WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY
PRACTICE IMPACT
Effective April 24, 2009
1. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS.
Practice Impact (“Practice Impact”) is committed to protecting the privacy of its website visitors. This Privacy Policy sets forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact with our website. By accessing www.practiceimpact.com, you acknowledge and fully understand Practice Impact’s Privacy Policy and freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. OUR USE OF PERSONAL AND NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION.
We collect two kinds of information about our online visitors, personal information and non-personal information. Visitors are not required to register to access the public pages of our website. Non-personal information is collected to track the total number of guests visiting our site and to guide our efforts to improve our site. The non-personal information we monitor includes the browser type and operating system being used by our visitors; areas of the site visited; date and time of access; host or service provider information; and identification of the referring site. This information is used exclusively for our internal purposes and is not disclosed to any non-affiliated third-parties.
Personal information that can identify a visitor, such as a name or address is collected only when voluntarily offered and solely for purposes that are clearly identified on our site. Access to pages with content specific to practices is password-protected and requires pre-registration. Personal information acquired through registration is kept confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties except as may be required by law.
3. OUR USE OF “COOKIES”.
Practice Impact may place an electronic “cookie” in the browser files of a visitor’s computer. Cookies are pieces of information that website transfers to an individual’s computer hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies themselves do not enable us to access any personal information about our visitors; however, they do allow us to analyze visitors’ use of our site. This analysis helps us better understand which areas of our site are most useful and popular so that we can plan improvements and updates accordingly. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from a visitor’s computer that was not originally sent in a cookie.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save your time. For example, if you personalize a web page or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality. Practice Impact reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with affiliated companies but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality of our website.
4. PERSONAL INFORMATION USERS.
Visitors to our website can register to receive information on available practices. When you register, we will request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone number or facsimile number and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a practice, we will request financial information. Any financial information we collect is used only for our representation in the transaction.
5. INTERNET COMMUNICATION.
The privacy of communication over the internet cannot be guaranteed because the internet is not a secure medium. Practice Impact does not assume any responsibility for any harm, loss or damage you may experience or incur by the sending of personal or confidential information over the internet by or to Practice Impact.
6. CONSENT.
By using this website, you signify your consent to Practice Impact’s online Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use this site. We reserve the right at our discretion to update, change, modify, add or remove portions of this Policy from time to time.
