Our Privacy Policy is designed to keep you informed about the way personally
identifiable information about you may be collected on this Web site, with whom
we may share it, the uses which may be made of that information and the manner
by which you may review and request changes to any personally identifiable
information which we may collect.
The Meaning of Certain Terms Used in Our Policy
As used in our Privacy Policy, the term “personally identifiable information”
means, with respect to a person who accesses this Web site (a “User”): first
and last names; addresses; email addresses; telephone numbers; social security
numbers; and any other identifier which would permit contact to be made with a
specific individual. Personally identifiable information also means information
concerning a User which would be specific to the individual if linked to the
identifiers previously described.
Information We Collect
Personally identifiable information which you provide us and that we may
collect will ordinarily include your name and your email address but may in
some cases also include a telephone number, residence or business address or
other identifier which would permit contact to be made with you specifically.
Personally identifiable information also includes other information concerning
and linked to you specifically, such as occupation, interests and the like. All
such information is voluntarily provided by the User, normally in order to
obtain requested information.
We may also collect information which will not be specifically linked to you
but which may be used to improve our Web site service, and this will not be
considered personally identifiable information. For example, CareCredit may
gather information about visitors to its Web site by tracking the usage of
certain features. The collection of this information enables CareCredit to
tailor its content to your needs, keep you informed of information that you may
find of interest, and to help better understand the needs of Users.
Cookies
We may store data on your computer (a “cookie”) when you visit our Web site.
This data may enable us to recognize you automatically and to keep apprised of
your usage of the Web site. You may avoid having a cookie by setting your
browser to deal with or block cookies in the manner you specify.
Sharing of Information
From time to time, CareCredit also may provide personally identifiable
information from its mailing list to selected third-party sponsors, businesses
or organizations. CareCredit will endeavor to provide such information only to
reputable companies. CareCredit, however, will not sell, license, or rent its
mailing list to any third parties and will require that such third parties
agree not to maintain the mailing list in their business (unless you
subsequently contact such party) and that such third parties not license, sell,
rent, or transfer the mailing list to any other parties.
Correcting Your Information
If your personally identifiable information changes (such as your email
address), or if you no longer want CareCredit to maintain your information,
this can be accomplished by sending us an email at
contactus@carecreditworks.com
.
Effective Date and Policy Changes
CareCredit reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time
and at any time, and when that occurs we will notify visitors to this Web site
of such changes. We will not communicate changes in any other manner,
including, for example, by email to individual users. This Privacy Policy is
effective July 17, 2006.
