By the Bay Health Web Privacy

This Privacy Policy was last modified on March 28, 2016.

Introduction

By the Bay Health (“us,” “we,” or “our”) operates https://bythebaymulti.wpenginepowered.com/ (the “Site”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information we receive from users of the Site.

We have a firm commitment to maintain the privacy of your personal information online. We do not collect personally identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Providing such information is strictly voluntary. Except as might be required by law, we do not share any information we receive with any outside parties.

By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible at https://bythebaymulti.wpenginepowered.com/.This policy is your guide to how we will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our website.

1. How do you use visitor’s information?

Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, which pages of our Site you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics. We use this information to help us make our site better for our visitors.

2. What about information I supply By the Bay Health?

If you choose to complete My Email Preferences, you are sharing personally identifying information. We never give this information to any other agency or individual, except as might be required by law. Contact information is used to send you information about By the Bay Health activities or messaging related to our mission and programs. We may use your information to send further information about our organization or to contact you if necessary. At any time, you may opt-out of receiving future emails. See the “Opt Out” section below.

You may send us personally identifying information, for example, in an email link on our site that contains a question or comment, or by filling out a volunteer or web donation form. We use that information to respond to your requests. We may forward your email to other employees who can better answer your questions. We may also use your email to contact you about our programs that may be of interest. Again, we do not share your information with any parties outside our agency, except as required by law.

3. Can you guarantee my information is secure?

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

This above is why we do not recommend that you email personal health information about you or someone you know (including name, address, diagnosis, etc.). Under the health information privacy rules set down by the government, only fax transmission or phone call are considered secure methods of giving out personal health information. Unless you use an encryption service, email is not considered a secure method of communication.

4. Does your site collect Cookies?

Some web sites collect cookies, small data files that may include an anonymous unique identifier. Through your web browser, these files are stored on your computer’s hard drive. While we do not collect cookie information, other sites linked to ours may do so. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

5. Are sites that link to or from your site considered secure?

Our Site may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. By the Bay Health has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party sites or services.

6. How do I opt-out of email or change my contact information?

Our site allows users to opt-out of receiving email communications from us by either sending an email via our My Email Preferences web page, or by logging on to Our Online Portal where you can update contact information previously provided to us.

7. Where do I direct questions, either about this policy or By the Bay Health?

If you have any questions about this privacy statement or this website, please email us at hospiceinfo@bythebayhealth.org. You may also send us an email via our Contact Us web page. If you have questions about an online donation, email development@bythebayhealth.org or call (415) 526.5500.

By the Bay Health may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
