Information We Collect
The Company understands the importance of maintaining the privacy of your personal and non-personal information. While you may use some of the functionality of the Website without registering, many of the specific tools and services on the Website require registration. If you visit the Website without registering, the only information we collect will be Non-Personal Information through the use of Cookies (see more about Cookies below). We define Non-Personal Information as information that is not traceable back to any individual and cannot be used to identify an individual.
If you choose to register on the Website for certain interactive services, we require you to submit Personal Information. We define Personal Information as information that, when linked, can be traced back to an individual. Examples include your name, age, telephone number, email address, and other information offered by you, including your text, audio or video question; the Internet Protocol (IP) Address and domain name used from which you accessed our Portal (the IP Address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your Internet service provider or directly to your computer); the type of browser and operating system used by you to access our site; date and time you visited our site; web pages or services you accessed at this site; web site you visited prior to coming to this web site; web site you visit as you leave this web site; and if you downloaded a form, the form that was downloaded. We may also ask you to provide additional information after you register if you want to obtain additional services or information or to resolve complaints or concerns.
Information We Do Not Collect
We do not access or store information that you have saved on your mobile device such as contacts and appointments. However, in order to provide our services, the Website may interact with some features on your mobile device, such as your GPS locater.
Security of Your Personal Information
The security for all personal information associated with you is of utmost importance to the Company. We employ reasonable security measures consistent with standard industry practice to protect your Personal Information. Personal information collected by the Website is stored in a secure environment. We strive to provide adequate security measures in our physical facilities to protect against the loss and misuse of the information we collect on the Website. Below are some of the physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that the Company uses to protect your privacy.
Confidentiality: We restrict access to Personal Information collected about you on the Website to select employees, licensees, consultants or others who need to know that information to provide services to you or in the course of conducting our normal business operations. We also advise them about their responsibility to protect Customer data and we provide them with appropriate guidelines for adhering to our company's business ethics standards and confidentiality policies. If you are a former customer, we protect your information in the same manner that we treat information about our current customers.
Password: To provide you with an increased level of security, we utilize password security measures. Online access to your personal information is protected with a password you select. We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication (including unsolicited correspondence such as letters, phone calls, or email messages).
Encryption: When you interact on the Website, your personal information is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your personal information before transmitting it to our secure server. Encryption is the translation of data into a secret code. Once the data resides on the our servers, the data remains encrypted. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our web site from capturing and viewing your personal information.
Firewall: We use firewalls to protect information held in our servers. A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to a public or private network. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private portions of public networks. All messages entering or leaving the network pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.
Disclaimer: Despite our efforts to protect your Personal Information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet may be intercepted. Therefore, we make no representations or warranties with regard to the sufficiency of the above mentioned security measures. No data transmission over the Internet or through mobile devices can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us on the Website. Therefore, the Company is not responsible for any actual or consequential damages that result from a lapse in compliance with this Privacy Policy as a result of a security breach or technical malfunction.

We use this data to help us maintain accurate records and to improve the products and services that we deliver to you.

For example, if you check a box to ask that we remember your login information on your computer so that you don't have to enter it each time you visit the site, it's stored in a Cookie on your computer.
Finally, advertising companies may use their own cookies or other online tracking technologies in the banner advertisements served on the Website and in emails, special promotions or newsletters we send you. These advertising companies may use cookies or similar technologies to provide you advertisements tailored to interests you have shown by browsing on this and other sites you have visited. In doing so, the provider collects Non-Personal Information such as your browser type, your operating system, web pages visited, time of visits, content viewed, ads viewed, and other data. The advertiser’s use of cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect Non-Personal Information is not controlled by the Website and is subject to the privacy policies specific to each site visited.

Disclosure of Your Information
Because your privacy is important, we do not sell, share, lease, or license your personal information. However, we may disclose information about you if you specifically authorize us to do so or in such cases described below.
Legal Requirement: We may disclose information about you if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal proceedings. However, before making any such disclosures, we will make an effort to inform you unless doing so would violate the law or court order.
We may also disclose information about you to law enforcement officers or others, in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, as applicable; in responding to claims that any posting or other content violates the rights of third parties; or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the Company’s staff, its users, or the general public.
Sale of Assets: If the Company is sold to, or merges with, another company, we reserve the right to include your Personal Information among the assets transferred to the acquiring company. If so, the Company will seek to obligate the acquiring company to use any Personal Information transferred by this site in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, but cannot guarantee that it will be able to impose that requirement or that the acquiring company will comply.
Employees and Technical Operations Contractors:
Select Company employees and technical operations contractors may have limited access to your Personal Information in the course of providing services to you, to troubleshoot problems or resolve complaints. These contractors include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services, and/or content for the operation and maintenance of the Website. Access to your Personal Information is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the employee or contractor to perform the function needed to resolve the issue or to improve the service.
Disclosure of Aggregate Information: The Company may combine any public and Non-Personal Information you provide with information from other users to create aggregate data to display on the Website. This sort of statistical information is called aggregate data because it reflects the characteristics of a large group of anonymous people. Aggregate data does not contain any information that could be used to identify you or contact you. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of users of the Website and the activities they conduct while on our site. We may use aggregate data or share it with our business partners so that the information and services we provide best meet the needs of our users. Aggregate data also helps advertisers and sponsors know how effectively they are reaching and meeting the needs of their target audience.

The Company may use the e-mail and text addresses you provide when you register to send appointment confirmations and reminders. You cannot opt out from receiving these email and text messages as it would affect the functioning of the service you are registering to use.
