During your visit to PGS’s website, please remember that the medical and health information presented here is intended to be general and should not be considered a substitute for professional advice. We strongly advise consulting with a healthcare professional for all matters concerning personal medical and health care issues.

Security and Confidentiality

While we prioritize your privacy and employ a variety of physical, electronic, and administrative measures to safeguard the security, confidentiality, and integrity of information submitted through our website, it is essential to acknowledge that no transmission of data over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be entirely secure.

Log Files

PsychoGeriatric Services follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and are a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any personally identifiable information. The information aims to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements on the website, and gather demographic information. Our Privacy Policy was created with the help of the Privacy Policy Generator.

Personal Information and Storage

PGS refrains from gathering information that can personally identify you unless you willingly provide it (e.g., registering for a class, completing an online job application, or sending an email). The personal data you share is only accessible to relevant individuals at PGS who require this information to address your queries or requests, and it may also be used as permitted by law to support PGS’s business operations or comply with applicable laws.

As defined in this Privacy Statement, personal information does not encompass data protected under HIPAA or relevant state laws, which is safeguarded as described in the section “Health and Medical Information” above.
