This Website Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes our practices related to personal information Northside Hospital, Inc. (“Northside”, “we”, “our”, “us”) may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit Northside websites, including subdomains, that link to this Privacy Policy (e.g., northside.com) (the “Sites”).
This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites or subdomains owned or maintained by Northside that do not link to this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to protected health information regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). To understand how we may use and disclose protected health information, please review our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Personal information is information linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable individual.
We may collect the following kinds of personal information when you use the Sites:
Personal Information You Provide to Us. We collect personal information you provide directly to us through the Sites. For example, we collect personal information when you subscribe to notifications; register for an event; apply to a job, fellowship, or volunteer position; make a donation; or transact or otherwise communicate with us through the Sites. This personal information may include contact information (e.g., your first and last name, email address, home address, telephone number, date of birth), volunteer or job application information, and payment method information (such as for donations). We may combine such information with information we already have about you.
Information Collected Through Cookies. The Sites use cookies, pixels, beacons, APIs, and other similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”). These Cookies collect certain data when you access or use the Sites in order to function and provide services to you or to us. This data may include location information, IP address, device identifier, browser type, domain name, operating system, information about your use of the Sites, internet service provider, pages that you visit before and after using the Sites, the date and time of your visit, information about the links you click and pages you view within the Sites, and other standard server log information. We and our vendors use Cookies for various purposes, such as for performance (such as to load the Sites faster), to enable certain features to work on the Sites (such as the Northside location finder), for analytics (such as to measure how visitors use the Sites), and to conduct advertising. Cookies vary on the Sites depending on the web page. Please note that we or third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different devices and online properties when you use the Sites. We may combine data collected through Cookies with other information we obtain about you, which may include information we obtain from third parties.
We may implement data modification and obfuscation tools provided by technology vendors to help us limit how certain information may be collected through Cookies. These tools function as an intermediary between the Sites and Cookies, and allow us to adjust how Cookies interact with the Sites.
You may be able to manage certain Cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Please be aware that if you disable or remove Cookies, some parts of the Sites may not work properly. For any choices you make regarding Cookies, you will have to exercise these choices per website, application, browser, or device. We are not responsible for the opt out or settings tools provided by third parties, including their functionality.
Information from Other Sources. We also may obtain personal information about you from other sources, such as other non-profit organizations, and combine this information with the information we collect about you. For example, you may provide your personal information to our donation processor, which may collect personal information about you, and may provide some or all of it to us (e.g., informing us that you donated). We are not responsible for the privacy statements or practices of third parties or on any other websites or online services that we do not control. You should review their privacy policies before using such services.
We use and disclose (to our agents, vendors, consultants, or other third parties) personal information about you for various purposes, such as to operate the Sites, process your volunteer applications, facilitate your donations, and to deliver the content and services you request. In addition, we may use or disclose personal information about you for other lawful purposes, including to:
We also may disclose your personal information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any proposed or actual merger, purchase, sale, or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of our assets, or any transfer of all or a portion of our business to another company. We reserve the right to transfer any personal information we obtain through the Sites in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a merger, reorganization, or liquidation).
Additionally, we may disclose personal information when required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal processes; in response to activities that are unlawful or a violation of our rules for use of the Sites; or to protect and defend our rights or property.
The Sites may include hyperlinks to, technologies from, and integrated features provided by, other websites, online locations, platforms, or services that are not owned or operated by Northside. For example, the Sites may make available to you an interactive assistance chat feature provided by our vendor. When you participate with interactive chat features, either with a virtual or live agent, the contents of the chat or search may be captured and kept as a transcript. Additionally, we may use vendor services to process fellowship, volunteer, or job applications, as well as facilitate donations. For example, the job application process may involve links, technologies, and integrated features provided by our vendor, which may present the vendor’s privacy notices applicable to you. Our vendors may process the information obtained through links and features to provide services on our behalf. Your use of these links or interactive features is voluntary.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to those online services, which may have their own privacy policies or notices that you should review to understand how they may collect, use, disclose, or otherwise process your personal information. Northside is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any linked online services that it does not control.
The Sites also may provide links to other online services operated by Northside and/or our subsidiaries, brands, or affiliates, but that are not subject to this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on all linked online services.
We take reasonable measures to help protect personal information collected through the Sites from loss, theft, misuse, and other unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information collected through our Sites.
If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect, including personal information, will be transferred to, and processed in, the United States. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at our discretion. We will indicate such changes by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy; your continued use of the Sites after any update to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of the changes.
