EMAIL
14. Risks of transmitting Personal Information and data via e-mail. Transmitting Personal Information and data, including personal health information, via email poses several risks you should be aware of. We use reasonable means to protect the security and confidentiality of email information but cannot guarantee the security and confidentiality of email communications. You should not communicate with Us via email without understanding and accepting these risks. These risks include, but are not limited to the following: employers and online services may have a legal right to inspect emails that pass through their system; email is easier to falsify than handwritten or signed hard copies; emails can introduce viruses into a computer system and could potentially damage or disrupt the computer; email can be forwarded, intercepted, circulated, stored or even changed without the knowledge or permission of the sender or recipients; email senders can easily misaddress an email resulting in it being sent to one or more unintended and unknown recipients; and email cannot be readily erased or shredded (i.e., even when deleted by both sender and recipient, backup copies may exist on a computer or in cyberspace); and use of email to discuss sensitive information can increase the risk of such information being disclosed to third parties. By sending or transmitting any information (including Personal Information) to Us via e-mail, including in connection with your use of the Web Sites and/or the Services, you thereby agree to the following conditions:
You have read and understand the above risks relating to communicating with Us via e-mail, and have agreed to communicate with us via e-mail notwithstanding the above risks;
any emails concerning your treatment will be kept by us as part of your record;
if an email you send to Us requires a response and you have not received a response within a reasonable time frame, it is your responsibility to follow up to determine whether the intended recipient received the email and when you can expect a response; and
We are not responsible for information lost due to technical failures associated with your email software or the services offered by your internet service provider.
IS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE?
15. Security and your Personal Information. We take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information is kept safe from loss, unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. Among the steps we take in order to protect your Personal Information are:
premises security;
restricted access to Personal Information;
deploying technological safeguards like security software and firewalls to prevent hacking or unauthorized computer access; and
internal password and security policies.
We may make available our Services through a Web Sites, but also by telephone, videoconference, and social media sites, and we may also collect your personal information through those media and sources. Unfortunately, no transmission of information via the Internet and no means of information storage is completely secure.
