You can enable or disable location services when you use our services at any time, through your mobile device settings.
4. Personal Data from cookies: We use cookies. Cookies are small files stored on your computer or mobile device which collect information about your browsing behavior (we’ll call this “Automatic Data”). These cookies do not access information which is stored on your device. For our website, Automatic Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

In case the aggregation of your Personal Data and non-personal data allows us to identify you, we will handle such aggregated information as Personal Data.
Why do we combine or aggregate data? We combine or aggregate data in order to better serve you and to better enhance and update firststepsrecovery.com for your and other consumers’ use.
What is our legal basis for processing your Personal Data?
We respect data minimization principles, which is a fancy way of saying we only collect the minimal amount of Personal Data required for legitimate business purposes. In other words, we need the Personal Data that we do to effectively run our business, and we don’t collect more than is necessary. The Personal Data you provide to us voluntarily (like the kind of information that you gave through registration, use, and communication with us) is completely up to you. That said, we may still process automatic Personal Data, such as that received through cookies, regardless of how you interact with our website.
We also, though, want to ensure that you feel we’re always treating your voluntary Personal Data – in other words, the data that we ask you for – just that way you’d expect. Because of that, before you use or access any of our services, you’ll be directed to this Privacy Policy. You should take the time to read and review it carefully, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions. We’ll ask you to a check a box indicating that you’ve read this Privacy Policy in full and agree to the processing of your voluntary Personal Data as we’ve described here.
If you don’t understand this Privacy Policy or you’re not sure about anything we’ve described here, please reach out to us so we can help. If you’re still unsure, it’s best not to use any of our services until we can help.
Additionally, if we collect or process your Personal Data in any way not indicated by this Privacy Policy in the future, we will seek your explicit prior consent. To be clear, consent will be sought if we wish to provide you with direct marketing communications, if we transfer your data to third parties not indicated here, or if we otherwise significantly amend or change this Privacy Policy.
Will your Personal Data ever be shared and if so, how and with whom?
We use third party service providers to help us operate firststepsrecovery.com, but we’ll never share your Personal Data other than as described here without your explicit consent. These are the third party service providers we currently use, as well as why we use them:
MailChimp for list management.
Salesforce for customer relationship management.
CallTrackingMetrics for call and form fill management.
Please note that the third party service providers indicated above will access your Personal Data only on an “if needed” basis as a part of their partnerships with us. Your Personal Data will be disclosed only if such third parties agree to ensure an adequate level of protection of your Personal Data that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
In certain cases, however, we may have to disclose your Personal Data to third parties. We limit that disclosure to the following circumstances:
Please note that we do not share, sell, or otherwise provide your Personal Data to any third-party advertisers.
Do we ever send you marketing communications?
We may send you marketing communications, such as newsletters and brochures, but only after we obtain your explicit consent. In other words, we’re never going to automatically add you to a mailing list or other marketing communication list – we’ll specifically ask you to opt-in to the communications you want to receive. If you do consent to receive marketing communications through your affirmative opt-in, you’ll be receiving things like newsletters, target campaigns, and offerings of new products, services or recommendations. We also may send push notifications to your mobile device if you’ve consented to do so.
Even if you do want to get marketing messages from us, you’ll be able to revoke your consent at any time. You can do so for push notifications by deactivating the notification permissions on your mobile device. You can do so for marketing communications by
We’ll take you off our marketing list as soon as we can, and you won’t hear from us again.

Web Privacy Policy:
Your privacy is important to us at Sirona Behavioral Health. As part of our efforts to make your Sirona Behavioral Health experience as user-friendly and enjoyable as possible, we may collect and use certain information you provide to us. This Website Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) addresses the collection, use, and disclosure of information that Sirona Behavioral Health may gather during your Sirona Behavioral Health experience, including when you access or use the Website or Services, as defined in our Terms and Conditions. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in the TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
Please review the entire policy to learn the types of End User information Sirona Behavioral Health gathers, how Sirona Behavioral Health uses that End User information, what End User information is disclosed and to what third parties, and how Sirona Behavioral Health safeguards your End User information. As used in this Privacy Policy, the terms “use,” ”using,” “process,” and “processing” information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis, and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to, collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing, and transferring information within the Sirona Behavioral Health enterprise or among its affiliates.
Please also check back periodically as this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by publishing the new Privacy Policy through the Website. The End User information Sirona Behavioral Health gathers is and will be subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time the information is gathered. Should you have any questions or concerns at any time, please feel free to contact us.
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Sirona Behavioral Health Website and Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any websites managed, maintained, and/or hosted by third parties not directly affiliated with Sirona Behavioral Health that you may visit, e.g., via a link provided through the Website or Services or on a website maintained by any third party. Sirona Behavioral Health does not control the privacy policies of other websites to which we may provide hyperlinks. We encourage you to learn more about the online privacy and data security policies of third party websites directly from such third parties, as their policies may differ from ours.
By submitting your information to us and by using the Website or Services, Sirona Behavioral Health will assume that you have read, understood, and consent to this Privacy Policy, our Terms and Conditions, all amendments, addenda, and licenses to the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, and all applicable Sirona Behavioral Health rules and policies (collectively, the “Agreement”). We also assume that you consent to Sirona Behavioral Health’s use of your information and data as described in the Agreement. If you do not consent, you should not access or use the Website or Services.
I. Information Sirona Behavioral Health Collects
A. Personal Information and Non-Identifying Information
When you access or use our Website or Services, we may ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, your name, username (if it identifies you), phone number, email address, home and business postal addresses, and any other information that you provide to Sirona Behavioral Health that could be used to personally identify you.
We also collect other information that you may provide when using our Website or Services that does not identify you (“Non-Identifying Information”). Non-Identifying Information includes, but is not limited to, your zip code (on its own), gender, age, and individual preferences. Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your viewing preferences).
We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide portions of the Website and Services and respond to correspondence from you. For example, we may use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters and other information that you request. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications.
We may also combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other End Users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Website and Services, and to analyze and understand how the Website and Services are used.
B. Usage Data
When you visit the Website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. The information sent automatically by your browser is referred to as “Usage Data.” This Usage Data may include information such as the manufacturer and model of your mobile device or other hardware; your Internet Service Provider (ISP); your device’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (or other device identifier), browser type, and operating system; referring/exit pages; clickstream data; pages of the Website that you visit, the time spent on those pages or interacting with certain portions of the Website or Services, information you search for on the Website and Services, Website access times and dates; and other statistics. Usage Data may also include certain geographic data that identifies your general location when accessing the Website and Services.
We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Website and Services and for technical administration of the same, to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of the Website and Services, and to better tailor it to our End Users’ needs. For example, some of this information is collected so that when you visit the Website time after time, it will recognize you and serve information appropriate to your interests. Geographic Usage Data may be used to prioritize information about a Sirona Behavioral Health location near you.
Usage Data may be non-identifying or it may be associated with you. Whenever we associate Usage Data with Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information.
II. Collection of Information
Sirona Behavioral Health may use a number of different techniques and technologies to collect Personal Information, Non-Identifying Information, and Usage Data. For example, Sirona Behavioral Health may use cookies, log files, clear gifs, pixel tags, embedded scripts, and/or other technology used to monitor your Sirona Behavioral Health experience.
A. Collection of Personal Information and Non-Identifying Information
As is regular practice on many websites, the Website and Services use cookies and other technologies to help us understand which parts of the Website and Services are more popular and how much time End Users spend there. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to and stored on your device from our server. Cookies allow you, for example, to enter your password less frequently or to remember your preferences during an online session. The Website and Services use only first-party cookies (i.e., no third-party cookies that send data directly to a third party). The cookies that the Website and Services use do not store Personal Information, but they may store Non-Identifying Information. Since cookies are now used as industry standard, most devices automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your device’s settings to decline them. If you prefer not to enable cookies, you may choose to disable them; however, please note that certain features on the Website and Services will not be available to you once cookies are disabled.
Please note that if you use any blog, bulletin board, chat room, comment posting feature, or other public communication service, forum, or feature offered through the Website or Services, or post any information available for viewing by other End Users, any of the information that you share will be visible to other End Users. The information that you make available can be read, used, and collected by other End Users to send you unsolicited messages outside of the Website and Services. Sirona Behavioral Health is not responsible for the manner in which the Personal Information that you decide to share will be used by other End Users.
B. Collection of Usage Data
Usage Data are collected automatically by the Website and Services servers and software. For example, because the Website automatically collects Usage Data for all End Users that visit the Website, your session on our Website will be tracked by Sirona Behavioral Health.
Additionally, in some of our email messages, Sirona Behavioral Health may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Website and Services. When an End User clicks onto one of these URLs, the End User will pass through our server before arriving at the destination Web page. Sirona Behavioral Health tracks this click-through data to help us determine End User interest in certain subject matter and measure the effectiveness of these End User communications. You can avoid being tracked in this way by not clicking text or graphic links in emails from Sirona Behavioral Health.
Finally, we may use clear gifs or pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images, in order: (i) to advise us of what parts of the Website and Services End Users have visited, (ii) to measure the effectiveness of any searches End Users perform, and (iii) to enable us to send emails in a format that End Users can read and tell us whether such emails have been opened in order to ensure us that we are sending messages that are of interest to End Users.
C. Tracking
Some Web browsers may be configured to send Do Not Track signals to websites, or users may use similar mechanisms, to indicate a user’s preference that certain web technologies not be used to track the user’s online activity. Our Website does not accept or process such Do Not Track signals or similar mechanisms.
III. Use and Sharing of Information by Sirona Behavioral Health
The End User information that Sirona Behavioral Health collects may be added to our databases and used for business purposes, including for Sirona Behavioral Health’s marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of End Users’ behavior, for product development, for content improvement, or to customize the content and layout of the Website and Services. If you’ve provided information to Sirona Behavioral Health in order to receive e-mail content and at any time do not want to receive email from us, visit the “Opt Out” or “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any Sirona Behavioral Health email to remove yourself from continued receipt of such email messages.
Sirona Behavioral Health’s policy is not to share the End User information it collects with third parties other than as specified below, or where an End User expressly consents to our sharing of certain information with a third party.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email (when available) or a conspicuous posting through the Website and Services in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
