Privacy Policy
The Cleveland Clinic is very interested in the privacy and safety of our visitors. The Heart Center Web site
contains forms through which users may request information or supply feedback to us. In some cases, telephone
numbers or return addresses are required so that we can supply requested information to you. We may also track
where you go or what you read in our Web site so that we can supply you with effective follow up information, but
only if you have given us explicit permission to do so by filling out a form that asks you if we may do so. After
you fill out a form, we might contact you ourselves with follow-up information, but we do not provide any information
supplied on Web form to any outside organization for any reason (other than where we may be required to by law, or as
necessary to process credit card information). We also do typical web traffic analyses through which we track statistics
such as which pages are visited in what order, where users come from, and how long users spend on our site. But we never
associate such information with specific identities. Please note that our forms are NOT encrypted unless otherwise noted.
Therefore information you send to us may be read by people who are actively snooping on Internet traffic. But once the
information is sent to our site, it is kept in secure databases where it is not available to users on the Internet.
Please also understand that while we are very interested in providing relevant personal healthcare information to patients
and/or their physicians, we will not make such information available online until we are very confident that the information
is secure. If you have any questions about our privacy policy or our use of information gathered through our Web site, please
contact our Webmaster at webmaster@ccf.org
