Privacy & Security Policies
Effective Date: This policy was last updated on 5/18/2021.
Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals strives to maintain high standards for the protection of privacy over the Internet. The purpose of this statement is to explain to our visitors the type of information Hi-Tech obtains about visitors to our websites, how we gather it, how we use it, how long we retain it, and how visitors can restrict the use or disclosure of personally identifiable information.
Information we collect
The personal information Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals obtains about individual visitors to our websites is information the visitor supplies voluntarily. This means that you can visit our websites without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. To gauge the effectiveness of our websites, we do, through our Internet Service Provider, collect some generic information about our visitors.
The company which hosts our Web site has servers that automatically recognize a visitor's domain name (such as .com, .edu, etc.), the point of entry from which a visitor enters our site including web pages, which pages a visitor visits on our site, and how much time a visitor spends on each page. This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information about the visitor. We or our contractors use web "cookies" to track use of our site and to track what sites users came from, but do not collect personally identifiable information via these web”cookies.” We aggregate this information and use it to evaluate and improve our websites. We do not track user activity on sites outside of Hi-Tech’s Web site.
Hi-Tech’s Web site also uses what are known as session "cookies." A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We do not use persistent “cookies” on our site but do use session cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. Web sites typically use session “cookies” to ensure that the customer’s information is recognized when you move from page to page within one site and that any information you have entered is remembered. On Hi-Tech’s site, if session “cookies” were not used then items placed in a shopping basket would disappear by the time you reach the checkout.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as to make purchases, may be limited We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

In some situations, such as when you order a product or service online Hi-Tech will collect billing information, such as your credit card number and billing address, and we may share this information with our third parties contractors (such as the company that processes your credit card, solely for the purpose of processing the transaction you have requested).

We mask sensitive data, such as credit card data, on any internal reports we produce related to which products customers are buying and conduct a weekly purge of data files to ensure data is not kept longer than necessary to full a customer’s order.
When visitors use our websites to order products or services, or to request information about them, we may use the individual information as we would use the same information obtained offline - for example, to evaluate your service needs.
