By accessing or using any Web site operated by the Center for
Connected Health Policy (CCHP), you agree to be bound by this privacy
policy and also by our terms of use. The CCHP privacy policy covers the
Center for Connected Health Policy Web site. Protecting your privacy is
important to us. The following statement will help you understand how
CCHP collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information you may
provide on our Web site.
Unregistered Users
If you are not registered for the Center's mailing list, then we do not
collect any personally identifiable information about you. We do log
your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an
idea of which pages of our Web sites you visit, how long you spend
there, which files you download, and the type of computer and operating
system you use. We aggregate this information to determine which parts
of the sites are being visited most frequently and which files are being
downloaded most often. We collect data on your computer type and
operating system to make sure our Web sites work well with a wide
variety of hardware and software. We do not link your IP address to any
personally identifiable data.
Email List Users
Those who sign up to be on CCHP's mailing list must provide their name
and email address. We also ask for a postal address, your organization's
name and your title. This information is kept strictly confidential.
CCHP's use of this information is strictly limited. We do not share any
information with any other organization. We do not keep personally
identifiable information on user activity on our Web site. CCHP sends
emails to registered users announcing new publications, requests for
proposals, Web site launches, or other CCHP activities. If a registered
user receives a text-format email, we do not track how you use it. If a
user receives an HTML-format email, we track whether the email was
opened and which links the user clicked on, if any. We use this
information to determine the efficacy of our public outreach. At any
time, a registered user may unsubscribe from the email list by clicking
the "unsubscribe" button in any email, or by updating the user's
profile, by clicking the Email Alerts & News button at www.connectedhealthca.org.
Use of Cookies
"Cookies" are small text files a Web site can put on a user's computer
to recognize repeat visitors. CCHP does not use cookies. To improve our
Web site, CCHP uses a third-party vendor to help analyze Web site
traffic. No personally identifiable information is ever shared with the
third-party vendor.
Information Use
Before submitting any personal information, we advise you that the
information submitted will only be used by CCHP to keep you apprised of
new publications, requests for proposals (RFPs), upcoming events, and
other CCHP-related activities. We will not sell your information or
share it with any third party. CCHP does not contract with any
advertising or marketing agencies to gather individual or group profile
information on our visitors based on their personal profile. CCHP does
not host or target for-profit advertising to visitors. CCHP does promote
the work of the Center, as well as its contractors and partners, on its
site.
Security of Information
The security of your personal information is important to us. We
follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information
submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No
method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic
storage, is 100 percent secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to
use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information
in our possession, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you
have any questions about security on our Web site, you can email info@connectedhealthca.org.
