4.1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files of data that are stored on your computer or device when you visit our Site. Cookies contain Personal Information, such as your preferences, and other data which we use to provide you a more personalized experience and make it easier for you to navigate our Site and services each time you visit.  There are two types of cookies we use to enhance your experience when visiting our website: session and persistent cookies.

  • Session Cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookies that are only active while you are browsing our Site. They are deleted when you close your browser or turn off your device. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you while visiting our website or while you are logged into your account. This allows us to process your online transactions, requests, verify your identity after you have logged in, as well as provide you with a better experience while you navigate our website and explore our services.
  • Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you have closed your browser or turned off your device. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.

We may also use Clear GIFs, Pixels, Tags, and other technologies. A Clear GIF is a small, transparent graphic image that is embedded in a web page or email and is used to track online activity similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly in emails, web and app pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs, or pixel tags), in connection with our website to, among other things, track the activities of Site visitors, help us manage content, and compile data about Site usage and preferences.

  • Cross-Device Use. We may use the Personal Information that we collect about you to help us, and our third-party service providers, identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). We and our third-party service providers also may use the cross-device use and other information we learn about you to serve targeted advertising on your devices and to send you emails. To opt out of cross-device advertising, you may follow the instructions set forth in the “How to Manage Cookies” section below. Please note: if you opt-out of these targeted advertising cookies, your opt-out will be specific to the web browser, app, or device from which you accessed the opt-out.

4.3 How to Manage Cookies

To prevent cookies or third-party advertisers from tracking your activity on our Site or visits across multiple websites, there are tools you can use to disable cookies and opt out of interest-based advertising.

Your opt-out may not be effective if your browser is configured to reject cookies.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe your child has given us information and you did not provide consent, please call us at 888-615-7550 or email us at privacy@srg-llc.com for assistance.

6. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have additional privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”). If we collected Personal Information about you in your role as an applicant, employee, or independent contractor of SRG, please refer to the Employee or Applicant Privacy Notice, this Privacy Policy does not apply to you.

The Right to Know/Access

You may have the right to request more information about how we treated your Personal Information (up to twice per year and subject to certain exemptions), including:

  • The categories of Personal Information we collected;
  • The categories of sources from which we collected that information;
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that information;
  • The categories of third parties with whom we shared that information; and
  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you.

The Right to Delete

Under certain conditions, you have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information. Not all requests to delete can be fulfilled.  If we are unable to comply with your request, we will provide a response explaining why your data cannot be deleted.

The Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information.

The Right to Opt-Out of Sales/Sharing

California residents may have the right to opt-out of “sales” or “sharing” of their Personal Information under the CCPA. CCPA defines a “sale” as disclosing or making Personal Information available to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. CCPA also defines “sharing” as disclosing or making available Personal Information to a third party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose Personal Information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” (as defined by the CCPA) identifiers and internet and electronic network activity information to third-party ad networks. We do so in order to improve and evaluate our advertising campaigns and better reach customers and prospective customers with more relevant ads and content.

To opt out from the sharing or sale of information described above, please click on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” Link on the bottom of the website homepage. Please note that submitting an opt out request will only opt you out of disclosures that are considered “sales” or “sharing” under the CCPA, but it will not opt out of other disclosures, such as to our service providers.

You may also opt-out of “sales” and “sharing” of your Personal Information through the use of an opt-out preference signal. If our website detects that your browser or device is transmitting an opt-out preference signal, such as the “global privacy control” or “GPC” signal, we will opt that browser or device out of cookies on our website that result in a “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information. Please note, if you come to our website from a different device or a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out, or use an opt-out preference signal, for that browser and/or device as well.

We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share any Personal Information about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old.

Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

As further described above, we use certain personal information, such as care level and similar information, to operate our facilities, provide the appropriate level of care to our residents, and provide you with information about other relevant services and facilities. You may have the right to limit our use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You can make a request to limit use/disclosure by clicking on the “Your California Privacy  Choices” link in the footer of our webpage.

Retention

We retain your Personal Information for as long as needed, or permitted, based on the reason we obtained it (consistent with applicable law). When deciding how long to keep your Personal Information, we consider whether we are subject to any legal obligations (e.g., any laws that require us to keep records for a certain period of time before we can delete them) or whether we have taken any legal positions that require data retention (e.g., issued any legal holds or otherwise need to preserve data). From time to time, we may also deidentify your Personal Information, retain it and use it for a business purpose in compliance with CCPA.

Designating an Authorized Agent

You may designate someone to submit requests and act on your behalf (an “Authorized Agent”). To do so, you must provide us with written permission to allow your Authorized Agent to act on your behalf.
