Information Collection Notice

This notice applies to all information collected by or submitted to the official Advanced Sleep Centers Web sites (see the definition above). The following information explains the Internet/Intranet privacy policy and practices that Advanced Sleep Centers has adopted for its official Web sites. In legal terms, it shall not be construed as a contractual promise, and Advanced Sleep Centers reserves the right to amend it at any time, from time to time without notice.

In addition to this explanation of policy and practice, Advanced Sleep Centers encourages its schools, departments, divisions and other units contributing to its official Web pages to provide specific notices about the collection and use of any personal information associated with those pages. The following information is therefore general, and we encourage you to read page-specific notices to ensure that you understand precisely the applicable privacy policies and practices which relate to those specific pages.

When you access our Web pages, Advanced Sleep Centers collects a series of information. Some of this information is collected automatically each time you visit any of our Web pages. Other optional information is collected only when the visitor and/or client chooses to provide us with specific information. The following is an overview of the information which we collect:

How We Use the Information We Collect

Visitor/client information is used to route the requested Web information page to your computer browser for viewing. In theory, the requested Web page and the routing information could be discerned by other entities involved in transmitting the requested page to you. We do not control the privacy practices of those entities. The information we collect automatically each time you visit our sites helps us to better respond to your request in an appropriate format. In addition, this information is also used to better develop our sites to meet the demands of our audience.

The optional information we collect is essential for us to provide services or information tailored more specifically to your needs or to forward your message or inquiry to another entity that is better able to do so.

We may keep client information from our systems indefinitely after the Web page is transmitted, but we do not try to obtain any information to link it to the individuals who browse our Web site. However, on rare occasions when a “hacker” attempts to breach computer security, logs of access information are retained to permit a security investigation and in such cases may be forwarded together with any other relevant information in our possession to law enforcement agencies.

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order or request only to complete that order or request. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order or request. Similarly, we use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order or request only to complete that order or request. Again, we do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order or request.

We generally use return e-mail addresses only to answer the e-mail we receive. Such addresses are generally not used for any other purpose unless authorized to do so by the originator of the e-mail communication.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without a clear notice on the particular site and without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out. Any use of your information other than for those purposes or in conjunction with the notice provided at the time of the collection of such information is strictly prohibited by Advanced Sleep Centers.

Use of Internet “Cookies”

Some official Advanced Sleep Centers Web sites use “cookies.” Often a cookie enables the Practice Web site to tailor what you see according to the way you entered our site.

Providing Information is Your Choice

There is no legal requirement for you to provide any information at our Web site. However, we cannot deliver certain services to you without routing certain required information to the appropriate parties. Failure of your browser to provide nonessential technical information (such as Web “Cookies”) will not prevent your use of our Web site but may prevent certain features from working. For any optional information that is requested at the Web site, failure to provide the requested information will mean that the particular feature or service associated with that part of the Web page may not be available to you.

Our Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online, consistent with the policies of Advanced Sleep Centers and with the laws and regulations of the State of Georgia.

Jurisdiction

This service is not targeted to users in a particular locality, nor is it intended to constitute the doing of business in any jurisdiction, nor to be a solicitation of business anywhere on behalf of Advanced Sleep Centers Practice or any affiliate organizations, nor to constitute any contacts with any jurisdiction outside of the state of Georgia. This agreement is entered-into and performed in the state of Georgia, United States of America, and is governed by and shall be construed in all respects under the laws of Georgia, exclusive of its choice of law or conflict of laws provisions. In any claim or action directly or indirectly arising under this agreement or related to the service, each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Georgia state district court sitting in Fulton County, Georgia, or if such court does not have subject-matter jurisdiction, then each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the United States court for the district of Georgia, and whichever of those two courts has jurisdiction, each party waives any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such court. If any of the provisions of this agreement are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction not to be enforceable, then such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to its subject matter. It may not be modified except as described elsewhere in this agreement. Anything in the service inconsistent with or conflicting with the terms of this agreement is superseded by the terms of this agreement.
