What is Personal Information?
Personal information is any information about an identifiable person. What Personal Information does MDX/Medirex collect and how does MDX/Medirex use this Personal information? MDX/Medirex collects your personal information on the site from you, to be used for the purposes identified to you at the time of collection (the “Identified Purposes”). For example, MDX/Medirex may collect your first and last name, email address and subject of inquiry (e.g. information requests), for the purpose of responding to your specific requests for information. To whom does MDX/Medirex disclose Personal Information? MDX/Medirex will not disclose such information to other persons, other than as follows:
- to the extent required for the Identified Purposes, as described to you at the time of collection.
- to other third parties, such as sponsors, suppliers and website content partners, but only where and to the extent you give us your permission to do so, and only after they have signed a Third Party Confidentiality Agreement with MDX/Medirex.
What is Aggregate Information?
“Aggregate information” is 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. Web servers normally collect this type of basic information as part of their web log processes. This aggregate information does not identify you and thus does not constitute personal information.
Log information
When you use MDX/Medirex services, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. Log files are simply transaction records web servers maintain. Those logs are used for recording information, such as: your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser versions/language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. 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. - service provider IP addresses; browser versions; referring websites; 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 website. This information supplies us with a broad picture of how people use our website in order to help the management of our systems and to better serve our audience.
Use of Information Collected
MDX/Medirex uses the information collected from registered visitors to address the specific needs of the visitor and to provide better customer service. For example, information about the number of visitors from each province, state or territory will assist MDX/Medirex in determining what type of information to provide on the Web Site. The information is also used to provide records of communication between MDX/Medirex and its online registered users and to comply with any legal and/or regulatory requirements. MDX/Medirex DOES NOT SELL, RENT OR RELEASE PERSONAL INFORMATION GATHERED ON OUR SITE TO OTHER COMPANIES, INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS. Although we use all reasonable means to ensure that the information you provide to us is not used by third parties for any purpose, MDX/Medirex is not responsible for any improper use of your personal information that is beyond our control.
Access to Information Collected
Certain MDX/Medirex employees may be provided with information about a Web Site visitor in order to serve that visitor's needs. MDX/Medirex employees are instructed to use strict standards of care in handling the personal, confidential information and the handling of such information is dealt with in MDX/Medirex’s Code of Conduct. Non-compliance with MDX/Medirex 's confidentiality rules will result in disciplinary sanctions that may include dismissal.
Changing Personal Information
If a registered user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your phone number or postal code), or if a user no longer wishes to be registered, we will correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us, as requested. This can be done by emailing techsupport@medirexsys.com

How do we use cookies?
A cookie is a small text file sent from a Web server and placed on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie is generally used to enhance your browsing experience. You can choose to set your browser to detect and reject cookies, to accept cookies from all sites, or to prompt you whenever a site wants to send you a cookie. Check your browser’s “Help” files to learn how to do this. If you choose to refuse cookies, you may not be able to access some of the interactive features on our Web sites. Cookies used by MDX/Medirex, do not give us access to anything on your hard drive and cannot do anything to your computer. Cookies used by MDX/Medirex are encrypted for security purposes to make any information in the cookie unreadable to anyone outside of MDX/Medirex. MDX/Medirex uses two types of cookies: session cookies (temporary) or persistent cookies (longer–term continuing use).
- Session cookies may be used to support on–line feedback/discussion, forms and registration and ‘e– commerce/shopping cart’ transactions. They are used only during your online session and expire when you close your browser. Without session cookies, moving around the Site could be much slower.
- Persistent cookies are different from session cookies because they are stored on your computer’s hard drive for some length of time. They are usually used if you want us to remember information about your Web preferences and passwords for automatic log–in purposes.
