PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
In conducting every aspect of our business, we may collect personal information. Such information may include, without limitation: your name, home and mailing addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, protected health information and other types of personal information that you choose to provide to us or that we may obtain about you.

Automatically Through Cookies and Other Collection Technology. When you use our Website, we collect some information automatically. For example, when you visit our website, we may collect device, usage and log information such as your computer’s operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access times, browser type and language, the search engine you used to locate the website, and the website you visited before or after our site.

For example, we may place a pixel in marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email. We use these technologies and the information they collect: (a) for security purposes; (b) to remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (c) to provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) to gather aggregate statistical data and metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns to continually improve design and functionality, as well as understand how the websites are used and assist us with resolving questions; (d) to diagnose or fix technology problems; and (e) to deliver, evaluate the effectiveness of, and improve our marketing and advertising.
