Email Communication and Website Usage
Email communication will be initiated by you when you contact us either through our email address or any of our online forms. All email communications are directed to the mailbox of our genetic counseling staff. Your email address will only be used by the genetics staff to contact you regarding a request you have made. We do not sell email addresses, nor will we contact you for any other reasons unless you have made a specific request.
Every time you visit a Ferre Institute web site, our servers automatically recognize your ISP domain name, but not your email address. This means our servers can identify "where" you're from, but not "who" you are. We may compile aggregate statistics about Web site visitors, traffic patterns and related site information, but these statistics include no personally identifiable information. We also do not use cookies on our site. Once you have used a link on our site to go to another site you should view their privacy policy in regards to their use of cookies; we cannot vouch for their use of cookies and in particular the placement of any third party tracking cookies by sponsors, advertisers or other parties.

We provide medical information on our site and offer a free service providing tailored information to consumers and health care providers who initiate contact through our online contact form.

We provide medical information, not medical advice. We ensure the content on our site is accurate. Content is created by our medical staff and also provided through the medical and professional community. All content is sited and links to content published elsewhere are provided for citations of non-staff members. A link to another site does not imply approval or endorsement of material on that site.
