PRIVACY
POLICY
Peyronie’s Disease Institute respects your privacy and
is committed to protect the personal information you may
share with us. Generally, you can browse through our website
without giving us any information about yourself. When we do
need your personal information to provide services that you
request or when you choose to provide us with your personal
information, this policy describes how we collect and use your
personal information.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information that may be used to
identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first
and last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical
address, contact information, title, birth date, verification
of diagnosis if appropriate to the circumstances, or other
information when needed to provide a service you requested.
When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you
have previously indicated that you wish Peyronie’s Disease
Institute to remember your login and password. We don't
automatically collect personal information, including your
email address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address
of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our
website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not
link your IP address to any personal information unless you
have logged in to our website. Like many other commercial
websites, the Peyronie’s Disease Institute website may use a
standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information
about how you use the site.
Peyronie’s Disease Institute collects personal information
when you register with us to use or purchase certain
Peyronie’s Disease Institute products or services, when you
ask to be included in an email or other mailing list. From
time to time, Peyronie’s Disease Institute receives personal
information from business partners and vendors. Peyronie’s
Disease Institute only uses such information if it has been
collected in accordance with acceptable privacy practices
consistent with this Policy and applicable laws.
Access to certain Peyronie’s Disease Institute web pages may
or may not require a login and a password. Unless you request
deletion of your personal information as specified below, your
personal information may be retained by Peyronie’s Disease
Institute to verify compliance with the agreement, or track
usage of other applications available on those pages.
Notice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you at
the point of collection, the purpose for the collection.
Peyronie’s Disease Institute will not transfer
your personal information to third parties without your
consent.
If you choose to provide us with your personal information, we
may only transfer that information, within Peyronie’s Disease
Institute or to Peyronie’s Disease Institute's third party
service providers, with your permission. Only upon receiving
your permission, we may transfer your information.
We will always give you the opportunity to "opt out" of
receiving direct marketing or market research information.
This means we assume you have given us your consent to collect
and use your information in accordance with this Policy unless
you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not
consent, for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate
option or box at the point of collection. In some cases, when
applicable, we will provide you with the opportunity to "opt
in." This means, we will require your affirmative action to
indicate your consent before we use your information for
purposes other than the purpose for which it was submitted.
Cookies and Tracking Technology
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to
your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain
information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the
pages you've visited, but the only personal information a
cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A
cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files
created by other sites. Some parts of Peyronie’s Disease
Institute's website use cookies to track user traffic
patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of
our website information to our users and to see how effective
our navigational structure is in helping users reach that
information.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our
website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting
cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to
its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them
off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full
advantage of Peyronie’s Disease Institute's website if you do
so. In particular, you may be required to accept cookies in
order to complete certain actions on our website. You do not
need to have cookies turned on, however, to use/navigate
through many parts of our website, except access to certain of
Peyronie’s Disease Institute's web pages may require a login
and password.
How We Use Information Collected
Peyronie’s Disease Institute uses information for several
general purposes: to fulfill your requests for certain
products and services, to personalize your experience on our
website, to keep you up to date on the latest product
information and usage, or other information we think you'd
like to hear about either from us, and to better understand
your needs and provide you with better services.
Ability to Review and Delete Your Account and Information
You may request deletion of your Peyronie’s Disease Institute
account or any of your personal information held by us by
sending an email to
info@peyronies-disease-help.com.
Data Security
Your Peyronie’s Disease Institute account information is
password-protected for your privacy and security. Peyronie’s
Disease Institute safeguards the security of the data you send
us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. In
certain areas of our websites, Peyronie’s Disease Institute
uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to enhance the security
of data transmissions. While we strive to protect your
personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the
information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take
every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on
the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination
of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure
browser.
Children and Privacy
Our websites do not target and are not intended to attract
children under the age of 18. Peyronie’s Disease Institute
does not knowingly solicit personal information from children
under the age of 18 or knowingly participate in any way with
children under the age of 18.
Third Party Sites
Peyronie’s Disease Institute's website contains links to other
sites. Peyronie’s Disease Institute does not share your
personal information with those websites and is not
responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to
learn about the privacy policies of those companies.
Our website may contain links to websites operated by other
companies. Some of these third-party sites may be co-branded
with a Peyronie’s Disease Institute logo, even though they are
not operated or maintained by Peyronie’s Disease Institute.
Although we choose our business partners carefully, Peyronie’s
Disease Institute is not responsible for the privacy practices
of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our
site. Once you have left our website, you should check the
applicable privacy policy of the third party website to
determine how they will handle any information they collect
from you.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Peyronie’s Disease Institute will amend this policy from time
to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use
your personal information, we will make that information
available by posting a notice on this site.

or disclosure of your personal information, please email us at
