Privacy statement

DNS believes you should understand how it uses the information you provide and furthermore that you should have the right to approve the use of that information. DNS operates under the following set of strict privacy principles:

• This site does not collect any personally identifying information about visitors except when specifically and knowingly provided by such visitors.

Cookies

Like most websites, doctorsNS.com uses “cookies.” A cookie is a small text file placed in the browser files on your hard drive by a web server. A cookie is essentially your identification card; it is uniquely yours and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It can save you time and money by taking you directly to the pages you use most frequently. A cookie cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. Cookies help DNS see which areas of the site are most popular. Visitors to doctorsNS.com may opt out of cookies/tracking by either disabling JavaScript within their browsers or downloading the “Opt-out” plugin for Google Analytics.
 

IP addresses

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you access the Internet. DNS collects IP addresses for the purpose of system administration, to report aggregate information and to audit the use of its site. When visitors request pages from doctorsNS.com, the DNS server logs the visitor’s IP address. DNS does not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. Although the visitor’s session is logged, the visitor remains anonymous. DNS can and will use IP addresses to identify the visitor when necessary to enforce compliance with site terms of use or to protect the association’s site and other visitors.
 

Security

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information about visitors to doctorsNS.com is of utmost concern to DNS. The association exercises great care in providing secure transmission of your information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 per cent secure. As a result, while DNS strives to protect your personal information, the association cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us electronically. Once we receive your transmission, DNS makes every effort to ensure its security.
