Types of Information Gathered from Website Visitors

Like most website operators, as you navigate the Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as your browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting this non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how visitors use our website. This information helps us improve our Website and deliver a better user experience, including by enabling us to estimate our audience size and usage patterns. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our Website.

We may also collect potentially personally-identifying information about you and the details of your visit to our Website, including location data, the resources that you use and access on our Website, and information about your computer and internet connection, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and operating system. This information also helps us improve our Website and deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to store information about your preferences, speed up your searches, and recognize when you return to our Website.  We only disclose potentially personally-identifying information under the same circumstances as we do with respect to personally-identifying information as described below.

The technologies we use for data collection may include the following:

By continuing to navigate our website without changing your cookie settings, you hereby acknowledge and agree to our use of cookies.

Certain visitors to our Website choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who wish to receive more information about our senior living options to provide a name, telephone number, and email address.
