I. How and why we gather your information
When you register for access to certain features or pages on our website, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, social security number, personal health information (PHI), street address, or telephone number. Like most websites, we automatically receive information, such as your Internet Service Provider and aggregate, anonymous information which does not personally identify you but tracks the usage patterns of all our users to learn such things as which pages or features are most appealing. We use Google Analytics to track from what search engine or website our website visitors come and Facebook and Google remarking pixels to help direct follow-up advertising. Also, we use cookie technology to recognize you and retain information from your visit, such as your username and password.
The use of these electronic tools may or may not be apparent to visitors but only serves to enhance our service and your experience. We gather your information to communicate with you, deliver more individualized content and advertising, administer our website, offer troubleshooting, process e-commerce transactions, and manage sweepstakes and contests.
II. Consent
When you make a direct payment, authenticate your payment card, or access certain features on our website, your private information may be requested. We infer your consent to collect this information and use it specifically for the purpose you have permitted and no other purpose. If, at any time, your information is required for another purpose, your consent will be expressly requested.
In certain cases, you can choose to not provide us with information. For example, you may set your browser to refuse cookies. However, you may be unable to access certain features on our website or be asked to re-enter your username and password each time you visit; additionally, without certain information, we may not be able to customize the website’s features according to your preferences.
