With appropriate consent, we may also send promotional communications concerning Verge Aesthetics services, events, offers, or announcements.

For SMS communications:

• Message frequency may vary.

• Message and data rates may apply.

• Reply STOP to opt out of applicable text messages.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or receiving services where prohibited by applicable law.

We do not sell your mobile telephone number or use it to permit unrelated third parties to independently market their products or services to you.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email or SMS communications at any time using the applicable unsubscribe or opt-out instructions.

Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending necessary appointment, treatment, transactional, safety, or legally required communications.

5. PAYMENT & FINANCING INFORMATION

Payments and financing may be facilitated through third-party payment processors, financial institutions, or financing providers.

Verge Aesthetics does not necessarily receive or retain all financial information provided directly to these third parties.

• Electronic medical records

• Secure forms

• Payment processing

• Financing

• Professional and technical services

We limit disclosures of personal information as appropriate for the service being performed and applicable law.

When a third-party provider qualifies as a Business Associate under HIPAA, we take appropriate steps to address applicable HIPAA requirements, including entering into a Business Associate Agreement when required.

Third-party websites and services may maintain their own privacy policies. Verge Aesthetics is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services.

7. PHOTOGRAPHS & TREATMENT DOCUMENTATION

Photographs may be taken before, during, or after treatment when appropriate for:

• Medical documentation

9. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, loss, or disclosure.

These safeguards may include secure platforms, access controls, password protections, encryption where appropriate, staff access limitations, and other security measures.

No website, electronic communication system, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted electronically.

If a breach involving protected information occurs, Verge Aesthetics will comply with applicable notification and reporting requirements.

11. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our website and services are not directed toward children for the purpose of independently collecting personal information from them online.

When information concerning a minor is necessary for healthcare services, we collect and maintain that information in accordance with applicable law and the rights of the minor's parent, legal guardian, or other legally authorized representative.

12. SOCIAL MEDIA

Verge Aesthetics may maintain accounts on third-party social media platforms.

Information you post publicly, comment on, or send through a social media platform may be subject to that platform's privacy practices.

For your privacy, please do not submit medical records, detailed medical information, photographs containing sensitive medical information, or other PHI through public comments or social media messages.

When appropriate, our team may direct you to a more secure method of communication.
