Privacy Policy
Your privacy on
the
Internet is of the utmost importance
to us. At Hearing
Healthcare Center, we want to make your experience
online
satisfying
and safe. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel
you
should fully understand our policy and
the
terms and
conditions surrounding
the
capture and
use of that information. The information you provide is safeguarded. This Privacy Policy discloses what information we
gather and how
we use it. It applies
to information we
collect on this Website, including through
electronic messages between
you and the Website
(for example, when you
submit a message using our “Customer Service/Feedback” form or when you
complete the “Request an
Appointment” form). It does not apply to information collected
by
us offline or
through other means, or to
information collected by third parties, including
through any application or content that may link to
or
be accessible
from this Website. By accessing
or using this Website, you
agree
to this Privacy Policy. Please review it carefully.
Information Hearing Healthcare Center
gathers
and tracks
We gather two types of information
about users:
• Information that users provide
through
optional, voluntary submissions. This information may include personal
information, such as your name, phone
number, email
address, state and
zip
code. We collect this information
to respond to
requests from users, customize
our
features for individual visitors who are
Hearing
Healthcare Center customers and
to notify customers about updates to our site and
products or services.
• Information
that we
collect automatically as you navigate the Website. This
information may include usage details, IP addresses and information collected
through tracking
technologies such as cookies and web beacons. Information Hearing
Healthcare Center gathers through aggregated tracking
is
used to determine which
areas of our sites users like and
don't like
based on traffic to
those
areas. We do
not track what individual
users read, but rather how well
each page performs overall. We
collect this information in
order to determine how to
create the best experience for our customers. We may track search
terms entered in
our
Search function
as
one of
many measures of what interests our users, but this tracking
is
never associated with
an individual user.
Policy amendment
Hearing
Healthcare
Center approaches Internet communications with a strong
commitment to individual privacy rights and concerns. As the Internet evolves, our policy will
continue
to change
and
develop. We therefore
reserve the right to amend
this Privacy Policy at any time
with or without prior notice. Please
check this page
periodically for changes. Your continued
use of the
sites following
any changes to
this Privacy Policy will
constitute your
acceptance
of
such changes.
Use of personal information
Hearing
Healthcare
Center strictly protects the security of your personal
information
and honors your choices for its intended
use. We
disclose your information to
no third parties
unless it is specifically stated otherwise. We may use third party contractors to help
us operate our business and the sites or administer activities on
our
behalf, and may share your personal
information with these contractors for those limited purposes. We use your information
solely to fulfill
services, transact a purchase, and
help us improve our Website and
product offerings to you. Notwithstanding any other provision
to the contrary, [company name] reserves the right to
cooperate with local, state and federal
officials in
any
investigation relating to
any purported illegal activity(ies) and, when
required
by
law, regulation, legal process or government requests, to disclose any personal information furnished by you or collected
by
[company name] to
law enforcement authorities or other relevant or related third
parties.
Some of the features on
this Website
allow you

online form. If your communication requests a
response from us, we
may send
you
a response via
e-mail. The
e-mail
response
or

including your name, address, etc. We cannot guarantee
that our e-mails to you will
be secure from unauthorized interception.
Accessing and correcting your

You may contact us if you wish to
view, edit, or delete your personal information from our database, and we will
use commercially reasonable
efforts to accommodate your request. You may also
contact us if you

or
provided
to others through your use of this Website.
Your California privacy rights

purposes. To make such
a request, please contact us and indicate whether you

California law requires us to let you know how we
respond to web browser “Do
Not Track”
signals. Our Website does not currently support “Do Not Track” codes. That is, Hearing
Healthcare Center does not currently respond
