At James Zhang, R. Ac, I am committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how I collect, use, and protect any personal information you provide when using this website, https://sites.google.com/view/torontoacupuncture.
Information I Collect
As this website is built on Google Sites, direct personal information collection is minimal. However, please be aware of the following:
Information You Voluntarily Provide: When you use the contact form, send an email, or call me through the contact information provided on this site, you are voluntarily providing personal details such as your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.
Automatically Collected Information (Google Sites): Google Sites, as a Google product, may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information. This can include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and how you interact with the site (e.g., pages visited, time spent). This data is primarily used to analyze site traffic and improve the website's functionality. I do not have direct access to individual user data from these analytics; rather, I see aggregated, anonymized reports provided by Google.
How I Use Your Information
The personal information you provide directly is used solely for the following purposes:
To respond to your inquiries and schedule appointments.
To communicate with you about your treatment or clinic updates, if you have opted in for such communications.
The automatically collected data helps me understand website traffic patterns, which allows me to improve the website's content and user experience.
How Your Information is Stored and Protected
Directly Provided Information: Any personal information you send via the contact form or email is received and stored securely by me. I use standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Google Sites Data: Information handled by Google Sites is subject to Google's robust security measures and privacy policies. You can review Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Sharing Your Information
I will never sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. Your information will only be shared in the following circumstances:
With Your Consent: If I have your explicit permission to do so.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or governmental regulation.
Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by me. Please be aware that I have no control over the content and practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies. I encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
When you book an appointment through my Square Appointments link or make a payment using Square (either online or in-person), a customer profile is automatically created for you within Square's system. This profile securely stores your contact information (like name, email, phone number) and payment history to facilitate future bookings and transactions. Please note that while Square handles the secure processing and storage of this data, I do not directly access your full payment card details; rather, I access your contact details to manage your appointments and communicate with you. Your interactions with Square are also governed by Square's Privacy Policy, which I encourage you to review.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
Request access to the personal information I hold about you.
Request corrections to any inaccurate personal information.
Withdraw your consent for me to use your personal information (where applicable).
Request the deletion of your personal information, subject to legal obligations.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me directly using the contact information provided on this website.
