Privacy Policy

Why A Privacy Policy?
Accelerated Community Oncology Network, Inc. (ACORN) respects your individual privacy. This Privacy Policy ('Policy') embodies our commitment to its protection through adherence to fair electronic information practices. You have our promise that we will not electronically process your personal information in any way that is incompatible with this Policy. We collect no personal information about you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide that information to us.

We will not sell, rent, or otherwise distribute your name and any personally identifiable information outside of ACORN and our agents.

Here is how we handle information about your visit to our website.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically
We collect the IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our Web site; the date and time you access our site and the pages you visit. We also use information in aggregate form to track the total number of visitors to our site and the number of visitors to each page of our site.

No other personally identifiable information is available in this process.

Information Protection
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this company computer system employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. If such monitoring reveals evidence of possible abuse or criminal activity, such evidence may be provided to appropriate law enforcement officials. Unauthorized attempts to upload or change information on this server are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act or other law.

Information That You Voluntarily Provide
We do not collect personally-identifiable information unless you choose to provide it to us. If you provide us with personally identifiable information, for example by sending an e-mail or by filling out a form and submitting it through our website, we use that information only to respond to your message and to help us provide you with the information and services that you request.

Submitting voluntary information constitutes your consent to the use of the information for the stated purpose. When a user clicks the "Submit" button on any of the web forms found on our site they are indicating voluntary consent to use of the information they submit for the stated purpose. We do not collect or use information for commercial marketing.

How Information is Used
The information we collect is used for a variety of purposes (e.g., to respond to requests for information about our regulations and policies, voluntary participation in online surveys, newsletter requests, and to fill orders). We make every effort to disclose clearly how information is used at the point where it is collected so that our users can determine for themselves whether they wish to provide the information.

Sharing of Information
Before you submit personally identifiable information, such as on an online form, you will be advised as to the purpose and how the information will be used or shared.

Retention of Information
We destroy the information we collect when the purpose for which it was provided has been fulfilled unless we are required to keep it longer by statute or official policy.

This site may have links to the websites of other related entities. There may be links to private organizations, with their permission. Once you go to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site. It is always a good idea to read the Privacy Policy of any website that you visit.
