Privacy Policy
By using this Site, you consent and agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of information in accordance with this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”). This Privacy Policy sets forth Affinity Care MN’s agreement with you with regard to how we will handle information that is transmitted to us via this Site.
You should also read Affinity Care MN’s “Terms of Use” on this website (the “Site”). Policies specifically related to protected health information that we may maintain may be reviewed here: https://www.affinitycaremn.com/terms-of-use.
This policy applies to www.affinitycaremn.com and other Web addresses under the control of Affinity Care MN (Affinity Care).
Information that we collect
​
Affinity Care MN does not lease or sell the personal information you provide to us to any third party.
Affinity Care MN does not automatically collect information that would personally identify you unless you decide to provide it. By way of example and without limitation, if you choose to use one of our online, automated forms on the Site, except as required by law, the information that you provide will be shared only with those people within Affinity Care MN who need this information to respond or to otherwise decide what appropriate action, if any, is to be taken with regard to your communication, those persons within Affinity Care MN that will utilize the information to maintain and improve Affinity Care MN’ operations, and with third-party service providers or suppliers whom we have engaged. In circumstances where we have engaged service providers or suppliers, we will first obtain the agreement from those third parties not to use or disclose your personal information to the extent required by applicable law, except to help us provide services.
Use of personal information by third parties whom we engage may include, by way of example and without limitation, reviewing the information collected through online automated forms to repair or maintain technical functionality or take action with regard to any inappropriate use of the Site.
By way of further example and without limitation, we may use the information we receive and collect for things like:
​
-
Responding to requests for information or services
-
Conducting research and analysis
-
Tailoring advertisements based on interactions with us
-
Operating, evaluating, and improving our business
​
Non-personal information that may be automatically collected by the Web server that hosts the Site may include by way of example and without limitation, (a) the name of the domain and host from which the computer you are using accesses the Internet; (b) the IP address, browser and operating system of the computer that is accessing the Site; and (c) the Internet address of the website from which the browser linked directly to this Site.
​
To help us determine the effectiveness of Affinity Care MN’ advertising, we may use third-party hosted analytics tools that receive non-personal information from a visitor’s browser, including but not limited to, the site or the advertisement the visitor originated from, general geographic location, and the pages visited within the Site.
We may also provide third parties with non-personal information such as aggregate statistics about our visitors, traffic patterns, and related site information.
We may retain your information for as long as needed for our operations, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Depending on the nature of your communication, it may be responded to, discarded, and/or archived.
Although we purchase and endeavor to maintain a secure socket layering certificate, the Site does not provide a completely secure and confidential means of communication. It is possible that your communication may be accessed or viewed by another person while in transit to us. If you wish to keep your communication private, do not use email, email links, or automated forms on the Site.
​
​
IP Addresses
​
Each internet protocol address (IP address) of each computer that accesses the Site is automatically collected by the Web server. The IP address is a unique number that is assigned to designate a computer every time the computer is used to access the Internet. Because many different persons can access the Internet via the same computer, and because it is possible to obtain a different IP address for a computer, the IP address does not definitively, conclusively identify the person using the Site. We may use IP addresses in aggregate form to understand how the Site or advertisements from Affinity Care MN are being used and how we may better serve visitors to the Site. However, with the exception of violations of the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, we do not manually review IP addresses in an attempt to investigate and further our efforts to ultimately discover the identity of the person that has used the Site.
​
​
Tracking and Cookies
​
We do not presently use cookies on our site. However, third-party cookies may be used at certain websites accessible through links on our Site. The use of third-party cookies, Web beacons and similar technologies by any third-party ad network provider is governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one.
​
​
Privacy Measures
​
We endeavor to use reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information under our control and appropriately limit access to it. We purchase and endeavor to maintain a secure socket layering (SSL) certificate to provide encryption technology in an effort to protect transmitted information. However, Affinity Care MN cannot warrant, guarantee or otherwise ensure the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Although we take reasonable steps to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide, electronic transmissions via the Internet are not necessarily secure from interception, and we cannot absolutely guarantee the security or confidentiality of such transmissions.
To further protect your privacy, you may choose to not utilize the automated forms available on the Site, not use the email hyperlinks on the Site and not otherwise use the Site.
​
Protection of Privacy of Children
We are committed to protecting children’s privacy on the Internet, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
​
​

The Site contains links to other websites, many of which have their own unique Privacy Policies and Terms of Use. Be sure to review those policies and terms should you choose to visit those websites. Affinity Care MN does not endorse and is not responsible for the information practices or privacy policies of third-party websites that may be linked to or from our Site.
