3. Data Collection and Privacy Policy. The only personally-identifying information that we collect via the Web Site is information that you may voluntarily provide to us, e.g. through your submission of information such as your name and telephone number via "Contact Us" or "Schedule an Appointment" facilities available on the Web Site. We do not wish to receive any information that you consider private or confidential via the Web Site, and your submission of information confirms that you do not consider it to be confidential, and confirms your grant to us and our third-party service providers of the perpetual right to use, reproduce, distribute or disclose any information submitted in any way we deem appropriate without restriction. No assurance is given that any such information will be maintained or treated as private, confidential or secure (see "Security," below).

Like most web sites, we or our third-party service providers may use log files to collect Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamp. This information may be used to analyze site usage, administer the site, understand usage and navigation trends in aggregate, and determine the relevance of content. We or our third-party service providers may also place on your computer a cookie that assigns an anonymous, unique identifier to the end user’s Internet browser. Cookies are small data files commonly used on the Internet to help optimize and personalize the Internet end user experience and identify repeat visitors to websites. These cookies are not used to collect any personally identifiable information such as name, address, social security number, etc. These cookies may help us to personalize your experience, to pay providers that refer users to the Web Site, or to accomplish analogous business functions. We or our third-party service providers may retain logs and ad delivery and reporting data for accounting and audit purposes. As with personally identifiable data that you submit, we may use, reproduce, distribute or disclose any non-personally-identifiable information that we or our service providers collect, in any way we or they deem appropriate without restriction, and no assurance is given that any such information will be maintained or treated as private, confidential or secure.

4. Security. We may employ measures designed to promote the security of the Web Site, but make no warranties, representations or guarantees in this regard, including any warranty or representation that any such measures will be effective or will meet any particular objective or subjective criteria such as "best practices," "industry standards," reasonableness, or appropriateness. See "Data Collection and Privacy Policy," above.
