This privacy statement applies specifically to the 800ingrown toll-free number, 1 800 service and for the 800 number.
The Internet is an amazing tool. It has the power to change the way we live, and we are starting to see that potential today. With only a few mouse-clicks, you can follow the news, look up facts, buy goods and services, and communicate with others from around the world-even people you might never have met. It is important to 800ingrown to help its customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all the Internet has to offer.
800ingrown explicitly asks when it needs information that personally identifies you ("Profile Information"). 800ingrown asks for your first and last name, state and zip code (or country and postal code for non-U.S. residents).
For more information about our privacy statement, see the following Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's).
