So we’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, and store your information.This statement outlines the policies and practices of Gittleson Zuppas Medical Realty (“GZ”, “we” or “us”) regarding the collection and use of our users’ personal information during your visit to www.gzrealty.net or any other websites owned or operated by Gittleson Zuppas Medical Realty (the “Site” or “Sites”). By using the Sites or the services provided through this Site (the “Services”), you acknowledge that we may collect information about you, and use and disclose such information as described in this Privacy Policy. Your use of the Site or Services indicates your acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy.THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE HOSTED IN THE UNITED STATES. IF YOU ARE A USER ACCESSING THE SITE OR SERVICES FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION, ASIA, OR ANY OTHER REGION WITH LAWS OR REGULATIONS GOVERNING PERSONAL DATA COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE THAT DIFFER FROM UNITED STATES LAWS, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THROUGH YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, WHICH IS GOVERNED BY UNITED STATES LAW AND THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU ARE TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE UNITED STATES, AND YOU CONSENT TO THAT TRANSFER. ADDITIONALLY, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED IN COUNTRIES (INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES) WHERE LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE DIFFERENT OR LESS STRINGENT THAN IN YOUR HOME JURISDICTION.Collecting and personal information useWhen you visit and navigate our sites and when you communicate with us via our sites, we will not collect personal information about you, such as your name, company name, e-mail address and telephone number, unless you provide us with that information voluntarily. This means that we will not know your Personal Information (defined as data that is unique to an individual or organization, such as a name, organization name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number) just because you browse our Sites unless you have provided it to us. In some cases, and in all cases where required by law or regulation, you will be able to update the information that you provide to us either by sending us an e-mail.General Information CollectedTo monitor site usage and improve the quality of our Sites, we gather general information about the use of our Sites. We use web server logs and industry-standard website statistics software to count the number of users who visit our Sites and to count the number of views of particular pages, as well as to track other general statistics about our Sites.Automated InformationUsing technologies that are widely used on the Internet, such as cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and other technologies, we also may automatically collect information about your computer or mobile device and online activity when you access the Services. For example, we may collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your operating system, and browser type, as well as information about which pages you visit and the page, if any, that referred you to our Sites or that you visit our sites. Similarly, when you use our mobile applications, we may collect information about your mobile devices, such as the type of mobile device you use or your device identifier.Most browsers have an option to reject or disable cookies, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. Although you can block cookies and similar technology, your experience of the Site and Services could be affected by doing so. Please be aware that this will disable all cookies delivered to your browser, not just the ones that we deliver.Pixel tags are not visible to the user of the Site and consist of a few lines of computer code. Pixel tags are not used to collect any personally identifiable information about you. Our Sites use pixel tags to track the aggregate number of page views made on our Sites by all Site visitors. Our email service provider uses pixel tags to determine your ability to receive HTML-based email messages. This capability helps our service provider send email in a format you can read. The sensor does not collect or use any other information. Pixel tags also allow us to know how many users open an email and allow our service provider to compile aggregated statistics about an email campaign for us.We also may use technologies called web beacons that communicate information from your Internet browser to a web server. Web beacons can be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, and can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the web beacon, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the web beacon was viewed. We use web beacons for a variety of purposes, including analyzing the use of the Services and in conjunction with cookies to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you. You may disable our web beacons in email messages by turning off images in your email client (e.g., Outlook, Outlook Express). Please see the instructions for your particular email client for more information. Please also be aware that by turning off images you may not be able to enjoy all of the Services as they were designed to be viewed.Location InformationWhen you use the Services, we may collect information about your location separately from your address or other information that you provide to us explicitly. For instance, we may use the GPS feature of your mobile device or your IP address to help determine your geographic location. If you prefer that we not know your geographic location, you will have the option to disable the function when you first use the service in which we collect information about your location (or later, if your mobile device allows you to change the settings after initial download).How we respond to Do Not Track SignalsDo Not Track, or DNT is a concept that has been promoted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites.Currently, various browsers (including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari) offer a DNT option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header; this technology sends a signal to websites visited by the browser user about the user’s DNT preference. You can usually access your browser’s DNT option in your browser’s preferences. These browsers allow you to tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so our systems may not recognize Do Not Track headers or signals from some or all browsers. If you block or delete cookies, not all of the tracking that we have described in this Privacy Notice will stop. For information about Do Not Track, visit www.allaboutdnt.org.Information Collected from SurveysWe may conduct online surveys via pop-up windows on our Sites. Participation in such surveys is voluntary and you may decline to participate. In general, the data collected in such surveys will be used by Gittleson Zuppas Medical Realty and not shared with any third parties.Emails/NewslettersWe welcome your comments or questions about our websites and have provided e-mail boxes for that purpose.
