Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy and towards that purpose,
maintain our web sites by the following principles:
You do not need to disclose
personal information to use AsianMD.com.ph. No such information is
obtained about you unless you choose to submit it to us. For
example, if you email us your comments, that identifies your email
address. If you request an appointment with a physician, a limited
number of clinic administrators will see this information and use
it to arrange care where appropriate. Individuals who access this
information do so as a part of their specific job responsibility
and do so only for the purposes of treatment, payment or health
care operations.
We have made reasonable efforts
to ensure that the information you may provide is confidential and
not personally identifiable. You should understand, however, that
we cannot guarantee that electronic transmissions via the internet
are 100% secure from interception, and thus cannot guarantee the
security and confidentiality of this information.
The web servers used by the
AsianMD.com.ph,
www.domains.ph, collects and saves the default information
customarily logged by World Wide Web server software. Our logs
contain the following information for each request: date and time,
originating IP address and domain name (the unique address
assigned to your internet service provider's computer that
connects to the internet), object requested (meaning which pages
were viewed), and completion status of the request (how many total
pages were viewed). We use these logs to help improve our service
by evaluating the "traffic" to our site in terms of number of
unique visitors, level of demand, most popular page requests, and
types of errors. These logs may be kept for an indefinite amount
of time, used at any time and in any way necessary to prevent
security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the data on our
servers.
Except for authorized law
enforcement investigations or other facially valid legal
processes, we will not share any information we receive with any
parties outside of AsianMD.com.ph or its affiliated organizations.
