PracticeSurveillance.com strives to offer its visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and
personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never
sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third
party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide
information when you register for access to certain portions of our
site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you
make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other
interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites,
PracticeSurveillance.com also collects information automatically and
through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our
visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service
Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold
information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may
store your user name and password, sparing you from having to
re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the
number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while
visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also
gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can
choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting
your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be
unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to
re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to
customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we
collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your
visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We
respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services
(e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are
most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared
with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information
does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you
or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
PracticeSurveillance.com to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and
privacy policy; services and products offered by
PracticeSurveillance.com and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
PracticeSurveillance.com may also be used for other purposes,
including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting,
processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes
and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third
parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site
(our Web hosting service for example) may access such information.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition,
from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may
sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In
such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to
do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may
owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with
notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and
advertisements
PracticeSurveillance.com expects its partners, advertisers and
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however,
that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates
and other content providers accessible through our site, may have
their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For
example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as
part of a frame on a PracticeSurveillance.com page, certain content
that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
PracticeSurveillance.com you may be introduced to, or be able to
access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes
offered by other parties. PracticeSurveillance.com is not
responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you.
For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and
may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether
you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties
and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
PracticeSurveillance.com does not control the use of this technology
by third parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities
are beyond the control of PracticeSurveillance.com and this policy.
Children
PracticeSurveillance.com does not knowingly collect or solicit
Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 13
except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any
information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we
will delete that information immediately. If you believe

rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.
