THE POLICY. This Policy applies only when you are within the Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. environment and only to information that Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. collects.
A medical practice could put a link on its site that takes you to a site or service that is not part of the Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. environment. Once there, you will no longer be interacting with a Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. server, and you should no longer see any Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. trademarks or legends that refer to Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A.. If you leave the Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. environment in this way, you can no longer be assured that the operator of the other site or service will follow the privacy policies and information security practices that are described in the Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. policy. We generally strive to provide buffer pages to inform you when you are leaving our environment, but we cannot monitor all site customizations made by individual medical practices.
Within borders bearing a Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. trademark, a practice might publish online forms that ask you to provide information, which is then sent directly to the practice via e-mail (instead of sending it to a database on a Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. server). The most common example would be a practice conducting an online survey or questionnaire among visitors to its site. Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. has no control over information collected in this manner and we cannot be responsible for the security or privacy of that information.
If you ever have reason to believe that a medical practice has used Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. Web site to obtain information that it has used inappropriately, please contact us at drsam@drlasamfl.com
ACTIVITY TRACKING. We collect and use activity statistics so we can understand the ways in which our sites and services are being utilized. We also provide this data, stripped of all personal identifiers, to the individual medical practices and physicians that publish Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. Web site. Activity related data is stored anonymously and it is only used in the form of aggregated statistics. This aggregated, anonymous data may also be shared with business partners. Activity related data cannot be used to target you with solicitations of any kind.
COLLECTION AND STEWARDSHIP OF OTHER INFORMATION. We only collect information that is required in order to provide you with services. We design our sites so that you must make express, informed choices to use services that ask for personal information and authorize us to have access to your personal information. If you do choose to provide us with personal information, we will hold that information in the strictest confidence taking all reasonable steps to protect your personal health information.
At any time, you can opt out of any service you have been using and revoke your authorization for our access to your information. We monitor and adopt best practices from industry guidelines and applicable statutes, and we follow appropriate information security practices.
THIRD PARTIES. We work with business partners to provide the highest-quality service available. Our business partner contracts include protective language regarding consumer privacy in those cases where we feel the nature of the partner's role demands it. We do not disclose personal information to any third party without clearly noting the purpose of such disclosure at the point where you choose to use the service and obtain your authorization.
PROTECTING CHILDREN. Our site or service are not directed at children, and we make every reasonable effort to ensure that we do not accept personal information from persons under 13 years of age.
LEGAL REQUESTS. Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. cooperates with law enforcement inquiries as a matter of policy. We will use IP addresses and other available information to attempt to identify a user when we are legally compelled to do so or when we feel it is necessary to protect our services, sites, customers, or others.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER. Unfortunately, no data protection method or combination of methods can be guaranteed 100 percent secure. We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information as described throughout this policy, but we cannot ensure or warrant our ability to do so. As a result, you use Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. content, products, and services at your own risk. Dr. L. Araba Sam, M.D., P.A. will not be liable for disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties. |
