Privacy Policy

The HUSHP website intends to provide general information about HUSHP, its services, and practice locations. HUSHP intends to keep the information on the website as current as possible but does not guarantee its accuracy, timeliness, and completeness and any other warranty, express or implied.

The HUSHP website is not intended to provide medical advice or medical treatment. Please consult a healthcare provider for treatment or to answer your medical questions.

The HUSHP website collects information about your computer hardware and software, such as your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. HUSHP uses this information for the operation of the website, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the HUSHP website.

The HUSHP website collects and uses some personal information to operate. For example, if you submit an inquiry through a web form on the contact us page, you may be asked to include your name and/or email address so we can reach you to resolve your comment.

The website does not sell, rent, or lease visitor information to third parties. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to the HUSHP website, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

The HUSHP website will only disclose your personal information without notice if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a.) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the HUSHP website; (b.) protect and defend the rights or property of the HUSHP website; and, (c.) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the HUSHP website, or the public.

Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer (unless you block them). We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer relevant tools and a better user experience in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline them if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the HUSHP website.

Cookies may be set by an organization other than Harvard.edu. These “third-party cookies” may, for example, originate from websites such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Google Analytics, or other services for which HUSHP has implemented “plug-ins.” Since the cookie policies of these sites change over time, you should determine their policies by visiting the privacy policy pages of these sites directly.

The HUSHP website secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The website secures personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

The HUSHP website may provide links to some external, non-HUSHP websites for your convenience. HUSHP is not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or content of any non-HUSHP sites, nor does HUSHP endorse them.

HUSHP encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from the HUSHP website so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. HUSHP is not responsible for privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the HUSHP website.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we change the Policy, we will post the modified text on this page.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this site, contact the Harvard University Health Services Webmaster at webmaster@huhs.harvard.edu.
