The ATBC Privacy
Policy was updated on November 10, 2017.
Your privacy is
important to ATBC. So we’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers
how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy
practices and let us know if you have any questions.
Collection
and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is data
that can be used to identify or contact a single person.
You
may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in
contact with ATBC. We may combine it with other information to
provide and improve our services. You are not required to provide the
personal information that we have requested, but, if you chose not to
do so, in many cases we will not be able to provide you with our
services or respond to any queries you may have.
Here are some
examples of the types of personal information ATBC may collect and
how we may use it:
What personal information
we collect
• When you book an appointment or contact
us, we may collect a variety of information, including your name,
mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences,
and credit card information.
How we use your
personal information
• The personal information we
collect allows us to keep you posted on ATBC’s appointment status
for confirming your appointment with us.
• We also use
personal information to help us create, develop, operate, deliver,
and improve our services and for anti-fraud purposes.
• We
may use your personal information, including date of birth, to verify
identity, assist with identification of users, and to determine
appropriate services. For example, we may use date of birth to
determine the age of the people using our services.
• From
time to time, we may use your personal information to send important
notices, such as communications about appointment times and policies.
Because this information is important to your interaction with ATBC,
you may not opt out of receiving these communications.
• We
may also use personal information for internal purposes such as
auditing, data analysis, and research to improve ATBC’s services
and customer communications.
Collection and Use of
Non-Personal Information
We also collect data in a form that does
not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific
individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal
information for any purpose. The following are some examples of
non-personal information that we collect and how we may use
it:
• We may collect information such as occupation,
language, zip code, area code, and location, so that we can better
understand customer behavior and improve our services.
• We may collect information
regarding customer activities on our website and our other services.
This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more
useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of
our website and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is
considered non‑personal information for the purposes of this
Privacy Policy.
• We may collect and store details of how
you use our services, including search queries. This information may
be used to improve the relevancy of results provided by our services.
Except in limited instances to ensure quality of our services over
the Internet, such information will not be associated with your
IP address.
If we do combine non-personal information
with personal information the combined information will be treated as
personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Cookies
and Other Technologies
ATBC do not use cookies on our website.
We
do not encourage any advertising on our services. In third-party
search engines, you may see ads based on other information.
As
is true of most internet services, we might gather some information
automatically and store it in log files. This information might
include Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language,
Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and
applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and
clickstream data.
We use this information to understand
and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user
behavior on the site, to improve our services, and to gather
demographic information about our user base as a whole.
In
some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked
to content on the ATBC website. When customers click one of these
URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the
destination page on our website. We might track this click-through
data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure
the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not
to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links
in the email messages.
Disclosure to Third Parties
At times
ATBC may make certain personal information available to strategic
partners that work with ATBC to provide services. Personal
information will only be shared by ATBC to provide or improve our
services; it will not be shared with third parties for their
marketing purposes.
Others
It may be necessary − by law,
legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and
governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence
− for ATBC to disclose your personal information. We may also
disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of
national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public
importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
We may
also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure
is reasonably necessary to protect our operations or users.
Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we
may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the
relevant third party.
Protection of Personal Information
ATBC
takes the security of your personal information very seriously. When
your personal data is stored by ATBC, we use computer systems with
limited access housed in facilities using physical security measures.
When you use some ATBC services, or applications or post on
ATBC website or social networking service, the personal information
and content you share is visible to other users and can be read,
collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal
information you choose to share or submit in these instances. For
example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting,
that information is public. Please take care when using these
features.
Integrity and Retention of Personal Information
ATBC
makes it easy for you to keep your personal information accurate,
complete, and up to dat by personally contacting our services (Unit).
We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to
fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and for data
collection purposes.
Access to Personal Information
You can
help ensure that your contact information and preferences are
accurate, complete, and up to date by personally contacting the unit
by phone, email or using the contact form on our website. For other
personal information we hold, you can contact us for any purpose
including to request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or
delete the data if ATBC is not required to retain it by law or for
legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that
are frivolous/vexatious, jeopardize the privacy of others, are
extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required
by local law. Access, correction, or deletion requests can be made by
personally contacting our unit.
Children & Education
We
understand the importance of taking extra precautions to protect the
privacy and safety of children using ATBC services. Children under
the age of 18, are not permitted to book appointments, unless their
parent is involved in the process.
If we learn
that we have collected the personal information of a child under 18,
outside the above circumstances we will take steps to delete the
information as soon as possible.
If at any time a parent needs to
access, correct, or delete data associated with child’s details,
they may contact us personally by phone or email.
Third‑Party
Sites and Services
ATBC websites and services may contain links to
third-party websites, products, and services. Our services may also
use or offer products or services from third parties.
Information collected by third parties, which may include such
things as location data or contact details, is governed by their
privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy
practices of those third parties.
Our Companywide
Commitment to Your Privacy
To make sure your personal
information is secure, we communicate our privacy and security
guidelines to ATBC employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards
within the unit.
