What Personal Information Do We Collect?

Visiting: You are not required to provide personally identifiable information to visit the SeniorHousingGuide.us site. We do collect usage data, ZIP codes and other information on all users, but it is not personally identifiable except as described below under the section IP addresses.

Registration, Service Requests and Web Forms: You may be asked to provide personal information to use certain services on this site, which will be apparent from the forms we ask you to complete. When you request more information, use one of our other interactive services, or enter a contest, we may request specific information about you, including your name, age, address and phone number, as well as demographic and vehicle information. To use one of our other interactive services, or enter a contest, you must be 18 years of age or older and agree to the Terms and Conditions of the Web site.

Cookies: Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive by our computers (or servers) to identify your computer. Cookies are read only by the server that placed them there and are unable to execute any code or virus. We use cookies to recognize you when you visit our site, to personalize your experience and generally to serve you better. For example, if you enter your name, address or ZIP code on one of our forms, it may be stored in a cookie so you do not have to enter it again. Cookies also can tell us what advertising you have seen on our site, which allows us to offer you a more diverse selection of advertising information. Cookies also may compile data about our visitors that may be shared with other companies, such as an outside advertising company. However, no personally identifiable information stored in cookies will be shared with outside companies for any purpose without your permission. You can disable cookies or otherwise manage them through tools provided with your browser software and with third-party software packages. If you turn off cookies, many SeniorHousingGuide.us features will not work as well or at all. IP addresses: SeniorHousingGuide.us compiles IP addresses — the location of your computer on the Internet — for administrative and analytical purposes. SeniorHousingGuide.us does not routinely collect any personally identifiable information through its compilation of your IP address or the location of your computer on the Internet. However, in cases of suspected abuse or service problems, we may use an IP address in conjunction with other personally identifiable information to enforce our terms of service and to protect or troubleshoot the service, the site, its users or others who may be affected. No personally identifiable information associated with IP addresses will be shared with third parties for marketing purposes without your permission.

How Do We Use the Information We Collect?

Site Interaction: The information you provide on our site may be stored on our servers or, in some cases, in a cookie on your computer. This information will be used to compile aggregate data that is not personally identifiable and may be used internally or shared with third parties. This information may also be used to confirm and fulfill a request you are making, to follow up on that request and to communicate with you about the SeniorHousingGuide.us service. The messages that SeniorHousingGuide.us sends for these purposes may incidentally include promotional material or other content from SeniorHousingGuide.us or its partners. In the case of these messages, we are not sharing your personally identifiable information with third parties, nor will we continue to send you promotional messages if you ask us not to, as described below in the Section entitled “Accessing, changing or deactivating information collected by SeniorHousingGuide.us.”

Direct Promotion: Using the contact information provided by registrants 18 years of age and older, including e-mail addresses, SeniorHousingGuide.us, its affiliates, or third parties to whom SeniorHousingGuide.us discloses such information in accordance with this privacy policy (including its partners or advertisers) may periodically send you promotional or informational messages. In any case where we might use your contact information for this purpose, you will be able to indicate at registration whether you wish to receive such promotional or informational messages. However, by providing us your personal contact information when you register or request specific services, you agree that SeniorHousingGuide.us may contact you regarding account status, changes to this privacy policy or other terms of service, and to confirm, fulfill and follow up on your registration, service or information request.

Visitor Behavior: SeniorHousingGuide.us may perform statistical analyses of user behavior in order to measure interest in the various areas of our site, for development purposes, and to inform advertisers and partners about consumers who click on their advertising or other messages. In these analyses, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form, except as specified below. We also may use personally identifiable information to improve your experience while you are visiting our site. This might include pre-filling your personal information into Web forms so that you do not have to retype it or presenting you with editorial and advertising content that may be of interest.

With Whom Do We Share the Information We Collect?

SeniorHousingGuide.us will share personally identifiable information with third parties in the following cases:

  1. With affiliates for whom we provide Web sites. If you entered the SeniorHousingGuide.us Web site through a site maintained by one of these affiliates, then your personally identifiable information may be shared with that affiliate on the condition that the affiliate’s use of the information is consistent with this privacy policy.
  2. As is necessary for third parties to provide information or perform services specifically requested by you. If through SeniorHousingGuide.us you request additional information from an apartment community or property manager, we will share your information with those companies. Personally identifiable information that you have supplied may also be included in reports to these third parties. Once information is provided to these third parties, SeniorHousingGuide.us is not responsible for the use of this information.
  3. For direct marketing purposes, but only if you have authorized SeniorHousingGuide.us to do so and only if you are 18 years of age or older. Although SeniorHousingGuide.us will notify all third party direct marketers that the information provided to them is confidential, SeniorHousingGuide.us does not and cannot control the use or disclosure of information by such marketers after the information is provided to them.
  4. To perform analytical and other services as an agent of SeniorHousingGuide.us. In some cases we may work with third parties that do analysis and development on our behalf. We may share your personally identifiable information with such a third party on the condition that the third party maintains the information as confidential and only uses the information to perform the services specified by SeniorHousingGuide.us.
  5. During the processing of transactions involving a credit card, we transmit your credit card number to the appropriate credit card company or bank. In addition, if customers do not pay us for products or services ordered, we may submit their account information to a third party collection agency.

E-mail a Friend

SeniorHousingGuide.us sometimes offers you the ability to send e-mail to a friend or other third party. E-mail a Friend functionality is for informational purposes only and may not be used for any unlawful purpose. This includes all harassment or threats. SeniorHousingGuide.us expressly reserves the right to release information you provide through use of this functionality (including but not limited to e-mail addresses, names and IP addresses) to third parties in any case of suspected abuse or other problems, in order to enforce our terms of service and to protect or troubleshoot the service, the site, its users or others who may be affected. Information collected under the “e-mail a friend” functionality is otherwise subject to the same limitations of use, access, security and disclosure described elsewhere in this privacy policy.

Security

We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the internet.
