PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in U.S. privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our Website Privacy Policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect, or otherwise handle your PII in accordance with our website.
When Do We Collect PII?
We collect information from you when you fill out a form on our website. Information collected in our Patient Portal is under HIPAA law and does not apply to this Privacy Policy.

We may use the information we collect from you when you submit a form, sign up for our newsletter, respond to a marketing communication, surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:
- To improve our website in order to better serve you.
- To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.
- To send periodic emails regarding health information, products and services.
- To follow up with you after correspondence (email or phone inquiries)
Do We Use Cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow), which enable the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your Web browser settings. Since each Web browser is a little different, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
If you turn cookies off, some features will be disabled. However, it will not appreciably affect your user experience.
Third Party Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your PII unless we provide advanced notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when it’s release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Third Party Links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Other Websites and Pages. When you navigate away from the Site to websites or apps controlled by third parties, you leave the Site, at which point this Privacy Policy no longer applies. You will not receive a notice warning when you leave the Site.
- Use and Acceptance. By using this website, you also agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept this Privacy Policy, you must not use this website or the Site.
- Personal Information Defined. We consider “Personal Information” to include information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as name, address, email address, or phone number. We do not consider Personal Information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual.
Changes To Our Privacy Policy and Practices
Posting of Revised Privacy Policy. We will post any adjustments to the Privacy Policy on this web page, and the revised version will be effective when it is posted. If you are concerned about how your information is used, bookmark this page and periodically read this Privacy Policy.
New Uses of Personal Information and Other Information. From time to time, we may desire to use Personal Information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our Privacy Policy. If our practices change regarding Personal Information previously collected in a way that would be materially less restrictive on our use of Personal Information than the version of this Privacy Policy in effect at the time we collected the information, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice and obtain consent to any such uses as may be required by law.
