At Eastern Shore Community Services Board (ESCSB), we take your privacy seriously. We have two policies designed to protect your privacy under different circumstances:

HIPAA Policy

The Eastern Shore Community Services Board (ESCSB) complies with the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Privacy Rule of 2003, which regulates the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI).

The ESCSB makes every effort to ensure that consumers’ PHI is properly protected while allowing for the flow of health information that is needed to provide and promote high-quality behavioral health care and to protect the public’s health and well-being.

Adherence to the Privacy Rule is strictly enforced and the ESCSB’s Privacy Officer oversees PHI disclosures and strikes a balance that permits important uses of information while protecting the privacy of individuals who seek care and recovery.

Your privacy is important to us and this policy has been put in place to inform you of our practices and how you can make changes.

This privacy policy follows the guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), specifically, it includes the FTC’s Four Fair Information Practices:

Notice

Data collectors must disclose their information practices before collecting personal information from consumers.

Choice

Consumers must be given options with respect to whether or how personal information collected from them may be used for purposes beyond those for which the information was provided.

Access

Consumers should be able to view and contest the accuracy and completeness of data collected about them.

Security

Data collectors must take reasonable steps to ensure that information collected from consumers is accurate and secure from unauthorized use.

Our web stats program collects aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit. We use that information to make improvements to the website.

The information we collect is used for internal review, to respond to communications to us, to provide requested information or items, and to notify consumers about service or program offerings, or updates to our website.

If you do not want to receive e-mails from us in the future, please let us know by sending an e-mail to privacy@escsb.org with a request to be removed from our email list.

If you supply us with your postal address online you may receive occasional mailings from us with expressions of appreciation, information on new services, or upcoming events. If you do not wish to receive such postal mailings, please let us know by sending an e-mail to privacy@escsb.org with a request to be removed from our postal mailing list.

You must provide us with your exact name and address so that we may remove it from our postal mailing list.

With respect to Ad Servers, we have affiliate relationships with several companies whose products may be of interest to you. Their ads may appear on our website or in our newsletter. There may also be links to their website on our website. Please check their privacy policy for information about what data they may collect and how it may be used. We also provide links to other websites. Clicking on these links will take you off our website and to the other website. By providing links to other sites, the Eastern Shore Community Services Board does not guarantee, approve or endorse the information, services, or products available at these sites, nor does a link indicate any association with or endorsement by the linked site to the Eastern Shore Community Services Board. Our privacy policy does not extend to your visit to another website.

From time to time, we may use consumer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our website to notify you of these changes. At the time of the change, you may opt-out of these new uses by sending us an email to privacy@escsb.org. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check our website periodically.

Consumers may prevent their information from being used for purposes other than those for which it was originally collected by sending an email to privacy@escsb.org.

Upon written request, we provide site visitors with access to contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number) that we maintain about them. Consumers can access this information by sending an e-mail to us at privacy@escsb.org.

Upon written request, we offer visitors the ability to have inaccuracies corrected in their contact information.

You can have this information corrected by sending an e-mail to privacy@escsb.org. To protect your privacy, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before allowing you to change or correct the information we have.

With respect to security, when we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information such as financial information, we redirect visitors to a secure server. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we collect from consumers is accurate and secure from unauthorized use.
