What information do we collect?
(a) Information you provide to us.
We and our third party service providers (“Contractors”) may collect certain information from or about you in connection with your use of, or your submissions directly to us or via the Site (together, “Collected Information”), including, but not limited to, your name, company name, e-mail address, mailing address and telephone number. In addition, we and our Contractors may retain the content of, and metadata regarding, any correspondence you may have with us or our representatives, regardless of the mode of communication by which such correspondence was made.
(b) Information collected via technology.
The servers used to host and operate the Site may collect certain data pertaining to you, including data regarding the equipment and communications method that you use to access the Site, and your activities on our Site. We and our Contractors may combine components of this data with Collected Information, which may identify you. Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, such data (which is also deemed “Collected Information” hereunder) will be used solely for our business purposes.
In addition, the Collected Information may reveal such things as the Internet protocol (“IP”) address assigned to your computer, specific pages that you access on the Site or prior to or after visiting the Site, and the length of time you spend at the Site. We and our Contractors may use this information to help administer the Site and the servers that provide the Site, generate statistical information, monitor and analyze Site traffic and usage patterns, and improve the Site’s content and content delivery, including any online content, materials, and services that we describe or make available on the Site.

Pages of our the Site and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs. pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit Midtown Health, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail and for other related Site statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain Site content and verifying system and server integrity).
Do Not Track. Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals. “Do Not Track” is a proposed universal mechanism that enables consumers to opt-out of tracking by websites they do not visit. Once the Internet industry has settled on standards related to this issue and Midtown Health recognizes such standards, we may reevaluate this approach.
