HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that appropriate technical and organizational controls are in place to protect it. Any sensitive information is encrypted and protected with SSL. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear in your browser window.
Information you provide to us by email is transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your information:
- Encrypted data transmission and secure server infrastructure
- Access controls limiting who can view your records
- Regular staff training on privacy and security practices
- Secure physical storage and locked file systems
- Regular security audits and compliance reviews
- Incident response procedures for potential breaches
While we employ industry-standard safeguards, no system is completely secure. We continuously update our practices to maintain the highest level of protection.
HOW LONG YOUR INFORMATION IS RETAINED
We retain your medical records and health information as required by New Jersey law and medical board regulations. This data is retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes it was collected for. For example:
- Medical Records: Minimum of seven (7) years from your last visit
- Minor Patients: Until age 18 plus 7 years
- Financial Records: 7 years for tax and audit purposes
- Photographs: Retained as part of your permanent medical record
After the retention period, records are securely destroyed in accordance with HIPAA requirements.
SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA
We do not generally seek to collect Sensitive Personal Data (which is also known in certain jurisdictions as special categories of Personal Data) through the Sources. The term “Sensitive Personal Data” refers to categories of personal data identified by data privacy laws as requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent from you. These categories generally include racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, financial background, religious or similar beliefs, sexual life, trade union membership or affiliations, individual medical records and history, physical, mental or physiological health condition or genetic or biometric information, ideological views or activities, information on social security measures, or administrative or criminal proceedings and sanctions which are treated outside pending proceedings.
If the Company seeks to collect Sensitive Personal Data, we will do so in accordance with applicable law. Unless we have specifically requested such data, however, we ask that you not send to us, nor share with us, any Sensitive Personal Data.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. For that reason, we do not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13. No aspect of the Sources are structured to attract anyone under age 13. If we determine that we have collected information about individuals under the age of 13 (or, in certain jurisdictions, 16) through our Sources, we will delete that information. Where applicable, processing personal data of known children complies with the NJDPA and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).
WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT
In certain jurisdictions, when we process Personal Data based on your consent or your explicit consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent in whole or in part at any time. Where applicable, once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer Process the Personal Data for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented unless there are compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms (for example, to comply with a legal obligation), or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If we processed Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time, in which case we will no longer process your Personal Data for such purposes. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of such processing that occurred before its withdrawal. Should you withdraw consent to future processing of your Personal Data, we may not be able to contact or interact with you as originally planned when you first provided your consent.
CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS
The Company operates on a global basis, and your Personal Data may be transferred, accessed and stored globally as necessary for the uses stated in this Policy, or in another Policy or agreement provided to you. We have taken measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security of Personal Data when it is transferred. By using the Sources (and if required by law), you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence.
It is the Company’s practice to enter into appropriate contracts that require recipients to whom we transfer Personal Data to comply with applicable data protection laws. Where required, we implement standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant regulatory body, including by the European Commission.
YOUR OPTIONS REGARDING RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM THE COMPANY
You have a choice about whether or not you wish to receive information from us. If you do not want to receive direct marketing communications from us, then you can select your choices by ticking the relevant boxes situated on the form used to collect your information.
We’re committed to putting you in control of your data so you’re free to change your marketing preferences (including to tell us that you don’t want to be contacted for marketing purposes) at any time.
We will not use your personal information for marketing purposes if you have indicated that you do not wish to be contacted and will retain your details on a suppression list to help ensure that we do not continue to contact you. However, we may still need to contact you for administrative purposes.
You may have an opportunity to elect to receive recurring informational/promotional email from us. Our email correspondence will include instructions on how to update certain Personal Data and how to unsubscribe from our emails. Please follow the instructions in the emails to opt-out of an email. We will unsubscribe you from that newsletter or other programs within 30 business days.
Also, some of our business partners that collect information about your activity on or through the Sources may be members of organizations or programs that provide you with choices regarding the use of your browsing behavior or mobile application usage for purposes of targeted advertising. You may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance. European users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance by selecting the user’s country and then clicking “Choices” (or similarly-titled link). Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms linked above.
In addition, your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit our, or our partners’ ability to engage in ad tracking or targeted advertising using the advertising ID associated with your mobile device. If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt-out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising participate in these opt-out programs, so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.
Feel free to contact us via any of the methods listed on the Website to discuss your preferences with respect to marketing contacts.

- Except in certain circumstances, delete your personal data that is collected by us.
Any such request by an individual under the CCPA (1) can only be made twice in a 12-month period, (2) will require the collection of certain information by us to verify the identity of such individual, and (3) can be submitted to our Data Privacy Officer listed herein. We will respond to any such request within 45 days after receiving it. The CCPA requires certain additional disclosures that can be found at the CCPA website.
We will not discriminate against any individual for exercising any right made available to such individual under the CCPA.
