UCSF Health knows that you care about how your information is used and shared. We take protecting your privacy seriously. Please read the full statement below to understand how UCSF Health uses and protects information collected through this website.

Introduction

UCSF Health owns and operates a consumer-facing website, fc6y.yimeiwedding.com (hereafter referred to as the "Website").

The Website allows patients and other members of the public to view health-related information, learn about our medical programs and arrange for health care and other services.

This Privacy Statement applies to the Website. It describes how UCSF Health collects and uses the personal information you provide on the Website as well as other information that is collected from your use of the Website. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can update your preferences.

For the purposes of this Privacy Statement, personal information means collected information that could be used to identify you or any other individual. Information that has been stripped of details that could be used to identify an individual, either by UCSF Health or others, is no longer personal information and is not covered by the terms of this Privacy Statement.

Security
