We do not collect personally identifiable information (i.e., name, address or phone number) from users except as provided on the secure patient referral pages.

We also use "cookies" to track traffic on the site and user preferences. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that websites generally store on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. Collecting this information, however, does not allow us to personally identify you.
