Our privacy policy...
Dr. Stephen J. Banko is committed to protecting our visitor's personal information.
Privacy Policy
Under no circumstances do we sell or rent this information to other businesses, and we strictly protect and enforce the confidentiality of this information. We respect your privacy and seek to protect the trust you place in Dr. Banko. Our Privacy Policy is explained in more detail below.
1. What information does Dr. Stephen Banko collect from our online visitors?
For those individuals who visit our site, we collect and store IP ("Internet
Protocol") addresses during the visit. No individualized information is
collected, and the IP address is not traced to a particular individual. Similarly,
we collect information, using that IP address, about the navigational or browsing
activities of our visitors. Again, that information is not tied to any name
or other personally identifying information but is used solely to provide generalized
demographic data, such as what geographic areas our visitors are from and visitor
browsing patterns. We cannot use that data to identify you. For those who make
contact with Dr. Stephen Banko, we collect and store your name, address and
email address information.
2. Does Dr. Stephen Banko use "cookies"?
" Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your
browser on your computer's hard drive. Most web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent such acceptance.
We do not retain any individualized information as a result of our use of cookies.
3. How do we use the individualized information that we collect?
We also retain your name, address and email address information in our visitor
database. We use that information to respond to your inquiries and questions.
We also may use that information, from time to time, to contact you. We try
to limit those contacts to ones that might be of interest to you. If you would
prefer not to be contacted, please notify us at the email address provided below:
4. How is the information Dr. Stephen Banko collects
stored and what security procedures do we have in place
to protect the confidentiality of that information?
Currently, the customer information that we maintain is stored in our contact
database. We limit access to that information to those with a business need
to know. As stated above, we do not under any circumstances sell or rent customer
information to any outside company or organization.
In fact, we will release specific information about you only if we are compelled to do so to comply with valid legal processes such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order or in the unlikely situation where we, in good faith, believe such information is necessary to prevent harm to you or others.
5. Will Dr. Stephen Banko privacy policy change?
We may change or enhance our policy to improve our service to you. If we do
change our policy, we will note those changes on our Web site. A message
will be displayed on our home page for a period of time that a change has
been made, and the change will be highlighted within the privacy policy.
You are welcome to refer to this policy each time you are considering making
a purchase.
