Privacy Policy
We recognize that you may be concerned about our use and disclosure of
your personal information. Your privacy is very important to us, and the
following will inform you of the information that we, Valley Presbyterian
Hospital, may collect from you when you use this Website, and how it is
used. By using our Website, www.valleypres.org, you are accepting the
practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collection
We may collect information such as a domain name and IP Address. The domain
name and IP address reveals nothing about you other than the IP address
from which you have accessed our site. We may also collect information
about the type of Internet browser you are using, operating system, what
brought you to our Website, as well as which of our Web pages you have accessed.
Additionally, if you communicate with us regarding our Website or our services,
we will collect any information that you provide to us in any such communication.
We may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials,
new products or services, or changes to this Privacy Policy.
Information Use
We use the collected information primarily for our own internal purposes,
such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving our services
and Website, fulfilling requests for information, and providing customer support.
Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information
submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
If we collect Personal Information, that information is encrypted and transmitted
to us in a secure way. “Personal Information” as used in this
Privacy Policy, means any information that identifies, relates to, describes,
or is capable of being associated with you, such as your name, signature,
social security number, passport number, driver’s license or state
identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment
history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number or
any financial information but does not include your domain name, IP Address,
or the type of Internet browser or operating system you are using. You
can verify that information you are submitting to us is encrypted by looking
for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for
"https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online,
we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer
service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The
computers/servers in which we store Personal Information are kept in a
secure environment.
Cookies
We use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored
on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our
site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use
a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more
than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable
us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our site. Use of a cookie is in no way linked to any Personal Information
on our site.
Sharing
We will not sell or otherwise provide the information we collect to outside
third parties for the purpose of direct or indirect mass email marketing.
We will disclose Personal Information and/or an IP address, when required
by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and
conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
our company
- Protect and defend the rights or property of our Website and related properties
- Identify persons who may be violating the law, the rights of third parties,
or otherwise misusing our Website or its related properties
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose Personal Information
online - for example through e-mail, discussion boards, or elsewhere -
that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you
post Personal Information online that is accessible to the public, you
may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
You too are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your Personal Information.
Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

This Website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we
are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and
to read the privacy statements of any other site, especially regarding
how any other site collects Personal Information.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site may request information via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary, and
you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose information
through your responses to a survey. Information requested in a survey
may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
other demographic information (such as zip code and age). Contact information
will be used to notify winners and award prizes. Survey information will
be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site.
