Personal Information

You do not have to disclose any information to visit our site. However, while browsing some sites, you may find your needs can be better assessed by disclosing some information. The information you provide will not be sold, traded, or leased to any other organization outside of our organization.

We may use demographic information that does not personally identify you and/or information you voluntarily provide to improve the features of the site or for general statistical purposes.

Please be aware that in certain circumstances, personal information may be subject to disclosure to government agencies pursuant to judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process. We may also share your personal information to protect the rights or property of our organization and our clients, patients, business partners, vendors, or employees when we have reasonable grounds to believe that such rights or property have been or could be affected.

Information Automatically Collected and Stored

As with any site you visit on the internet, we do collect certain system information from our users. Our website automatically stores the following information during your visit:

  • Internet location (IP address)
  • Pages visited
  • Date and time of visit
  • Device used to access our site (i.e., mobile, desktop, tablet)
  • Traffic to and from our site
  • Referral URLs (i.e., Google search, publication/news article, or partner site)

IP Addresses

As stated above, we collect your computer’s IP address during your visit. An IP address is the number automatically assigned to your computer that allows computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. We use IP addresses to determine the geographic characteristics of our users and to allow internal users to view internal pages. Analyzing geographical information allows us to make our site more accessible to users.

Cookies

Cookies are text files that a website transfers to a user’s hard disk to record certain information about your visit. Our site places cookies in the browser files of your computer to provide you with tailored information. You can choose not to download cookies, to disable cookies, or to delete cookies.

Cookies are required to log in to the website and access personalized information stored on your behalf.

Web Analytics

This website uses Vercel Web Analytics.

Vercel analytics only stores anonymized data and does not use cookies. The information collected is only shared with us.

The information tracked by Vercel on our behalf is a count of distinct visitors on a daily basis, what pages they viewed, whether they remained on the site or left quickly after coming to the site, what sites referred visitors to our site, visitor country of origin, and the device, browser, and operating system of the visitors.

Retention Period

We will not retain personal information longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is processed, including complying with legal and regulatory obligations (i.e., audit, accounting, statutory retention terms), disputes, and for the establishment, excise, and/or defense of legal claims.

Because the circumstances may vary depending on the context and the services, the information provided in our Online Privacy Statement or provided in a specific notice may provide detailed information on applicable retention terms.

Security

We use a variety of information security measures to protect your online transactions with us. Our site uses encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your personal information during data transport. SSL protects information you submit via our website (including your name, contact information, and email). We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide. You should understand, however, that electronic transmissions via the internet are not necessarily secure from interception, so we cannot absolutely guarantee the security or confidentiality of such transmissions.

European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Purposes of processing and legal basis for processing: As explained above, we process personal data in various ways depending on your use of services. We process personal data on the following legal bases: (1) with your consent; (2) as necessary to provide services; and (3) as necessary for our legitimate interests in providing services where those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedom related to data privacy.

Your rights: You are entitled to the rights under Chapter III of the EU GDPR or Section 2 of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection with respect to the processing of your personal data, including the right to access and rectify personal data, or to request erasure of personal data. In order to verify your identity, we may require you to provide us with personal information prior to accessing any records containing information about you.
