The privacy of our website users is important to the Colorado Comprehensive Spine Institute (CCSI). We understand that visitors to our website need to be in control of their personal information.

Therefore, the following is CCSI's Internet Privacy Policy:

You do not have to give us personal information to visit our sites. If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still visit our website.

Computer Cookies

• What is a cookie?
  A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser -- along with a Web page -- when you access a Web site. There are two kinds of cookies. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer's memory. Because a session cookie is never written to a drive, it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie is a more permanent line of text that gets saved by your browser to a file on your hard drive.
  
  CCSI uses session cookies only, to enhance the usability of our website. Regardless of the particular uses for cookies on CCSI web sites, we will not share any cookie information with any third parties

Data Collection

• We may collect personally identifiable information (name, e-mail address, physical address, and other unique identifiers) only if specifically and knowingly provided by you.
• Personally identifying information collected will be used only in connection with our website, or for such purposes as are described at the point of collection.
• Information collected is for statistical purposes only. CCSI performs analyses of user behavior in order to measure customer interest in the various areas of our sites. CCSI also uses listservs to send out information and change notices to subscribed users of our sites.
• CCSI will use its best efforts to protect the personal information that you share with us. CCSI does not disclose, give, sell, or transfer any personal information to third parties without written permission. If we share demographic information with third parties, we will give them aggregate information only.

E-Mail

• While CCSI will make every attempt to protect the personal information that you share with us, electronic mail is not secure against interception. If your communication is very sensitive, you may want to send it by postal mail instead.
