The personal information that Assension Health collects is solely used for purposes outlined in this policy and in compliance with applicable U.S. privacy laws. Personal details may be used to provide customer support, respond to queries, send service-related announcements, deliver informational updates, and process user-submitted content or requests. We may also use your information to improve our website, conduct internal research, analyze site usage, and optimize user-facing features. Personal details are processed only by authorized personnel who are bound by confidentiality obligations. We use industry-standard security practices and protocols to protect all personal data in our possession, including secure transmission and storage mechanisms. We do not use your personal data for profiling or automated decision-making processes. We will not sell, lease, or distribute your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Your information may only be disclosed to law enforcement authorities if required to comply with applicable regulations or lawful requests.
Third-Party Services
Assension Health may employ third-party partners to facilitate certain operations such as analytics, server hosting, technical support, or communications. These third-party service providers may access limited personal data strictly for the purpose of performing designated tasks on our behalf, and they are contractually obligated to comply with strict confidentiality and security measures. We ensure that all external vendors handling data on our behalf provide adequate safeguards in accordance with U.S. data privacy standards. Our website may also contain links to third-party resources or content; however, the privacy practices for external websites are not governed by this policy, and we strongly encourage users to review their respective privacy policies before providing any personal information externally. Assension Health is not responsible for any privacy practices or content managed by parties unrelated to our business operations.
Data Security
Data security is paramount at Assension Health, and we implement a vast array of technological and administrative safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We employ secure servers, firewalls, and encryption technologies in the storage and transmission of sensitive information. Our data protection practices are routinely monitored and updated to comply with evolving industry standards and regulatory obligations under U.S. law. Only trusted personnel with a legitimate need are granted access to personal user data, and all staff undergo regular privacy and security training. In the event of a data breach, affected users will be notified in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, and we will take prompt actions to remedy and mitigate associated risks. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, absolute security cannot be guaranteed given the inherent nature of digital communications.

Our website is not directed at individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children. Should we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal data without verified parental consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete such information from our records. Parents and guardians who believe that their child may have submitted personal information to us are encouraged to contact us at [email protected] so that we can take swift corrective action. We advise parents and legal guardians to guide their children’s online activity and to educate them about safe internet practices.
