Privacy Policy Details

As a provider of medical content, we understand the sensitive nature of each communication and transaction that we have with you.

Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to information users reveal to Cascade Orthopaedics outside of the Site via email or by other methods. Any information that is provided as part of normal patient-physician communications is governed by applicable patient confidentiality laws.

Disclosure of Information

Unless otherwise identified in this paragraph, Cascade Orthopaedics will not disclose, without a user’s prior consent, any medical or other identifiable information gathered from our users on this site that could be used to identify or contact our users (personal information). In limited circumstances, we may release personal information to third parties (1) to comply with valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order, or (2) in special cases, such as a physical threat to our users or others. We do have third party relationships with vendors that operate and maintain our Site, that may result in them having access to user information. We require that each of our vendors not use or disclose user information beyond what is reasonably necessary to perform the functions and operations on behalf of Cascade Orthopaedics. Third party vendors are forbidden from disclosing a user’s personal information to other entities without authorization from us and/or the user. For example, we might share information regarding the number of users of our Site and the type of activities they conduct while using our Site. We would potentially share composite demographic information about our users as a whole, but not personal information that can identify any user. Depending upon the circumstances, we may or may not charge third parties for this information.
