Please remember that any information (including personal and medical/dental information) that you reveal in a public forum

use of any information revealed in either manner.
The following make up our Privacy Policy for the OrthoTADS.com Website (the "Site").
Personal Information We Collect
We collect information about you in the following ways:
- Voluntarily Provided Information. When you registered as a user of the Site, you or your authorized agent voluntarily provided information about
you and the Group/Practice on whose behalf you registered. If you completed the registration on behalf of the Group/Practice and its personnel, you
represented to us that you were authorized by the Group/Practice and its personnel to give us consent to use the information included on the enrollment forms.
We will continue to use that information in accordance with the Enrollment Forms, the Terms and Conditions of Use and this Privacy Policy, unless you, the Group/Practice
or the affected individual notifies us to the contrary.
- We also collect other information that you voluntarily provide to use, e.g., through responses to surveys, questionnaires, and the like.
- IP Address. We store the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer when you visit our Site. This information is only used to create broad demographic summaries of where our users come from,
e.g., we know what percentage of users come from Europe or Asia. Our use of the IP addresses, however, does not identify the actual users of the Site.
- Cookies. We may also collect information about you and your use of our Site through the use of Cookies. "Cookies" are small computer files we transfer to your computer's hard drive that allows us to
know how often someone visits our Site and the activities they conduct while on our Site. This information helps us dynamically generate advertising and content on web pages specifically designed for you and
also allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our Site and for what purpose. Sponsors, advertisers, or third parties may also use Cookies when you select their advertisement, content or service;
we cannot control their use of Cookies or how they use the information they gather. If you do not want information collected through Cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept
the Cookie feature. However, Cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features (for example, customized delivery of information) available on the Site.
Disclosure of Your Information to Third Parties
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose to unaffiliated companies any information we gather from you which could be used to identify or contact you ("Personal Information").
Any Personal Information provided to entities affiliated with Under Dog Media, LP, will be treated in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, unless you are otherwise notified. In the following
limited circumstances, we may release Personal Information to third parties: (1) to comply with applicable legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, discovery request, or court order;
(2) in special cases, such as a physical threat to you or others. We also provide Personal Information to our vendors and suppliers (collectively, "Vendors") when it is necessary for them to provide us with products and
services related to the better operation and maintenance of our Site. We will attempt to require that each of these Vendors not further use or disclose your Personal Information for any purpose other than providing us or
you with products and services. Of course, we cannot guarantee their compliance with these restrictions.
How We Handle Your Personal Information Internally
Security. Your information is stored on the Under Dog Media, LP, OrthoTADS.com Site server located in the United States. We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft
as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy, including encryption, "firewalls" and Secure Socket Layers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ
many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.
Use. We may use your registration information and other voluntarily submitted information, including Personal Information, in the following ways:
- To enable us to process and verify subscriptions;
- To enable us to verify user credentials in order to maintain reasonable security;
- To provide our editors with information that is useful in developing new features and services for our users;
