This statement describes how information is shared and collected on our website and through service transactions. Please review it carefully.

​

Your Information

Information shared on our website is encrypted (encoded) and protected using Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”). We follow commercially acceptable industry practices to protect any information that is shared with us online. However, no method of transmission is guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you feel your information has been compromised, please notify us using our contact us page.

​

Emails and SMS Text Messaging

In addition to communicating directly with you, we may use a third-party vendor to help us manage some of our electronic communications with you, including email and text messages. While we do supply these vendors with email addresses or mobile telephone numbers of those we wish them to contact, your email address or mobile telephone number is never used for any purpose other than to communicate with you on our behalf. When you click on a link in an email, you may temporarily be redirected through one of the vendor’s servers (although this process will be invisible to you) which will register that you’ve clicked on that link and have visited our website. We will never share any information, other than your email address or telephone number, with our third-party vendors. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. We may share your Personal Data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

 

Even if you have given us permission to send emails or text messages to you, you may revoke that permission at any time by following the “unsubscribe” information at the bottom of the email or by replying “Stop” to any text message you receive from us.

We sometimes partner with a third-party ad network to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies, and other tracking technologies to collect information about your activities on this and other websites so that we can provide you with advertising on other websites. The information collected or used does not contain personal information about your health history. It is simply a mechanism that allows us to identify your interests in our services. You can set preferences for how your Internet browser advertises to you using their Privacy and Security settings. If you provided us with your email address on this site or in any of your service transactions with an affiliated practice, we may use it to send you information about our services. We will never sell or rent your email address. Even if you have given us your email address, you may revoke that permission at any time by following the "unsubscribe" information at the bottom of the email.

​

Any data collected, such as IP addresses, cookie identifiers or email address, will be used in accordance with our privacy policy and the search engine’s privacy policy.
