Privacy Policy | Foot And Ankle Clini

The Information We Collect and Use

By information we mean information about you collected through our Service
website(s), including your email address and other information you provide to us
by registering for our services or making requests for information about our
services. Any information provided to us will be retained and used solely for the
purposes of fulfilling your request for information, fulfilling a request through a
Site feature, performing and carrying out the terms of the Service, or
communicating with you as a member of the Service.

Registration for the Service is not required to simply view the Site. If you elect to
register for the Service, The Foot and Ankle Clinic asks you for information that
enables us to provide the Service. You will be registering with The Foot and
Ankle Clinic on the form provided and such registration may require you to
provide contact information such as your name and email address.

Aggregate Information

From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information
about the use of the Site and the Service, such as how many visitors visit a
specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks,
if any, they “click” on. We collect this information through the use of technologies
such as “cookies” and “IP addresses”, which are discussed in greater detail
below. We may also group this information into aggregate visitor data in order
to describe the use of the Site and Service to our existing or potential business
partners or other third parties, or in response to a government request.
However, please be assured that this aggregate data will in no way personally
identify you, other list members or any other visitors to the Site.

IP Addresses

An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you’re surfing the web. Web servers, the computers that “serve” web
pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Company collects

IP addresses for purposes of system administration, to report aggregate
information to third parties and to track the use of the Site. When visitors
request pages from the Site or click on a link in a mailing sent through the
Service our servers log the visitors’ IP addresses. We reserve the right to use IP
addresses to identify a visitor or list member when it will enhance the users
experience or if we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the Site’s
policies or to protect Company, the Site, its visitors, the Service, our Internet
Service Provider partners, the list members or others.

Cookies are pieces of information that a websites transfers to an individual’s
hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make web-surfing easier for
you by saving your preferences while you’re at the Site. The use of cookies is an
industry standard — you’ll find them at most websites. For example, we may use
cookies on the Site to verify the subscriber’s login status. They are not used to
store personal information, or to retain historical or transactional subscriber
data. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us see which
areas are popular and which are not. Information such as the total number of
visitors and pages viewed is most easily tracked with cookies. We may use the
information from cookies to make improvements and updates to the Site and to
tailor our services to our visitors’, list members’ and survey participants’ needs.
You always have the option of disabling cookies using your browser preferences.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser
to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, please be
aware that some features of the Site will not function properly or may be slower
if you refuse cookies.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons / Web Bugs)

Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies,
and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to
cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are
embedded invisibly in HTML files and are about the size of the period at the end
of this sentence.

We may use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails
have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of
certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If
you no longer wish to receive our newsletter or other promotional

communications by email, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the
instructions included in each communication.

Profile

We may store information that we collect through cookies and clear gifs to
create a “profile” of your preferences. We may tie your personal information to
information in the profile to provide tailored promotions and marketing offers
or to improve the content of the Site for you. We do not share your profile with
third parties.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Except for the limited situations listed here in this Privacy Policy, we will not
share your personal information with third parties.

Agents and Third Party Service Providers

To provide the Service to you, we may sometimes use other businesses to
perform certain specialized services such as data processing or other technology
services. In such instances, we may provide your personal information to those
businesses but they are not permitted to retain or use your information for any
other purpose.

Change of Control / Asset Transfer

As the Company develops, we may buy other businesses or their assets or sell all
or parts of our business assets. Customer information is generally one of the
business assets involved in such transactions. Thus, in the event that the assets
of the Company in whole or in parts are acquired by a third-party, customer
information, including any visitor information collected through the Site or the
Service, would be one of the transferred assets. In the event of a corporate
change in control or sale of all or parts of our business assets our users will be
notified in accordance with the “Changes to this Policy” section of the policy if
their personal information is provided to the new corporate entity or asset
purchaser.

Legal Compliance

Company reserves the right to disclose member information in special cases
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing

injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Company’s
rights or property, other visitors, list members, or anyone else that could be
harmed by such activities. Company also reserves the right to disclose visitor or
list member information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Security and Information Protection

The security of your information is important to us. When you enter sensitive
information (such as a credit card number) on our payment forms, we encrypt
that information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information
submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of
transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure,
however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to
protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Firewalls

Protecting the security of your personal information is very important to us.
When we store information that you have provided to us when registering for
the Service, that information is protected by security measures that include
“firewalls” (a combination of computer hardware and software that helps keep
unauthorized visitors from accessing information within our computer network),
“intrusion detection systems” (a combination of computer hardware and
software that helps detect any unauthorized visitors) and other tools such as
data encryption and physical security, where appropriate. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet or data repository can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. As a result, while Company strives to protect your personal information
and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you
disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft,
destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.

Links to Other Sites

Please be aware that when you are on the Site, or when you receive an email
message from us through the Service, you could be directed to other sites that
are beyond our control. There may be links to other sites from the Site’s pages
or from the email message we send to you that take you outside our Site. These
other sites may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data, or solicit personal
information. The privacy policies of these other sites may be significantly
different from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy
practices of these other sites and cannot guarantee the security of any of your
personal information collected there. Note that when you link to a third party
site from the Site, you may see pre-populated data fields with your personal
information; however, that information is not available to the third party unless
you take certain actions on the third party’s site, such as submitting a form.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 on
the Site or through the Service. If you are under the age of 13, please do not
provide any information to us. If we become aware that we have collected

information from a child under the age of 13, we will make commercially
reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.

Changes to this Policy
The terms of this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will notify you
of any material changes to this Privacy Policy by posting a notice on the
homepage of the Site for a reasonable period of time after such changes are
made, that this Privacy Policy has been updated, and by changing the “Effective”
date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to check this page
periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the Site and participation in
following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those
changes.
