- Offline: We may collect personal information from you when you are not connected to the Internet, for example, when you contact Call Center or visiting our hospitals and centers.
- On your browser or device: Some information is collected by most browsers or your device automatically. We use this information for statistical purposes and to ensure the Sites work better.

In some cases, we may use third-party payment services to make reservations and/or collect information through the Sites. In such cases, your personal information may be collected by that third party, not by us, and the collected information is subject to the privacy policy of that third party, not our privacy policy. Accordingly, we cannot control or assume responsibility for the use or disclosure of your personal information by that third party.
