Privacy Statement

Progressive Medical Center is committed to protecting the privacy of patients and website visitors. This Statement of Privacy applies to the Progressive Medical Center website and governs data collection and usage. By using this website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of Personal Information

Progressive Medical Center collects personally identifiable information such as email address, name, home or work address, and telephone number. Progressive Medical Center also collects anonymous demographic information that is not unique to you, including ZIP code, age, gender, and preferences.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected when you visit this website. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain name, access time, and referring website address. This information is used to operate the service, maintain quality of the service, and provide general statistics regarding use of the website.

If you directly disclose personally identifiable information or sensitive personal data through public message boards, that information may be collected and used by others.

Progressive Medical Center encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from this website so you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share information. Progressive Medical Center is not responsible for the privacy statements or content of other websites.

Use of Personal Information

Progressive Medical Center collects and uses personal information to operate the website and deliver the services you have requested. Progressive Medical Center also uses personally identifiable information to inform you of other services available from Progressive Medical Center and its affiliates, and may contact you to conduct research about current services or potential new services.

Progressive Medical Center does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. Progressive Medical Center may share data with trusted partners to perform statistical analysis, send email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services and are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Progressive Medical Center does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Progressive Medical Center will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law.

Protected Health Information

Protected health information (PHI) is handled separately from the general website data practices described in this Privacy Policy. PHI is governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and by Progressive Medical Center's separate Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided to patients at the time of intake. If you submit health information through a secure form on this website (for example, a consultation request), that information is transmitted through HIPAA-compliant channels and is handled under the Notice of Privacy Practices rather than this website Privacy Policy.

Use of Cookies

The website uses "cookies" to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie.

Security of Personal Information

Progressive Medical Center secures your personal information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Personally identifiable information you provide is stored on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access. When personal information is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
