Cookies are small pieces of data placed on your device when browsing a website in order to enable or support certain functions. Web beacons are small files used for counting the number of users who have visited web pages or opened an email or for generating other related website statistics.

Our Website uses cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies, placed by our web host, Wix.com, and by our SEO and advertising partner, Google (Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Ads), for the purpose of improving your experience (such as by remembering certain actions, like if you’ve already seen and closed an announcement bar), analyzing how our services are being accessed and used, and enhancing our Website’s usefulness and reach.

Your use of any third party service or website is at your own risk and governed by the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms of Use/Terms of Service, and any other applicable policies or agreements of each respective third party service or website.

Patient Feedback

We receive written feedback from our patients via patient surveys submitted to us directly in our clinic as well as via patient reviews submitted through public sources such as Yelp and Google Reviews. With patient consent, we may share feedback from our patient surveys, in whole or in part, on our Website and/or social media accounts, for the purpose of marketing and promoting our clinic and services. We may also share reviews from our patients posted on any public Website, in whole or in part, on our own Website and/or social media accounts, for the same purpose of marketing and promoting our clinic and services. We do not share patients’ contact information when sharing their feedback.

Email Subscriptions

If you are subscribed to our email list, you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe link at the end of any regular, automated email from us, or click Manage email preferences to update your email preferences.

Types of Personally Identifiable Information Mountain View Women’s Health May Collect

Personally identifiable information (PII) is information about you that can be used to identify you, either on its own (such as a social security number) or as a necessary complement to other information (such as a physical address paired with a first and last name), that is collected from you online and maintained in an accessible form.

Our Website may collect the following PII, in the following ways, for the purpose(s) given below:

Your first and last name, if you share them with us, when submitting feedback on our pregnancy quiz.
Your first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), billing address, and credit card information, when you make a donation to us via credit card using the donation form embedded on our Website. This information is passed through directly to our payment processor and customer relationship management (CRM) system and is not stored by Wix.com. We collect only the information necessary to process your payment and send you confirmation and receipts through email. Submission of your phone number is optional. If you include your phone number, we may call you to learn more about your interest in Mountain View Women’s Health.
Your IP address, if you visit our Website, via Website analytics cookies used for the purposes described within our Cookie Policy. Note: while Wix.com analytics cookies can retrieve user IP addresses, we do not currently make use of this function, though we reserve the right to do so.

We may collect the following PII via email, in the following ways, for the purpose(s) given below:

Your email address and first and last name, if you send us an email for any reason, such as to ask us a question. We may keep this information for the purpose of replying to you and for keeping track of our correspondence over time.
Other PII as described in other parts of this section of our Privacy Policy, such as any details concerning your medical history, your phone number, or other personal information, in the event that you choose to share it with us via email.

Note: because many email accounts do not use secure, end-to-encryption of data, we recommend sharing any information you regard as sensitive or private through our separate online appointment request system, rather than through email. Any information you send us through email is strictly at your own risk. By sending us PII through email, you assume all liability for any and all kinds of losses or damages you incur in the event that your email message is intercepted or hacked, either in transit or after its receipt, regardless of the source, cause, and target of its interception or hacking.

By emailing us PII, you also consent to the incorporation by us of said PII into our appointment request system as necessary in order to book an appointment for you, maintain your patient and appointment records, and/or fulfill any other obligation or need pertaining to your correspondence with us or to any past, current, or prospective appointment.

Your first and last name, contact information (such as phone number, email address, and physical address), educational and professional history, and any other PII you elect to include within your resume and/or cover letter, if applying to one of our career or volunteer positions.

Please refer to Submission of Feedback within our Terms of Use for additional relevant information.
