Privacy Policy

GENERAL

Many of the ways in which you interact with this Physicians WEIGHT LOSS Centers website (the "Site") allow us to learn about you. We collect and store statistics and other information about the online activities of our visitors on an aggregated (collective) basis. For example, we track the number of people who view each page to learn which features are the most popular. In most instances, we do not obtain personally identifiable information about you.

In those instances where we do collect personally identifiable information, you have the option of choosing whether or not to reveal it to us. Some examples of when you voluntarily submit this kind of information include (but may not be limited to) when you fill out the registration page, send us feedback, or post on our message boards. Personally identifiable information you may choose to provide include your name, physical address, email address, telephone number, other information such as your current weight and goal weight, or a credit card number, provided in association with other personally identifiable information. If you do not provide all "required" information, however, some portions of our Site will not work properly for you, or you may be denied access to certain sections of the Site.

In the event of a complaint, we may also receive personally identifiable information about you from other parties or from other users or third parties who may communicate information to us about you in relation to that complaint.

HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell your email addresses or your name and personal demographic information to mass marketers. We may use your information on personal and aggregated basis to do such things as distribute email communications, operate our Site, enhance our Site, and deliver advertising. We may also use this data, both aggregated and personally identifiable, to enhance your onsite experience by displaying content and marketing messages that we believe will be of interest to you. We may disclose aggregated information about our site to third parties for purposes of analyzing our Site traffic and optimizing how we layout content on the site.

We may share information collected through transactions (either online or at a local Physicians WEIGHT LOSS Centers) like names, addresses, and purchase history, under contracts with non-Physicians WEIGHT LOSS Centers companies such as printers, mail houses, and list management companies that help Physicians WEIGHT LOSS Centers of America, Inc. inform you of products or special offers to which you may be entitled. All companies with which we do business have agreed to be bound to the restraints of this Privacy Policy and will not sell, rent or otherwise transmit your personal information.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING METHODS

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our Site. We use cookies or, in a limited number of cases, IP addresses for a number of reasons. First, cookies allow you to store your password without having to constantly re-enter it. Second, cookies can also help us to tailor our Site or a marketing message to better match your needs and interests. Third, cookies allow us to better understand how users use our Site, which in turn helps us focus our resources on features that are most popular with our users. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our Site may not work properly if you do.

OTHER SITES

Please note that if you provide any information on your own to parties who provide service to us or to any other sites you encounter on the Internet (even if these sites are branded with our branding), different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing information to third parties.

LIMITS ON OUR ABILITIES

Although your privacy is important to us, we cannot ensure that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can (and by use of our Site you authorize us to) disclose information about you to private entities, law enforcement, or other government officials as we, in our discretion or as may be required under law, believe necessary or appropriate.

SECURITY

We use industry-standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers where appropriate. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. Physicians WEIGHT LOSS Centers encourages you to learn as much as you can about your privacy on the Internet.

CHANGES TO WEB SITE

We may change, move, or delete portions of, or may add to, our Site from time to time.

UPDATES

Written notice of modifications to the Privacy Policy will be posted on this Site. Your use of our Site following any such change constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the terms as changed.
