You can provide your personal information to us on our website through various means, such as contacting us through our website or filling out forms electronically. When submitting a contact form or an insurance verification form on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, e-mail address, phone number or social security number. You may, however, also visit our site anonymously.

When you visit our Website, we may automatically collect certain personal information, including your IP address, the date and time you accessed our Website, the hardware, software or internet browser you use and information about our computer’s operating system. We might also collect information about clicks, which pages you have been browsing, and any information you provide us in connection with requesting or reviewing the Services. If you provide personal information about other individuals, you must first obtain their consent. By providing us with personal information of a third party, you hereby represent that you have provided notice to that third party and have obtained his or her consent, to the extent such consent may be validly obtained. You must provide only accurate information, and refrain from providing information that is not necessary or requested.

DO WE USE COOKIES? INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser, if you allow, that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

We use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools 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. We utilize plug-ins to improve our website functionality and performance for a better user experience. Some of these plug-ins use the Stackpath Content Delivery Network (CDN). Stackpath may store web log information of site visitors, including IPs, UA, referrer, Location and ISP info of site visitors for 7 days.

You can set your browser to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. You can also reset your browser, or enable a private browsing mode, to refuse all cookies. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.

We have enabled the Google Analytics cookie that allows us to better understand who our users are. When your browser allows, this cookie collects and reports back any demographic and interests information available in the cookie. The data collected can include, but not limited to, age, gender, and interest categories. Not all users may have demographics associated with them, so these reports may only represent a subset of users

and may not be representative of the overall site composition.

We do not identify users or facilitate the merging of personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information collected through any Google advertising product, third-party cookie or feature unless we have received robust notice of, and the user’s prior affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent to, that identification or merger.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to third parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include our affiliates or trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.

If the Company is sold to or merges with another company not owned by us, you should expect that some or all of your personal information may be transferred, sold to, or assigned to the buyer/surviving company. If so, we will obligate the acquiring company to use any personal information in a manner consistent with this Policy, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to impose that requirement or that the acquiring company will comply.

We may use or disclose your personal information to another party when we believe, in good faith, that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to meet an applicable law, regulation, subpoena, legal process, audits, or enforceable government request. We reserve the right to disclose your information when required to do so by law, or as needed to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

OPT-IN AGREEMENT

By entering and submitting your telephone number, you authorize AG Behavioral Services (or its agents), to make telemarketing calls and send marketing text messages to the telephone number entered including the use of an automatic telephone dialing system. Entering and submitting your telephone number and agreeing to this consent is not a condition of purchasing services through us. If you do not wish to receive sales or marketing calls or texts from us, you should not submit your number. You understand that your mobile phone service provider may charge you fees for calls made or texts sent to you, and you agree that we will have no liability for the cost of any such calls or texts. At any time, you may withdraw your consent to receive marketing calls and text messages by contacting us. Alternatively, to stop marketing text messages, simply reply “STOP” to any marketing text message that we send you.

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information.

We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Database to be only accessed by those authorized with special access rights to our systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be kept on file for more than 60 days.

Please note that emails you send to us through our website are not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means. In the event that there is a security breach of any of our users’ personal information, we will immediately notify users of such and will work quickly to cure the breach. You should use caution whenever submitting personal information through email or the Website and take special care in deciding which information you provide us.
