This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use your Personal Information when you visit our website at www.thrivechiromt.com or otherwise use the website as described further in the Terms of Service, and that you may provide in electronic messages to Thrive Chiropractic.

Please read this Privacy Policy to understand our policies and practices regarding your Personal Information and how we will handle it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the website.  By accessing or using the website, you agree and consent to this Privacy Policy.

Thrive Chiropractic may change this Privacy Policy at any time, at its discretion. Your continued use of the website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of and consent to those changes, so please check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

2. The Types of Information That Thrive Chiropractic  Collects About You and How Thrive Chiropractic Collects Information About You

Thrive Chiropractic may collect two types of information from you when you visit the website: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information (collectively “Information”).

·   “Personal Information” refers to data by which you may be personally identified, such as name, email address, employer, job title and department, and telephone number.

·   “Non-Personal Information” means data that is about you, but does not identify you specifically.

We collect Information:

·   Directly from you when you provide it to us.  When you subscribe to a newsletter, create an account, make a purchase or request information from Thrive Chiropractic, we will ask for things like your name, contact, billing, shipping and communication information, and account ID or credentials in order to fulfill your request. If you set up an appointment with us through the website, attend a trade show or event, or otherwise contact us, you may also voluntarily provide similar information.  If you submit any Personal Information about other people to us or to our service providers, you are responsible for making sure that you have the authority to do so and to allow us to use their Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy (for example, by You asking for their consent).

·   From third parties. We obtain information through partners, vendors, suppliers and other third parties.  The parties from whom we obtain information are typically corporate enterprises (although some may also be educational or public enterprises) and they may be located in any of the locations in which we do business.  These enterprises largely fall into the following categories: Advertising and marketing companies, data set and information vendors, public database providers, social media websites, partners, providers of products or services, hosts or vendors at events or trade shows, research partners, or enterprises that use Thrive Chiropractic Services.  We take steps to confirm that information we receive from these third parties has been collected with your consent or that these parties are otherwise legally permitted to disclose your Personal Information to us.  We might also obtain information through a partner, or co-create datasets with a partner, as part of our business operations.  This kind of data is used for work like improving the website and other Thrive Chiropractic Services, enhancing existing products and developing new capabilities and features.  In some cases we combine Personal Information about individuals that we receive from multiple sources, including directly collected from you or through your use of the website.

·   Automatically as you navigate through the website or during the time in which you utilize our Services. We collect information about how you interact with the website through the use of cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies.  

3. How Thrive Chiropractic Uses Personal Information It Collects About You and the Purposes for the Collection and Use

We use Personal Information that we collect about you or that you provide to us for the following purposes:

·   For Functionality and Development of the Thrive Chiropractic Services. We use information to provide, offer, and personalize communications and other Thrive Chiropractic Services provided to you.    We use cookies to make our websites and the software operate, work more efficiently, and provide analytic information.  Technologies similar to cookies, such as pixel tags are also used in connection with the website. For more information on our use of cookies, please read our Cookies Policy.

·   For Business Operations. We use information to operate our business; for example, to perform accounting, auditing, billing, reconciliation, and collection activities. Other business purposes that depend on use of your Personal Information include crime or fraud monitoring and prevention, protecting our legal rights, and performing contractual obligations.  We also use Personal Information to contact you to advertise, market and sell Thrive Chiropractic  Services in accordance with your communications preferences.

·   To Communicate. We use contact information to send messages; to provide Thrive Chiropractic  Services; to respond to customer service requests; to provide alerts such as security updates or changes in our policies or about subscriptions that are ending; and to send marketing or informational materials like newsletters or white papers, in accordance with your communication preferences.  We occasionally conduct surveys, or do focused research or studies which may require you to voluntarily share Personal Information in order to participate.  These activities typically have additional notices that provide more information about the use of your Personal Information and to which you may be asked to consent.

·   For Advertising and Marketing. We may use Personal Information collected from you, combined with information about what advertisements you viewed and other information we collect, to enable us to provide personalized content and to study the effectiveness of advertising and marketing campaigns.  You may choose whether to allow or deny uses or sharing of your device’s location by changing your device settings, but if you choose to deny such uses or sharing, we may not be able to provide you with certain personalized Thrive Chiropractic  Services and content on the website.

·   For Statistical Purposes to Improve the website. We may compile website statistics into traffic reports, which help Thrive Chiropractic  understand, anticipate, and respond to user needs.  If we learn, for example, of heightened interest in certain aspects of the Thrive Chiropractic website, we are likely to highlight that information on the website home page. This Information helps us create a better overall experience for website users.

RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION: We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements and for other purposes described in this Privacy Policy.  We may retain your Personal Information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.  In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see “YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS” below for further information.  And in some circumstances we will anonymize your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

4. How Thrive Chiropractic Protects Your Information

Our website is designed to provide reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and organizational security measures to protect your Personal Information against risks such as temporary or permanent loss, destruction, and unauthorized or unlawful access, alteration, use or disclosure.  We require our suppliers and vendors to apply similar protections when they access or use Personal Information that we share with them.  Users of the website must also do their part in protecting the data, systems, networks, and service they are utilizing.  No technology, data transmission or system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that your password to any Thrive Chiropractic  account has been compromised), please immediately notify us by contacting us using the instructions in the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section below.

5. When Thrive Chiropractic Shares Your Information

We work through our affiliates to provide the website and other Thrive Chiropractic Services.  We also work with authorized suppliers and business partners.  When we share your Personal Information with these companies, we put in place appropriate measures to limit the use of your information only for legal and authorized purposes that are consistent with this Privacy Policy, as well as appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

We also share information with third parties for advertising and marketing; when required by law or to respond to legal process; to protect our customers; to protect lives; to maintain the security of the website; and to protect our legal rights.  We may disclose Personal Information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy:

·   With Partners. We occasionally have relationships with third parties that are not suppliers or vendors but are working with us to offer certain opportunities such as marketing and similar promotions, to enable joint products or research studies, or to facilitate services on the website.  In these cases, additional terms or Privacy Policies may be provided.  For third parties or uses not described in this Privacy Policy, we share your information only with a lawful basis to do so.

·   For Advertising and Marketing. We share your information with our third-party company partners to prepare and deliver advertising and marketing content, to provide content services and to enable them to provide you with more personalized ads and to study the effectiveness of our campaigns.

You can choose whether to allow or deny uses and/or sharing of your device’s location by changing your device settings, but if you choose to deny such uses or sharing, our partners may not be able to provide you with the applicable website Services and content.
