Website Privacy Policy

Kennesaw Pediatrics respects your privacy and is committed to protect the personal information that you share with us. Generally, you can browse through our website without giving us any information about yourself. When we do need your personal information to provide services that you request or when you choose to provide us with your personal information, this policy describes how we collect and use your personal information.

Information Collection

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information, title, birth date, gender, and other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

When you browse our website, you do so anonymously. We don’t collect personal information, including your email address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to any personal information. Like many other commercial websites, the Kennesaw Pediatrics website may use a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the site. Please go to “Cookies and Tracking Information” below for more information.

Kennesaw Pediatrics collects personal information you provide when you submit your information to Kennesaw Pediatrics for any reason, such as to register for a class or event.

The Patient Portal and CHADIS are separate websites not administered by Kennesaw Pediatrics. Access to these sites requires a login and a password. Kennesaw Pediatrics does not have access to the usernames and passwords you set up for these accounts. The use of those web pages, and the information you provide are governed by a separate user agreement that you should be able to locate on those websites.

Notification

When personal information is collected, we will inform you at the point of collection the purpose for the collection. Kennesaw Pediatrics will not transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent.
We will always give you the opportunity to “opt in” before using your personal information for any purpose than the explicit purpose for which it was submitted. This means we will require your affirmative action to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes other than the purpose for which it was submitted.

Cookies and Tracking Technology

A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of the website use cookies to understand user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of the website if you do so. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use/navigate through many parts of our website.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Your personal information is never shared outside Kennesaw Pediatrics without your permission, except under conditions explained below.

Kennesaw Pediatrics may send your personal information to other companies or people under any of the following circumstances: when we have your consent to share the information; we need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested; we need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of Kennesaw Pediatrics to provide a product or service to you (we will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose). We will also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, to enforce our Terms of Use, or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public or our websites.

Your Ability to Review and Delete Your Account and Information

If you are a registered user of the Patient Portal, you can review your personal information by logging in using your user name and password. You may also request deletion of any of your personal information held by us by sending an email to info@kennesawpediatrics.com.

Data Security

Kennesaw Pediatrics safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and administrative procedures. In certain areas of our websites, Kennesaw Pediatrics uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to enhance the security of data transmissions. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.

Children and Privacy

Our websites do not target and are not intended to attract children under the age of 13. Kennesaw Pediatrics does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 or send them requests for personal information.

Third Party Sites

The website may contain links to other sites. Kennesaw Pediatrics does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

Kennesaw Pediatrics will amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information we will make that information available by posting a notice on this site.
