Security Of Personal Information
We endeavor to protect the Personal Information you entrust to us and treat it securely by placing appropriate technical, physical and administrative security measures to protect the confidentiality of your Personal Information and to protect the Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and which provide a level of security appropriate to the risk represented by the processing and the nature of the data to be protected. In the event we share your Personal Information with third parties, we ensure that those third parties have effective controls to protect the privacy of your Personal Information, and we restrict the ability or manner in which a third party may use or disclose your Personal Information. We also require such third parties to have appropriate security measures to protect Personal Information.
While we employ security technologies and procedures to assist safeguarding your Personal Information, no system or network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and we do not guarantee its security. The safety and security of your Personal Information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You are solely responsible for all uses of your password, even if such uses were not authorized by you. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password, you are responsible for contacting us immediately to request deactivation of your password.
Except as required by law, SeaCare is not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such security failures. Transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk (for example, the internet and mobile networks cannot be guaranteed to be secure). If you have any questions about security on our sites, you can contact us directly at compliance@seacarehealth.com.

We may transfer your Personal Information between SeaCare offices in Canada and the U.S. or to third parties as described above and that may be located in various countries around the world. By using our sites and Services or providing any Personal Information to us, where applicable law permits, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of such information outside of your country of residence, where data protection standards may be different.
Retention Of Personal Information
We will retain Personal Information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and any other permissible, related purpose. We will retain and use Personal Information as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements.

If you are a Patient or Consumer, you acknowledge that your use of our Services is solely through your Health Professional and that SeaCare will share Personal Information with your Health Professionals for the purposes of facilitating the provision of Services to you on behalf of your Health Professional. Your use of the sites is also subject to your Health Professionals’ privacy policies; please contact your Health Professionals if you have any questions about their policies or terms.

Use Of Cookies And Other Web Technologies
Like many websites, SeaCare uses automatic data collection tools, such as cookies, embedded web links, and web beacons, to collect traffic and usage patterns, and to help us personalize the Services. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our sites. Examples include your browser type and the address of the website from which you arrived at our website. We automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, including IP addresses, cookie information, browsing history, and the SeaCare website pages requested. We utilize this information so that we can improve the SeaCare website, our product selection, and the Services.
Cookies may also collect information about:
- Your IP address. This is a number automatically assigned to your computer or device whenever you connect to the Internet. Among other things, the IP address allows web servers to locate and identify your device for the purpose of facilitating online communications between you and other parties you engage with on the Internet.
- Clickstream behavior. This includes, for example, the pages you view and the links you click. These tools help make your visit to our website easier, more efficient, and more valuable by providing you with a customized experience and recognizing you when you return.
Our site also may include widgets. Widgets are interactive mini-programs that run on our site to provide specific services from other companies. Information collected by a widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created the widget.
Some web browsers may give you the ability to enable a “do not track” feature that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different from blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with a “do not track” feature enabled may still accept cookies. No industry standard currently exists on how companies should respond to “do not track” signals, although one may develop in the future. SeaCare’s site functionality is not currently able to recognize and respond to “do not track” signals. To learn more about “do not track” signals, visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com.
We use third-party web analytics services on our sites, such as Google Analytics. The service providers that administer these services use automated technologies to collect data (such as IP addresses, cookies, and other device identifiers) to evaluate use of our sites. To learn more about Google Analytics and how to opt out of their tool entirely, please visit the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the availability and functionality of the sites and other websites, and may also invalidate opt outs that use cookies to recognize devices that have opted out.
We partner with third parties to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third-party partners may use cookies or similar technologies in order to provide you with SeaCare’s advertising based on your browsing activities and interests. This permits us to reach people who have previously visited our website and show them relevant advertisements when they visit other sites across the internet in the Google Display Network and Facebook Ads platform. You may be able to opt-out of customized Google Display Network ads by visiting the Ads Preferences Manager. To learn how to opt out of interest-based advertising, visit www.aboutads.info/choices and http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. You can also opt out of these third party cookies though the banner when you visit our site.
When you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from SeaCare. It means that the online ads that you do see will not be tailored for you based on your particular interests. We may still collect information about you for any purpose permitted under this Privacy Policy, including for analytics.

We give you the choice of receiving a variety of information related to our Services. You can manage your communication preferences through the following methods:

These choices do not apply to service notifications or other required communications that are considered part of certain Services, which you may receive periodically unless you stop using or cancel the Services in accordance with our Terms of Service.
By using our site, Services, or otherwise providing Personal Information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use. For example, if we learn of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on our websites, by sending an email or otherwise contacting you.
Children’s Privacy
SeaCare does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children without appropriate parental or guardian consent from children under 16.

Additional State Privacy Rights
State consumer privacy laws may provide their residents with additional rights regarding our use of their personal information. To learn more about California consumers’ privacy rights, visit our policy here. If you have any questions regarding state consumer privacy laws, you can contact us directly.
Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who use our Services and provide Personal Information are entitled to request and obtain certain information about the customer information SeaCare shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses.

Nevada consumers have the right to instruct us not to “sell” “covered information” as those terms are defined by Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. We do not currently “sell” “covered information” of Nevada “consumers”, and we have no plans to do so. In the event we choose to sell covered information in the future, we will update this online privacy policy to provide an opportunity for Nevada consumers to be verified and exercise their opt-out rights under that law.
