Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website addresses are lesterthompsonmd.com, lester-thompson.com, drlesterthompson.com, pathologyconsults.com, virtualpathologylibrary.com and digitalpathologylibrary.com which all share the same pages.

What personal data we collect, how we collect it, why we collect it and how we use it

We do not have a login section, we do not allow guests to comment on pages or posts, nor do we allow visitors to upload files of any sort. Therefore we do not collect your information unless you actively choose to fill out our order form page(s) which are powered by WooCommerce and/or Stripe for payment processing.

If you fill out a purchase transaction, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, email address, phone number, billing address, and description details of the service(s) you are asking for.
We use Stripe for payment, analytics, and other business services. Stripe collects identifying information about the devices that connect to its services. Stripe uses this information to operate and improve the services it provides to us, including for fraud detection. You can learn more about Stripe and read its privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy. During the checkout process, your IP address and Stripe’s confirmation number for the transaction will be collected. We will never have details regarding your method of payment. That data is retained by Stripe, Inc. We will use the data to process the order and contact you regarding that order. We may use the information in the future to contact you regarding changes to our services or to this privacy policy.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages and posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, text, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any third party.

Analytics

We do not participate in third-party analytics.

Website security measures

We use iThemes Security to protect the website from malicious intent. The IP address of visitors, user ID of logged in users, and username of login attempts are conditionally logged to check for malicious activity and to protect the site from specific kinds of attacks. Examples of conditions when logging occurs include login attempts, log out requests, requests for suspicious URLs, changes to site content, and password updates. This information is retained for 180 days. Additionally, this site is scanned for potential malware and vulnerabilities by Sucuri’s SiteCheck. We do not send personal information to Sucuri; however, Sucuri could find personal information posted publicly (such as in comments) during their scan. For more details, please see Sucuri’s privacy policy at https://sucuri.net/privacy. This site is also part of a network of sites that protect against distributed brute force attacks. To enable this protection, the IP address of visitors attempting to log into the site is shared with a service provided by ithemes.com. For privacy policy details, please see the iThemes Privacy Policy at https://ithemes.com/privacy-policy.

Who we share your data with

No one with the exception those companies mentioned above for purchase transactions and/or the security of the website.

How long we retain your data

If you complete the process to pay for our services, we may keep the data you have given us indefinitely. See WooCommerce.com and PayPal.com for their privacy policies as they are out of our control and their policies may change at any time. The security logs are kept for 180 days.
