Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement discloses the privacy practices and policies for PCHC.
This Statement of Privacy applies only to the PCHC site and governs data collection and usage
by PCHC. By using the PCHC site, you consent to the data practices and to the collection and
use of your information as described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
PCHC and its third-party vendors collect personally identifiable information, such as your email
address, name, home or work address or telephone number. PCHC also collects anonymous demographic
information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests
and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by
PCHC. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and
referring website addresses. This information is used by DocCom for the operation of the service,
to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the PCHC site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally
sensitive data through PCHC public message boards, this information may be collected and used by
others and is no longer subject to PCHC policies. Note: PCHC does not read any of your private
online communications.
PCHC encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from PCHC
so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use, and share your information.
PCHC is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside
of the PCHC and PCHC family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
PCHC collects and uses your personal information to operate the PCHC Web site and deliver
the services you have requested or subscribed to. PCHC also uses your personally identifiable
information to inform you of other products or services available from PCHC and its affiliates.
PCHC may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current
services or of potential new services that may be offered.
PCHC does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists or your personal information to third
parties. PCHC may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about
a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally
identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the
third party. In addition, PCHC may share data with its third-party vendors to help us perform
statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for
deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except
to provide these services to PCHC, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
PCHC does not use or disclose sensitive personal information about your race, religion, or
political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
PCHC keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within PCHC, in order to determine
what PCHC services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and
advertising within PCHC to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a
particular subject area.
PCHC Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to
do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the
edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on PCHC or the site; (b) protect and defend
the rights or property of PCHC; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users of PCHC, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The PCHC Web site uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a
text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to
run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and
can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The
purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example,
if you personalize PCHC pages, or register with PCHC site or services, a cookie helps PCHC to recall
your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal
information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same PCHC
Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the PCHC
features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies,
but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose
to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the PCHC
services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
PCHC utilizes reasonable measures to secure your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. PCHC takes reasonable measures to secure the personally identifiable
information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected
from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit
card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, PCHC uses encryption technology, such as
the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Retention of Information
Personal data you provide to PCHC will be retained in accordance with PCHC's record retention
schedule, applicable laws, or until such time the service requested is no longer available.
Rights for Individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the People's Republic of China (PRC)
Some countries have adopted laws and regulations that include other requirements that may apply to
your personal information. If you reside in a member state of either the European Union or European
Free Trade Association that is a party to the EEA Agreement (collectively, EU Residents) or if you reside
in the People's Republic of China (excluding the Hong Kong Special Autonomous Region (SAR),
Macao SAR and Taiwan)(“PRC Resident”), you have the right to access personal information PCHC has
collected about you for the purpose of reviewing, modifying, correcting or requesting erasure of
your information. You may also have the right to request a copy of your information. Further,
you may also request that PCHC restrict or stop processing your information. Finally, you may
object to communications, direct marketing, or automated processing of your personal information.
To the extent applicable, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation and PRC's Personal Information
Protection Law provide further information about your rights. You also have the right to lodge
complaints with your national or regional data protection authority.
If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us at the address included under the
“Contact” section, below. To protect the personal information that PCHC holds,
PCHC may also request further information to verify your identity when exercising
these rights. Upon a request to erase information, PCHC will maintain a core set
of personal information to ensure we do not contact you inadvertently in the future,
as well as any information necessary for archival or other legal purposes. We may also
retain financial information for legal purposes, including United States Internal Revenue
Service compliance. Additionally, in the event of an actual or threatened legal claim,
PCHC may retain your information for purposes of establishing, defending against, or
exercising your rights with respect to such claim.
By providing information directly to PCHC, you consent to the transfer of your personal information
outside of the applicable country you reside to the United States. Please note that the current
laws and regulations of the United States may not provide the same level of protection as the
data and privacy laws and regulations of the applicable country you reside.
Children and Minors
PCHC does not knowingly collect personal information from children or minors as defined by
the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) on its general websites. If you are a
US resident under the age of 18, an EU Resident and under the age of 16, or a PRC Resident
under the age of 14, please do not provide any personal information on this website or
through any of its features, unless authorized by parental consent. For more information,
US residents may consult COPPA, and EU Residents may consult the General Data Protection
Regulation, and PRC Residents may consult with the Personal Information Protection Law.
If you believe that PCHC has collected personal information about a child or minor, please contact
us immediately, at the address included under the “Contact Information” section below, so that
PCHC can take appropriate action.

Privacy Statement. PCHC encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed
