Greater Pittsburgh Dental Implants & Periodontics respects the privacy of our customers and are
committed to protecting their information on our Web sites with the same care
we utilize for our own transactions.
Our Electronic Bill Payment and Presentment (EBPP) system
does not automatically collect personal information from visitors to its Web
sites. It is possible that the EBPP system will use tools, such as cookies or
click stream auditing, for our own internal uses, such as recommending products
and services and gathering Web analytics. Cookies are small pieces of
information that a Web site stores on a visitor's Web browser to remind the
site about the visitor the next time they visit the site. We will not store
confidential or sensitive information in cookies. Greater Pittsburgh Dental
Implants & Periodontics will use cookies to enhance our customers'
online bill payment session by making navigation easier and providing important
security features. For certain applications, cookies are a requirement because
they help protect the privacy of a customer's transactions by, for example,
automatically terminating the online session if the customer forgets to log
out.
Cookies cannot be used to capture your e-mail address,
obtain data from your hard drive or gain confidential or sensitive information
about you. Additionally, cookies cannot be read by a Web site other than the
one that set the cookie. Some Web sites, however, use cookies to obtain
information from your browser. In order to prevent this, you can set your
browser to notify you before accepting a cookie, so that you can control
whether you accept or reject a cookie.
Click stream auditing includes information such as a web
surfer's IP address, web pages which have been viewed or acted upon by a web
surfer, date and time, domain type, and when a web surfer has responded to an
advertisement. Greater Pittsburgh Dental Implants & Periodontics may
occasionally combine this information with individual information on an
aggregate level to determine the effectiveness of our advertising.
