How We Use the Information We Collect

Visitor/client information is used to route the requested Web information page to your computer browser for viewing. In theory, the requested Web page and the routing information could be discerned by other entities involved in transmitting the requested page to you. We do not control the privacy practices of those entities. The information we collect automatically each time you visit our sites helps us to better respond to your request in an appropriate format. In addition, this information is also used to better develop our sites to meet the demands of our audience.

The optional information we collect is essential for us to provide services or information tailored more specifically to your needs or to forward your message or inquiry to another entity that is better able to do so.

We may keep client information from our systems indefinitely after the Web page is transmitted, but we do not try to obtain any information to link it to the individuals who browse our Web site. However, on rare occasions when a "hacker" attempts to breach computer security, logs of access information are retained to permit a security investigation and in such cases may be forwarded together with any other relevant information in our possession to law enforcement agencies.

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order or request only to complete that order or request. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order or request. Similarly, we use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order or request only to complete that order or request. Again, we do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order or request.

We generally use return e-mail addresses only to answer the e-mail we receive. Such addresses are generally not used for any other purpose unless authorized to do so by the originator of the e-mail communication.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without a clear notice on the particular site and without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out. Any use of your information other than for those purposes or in conjunction with the notice provided at the time of the collection of such information is strictly prohibited by Advanced Ear Nose & Throat Associates PC.

Use of Internet "Cookies"

Providing Information is Your Choice

There is no legal requirement for you to provide any information at our Web site. However, we cannot deliver certain services to you without routing certain required information to the appropriate parties. Failure of your browser to provide nonessential technical information (such as Web "Cookies") will not prevent your use of our Web site but may prevent certain features from working. For any optional information that is requested at the Web site, failure to provide the requested information will mean that the particular feature or service associated with that part of the Web page may not be available to you.

Our Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online, consistent with the policies of Advanced Ear Nose & Throat Associates PC and with the laws and regulations of the State of Georgia.
