Your Right to Privacy
Website Privacy Policy
This is how we handle information we learn about you from your visit to our website. Please check back to this policy frequently because we may modify it at any time without notice. The use of the Evangelical website is governed by the Terms and Conditions of Use. If you do not agree to the terms of our privacy policy or the Terms and Conditions of Use, please do not use this website.
Privacy Statement
Personal information submitted by you to the Evangelical Community Hospital (“Evangelical”) website, or collected by Evangelical as a result of your visit to our website, will be considered private and held in confidence. We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal data from misuse, unauthorized access, and alteration. In addition, we will not sell, rent, trade, or give away personal information to any third party for use in selling products or services without your consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Evangelical may, without your consent, reveal your data to third parties including third party affiliates, billing companies, and business partners that may require information to invoice for a product or service. For instance, we may hire outside vendors to assist with the administration of charitable pledges or contributions to Evangelical, and these vendors would require access to information that you submit through this website to perform their jobs. These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purpose
In addition, Evangelical will disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Evangelical on the website; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Evangelical, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of this website or the public.
As the healthcare industry is a volatile one, we note that over time Evangelical might consider any number of business transactions with third parties, and in transactions, information about and submitted through this website will generally be made available to the other part(ies) with whom we negotiate. Also, in the unlikely event that Evangelical or substantially all of its assets are acquired, information submitted through this website will be one of the transferred assets.
The Evangelical website contains links to other sites. Evangelical does not endorse, approve, certify, or control these other websites, and we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, efficacy, or timeliness of the information contained on these sites. Evangelical is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such websites. Any information you provide to one of these other websites will be governed by the privacy policy of that website. We therefore strongly recommend that you refer to each website’s privacy policy before giving out any personal information on their site.
What Information We Collect
Evangelical may collect such personal information as your name, address, date of birth, phone number, e-mail address, IP address, web browsing preferences, and resume information.
Why We Collect Information
Evangelical may use the collected personal information for the purpose of providing personalized services, for class registrations, for communicating separately with you (e.g., answering questions which you have submitted to us), for reviewing in connection with current job openings, for submission of charitable pledges and contributions to Evangelical, and for our internal mailing list. This personal information is not shared with any third party outside of Evangelical other than our website hosting and maintenance subcontractors.
How We Collect Information
Evangelical primarily collects information through the question submission forms offered on our site. We use cookie technology to track user trends and patterns to better understand our user base and improve the quality of our services. A cookie is a small data file that websites may write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. A cookie can tell us, “This is the same computer that visited Evangelical two days ago,” but it cannot tell us, “This person is Joe Smith” or even, “This person lives in the United States.” You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware, however, that some parts of the Evangelical site may not function properly if you refuse cookies.
How We Protect Information
We offer the use of a secure server. The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. We also take steps to protect the data we collect from unauthorized access or use.
Email Communication
We do not rent or sell email addresses to third parties for unsolicited communications.
Spamming
By using this website, you agree that you will not utilize any email addresses available to you through this website to transmit unsolicited messages.
Children's Privacy Policy (Under the Age of 13)
Evangelical takes children’s privacy seriously. We do not seek to collect personal information about children through our website. If we become aware that a person submitting personal information to us through any part of our website is a child, we delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties. Since we do not seek to collect any personal information about children, and we delete information collected inadvertently as soon as we discover that a child has submitted it, we typically retain no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of information about their child before we have discovered and deleted the information, we will of course honor that request.
