Information Collected Through The Wellness Website
Personal Information
"Personal Information" means information that we can use to identify or contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number or email address. Personal information does not include information that is encoded or anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with Non-Public Personal Information.
When you visit our Website, we do not collect Personal Information about you unless you voluntarily provide Personal Information to us. There are several ways you may voluntarily submit Personal Information on or through the website. These include sending an e-mail inquiry to us, submitting information through the “contact us” link, signing up for a newsletter, or completing a survey. JIB may also invite you to submit personal health stories that may be shared on the Website.
You do not have to provide us with Personal Information if you do not want to; however, that may limit your ability to use certain functions of this Website or to request certain services or information. JIB Medical, P.C. does not request or collect personal health or medical information on or through the Wellness Website, other than when you voluntarily provide it as part of a story you submit.
Non-Personal Information
“Non-Personal Information" means information that does not permit us to specifically identify you by your full name or similar unique identifying information such as a social security number, address or telephone number. JIB Medical, P.C. may use "cookie" technology and similar technology to gather Non-Personal Information from our Website visitors such as which pages are used and how often they are used, and to enable certain features on this Website. You may disable these cookies and similar items by adjusting your browser preferences on your computer at any time; however, this may limit your ability to take advantage of all the features on this Website.

We may also offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. JIB Medical, P.C. may use a system to “tag” users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.
JIB Medical, P.C. does not collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. At this time, JIB Medical, P.C. does not respond to Web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers a choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different Web sites or online services. Third-parties may not collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when a consumer uses the operator's Website or service.
