This Website Privacy Statement applies to personal information Derick Dermatology may obtain from visitors to our website, derickdermatology.com (the “Website”). Personal information is information that identifies an individual.
Please note that this Website Privacy Statement does not apply to protected health information as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which is covered by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
What personal information do we collect through the Website?
We collect personal information you submit through the Website, such as name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and date of birth. For example, you may provide this information when you subscribe to our newsletter or fill out an online form.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies, pixels, beacons, APIs, and other similar technologies on certain pages or locations on the Website. These technologies, depending on the type of technology and where it is placed on the Website, may collect information such as IP addresses, website referral URLs, pages visited, links clicked, search queries, approximate geolocation, and other details about visitor interactions with the Website. They may collect this information across the Internet and over time, and we, or our vendors, may combine information collected through these technologies with other information collected about you.
These technologies, including those managed solely by us and those provided by vendors and external parties, may be used for various purposes, such as to respond to your requests, improve Website performance, support functionality of Website features, perform analytics, combat fraud and safeguard security, and for marketing purposes.
For example, we use Google Analytics, for which we implement Google advertising features such as dynamic remarketing, interest-based advertising, audience targeting, behavioral reporting, demographics and interests reporting, user segment analysis, device reporting, display advertising, video ads reporting, and impression reporting. See here for more information on how Google Analytics uses the data it collects. You may opt-out of Google Analytics or adjust your Google advertising settings.
Tools for limiting cookies and similar technologies
To help us limit how certain information may be collected through cookies and similar technologies on the Website, we may implement data modification and obfuscation tools provided by vendors. These types of tools function as an intermediary between the Website and vendors of cookies and similar technologies, and allow us to adjust how these technologies interact with the Website. We may use additional tools to de-identify, aggregate, or pseudonymize the data collected through cookies and similar technologies in order to remove personal information.
Separately, your browser may provide options or settings to manage cookies and similar technologies on that browser. You also may choose to use certain third-party browser add-ons or other solutions to adjust your preferences for these technologies. We are not responsible for the functionality or efficacy of opt outs or other settings tools provided by third parties.
As appropriate and where available, the Website may include a cookie preference manager or other method for enabling or disabling certain cookies and similar technologies. This option may be presented to you through a banner or popup on the Website, a link in the footer of the Website, or other notice on the Website. Because our use of cookies and similar technologies varies across the Website, certain pages or parts of the Website may not include this functionality.
In any case, please note that cookie preferences generally need to be set separately for each browser and device you use to access the Website, and that disabling certain technologies may affect your user experience on the Website.
