Medicis Aesthetics' online privacy protection policy
Medicis Aesthetics respects the privacy of every individual who visits our web sites or responds to our interactive advertisements. This Privacy Policy identifies the information Medicis Aesthetics will collect about you and how we will use that information. Medicis Aesthetics only collects personal information about you when you voluntarily complete and transmit to us a submittal form with personal information about you.
Information we collect
The personally identifiable information we collect in these voluntary submittals includes the following, if included in the submittal: your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, gender, age, marital status, household income, use of certain aesthetic techniques to improve your appearance, your opinions about the need for certain aesthetic procedures, and any personal information you elect to include in a testimonial. Our web site and other online resources may use tracking technologies, such as "cookies," to enable you to use our resources more efficiently. Cookies are small data files that enable us to store small bits of information about your use of the site and to redirect you to areas of previous visits.
How we use and disclose information
The information we collect is used to improve the content of our web site. It may be used to contact you, via e-mail or regular mail, to provide you with information we believe may be of interest to you. We do not sell or transfer the information you send to us, including any personally identifiable information, to others. Information that is not personal, or is not associated with any personally identifiable data, such as questions, answers, comments, ideas and suggestions, shall be deemed to be non-confidential, and Medicis Aesthetics shall be free to disclose and use the same for any purpose, without any obligation to you.
If you don't want us to collect any personal information
You may choose not to provide any personal information to Medicis Aesthetics online by electing not to voluntarily enter personal information into a form or data field on our web site. You can also limit the use of personal information by checking or unchecking options provided at the time that you enter that information. Finally, you can contact us as provided below and request that we delete any personal information we may have collected.
Protecting the privacy of children
In general, Medicis Aesthetics' web site is not directed at children. Most of the online services that we offer are designed for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Where requests for information about a medication are permitted by law, individuals requesting information about a medication that is indicated for use in children must be 18 years of age or older.
Not covered by HIPAA regulations
Medicis Aesthetics is not a "covered entity," like a physician or a hospital under the federal regulations implemented by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Therefore, the information you provide is not subject to the specific protections and requirements of those regulations.
Updates to privacy policy
This Privacy Policy may be changed from time to time and any changes will be posted on our web site. We will not notify you individually of any changes we make.
