This information is collected for the purpose of improving your overall visit to our Sites by providing interest-based content.

We may use cookies to: (i) store visitors’ preferences and recognize visitors’ computers; (ii) customize Web page content based on visitor interests; (iii) assist with security and administrative functions.

Most Internet browsers will allow a user to accept or deny cookies. Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” or “Settings” section of your browser for more information. If a visitor rejects our cookies, they may still use our Sites, but may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Site.

Please be aware that EBH, or those acting on our behalf, may also use web beacons to access EBH cookies inside and outside our network of Sites. Web pages may contain an electronic file called a web beacon that allows a web site to count users who have visited specific content or Sites or to access certain cookies.

We may also use certain third-party products or services (“Third-Party Tools”), such as Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, in order to better understand the use of our Sites. These Third-Party Tools may collect information such as how often users visit our Sites, what pages they visit, and the websites which referred you to our Sites. Further, the Third-Party Tools may use the data collected to track and examine the use of the Sites, to prepare reports on its activities, and to share them with other related services.

Additional information about the Third-Party Tools we use can be provided by contacting us, as explained further below. To prevent Google Analytics from using information for analytical purposes, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on available on their website.

LEGAL BASIS FOR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

The laws of some jurisdictions require companies to explain the legal grounds relied upon to use or disclose your personal information. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:

To Honor our Contractual Commitments to You: Much of our processing of personal information is to meet the contractual obligations to our users, or to take steps at users’ requests in anticipation of entering into a contract with them. For example, we handle personal information on the basis of your donations or payment for services.

Consent: Where required by law, and in some other cases, we handle personal information on the basis of your implied or express consent.

Legitimate Interests: In many cases, we handle personal information on the ground that it furthers our legitimate interests in our activities in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals. This includes: operating EBH and the Sites; providing security for the Sites; products, software, or applications; marketing; making and receiving payments; and preventing fraud.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance: We need to use and disclose personal information in certain ways to comply with our legal and/or regulatory obligations (such as our obligation to share data with tax authorities).

SHARING OF INFORMATION

We may share the information described above as set forth in this Policy or as otherwise described at the time such information is collected from you. We will not sell, rent, or swap this information, nor will we authorize any of our service providers or business partners to use this information for their own commercial purposes without your permission.

Information Shared by Us:

We may share information with a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate entity within the EBH family. Any organization to which we provide such information is required to keep it confidential and to use such information only in accordance with this Policy.

Service Providers. In the course of doing business, we work with other companies and individuals to perform a variety of functions on our behalf. For example, we may provide information as necessary to companies that host our Sites or send communications on our behalf. These service providers may have access to information about you if it is necessary to perform their services to us, but they are not authorized by us to use or disclose such information except as necessary to perform these services or to comply with legal requirements, and they are required to maintain the information in confidence.

Legally Required. We reserve the right to disclose information if required to do so by law or by a regulatory authority. We may also disclose information as part of an investigation or enforcement action relating to improper or illegal conduct in connection with out Sites or other products, including, without limitation, any situations that may potentially involve threats to the safety or privacy of any person or misuse of our Sites.

Aggregated and Non-Identified Data. We may maintain and use aggregate data or other non-identified information (e.g., information that does not identify a specific individual), such as usage statistics, device data, online traffic patterns, and user feedback. 

SECURITY

The security of your information is important to us. We take precautions to protect your information by implementing safeguards to protect the information we collect. But you should keep in mind that no website or Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. PLEASE NOTE: The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We urge you to take steps to keep your private information secure, such as choosing strong passwords and never sharing your password with anyone else. If you create or receive a password in connection with access to our Sites, please notify us promptly if you believe your password security has been breached, and remember to log off of the Site before you leave your computer or mobile device.

The Sites may offer opportunities to communicate through email. Because normal email is not encrypted, the possibility exists that unauthorized individuals may intercept email messages. EBH, its parents, and affiliates are not responsible for the privacy and security of email messages except those stored in our system. Please do not send any sensitive or personal information or Protected Health Information to us in email unless it is encrypted.

RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

EBH will keep your information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our Site may contain links to other sites that are owned or operated by others. We are not responsible for the privacy and security practices of sites not owned by EBH. We encourage our visitors to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy policy of any site that collects personally identifiable data.

COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)

This Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have collected personal information under applicable law from a child under such age without legally valid parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to remove that information.

CALIFORNIA & DELEWARE “DO NOT TRACK” DISCLOSURES

California and Delaware law require us to indicate whether we honor “Do Not Track” settings in your Web browser concerning targeted advertising. At this time, there is no worldwide uniform or consistent industry standard or definition for responding to, processing, or communicating “Do Not Track” signals. Therefore, like many other websites and online services, we do not currently respond to any “Do Not Track” browser requests.
