Salience TMS Neuro Solutions (“Salience TMS”) recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of your personal information, and we have prepared this Mobile Application Privacy Policy to provide you with important information about the privacy practices applicable to the Salience TMS Patient Portal and any website or service that links to or refers to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).
