Privacy Policy

The Physician Office System Program (POSP) makes every reasonable effort to protect the security of your personal information and honor your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your information from misuse, unauthorized access and disclosure.

We do not provide personal information to unrelated third parties for any reason. We do share some data with affiliated organizations, such as the Canadian Medical Association and the Alberta Medical Association.

Please be aware there is some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet regardless of our efforts.

POSP uses "cookies" for the security functionality on this website. Your browser settings must be configured to allow cookies if you wish to access the member-only pages.

When you attempt to access POSP-protected web pages, the web server checks for the "cookies" and, if they are not available, displays the login page. The login process creates two small text files ("cookies") on your hard drive. These "cookies" contain your name (for the home page greeting) and identification number (to allow access to your personal profile). These "cookies" also allow you appropriate access to the Physician Office System Program (POSP) website and components thereof.

The "cookies" cannot be executed as code nor deliver viruses, and are valid for a limited period of time. In other words, the "cookie" will expire if you do not access any additional web pages for more than one hour or if you use the sign-out feature on the home page.

POSP does collect information in log files on its server. The information captured, such as browser type, operating system, time of access, etc., is used to monitor website abuse and unauthorized access. It also gives POSP the opportunity to identify any problems and improve service. This information is not released to any third party unless POSP is legally compelled to provide this information.

This privacy statement applies only to the Physician Office System Program website and to components of the website hosted by Redengine Inc. (Redengine.com). POSP has a confidentiality agreement with Redengine Inc. to ensure your information is protected.

POSP is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites linked within our website. You are encouraged to read the privacy statements on those sites.

Soon, POSP will begin to offer its up-to-date information service, For The Record, exclusively in electronic format. You may unsubscribe at any time from this offering.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding POSP's privacy policy, please email POSP.
