Personal Information you knowingly choose to submit to us through our Website, such as your name and email address, which we use for the following general purposes: identification and authentication of a user, improvement to the Website and related products and services, contact, research, and reporting of aggregated, anonymous data.
- When you visit our Website, EPIH may automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookies, and the pages you request. IP addresses are automatically reported by your browser each time you view a web page. Your IP address is stored by EPIH when you register with EPIH. IP addresses may be used for various research purposes, and/or delivering unique functionality to our service.
- EPIH may make public forums (Public Areas) available to you on our Website. You participate in any such Public Areas with the acknowledgement that any information you share will be available to other users, including any Personal Information that you share in Public Areas. We may allow users to post content on the Website. If we make such a feature available, you post content at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you choose to share your information. Even after removal, copies of such content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored your content.
Cookies
By using our Website, you indicate your consent for EPIH and our affiliates to send cookies to your computer in order to uniquely identify your browser and improve the quality of our services; you may turn off cookies in your browser though, in doing so, some or all of our Website may not work. A “cookie” is a piece of alphanumeric data stored on a visitor’s hard drive that enables us to improve your access to our Website and identify repeat visitors to our Website. We use the non-personally identifiable information, such as your browser version, IP address, referring domains, pages visited, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, the nature of your use of the Website and cookie information, to improve our Website delivery, including advertising, and to develop analytics and aggregated data that allow us and our partners to utilize our Website and reach out to you via our Website or otherwise. If you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by EPIH, or by any other website, you can do this through your browser settings. The Help function within your browser should tell you how to do so. For information on how to delete cookies on the browser of your mobile phone as applicable you will need to refer to your handset manual.
Log Files
Like many websites, we may automatically gather certain information about our Website traffic and store it in log files. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Website, to track users’ movements around the Website, and to gather demographic information about our user base.
We may link this automatically collected data to Personal Information. IP addresses may be tied to Personal Information to troubleshoot access issues and ban users by IP from certain communities upon appropriate request.
We may use a third-party tracking service that uses log files and cookies, see below, to track non-Personal Information about visitors to the Website in the aggregate. This service captures usage and volume statistics as well as geographical location data to compile usage reports and maps for optimization and troubleshooting purposes.
