Personal information disclosure occurs only when legally required by law enforcement or governmental authority.

e. TheMednet Forums

User names and IP addresses are recorded for forum account management and abuse prevention. Posts may be collected and republished in edited form. Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information in a forum, through e-mail or elsewhere, that information can be collected and used by others.

Users agree not to post defamatory, obscene, or intellectually infringing content. Users indemnify TheMednet against liabilities from posted content. Forums serve registered subscribers only, not commercial purposes.
