In order to deliver personalized and relevant information to you through our site, we collect certain information from users.  Please do not provide any sensitive information or health information.  In operating this site, we may collect and process the following data about you:

SurgeonCheck stores personal client and prospective client information in its databases in order to provide our services to you in the best possible manner.  In addition, we may use this information (a) to provide you with information relating to our services, (b) to monitor and conduct an analysis of site traffic and usage patterns, (c) to analyze trends, (d) to distribute reports, (e) to respond to clients’ inquiries, (f) to resolve problems, (g) to offer new services, (h) to fulfill other purposes permitted or required by law, or (i) for other uses disclosed to you, with your consent.  We may retain your information after you stop using SurgeonCheck’s services or otherwise interacting with us.

Under California law, certain California residents have rights to request specific information about the personal information we collect and/or share about them. These rights are available to California residents who are clients of SurgeonCheck, prospective clients, and/or site visitors or certain other business contacts who share personal information with SurgeonCheck.

Site visitors, prospective clients, and clients may ask for information about the information collected about them.  If you have provided personal information to SurgeonCheck, you can request:

You may also request that SurgeonCheck delete the personal information it holds about you.  However, requests to delete data are subject to various limitations by statute and SurgeonCheck may retain certain data as permitted by law.

Data requests can be made by e-mailing connect@surgeoncheck.com.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or the requestor’s authority to make the request.  An authorized agent may request information on your behalf if they provide evidence of their legal authority to submit such requests.

Verifying your identity is required before we respond to your request.  To verify your identity, we will collect basic personal information about you to match with our records.  Next, you will receive an e-mail confirmation that your request was received, as well as information about additional steps that may be required to confirm your identity and verify appropriate contact information.  You may make data requests no more than twice in a 12-month period.

We will try to respond to verifiable requests within 45 days.  If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in a written response.  We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your request.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under California law.
