Memorial Healthcare Website Privacy Statement
Memorial Healthcare respects the privacy of every individual who visits our website. This privacy statement provides notice of the standards and terms under which Memorial Healthcare protects the privacy of information supplied by visitors to the Memorial Healthcare website. This privacy statement provides notice of our information collection practices and of the ways in which your information may be used. This statement may change from time to time, so please check back periodically to review this information.
What information does Memorial Healthcare collect and how is it used?
Personally-Identifiable Information
Memorial Healthcare typically receives specific data about its website visitors only when such information is provided voluntarily, such as when our visitors request information, pay for services rendered, register for events, sign up for e-newsletters or send us e-mail. Of course, some of these activities require that you give us, or a third-party vendor, information such as your credit card information to pay for services, submit your resume, or request test results in the M-Health patient portal. When you provide personally-identifiable information to Memorial Healthcare through our website, it will be used to fulfill your specific request. Memorial Healthcare reserves the right, in its discretion, to send you bulletins and other important information.
Memorial Healthcare will not sell, trade or allow a 3rd party entity to purchase, sell or share your personally-identifiable information unless we are authorized or legally required to do so. On the Memorial Healthcare website where you may provide your credit card or other information via the web, Memorial Healthcare protects and secures this information by employing commercially customary web-based security and encryption protocols, examples of which include Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Secure Electronic Transaction (SET). On those sites, such as our social media pages, where you voluntarily offer any feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas or the like, Memorial Healthcare will treat that portion of the information as non-confidential and non-proprietary and, except as otherwise expressed in this privacy statement, Memorial Healthcare assumes no obligation to protect such information from disclosure.
Non Personally-Identifiable (Generic) Information
In general, Memorial Healthcare gathers some generic information automatically. Generic information does NOT reveal the identity of the visitor. It usually includes information about the Internet address assigned to your computer, the number and frequency of visitors, and the Memorial Healthcare sites visited. Memorial Healthcare gathers this information for the limited purpose of determining customer service and website needs. We may accomplish this by using certain technologies, including “cookies” (a technology that can be used to provide the visitor with tailored information about Memorial Healthcare services). Memorial Healthcare does not combine information collected in this way with any personally-identifiable information. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and you can refuse it.
Your Memorial Healthcare-Hosted Website, Bulletin Boards, Chat Rooms and Third-Party Sites
Information that you disclose in a public space, including on any bulletin board, chat room, website or social media site that Memorial Healthcare may host is available to anyone else who visits that space. Memorial Healthcare cannot safeguard any information you disclose in these locations. Additionally, the Memorial Healthcare website and social media sites contain links to sites that belong to third parties unrelated to Memorial Healthcare. Memorial Healthcare cannot protect any information you may disclose in these sites and recommends that you review the privacy policy statements of those sites you visit.
Exceptions and Limitations
Notwithstanding the foregoing and in compliance with applicable laws, Memorial Healthcare (i) cooperates fully with state, local, and federal officials in any investigation relating to any content (including personal or private electronic communications transmitted to Memorial Healthcare) or purported unlawful activities of any visitor to our sites, and (ii) takes reasonable measures to protect its proprietary rights. For the limited purposes of accomplishing such cooperation and measures and in compliance with applicable laws, Memorial Healthcare may be required to disclose personally identifiable information. In addition, Memorial Healthcare may elect to monitor the areas of communication of any kind (i) to satisfy any law, regulation, or government request; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate Memorial Healthcare; or (iii) to protect the rights or property of Memorial Healthcare or others. In connection with the potential sale or transfer of any sites owned by the company, Memorial Healthcare reserves the right to sell or transfer your information (including , but not limited to name, address information, and other information you provided to Memorial Healthcare) to a third party that (i) concentrates its business in healthcare products or services; (ii) agrees to be Memorial Healthcare’s successor in interest with regard to the maintenance and protection of information collected and maintained by Memorial Healthcare; and (iii) agrees to the obligations of this policy statement.
