Online Information and Collection

You can visit us on the web without revealing any additional information about yourself, including your email address. In this case, our web servers only collect the name of the domain you used to access the Internet, such as "aol.com" or "msn.com," and the website you came from.

We also monitor site performance to make the site easier and more convenient to use. We may aggregate statistics that we gather about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and services, and provide these statistics to third parties. When we provide these statistics to third parties, however, they will not include any personal or medical information that identifies you.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small pieces of data stored by your Internet browser on your computer's hard drive. We, along with thousands of other websites, use cookies to enhance your web viewing experience and to measure your website usage. With the help of cookies, we may present you with customized offerings or content that may be of interest to you. We may also use cookies to recognize you on subsequent visits or to remember your user name so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our site.

You may be able to set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being sent. Please note however, that by not accepting cookies, you may limit the functionality we can provide to you when you visit our site, including access to your secure member portal.

We are not responsible for the information collection practices of other websites when you link to them from our website. We cannot guarantee how those parties use cookies or whether they place on your computer cookies that may identify you personally. You should carefully review the privacy policies of each website you visit to understand how they collect, use and disclose information.

Email and Communication Preferences

Occasionally, we may send you email communications with information that may be useful to you, including information about our medical services, appointment reminders, or health-related educational content. You will be given the option of not receiving marketing email messages, though we may still need to send you important service-related communications about your membership or medical care.

We use military-grade encryption and authentication tools to protect information we gather on our website and during telehealth consultations. All medical consultations are conducted through HIPAA-compliant video platforms with end-to-end encryption.
