Bonding values your privacy. The information gathered about on the Forum includes:
Anonymous information is information that cannot identify a specific individual unless combined with personally identifiable information. We may use anonymous information to obtain a better understanding of how users use the Forum to improve the user experience and site performance. Examples of non-personally identifiable information include zip code and data collected by browsers and servers using cookies.
The Forum uses cookies and other tracking. Cookies are small text files of information stored by the Internet browser on your computer's hard drive. For example, we may use cookies to collect browsing data to keep track of your preferences and profile information and to collect general usage and volume statistical information. Our cookies do not collect personal or confidential information and are not spyware. Some of our cookies are served by us, and some are served by third parties who are delivering services on our behalf.
You may set your Internet web browser to refuse cookies or to remove cookies from your hard drive. By blocking or deleting cookies used on our website, you may not be able to take full advantage of our services.
When you register for the Forum, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number and other personal information. Bonding will not disclose, give, sell, or transfer any personal information to any third parties.
The Forum may contain links to websites that are not operated by Bonding and do not imply Bonding’s endorsement of the site’s products or services. Further, please note that when you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave the Forum and go to another site, and another entity may collect personal information from you. Bonding has no control over, does not review and cannot be responsible for these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of your personal information after you click on links to such outside websites.
Bonding will take reasonable care to protect and maintain the confidentiality and security of the information you provide and the information collected automatically. However, Bonding strongly cautions against sharing sensitive personal health information, or any other confidential information you do not want people to know, on the Forum. Should you choose to provide information in this manner, you do so at your own risk. Please keep in mind that any message you may send through the Forum or through email is not secure and may be susceptible to third-party interception. As a result, you transmit information at your own risk.
Bonding may share personal information you provide to us with third parties under certain circumstances. For example, Bonding may share personal information with third parties that perform services on Bonding’s behalf. These services may include, but are not limited to, operating the Forum, hosting the Forum, authorization and processing of your payments, and sending advertisements and marketing and promotional materials to you (including direct mail marketing). Those third-party service providers are not authorized to use or disclose personal information you provide to Bonding on or through the Forum for any purpose other than to perform the services designated by us. When required by state and federal health information privacy laws, Bonding will enter into Business Associate Agreements in which the service providers will agree to comply with state and federal laws requiring the protection and security of patient information.
Bonding may also disclose your personal information as required or permitted by law such as to comply with a subpoena, in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry, court order or similar legal process. Bonding may also disclose personal information when Bonding reasonably believes that disclosure is necessary to protect her rights or to protect your safety or the safety of others. Further, Bonding may disclose your personal information in order to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, investigate fraud or respond to a government request and to contact users in connection with their inappropriate use of the Forum, noncompliance with the Terms of Use or in connection with a complaint filed about the use of the Forum by another user. Finally, Bonding may disclose your personal information to any other third party with your prior consent
Bonding may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If Bonding makes any material changes to this Privacy Policy, you will be notified by email (sent to the email address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on the Forum prior to the change becoming effective. Bonding encourages you to periodically review this policy for the latest information on our privacy practices.
