Respect for your privacy is of the utmost importance to Ovo Fertility Inc. and Clinique Ovo Inc., operating as Clinique Ovo (“Clinique Ovo”).
This privacy policy describes how personal information is collected, used, and processed and disclosed in connection with use of Clinique Ovo’s website. It takes into account the requirements of the applicable privacy laws of the Government of Quebec. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, when we refer to “we”, “us” or “our”, we mean Clinique Ovo. This Privacy Policy is to be read with the website ‘Terms & Conditions’.
1. PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information is any information that can be used to distinguish, identify or contact a specific individual. This information can include an individual’s opinions or beliefs, as well as facts about, or related to, the individual. Business contact information and certain publicly available information, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers as published in telephone directories, are not considered personal information.
2. PRIVACY PRACTICES
The type of personal information we collect will depend on your relationship with Clinique Ovo and the nature of the services or information you request from us. If you become a patient of Clinique Ovo, additional personal information may be collected from you, which will be governed by a separate patient privacy policy.
As most websites do, we use automatic data collection technologies to track usage patterns on our website. This includes recording the internet service provider, IP address, date and time of visit, pages visited, any documents downloaded, searches performed, and any referring URLs for each visit to our website. We use this information to optimize our website service.
We may collect other information that you choose to provide to us, or that we collect with your consent or as permitted or required by law.
We use personal information to provide our services and operate our business, including the provision of this website.
For your convenience, we may offer links to third-party sites (“Linked Sites”). However, Clinique Ovo is not responsible for, nor do we accept any liability for, the personal information collection, use, and disclosure practices and privacy practices of these Linked Sites and their related entities. You should consult the privacy policies of these other entities prior to providing any personal information on their websites.
Anyone from whom we collect information can expect that it will be carefully protected and that any use of this information is subject to any required consent being received. We have implemented reasonable physical, technological and administrative security measures designed to protect the personal information in our control against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. Please note, however, that while we believe our security measures are appropriate, no security measures can guarantee absolute security of information.
Safeguards are in place to ensure that the information is not accessed, disclosed or shared more widely than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was gathered. We also take measures to ensure the integrity of this information is maintained and to prevent it being lost or destroyed.
You can generally visit the Clinique Ovo website without providing any personal information. You have the option to request an appointment or to contact Clinique Ovo using a contact form on the Clinique Ovo website. In doing so and providing your personal information, you consent to Clinique Ovo using the personal information you provided for the purposes of contacting you.
