A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. The information we collect in this manner may include your IP address, unique device identifier, web browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, location information, referring URLs, pages visited, clickstream data, and dates and times of visits.

Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. Note, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of our Sites. For mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share location data and certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. Our Sites are not designed to respond to “do not track” signals from browsers.

If you are a Professional, we may share your information with third parties seeking to engage the services of Professionals (i.e., independent third-party medical facilities). We also may share information we obtain with insurance providers or our business partners.

In addition, we may disclose personal information (1) if we are required to do so by law or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena); (2) in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities; (3) to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights; (4) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical or other harm or financial loss; (5) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (6) otherwise with your consent.

We reserve the right to transfer any personal information we have about you in connection with a prospective or actual sale, merger, transfer or other reorganization of all or parts of our business or assets (including in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation).
