OrthoNeuro Online Privacy Policy
OrthoNeuro takes your privacy seriously. Below is our Online Privacy Policy. For more information about the privacy of your personal health information, please read our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
OrthoNeuro values individual privacy and we want to give you the opportunity to understand the kind of information that we learn about you from our website. If you believe that OrthoNeuro is not following its stated Online Privacy Policy, or if you have questions about the Online Privacy Policy, please direct inquiries to:
WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS
This Online Privacy Policy covers OrthoNeuro’s treatment of personally identifiable information which is collected from you on the OrthoNeuro website and when you use any related online services. This Online Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that OrthoNeuro does not own or control, nor to people that OrthoNeuro does not employ or otherwise manage and direct.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
OrthoNeuro collects personally identifiable information when you set up a user account, visit the OrthoNeuro website, make purchases, request services, send communications, participate in surveys, and otherwise chose to provide information to OrthoNeuro through its website. Examples of personally identifiable information which may be collected includes, without limitation:
your name, birth date, contact information, and other personal information;
personal identifiers, such as your Social Security Number, username/password, credit card accounts; and,
specific personal information, such as survey responses, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, other medical information
From time to time, OrthoNeuro may provide you with the opportunity to participate in voluntary activities, such as surveys. We may request personal information from you, along with other information, in order for you to participate. Because participation in these activities is completely voluntary, you can elect not to disclose your personal information by not participating in the activity.
OrthoNeuro has adopted policies aimed at ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all protected health information that it creates, receives, transmits, and maintains. We strive for compliance with applicable privacy laws and have implemented technical safeguards to protect your information. Further, all of our employees and business associates are obligated to abide by the same set of rules. Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the internet, or via other media or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, although OrthoNeuro has taken steps to protect your protected health information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have concerns regarding the electronic transmission of sensitive information, especially medical information, you may wish to consider using non-electronic communication methods.
Other Information: Like most websites, we also automatically gather and log information about your computer and navigation patterns, including your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, the specific web pages that you visited during your connection to our website, and time/date information about your visit. None of this information, when used or provided in aggregate form, contains any information that personally identifies you. We may use this information, in aggregate form, for system maintenance or to gain a better understanding of how our website is used. We may also share this information, in aggregate form, with third parties for research or marketing purposes. We do not link this automatically-collected information to any personal information you voluntarily provide to us.
HOW DO WE USE COLLECTED INFORMATION?
The information OrthoNeuro collects helps to improve our website and services. For example, OrthoNeuro may use collected information to prevent and detect security threats, fraud or other malicious activity; communicate with you about our company or the products and services we offer; provide and improve service and support; customize your experience using our website; and respond to a communication from you. We may also provide information that identifies you to third party service providers and suppliers that OrthoNeuro has retained to deliver products, services and customer solutions. For example, OrthoNeuro may retain service providers and suppliers to help us fulfill your request for information, products, or services. Such providers and suppliers include, for example, credit card processors. Suppliers and service providers are required by contract to keep confidential the information received on behalf of OrthoNeuro and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for OrthoNeuro.
Except as described herein, OrthoNeuro will not share the personal information you provide to OrthoNeuro with third parties without your permission, unless it is to: (i) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (ii) investigate and help prevent security threats, fraud or other malicious activity; (iii) enforce/protect the rights and properties of OrthoNeuro or its affiliates; or (iv) protect the rights or personal safety of OrthoNeuro physicians, employees or other individuals.
OrthoNeuro also uses information we collect to analyze trends, to administer the website, to track users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We also use this information to improve the content of our web pages, and to customize the content and layout of our pages. All of this is done with the intention of making our website more useful to users.
We may use one or more third-party tracking services to track non-personal information about visitors to our site in the aggregate. These third-party services may use JavaScript, pixels, transparent GIF files, and other means to enable us to learn what brings users to our website. Any information we track in this manner is anonymous, limited to usage and volume statistics.
Cookies: A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. Cookies are typically classified as either “session” cookies or “persistent” cookies. Session cookies do not stay on your computer after you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire. Most browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can usually refuse cookies or selectively accept cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser (directions are typically available in your browser’s “help” file). OrthoNeuro may elect to use session cookies and/or persistent cookies on its website. We may link the information we store in cookies to your personal information in order to provide a faster and more pleasant online experience. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site will be limited.
Any use of session cookies will be to make it easier for you to navigate our site. For example, we may use session cookies to record session information, such as which web pages a user has visited, and to track user activity on the website. We may also use session cookies to store any passwords used on the website (such as a password associated with an account), so you don’t have to enter it more than once per session. Any use of persistent cookies will be to track and target the interests of our users for purposes that include enhancing the experience on our website.
Security: Your information is password-protected for your privacy and security. In certain areas we use 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect data transmissions. We have secured every secure page on our Web sites with a digital certificate, which is shown via the “site certificate” that is resident on all login pages. To view this certificate, click on the Secure Site symbol in these sections.

We do not control the collection or use of any information (including personal information) that occurs during your visit to third party web sites, and we make no representations and warranties about the privacy policies or practices of such sites.The information practices of those third-party web sites linked from the OrthoNeuro web site are not covered by this Online Privacy Policy. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our web site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personal information.
OrthoNeuro disclaims any liability for any third party’s use of your personal information obtained through using the third party web site.
Business Transitions: Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, OrthoNeuro decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its business.
Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. OrthoNeuro will seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions, and we will notify you via prominent notice on our website of any such change of ownership or control of your personal information.
Changes to This Policy: OrthoNeuro reserves the right to periodically revise this Online Privacy Policy. In the event we modify our Online Privacy Policy, we will give reasonable notice of the change on our home page. Since notice of any such policy change will not appear on our web site indefinitely and may only be posted for a limited time, it will be incumbent upon you to check our Online Privacy Policy regularly to see if we have made any modifications.
