Personal Information Provided by You
At this time, ING does not automatically collect any personally identifiable information from any of its websites. We obtain personally identifiable information about you ONLY if you choose to give us this information. For example, if you send us an email or complete an online information form, either now or at some future time, and send that to us electronically, we will use the information you send only for the intended purposes identified on the form or within the body of your message.

Use of Personal Information
If you provide personally identifiable information, ING may use that information in one or more of the following ways:

  • ING may allow access to personally identifiable information by certain third parties that provide technical (or other) services (for example, credit card processing services). However, third parties retained by ING to provide such services are obligated by applicable Business Associate agreements with ING to maintain the confidentiality of this information as we describe and are not authorized to use this information for any purpose other than providing those contracted services.
  • ING may use your name and postal address to send you information advising you of our announcements from our group, such as new physicians, new office locations, or other information that we believe may be of interest to you.
  • ING may use personally identifiable information for internal purposes, such as tracking demographic data to make this Web site more useful to our visitors.
  • ING will disclose personally identifiable information if required by law to do so.
  • Except as identified above, ING will not make your name and postal address available to any other organization.

Applicability of Policy
This Privacy Policy applies only to the ING websites identified in the first paragraph above. Please note that our Web site contains links to other websites that are not under our direct control. ING is not responsible for the content of any linked website, any changes or updates to such websites, or the privacy policies of such websites. Further, the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by ING of that Web site.

Compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996
ING is presently developing additional Privacy Policies and a Notice of Privacy Policies in anticipation of compliance with the final, federal HIPAA Privacy Rule which will be fully enforceable on April 14, 2003.
