Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 2025
Welcome to the Arizona Joint Specialty Center (“AJSC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) website. AJSC is committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of any information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information obtained through our website, particularly when visitors make online payments through our secure payment portal.
Our Notice of Privacy Practices, provided separately to all patients receiving medical services, describes how AJSC protects and uses your Protected Health Information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This website Privacy Policy applies only to information collected online and not to PHI collected during the delivery of healthcare services.
AJSC’s website collects only limited information necessary to process online payments safely and effectively. This may include your name, billing address, email address, payment card or bank information entered directly into our PCI-compliant payment processor, and transaction details such as amount and date. AJSC does not collect any medical, clinical, or insurance information through its website.
The information you provide is used exclusively to process and confirm payments you submit through the online portal, provide receipt or transaction confirmation via email, maintain financial records and compliance documentation, and meet legal and regulatory requirements related to billing and accounting. We do not use this information for marketing or advertising purposes, and we do not sell or share your data with third parties.
AJSC partners with a secure, PCI-compliant third-party payment processor to handle all online transactions. Your payment information (such as credit card numbers) is encrypted and transmitted directly to the processor. AJSC does not store, retain, or access your full payment credentials. Our website uses HTTPS encryption and other industry-standard security controls to protect information during transmission and storage.
AJSC’s website uses minimal cookies strictly for secure operation of the payment portal and basic functionality. We do not use analytics, tracking, advertising, or retargeting cookies. Visitors may choose to disable cookies through their browser settings without affecting the ability to make a payment.
AJSC may disclose limited information only when necessary to complete transactions or comply with legal requirements. This may include sharing information with our payment processing partner solely for secure transaction completion, providing access to authorized AJSC personnel responsible for accounting or compliance, or complying with a court order or legal request. We do not otherwise share personal information with outside organizations for any purpose.
No Protected Health Information (PHI) is collected, transmitted, or stored via the AJSC website. All patient medical records and clinical data are maintained in our secure, internal systems and protected under HIPAA. The AJSC website serves only as an informational and payment resource and does not handle medical documentation.
Our website is not intended for use by children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from children. If we become aware that such information has been inadvertently collected, we will delete it promptly.
AJSC’s website may contain links to external websites for payment processing or other resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before providing any information.
