Web Privacy Policy

|
We respect the right to privacy of all visitors to this Web site. We do not collect
information that would personally identify you unless you choose to provide it. The personal information that
you submit is shared only with those people in the Mayo organization who need this information to respond to
your question or request. Information submitted through this site's online forms may be collected to
ensure technical functionality. It will also be utilized to address any inappropriate use of our Web site. We do
not save personal information to use for other purposes, nor do we provide it to any other organization.
We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable
information that you may provide. You should understand, however, that electronic transmissions via the
Internet are not necessarily secure from interception, and so we cannot absolutely guarantee the security or
confidentiality of such transmissions.
Except for authorized law enforcement investigations or other valid legal processes, we will not share any
personally identifiable information we receive from you with any parties outside of Mayo Clinic.

SURVEYS
We occasionally survey visitors to our site. The information from these surveys is used in aggregate form to
help us understand the needs of our visitors so that we can improve our site. We generally do not ask for
information in surveys that would personally identify you; if we do request contact information for follow-up,
you may decline to provide it. If survey respondents provide personal information (such as an email address)
in a survey, it is shared only with those people who need to see it to respond to the question or request.

IP ADDRESSES
The Web server automatically collects the IP (which stands for Internet Protocol) address of the computers
that access our site. An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you access the
Internet. It is not truly personally identifiable information because many different individuals can access the
Internet via the same computer. We use this information in aggregate form to understand how our site is
being used and how we can better serve visitors.

COOKIES
We collect information about visitors to our site using "cookies." (See definition on Webopedia.) We use
persistent cookies to recognize a repeat visitor and offer the visitor a set of services or information requested
in a previous visit. We use session cookies to track a visitor's path through our site during a visit, to help us
understand how people use our site.
THESE LEGAL NOTICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
