PHF is committed to protecting your online privacy while providing you with the most useful and enjoyable Web experience possible. Whilst you can access a lot of useful information anonymously, you are required to provide personal information to login to our premium services, which enable you to access your entire practice securely online.

How we collect and use personal information

Registering for access to PHF's login area gives you full access to all your practice information. This process happens off-line, through a secure paper-based sign-up procedure. With your approval, we occasionally will send e-mail to notify you about important changes to the site, new services, and special offers from us. If you would rather not receive these e-mail notifications, you can simply notify us by phone or e-mail.

How we protect your and your patients' personal information

All personal data you enter on PHF is encrypted with secure server software (SSL) that encodes the information before your Web browser software sends it to us. The SSL software decodes the data only after it reaches our server, meaning hackers can’t snatch any of your or your patients' personal information while it is in transit. Once the data reaches our site, the same state-of-the-art security software we use to guard all of our company’s essential business data protects your personal data as well.

How we use "cookies"

As you probably know, "cookies" are small pieces of information that some Web sites store on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. Like many other Web sites, PHF uses cookies to help improve your website experience. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies but allow you to modify security settings so you can approve or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis. Even if you do not use cookies, you can still access all of the features on our site by logging in manually with each visit.

What we provide to third parties

PHF does not provide any third-party access to your or your patients' personal information. PHF does not use any third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our site.

Obtaining your consent

By using our Web site, you give PHF permission to collect information about the pages served to you as an anonymous user for the purpose of calculating aggregate site statistics. If you register at PHF, you authorise PHF to use information you provide to personalise the information we deliver to you and to use your demographic information when calculating aggregate customer data.

Any changes to our privacy policy will be posted on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
