This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this site. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this site.
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
This site collects information from its visitors by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail. If you submit the information that may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on), this information will be kept confidential and not shared with any entities outside of New Hope Fertility Center. Some areas of this site may ask you to submit personally identifiable information in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as potential newsletter subscriptions). You will be informed what information is required and what information is optional.
PASSIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION
As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Web site you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous information from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this site might not work without cookies.
This site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous information to provide better service to site visitors, customize the site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve the site for your use.
USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Except as otherwise stated, we may use information collected via this site to improve the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and for any other purpose specified. In addition, we may make full use of all information acquired through this site that is not in personally identifiable form.
PUBLIC AREAS
Our site may also have public areas such as message boards. Please remember that any information you share in these areas becomes public, so you should be careful about what you disclose.
SECURITY
This site takes reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information as you transmit it to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites to which this Privacy Policy does not apply. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of every Web site you visit.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
If this Privacy Policy changes, the revised policy will be posted on this site. Please check back periodically, especially before you provide any personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy was last updated in December 2007.
