Information PCHP Collects from You:
Permission-Based Information Collection
Like many other websites, we actively collect information from our visitors by asking specific questions on this website and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via email and contact forms. Some of the information that you submit through this website may be personally identifiable (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, etc.).
Passive Information Collection
As you move through a website, certain information can be passively collected from that site (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most website operators, PCHP tracks Internet Service Provider (ISP) addresses and uses cookies (small data files placed into your computer’s browser files). These cookies are used by our server to automatically identify your browser whenever you visit our websites. We use the cookies to record website statistics. Our system also automatically gathers information about the pages you visit on this website and collects operational information about the technology you use, such as your browser, type of computer, operating system, ISP, etc.

PCHP may contract with vendors to provide services and information relating to this website. We may disclose information to such affiliated third parties that perform services for us in the processing of the site or servicing of transactions requested by you. These vendors are contractually obligated to keep your personal information secure and private. PCHP also will disclose any information that it is required to be disclosed by law or by an appropriate government authority. We do not rent, sell, or exchange personally identifiable information to any third-party organizations.
Email communication that you send to us via email links and/or contact forms on our website will be referred to an internal staff member most able to assist you. We make every effort to respond in a timely fashion when communications are received. If you have an emergency, or think you need to speak to someone urgently, immediately call your doctor or 911. Neither the contact forms, nor any other application available through this website, is a substitute for appropriate and timely contact with your physician.
