PRIVACY POLICY
Web Site Privacy Policy – Effective Date: April 14, 2010
Our Commitment to Privacy: Noe Valley Pediatrics is committed to maintaining the privacy of those who use our Web site. This Web Site Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our Web site.
Information We Collect: When you visit our Web site, you may provide us with two types of information: 1) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose and 2) Web site use information.
How We Use Information: Noe Valley Pediatrics uses the personal information that you submit to us via our Web site to administer our business activities and to respond to your inquiries. We will not sell, lease, rent, or license your personal information to a third party, unless you authorize us to do so. We may provide your personal information to entities involved in providing health care to you, such as, for example, your health plan and/or medical group. In such cases, Noe Valley Pediatrics will disclose personal information in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Personal information is any information you’ve provided us through our Web site that uniquely identifies you, such as name, social security number, health plan ID number, medical record number, date of birth, telephone number, address, or email address, to name a few.
Web site use information is information that is gathered automatically by Noe Valley Pediatrics to track Web site activity, including the number of users and the pages visited. Web site use information includes, but is not limited to, internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, and date/time stamp. Web site use information does not identify individual users.
To access the secure services on our Web site, “cookies” must be enabled. Cookies are pieces of information stored on a user’s computer which allow us to recognize repeat users, track usage patterns and better serve you when you return to our site.
Our Commitment to Security: The security of your personal information is important to Noe Valley Pediatrics. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and ensure the correct use of information, Noe Valley Pediatrics has adopted stringent security standards. These standards include physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect and secure the information that we collect from you. While we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We, therefore, cannot guarantee absolute security. If you wish, you may contact us, instead, via telephone at (415) 641-1019.
Health Information on Our Web Site: The health information provided on this Web site is intended to provide general information only. This information is not intended to substitute for the exercise of a physician’s professional judgment, or the consultation with an expert physician.
Links to Other Web Sites: This Web site contains links to other Web sites that are not owned or controlled by Noe Valley Pediatrics. Please be aware that Noe Valley Pediatrics is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or accuracy of such other Web sites.
Noe Valley Pediatrics encourages you to be aware when you leave our Web site and to read the privacy policies of every Web site that collects your personal information.
Changes to Our Web Site Privacy Policy: Noe Valley Pediatrics reserves the right to change this Web Site Privacy Policy at any time without advance notice to our users.
