Privacy Statement Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation, Inc. is the organization that produces the official website of Bereavement Services (the "Website"). We are committed to safeguarding your privacy online. This Privacy Policy is applicable to this Website. General You can visit and enjoy the Website without disclosing any personal information about yourself. However, we offer some special services and products for families who have experienced perinatal loss. To order such special services and products, we will need you to share with us certain personal information about yourself. If you submit any personal information to us, or to our third party vendors acting on our behalf, you can be assured that we will not sell, lease, or share your personal information with or to anyone else, except: (1) to our third party service vendors, and only so that they may help us provide the special services and products you have requested; (2) to Gundersen Clinic, Ltd., Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, Inc. and other Gundersen Lutheran Health System affiliates involved in the care and treatment of you and your family; and (3) to Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation, Inc. so that it can send you information about the medical education, medical research and other philanthropic activities of that organization. Cookies. To help us serve you better, we collect information that does not identify you personally, but rather identifies your computer or browser. This is done by using little files called "cookies" and by tracking IP addresses. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a Website's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies operate in the background, and you can turn them off if you wish, but doing so may impair your ability to use some of the features on the Website. We may use cookies to make the Website work better by, for example, keeping track of your login name, password and, if you want to buy things while on the Website, your "shopping cart." We may also allow our third party vendors acting on our behalf to set and access cookies on your computer. Those third party vendors’ use of cookies will be covered by their own privacy policies, not ours. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to accept or reject cookies. If you set your browser not to accept cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of certain special services and products on the Website. We may also use IP addresses to analyze trends, help us administer the Website, track the movement of visitors, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Aggregated Demographic Information. We may share aggregated demographic information with third parties, but this information is not linked to any personal information that can identify you or another individual person. Therefore, no personal information is disclosed in this manner. Business Transfers. Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation, Inc. reserves the right to sell and/or license some or all of the assets and business of Bereavement Services. This could result in the transfer of customer information. If this occurs, the customer information which we have gathered may be one of the business assets transferred. Disclosure for Legal Purposes. The law requires that we may be required to share your personal information and non-personal information (see "Cookies" section above for examples of non-personal information) pursuant to judicial or governmental subpoenas, warrants or orders. If we are required to do so, we will, of course, obey the law. In addition, notwithstanding any term to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we reserve the right to use and disclose your personal and non-personal information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the terms governing the use of this Website, or as otherwise required by law. Our Security Practices Your preferences are password protected for your privacy and security. In certain areas, we use industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions. How You Can Review Your Personal Information If you want to review your personal information, you can revise your preferences. Your preferences include your shipping, payment and account information, as well as whether you want to receive communications from us. If you want to close your account with us and have us delete the personal information in it (except for information that we keep for record-keeping purposes), you should contact us at the telephone number, street address, or e-mail address set forth below. Choice Our registration and order forms contain a box for you to indicate whether or not you consent to receive special offers, promotions and solicitations from us. Unless you give us your consent to use your personal information for these purposes, we will only use it to complete the transaction or provide the service or product you have requested. If you indicate that you consent to receive communications or solicitations, but you later change your mind, you can revise your preferences. Links The Website contains links to other sites for affiliates in the Gundersen Lutheran Health System. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites. We encourage you to be aware of this when your leave the Website and to read the privacy policies of every website that collects personally identifiable information from you. The Privacy Policy applies only to this Website. Contact Us If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at: Notification of Changes If we decide to make an important change to our Privacy Policy, we will post a notification and link on our homepage so that you can review the updated policy. If at any point we wish to use your personal information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify you by means of an e-mail and give you the opportunity to indicate whether you consent to the proposed use. |
