Privacy Policy

1. What information this site receives

1. Automatic server logs. Like almost all websites, our server records access logs: IP address, browser and device type, access time, the URL of the page visited, and the referring page. This data is used for troubleshooting, preventing abuse, and estimating traffic volume; it is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

2. Search criteria you voluntarily enter. When using the physician search function, the information you enter—such as zip code, specialty, or search radius—is sent to the server as URL parameters and appears in the aforementioned access logs. This site does not require you to provide your name, medical condition, ID number, or any medical history; please do not enter such information into the search box.

3. Content you voluntarily send to us. If you contact us via email, a directory listing application, or an information correction request, we receive the content you provide (e.g., name, email address, clinic details). This information is used solely to respond to you and maintain the directory; it is not used for any other purpose.

2. What this site does not do

• Does not sell or rent your personal information, nor provide it to third parties in exchange for any form of compensation.
• Does not create accounts or require registration; therefore, no passwords are stored.
• Does not use third-party traffic statistics or behavior analysis tools, and does not create cross-site user profiles.
• Does not collect health information. This site is not a medical institution; it does not receive or store medical records, test results, or diagnostic information.
• We will not disclose the contact information you send us to third parties unless required by law or valid legal process.

III. Cookies and Third-Party Advertising

This site displays advertisements via Google AdSense, which helps cover the costs of maintaining the website.

• As a third-party advertising provider, Google uses cookies to serve ads on this site.
• Google uses advertising cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other websites.
• You can disable personalized advertising in your Google Ad Settings.
• You can also opt out of cookies from multiple third-party advertising providers at once via aboutads.info or the NAI opt-out page.
• Disabling personalized advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads; it simply means they will no longer be targeted based on your browsing interests.

For details on how Google uses data on partner sites, please refer to Google's relevant policy page.

IV. Visitors from the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland

If you access this site from the regions mentioned above, we will seek your consent via a consent management tool before displaying personalized advertisements. You may decline consent or change your preferences at any time using that tool. Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data; the right to restrict or object to data processing; and the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country.

V. Rights of California Residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA, as amended by the CPRA), California residents have the right to know what personal information this site collects, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information.

This site does not sell personal information. However, please note that under the CCPA's broad definition, providing cookie identifiers to advertisers for targeted advertising purposes may be considered "sharing." You may exercise your right to opt out by disabling personalized advertising via any of the links in Section III above, or by contacting us directly via email. Exercising these rights will not result in discriminatory treatment.

VI. Children's Privacy

This site is intended for adult readers; it is not directed at children under the age of 13, nor does it knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete it.

VII. Information Security and Retention

This site utilizes HTTPS encryption for all data transmission. Server logs are retained and rotated according to the hosting provider's standard schedule; emails and directory information you voluntarily submit are retained only as long as necessary. Please note that no method of online transmission or storage is absolutely secure.

VIII. External Links

This site contains links to third-party websites—such as government agencies, insurance companies, hospitals, and professional organizations—and lists contact information for doctors and clinics. These links are provided for convenience only and do not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by this site. Once you leave this site, the privacy policies of the destination websites apply; this site is not responsible for their content or practices.
