Effective Date: October 1, 2024
Confidentiality is important to Hickory Recovery Network’s mission and our behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment centers are fully committed to respecting your online privacy.
This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for www.hickorynetwork.com and the various related websites, networks, and other services on which a link to this Privacy Policy is displayed.
Information collection, use, and sharing
While using our website and any services or features provided by us on the website, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). You may also choose to provide additional information or publish other date or postings on messaging, discussion boards, or other features of the website provided now or in the future (“User Postings”). Usage data may also be collected automatically when using the website. When you access the website or related services or features by or through a mobile device, we may collect certain information automatically including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device unique ID, the IP address of your mobile device, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile internet browser you use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data (collectively, “Usage Data”). Personal Data, User Postings and Usage Data are collectively referred to as “User Information.”
We are the sole owners of the User Information collected on this site. We will not sell or rent this User Information to anyone.
We will use your User Information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us and for our own internal business purposes which may include monitoring the usage of our website and services, development of future services, contacting you regarding our services, to provide you with news about our facilities or services, to attend and manage your requests to us, and other standard business purposes such as data analysis, usage trends, and evaluation of our services and customer experiences. Under no circumstances do we rent, trade or share your Personal Data or Usage Data with any other company for their marketing purposes without your consent.
Deletion of Data
You have the right to delete or request that we assist in deleting your Personal Date or User Postings. Certain features or services of our website now or in the future may give you the ability to delete User Postings from within the service. You may also contact us to request access to, correct, or delete any Personal Data that you have provided to us. Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information when we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.
Security
The security of your Personal Data is important to us. Wherever we collect sensitive information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone and keep your account information secure. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in any public areas of the website like message boards.
Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet or any wireless network, or method of electronic storage, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through the website cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a small file stored on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our website. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any Personal Data on our site.

This website contains links to other sites that are not operated by Hickory Recovery Network. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We strongly advise our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Our website may include social media features, such as the Facebook “like” button and widgets, and “share” buttons to social media websites, or other interactive mini-programs. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing such features.
Disclosure of User Information
Under certain circumstances, Hickory Recovery Network may be required to disclose your User Information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
