Privacy Policy
We recognize and respect your need for privacy and security as you visit any of LifeNet Health’s websites. When you visit these sites to view any pages, learn more about organ and tissue donation, or read information about LifeNet Health allograft tissue, you do so without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. While we do not collect identifying information about visitors to our site, we do use standard software to collect information for the strict purpose of tracking activity on our site. This allows us to better understand how many people use our site and which pages and features are most popular. The only information we normally collect and store is:
- The name of your Internet service provider.
- The web site that referred you to us (if any).
- The date and time the pages were accessed.
- The page or pages you requested.
Collected Information
Information about users may be collected through registration forms provided on our websites, including on-line surveys, discussion forums, opted-in e-mail newsletters, and through the use of cookies. When web site users request pages, our server automatically recognizes and collects the domain name and IP address of visitors to our web sites.
Use of Information
LifeNet Health takes every precaution to protect users' information from unauthorized use. When users submit sensitive information via our web sites, the information is considered confidential both on-line and off-line. We do not allow public access to the portion of the server that contains user information.
Email addresses provided to us will only be used to send relevant and requested correspondence. No email addresses will be provided to third parties unless specifically requested through correspondence or opt-in opportunities. Upon request, LifeNet Health will remove users (and their information) from our database or permit them to "opt-out" of any further requested correspondence, such as e-mail newsletters, that they had previously registered for.
IP Data
Our web server automatically recognizes and collects the domain name and IP address of visitors to our web sites. In addition, we collect aggregate tracking information derived mainly from tallying page views throughout our sites, and information volunteered by the visitor, such as survey information and/or site registrations. The information we collect is used to improve the content of our web pages, customize the content and/or layout for each individual visitor and for us to contact visitors about our relevant products and services or as requested.
Cookies
If a visitor has enabled cookies in a browser, we will send a cookie file that will only store a unique, random ID that is maintained throughout the session to track the pages visited or enhance presentation. This allows us to provide our site visitors with certain conveniences, such as delivering unique content and helping with lost passwords. This information is not shared or transmitted beyond the session.
