You will be asked to provide personal information (including certain demographic and contact information, including email addresses) during the Website registration process, when making appointment requests, during the Website login process, or when providing feedback to us about your experiences using Website. The information required is noted on each specific form or registration page. Additional questions might be included to help us improve the services we offer.

HOW WE USE THIS INFORMATION
Mass General Brigham uses the information you provide to operate Website and provide the Website service to you.
