Your Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

This website ("Website") is owned and operated by Amend Treatment (“Amend”, "we", "us"). This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we collect, use and disclose personally identifiable information (PII) that we collect from you when you use the Website.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via this website, your information is protected both online and offline and shared on a minimum.

Whenever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Though we make efforts to maintain the security of your personally identifiable information, it is important to remember that the Internet is not a completely secure environment. We recommend that whenever you send sensitive information that you use an encrypted email and a secure, private connection or provide the information by fax or telephone.
