the users of the Site at several different points on the Site. For

1) Places an
Order
2) Registers on the www.pmtionline.com Site
3) Requests Information
4) Submits an E-mail

Gathering
and Sharing of Information, Links to External and Co-Branded Websites
We use a credit
card processing company to bill purchasers of goods and services
from the Site, and depending upon the goods and services being ordered
and where they are being shipped, we may also use outside suppliers
and/or delivery companies to assist us in fulfilling and delivering
orders. We share with them the information necessary to enable such
card processing,fulfillment, and delivery of goods (i.e.
name, address, and as appropriate, payment information).
We may provide
personal identifying and account information in special cases such
as enforcement of our Terms of Site Use, or as required by law or
legal process to protect and defend the rights and safety of our
Site and its users. This includes exchanging information with other
companies for purposes of fraud and credit risk reduction.
Our Site also
contains links to external Internet sites as well as co-branded
sites, which may be operated by an external party and they may have
privacy practices that differ from those here at www.pmtionline.com.
A co-branded site is a Website, usually operated by a third-party,
and displaying that third-party's name along with the Professional
Medical Technologies, Inc. name and logo. Such co-branded sites
offer Professional Medical Technologies, Inc. approved goods or
services to our users. When you click on links that take you to
such external or co-branded sites, you will be subject to their
privacy policies, and we encourage you to become familiar with that
party's privacy policies as these may differ from those utilized
on our Site. Please note that this privacy statement applies solely
to information collected by Professional Medical Technologies, Inc.
on our Site and, while we strongly support the protection of privacy
on the Internet, we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices
of other Websites, uses of the information collected by other Websites,
or the content of those other Websites.

forth in this Internet Privacy Statement and the Site Terms of Use
INCLUDING ALL LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES PROVISIONS which are an integral
part hereof and the user consents to the collection and use of this
information by Professional Medical Technologies, Inc. as disclosed
in this Internet Privacy Statement. We may revise this Internet
Privacy Statement or the Site Terms of Use at any time by updating
these postings. By using this Site you agree to be bound by any
such revisions in effect at the time of use and should therefore

Security
Information
Our online identity and security measures are verified by GeoTrust, an independant third party.
Strong precautions are taken to protect the information of the users
of our Site. When users submit sensitive information via the Site,
that Information is protected both online and off-line.
We take credit
card information security seriously and use a variety of technical
solutions to make shopping safe at our Site. Furthermore, your information
is encrypted and is protected utilizing the industry standard Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software. While on a secure page,
such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers
such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use
SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
protect user- information off-line. All of the information of our
Site's users, including the sensitive information mentioned above,
is maintained in a restricted section in our offices. Only those
of our employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our account or customer service representatives)
are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore,
our employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
If you have
any questions about the security at our Site, you can send an e-mail
to webmaster@pmtionline.com.

routinely used by most, if not all, E- commerce merchants, including
Professional Medical Technologies, Inc.. A cookie is a piece of
data stored on a user's hard drive through the Web browser program
containing information about the user which enables us to track
and personalize the Site to enhance your experience. For instance,
by setting a cookie on our Site, we can provide you with storage
of items in your shopping cart between visits. However, if a user
rejects the cookie, they may still use our Site although we will
be unable to provide our users with the personalized shopping experience
we can offer using the cookie data. If you have any questions about
our use of cookies, please contact us at webmaster@pmtionline.com.
