    You can choose whether or not to receive email communications from the Basser Center. We will not send you email unless you've requested it. On every email message we send, we include instructions on how to unsubscribe from our email list. Please use our Contact Us form if you'd like to be removed from an email list.
     

  2. The Basser Center will tell you if any information you provide is being submitted through secure or unsecured transfer.
    To help you use or learn more about The Basser Center's services and programs, various contact forms have been posted throughout the Basser Center's websites. To use these forms to contact the Basser Center or ask the Basser Center to contact you, you will need to complete the fields of information requested. The information you provide is transferred electronically to the person or people who can assist you with your request.

    If the Basser Center offers secure technology, such as encryption, for you to transfer requested information to Penn Medicine, it will say so on the page.

    If the Basser Center does not offer encryption or a secure transmission for a particular request form, it will say so. Be aware that unsecured information transferred over the Internet is similar to a postcard being sent through the mail. It is recommended that you do not send sensitive personal health information to the Basser Center or anyone else using unsecured means. Should you choose to supply confidential information in this manner, you do so at your own risk.

    Information received through a contact form is only shared with people who can assist in answering your questions or resolving your concerns.
     

  3. Sending email directly to an email address found on a Basser Center website is not secure.
    Again, unsecured information transferred over the Internet is similar to a postcard being sent through the mail. It is recommended that you do not send sensitive personal health information to the Basser Center or anyone else using unsecured means. Should you choose to supply confidential information in this manner, you do so at your own risk.
     

  4. The Basser Center provides links to other websites that may have privacy statements that are different from the Basser Center's.
    The Basser Center's websites contain links to third party websites that are not affiliated with the Basser Center. The Basser Center is not responsible for the content or privacy statements of those websites. If you are asked to supply personal information to those websites, we suggest you read carefully through the privacy statements of those websites.
