WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

We are committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors to our website, and we want you to understand how we protect, collect, and use your information. Please note that the following policy applies only to your use of our website. Our Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) notice of privacy practices, which governs your personal, protected health information (PHI) after clinical service engagement, can be found here.

This website privacy policy applies to individually identifiable information that you provide to us. This privacy statement supplements the HIPAA notice for PHI. If there is ever any conflict between this privacy policy and the HIPAA notice, the HIPAA notice will apply. The HIPAA notice does not apply to information that is not PHI.

WHAT INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

Information You Give Us

We collect and briefly store information that you provide directly to us. This includes information you submit on forms, such as contact request forms or donation forms. We only collect the minimum necessary information for us to be able to provide services to you as requested. We may collect some or all of the following information:

Contact information, such as your full name, email address, phone number, and postal address;
Payment information, such as your credit card number, expiration date, and credit card security code;
Any other information you choose to provide us, including information you enter into the forms found on our website.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you interact with our site, certain information about your use of our site is automatically collected. We may use this information in aggregate form to learn statistics about site visits, including page response times, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page. Much of this information may be collected through cookies, which are small bits of information that are stored by your computer's web browser. You can usually change your browser settings to prevent acceptance of cookies or make changes to your cookie settings.

How We Use the Information We Collect

The information you provide to us will be used to:

Fulfill your request for services and information;
Respond to your inquiries;
Fulfill your request for philanthropic donations;
Improve the site and online platforms;
Fulfill any other purpose for which you provided it.

We will not use your information for any purposes other than as described in this privacy policy or as explained to you at the point at which the information was collected. Electronic communications that you send to us electronically through our site may be shared with a provider in our organization that is most able to address your inquiry. If you provide personal information (such as an email address or a phone number), it is shared only with those people who need to see it to respond to your question or request. Those persons have agreed to keep all data fully confidential. We make every effort to respond in a timely fashion once communications are received.

How We Protect the Information We Collect

We use reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information under our control and appropriately limit access to it. We use a variety of information security measures to protect your online transactions with us. Our site uses encryption technology, including TLS 1.3 encryption and level 1 PCI compliance. All direct payment gateways used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our donation form.

APWI cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. We take reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide. However, electronic transmissions via the Internet are not necessarily secure from interception, and so we cannot absolutely guarantee the security or confidentiality of such transmissions.

Sharing of Information

Akron Physician Wellness Initiative (APWI) does not sell, trade, or rent personal information about its site visitors, or any personal information collected from its site visitors.

In the course of doing business, we employ a small number of other companies to perform a limited number of functions on our behalf. For example, we may provide information as necessary to companies that host our online platforms or send communications on our behalf. These service providers may have access to information about you if it is needed to perform their functions for us, but they are not authorized by us to use or disclose such information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements, and they are required to maintain the information in confidence.

Our organization is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to explain our services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.

Data Retention

We will retain your information for only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

Links to Other Websites

Our site has links to other websites, many of which have their own privacy policies. Be sure to review the privacy policy on the site you are visiting.
