confidential and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the
services for Medlink.
In addition,
Medlink may also share aggregate
information about its customers and its web site visitors to advertisers,
business partners, and other third parties. For example, we might share that our

users.

ask you to provide a daytime telephone number. However, the telephone number is
only used to quickly resolve questions relative to an order, such as to clarify
customer email addresses that are inactive, or entered incorrectly.
