Personal and Non-Personal Information

Balance Integrative Medicine understands that your privacy is important to you. We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personally-identifiable information as you use this website. This Privacy Policy tells you how we protect and use information that we gather from you. By using this website, you consent to the terms described in the most recent version of this Privacy Policy. You should also read our Terms of Use to understand the general rules about your use of this website, and any additional terms that may apply when you access particular services or materials on certain areas of this website. "We," "our" means Balance Integrative Medicine and its affiliates. "You," "your," "visitor," or "user" means the individual accessing this site.

Our Privacy Policy identifies how we treat your personal and non-personal information.

What Is Non-Personal Information and How Is It Collected and Used?

Non-personal information is information that cannot identify you. If you visit this website to read information, such as information about one of our services, we may collect certain non-personal information about you from your computer's web browser. Because non-personal information cannot identify you or be tied to you in any way, there are no restrictions on the ways that we can use or share non-personal information.

Personal information is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and fax number. We may collect personal information from you when you send us an application or other form, conduct a transaction with us, our affiliates, or others, or provide information in support of a transaction. In some places on this website you may have the opportunity to send us personal information about yourself, elect to receive particular information, purchase access to a product or service, or participate in an activity.

Are Cookies or Other Technologies Used to Collect Personal Information?

Yes, we may use cookies and related technologies, such as web beacons, to collect information on our website. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you register with us, a cookie helps Balance Integrative Medicine recall your specific information on subsequent visits. A web beacon is a small graphic image that allows the party that set the web beacon to monitor and collect certain information about the viewer of a web page, web-based document, or email message.

Third-party vendors also may use cookies on our website. We may contract with third parties who use cookies to track and analyze anonymous usage and volume statistical information from visitors and members. Such information is shared externally only on an anonymous, aggregated basis. These third parties use persistent cookies to help improve the visitor experience, manage site content, and track visitor behavior.

From time to time we may allow third parties to post advertisements on our website, and those third-party advertisements may include a cookie or web beacon served by the third party. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of information collected from you by third-party ad servers. You should check the privacy policies of those advertisers or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technology.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of Balance Integrative Medicine websites.

How Does Balance Integrative Medicine Use Personal Information?

Balance Integrative Medicine may keep and use personal information we collect from or about you to provide access to this website or other products or services, respond to your requests, bill you for products or services you purchased, provide ongoing service and support, contact you with information that might be of interest to you, ask for your opinion about our products or the products of others, keep records, analyze website use, and research, develop, and improve programs, products, services, and content.

Personal information collected online may be combined with information you provide through other sources. We may also remove your personal identifiers. Once we have de-identified information, it is non-personal information and we may treat it like other non-personal information. We may use your personal information to protect our rights or property, protect someone's health, safety, or welfare, and comply with a law, regulation, court order, or other legal process.

Does Balance Integrative Medicine Share Personal Information With Others?

We will not share your personal information collected from this website with an unrelated third party without your permission, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. In the ordinary course of business, we may share some personal information with companies that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. We do not authorize those companies to keep, disclose, or use your information with others except for the purpose of providing the services we asked them to provide.

We will not sell, exchange, or publish your personal information except in conjunction with a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, or acquisition. For some transactions, third-party service vendors such as credit card companies, clearinghouses, and banks may collect personal information directly from you to assist with the transaction. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we ask them to disclose how they use your personal information before they collect it.

If you submit a review for a third party using a third-party application, during the submission process we may ask your permission to gather basic information such as name and email address and share it with the third party for whom you are submitting the review. We may be legally compelled to release your personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, law, or regulation.

We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting website visitors who violate our rules or engage in behavior that is harmful to other visitors or illegal. We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we feel disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or property, protect someone's health, safety, or welfare, or comply with a law, regulation, court order, or other legal process.

How Is Personal Information Used for Communications?

We may contact you periodically by email, mail, or telephone to provide information regarding programs, products, services, and content that may be of interest to you. Some features on this website allow you to communicate with us using an online form. If your communication requests a response, we may send you a response by email. The email response or confirmation may include your personal information. We cannot guarantee that our emails to you will be secure from unauthorized interception.

How Is Personal Information Secured?

We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized personnel and third-party vendors have access to your personal information, and these employees and vendors are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personal information.
