Privacy Policy

MedicBatteries.com seeks to deliver Remarkable Customer Experiences. To create Remarkable Customer Experiences, we collect and analyze various data in order to help us better serve you, from creating new educational resources to answering common questions to providing easy to use tools and content relevant to your needs and interests. We also appreciate that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we wish to be good stewards of the data we collect. Thank you for giving us the honor of serving you. We appreciate your trust that we will safeguard any information we collect and use it sensibly and with care. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting MedicBatteries.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.


Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on MedicBatteries.com or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you. We will never sell, lease, rent, or give away your information to other businesses or companies.


Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information only when your web browser accesses MedicBatteries.com or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of MedicBatteries.com.


E-mail Communications: To help us limit the number of unwanted or irrelevant emails we might send, we often receive data related to e-mails you may open, if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to certain interactions conducted on MedicBatteries.com, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please call or email us to let us know. You may also opt out of our mailing lists at any time, if you wish to no longer receive most e-mails we might send in the future. We do send an automated series of transactional e-mails which cannot be opted out of, such as: order confirmations, shipping/tracking updates, and between 1 and 3 post-purchase follow up emails used to ensure your satisfaction with our products, services, and those of any 3rd party providers (such as FedEx) we may contract with. The purpose of these emails is to help us learn to better serve you and other customers in the future.   


Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. 

What About Cookies? Cookies are unique identifiers that we transfer to your device to enable our systems to recognize your device and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits and repeat visits to MedicBatteries.com. The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of MedicBatteries.com's essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add and save items to your Shopping Cart, complete Checkout, or engage with any personalized recommendations.
Does MedicBatteries.com Share the Information It Receives?We do not sell, rent, lease, or share information we receive from customers. This information is crucial to our business and we acutely understand the responsibility of protecting any information you give us. We share customer information only with our other business units as described below, each of which follows the same practices as those described in this Privacy Notice.

Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control Third-Party Service Providers: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include website hosting, tools and services to secure transactions and monitor the PCI compliance of MedicBatteries.com, web and integration programming, fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), and processing credit card payments. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

By Phone, Email, or Other at Request: If you, someone acting on your behalf, or anyone else requests information about you (under conditions not covered within this Privacy Notice) or your business relationship with us, we will not disclose specific or personally identifiable information without making a fair effort to determine your identity and/or consent. For example, if your accounting department requests a copy of your invoice, we will ask a series of questions to determine the legitimacy of the request, including asking them to provide information such as order or invoice number, billing address, and other information you have given us in the past. If they cannot answer the questions, we will not disclose any information to the person.

How Secure Is Information About Me? The security of your information is protected during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We use multiple third party vendors to audit and assess our on-going security as a measure of pro-actively protecting any personal information you may transmit to us.We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order, and we do not retain your credit card numbers after collecting payments you have authorized. We do transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.We do rely on you to protect yourself and your account against unauthorized access.
