When you browse www.findatop doc.com and do not interact with the Site for any online service or product from the Today’s Nurse, you browse anonymously. Personally identifiable information such as your name, address, phone number and email address, etc., is not collected as you browse. If you register or enroll to use Today’s Nurse services, we collect and store Personal Information that specifically identifies you or your account. At this time, the most information you would be required to submit is your first name, middle name, last name, User ID, password, street address, city, state, zip/postal code, country, phone number, email address, date of birth, and gender. Other information requested by Today’s Nurse is optional. We may, in the future, include other optional requests for information from you to help us to tailor the Site for you and deliver personalized information to you. Without your consent, we will not share, rent or sell any Personal Information with third parties in any way other than what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

Automatically Gathered Information

Today’s Nurse automatically collects browser type and browser software version to tailor the presentation of the Site and the Site services to the Visitor’s or User’s platform and to maintain a record of the User’s or Visitor’s activity on the Site. As an automatic process, our Web server software records a log file of IP addresses that access the Site. We also collect IP address information but do not ordinarily link IP addresses to Users’ Personal Information. However, we can and will use IP addresses to identify a User when we, in our sole discretion, determine that it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Terms & Conditions or to protect our service, Sits, customers or others. Further, we may collect additional information from or about you in other ways not specifically described here. For example, we may collect information related to your contact with the Today’s Nurse Customer Service when you respond to a survey.

Tracking Tools

The Tracking Tools that we may use and how we may use them include:

Cookies

Cookies are small text files a website creates when you visit a site. There are two common types of cookies, “session cookie” and “persistent cookie”. Session cookie is created by a website when that website is accessed and it is automatically deleted by closing the web browser. A persistent cookie is a cookie that is stored on the hard drive of the user’s computer for a period of time chosen by the website that set the cookie, usually for a number of years, unless the user deletes it manually. The use of cookies is an industry standard and cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer.

We use cookies as a part of the log-in process. If you choose to reject cookies from our Site, you may not be able to log-in and use all the functions and services on the Site. We also use cookies to learn how all our visitors navigate throughout the various parts of the Web site. This website tracking data is used in the aggregate to help us provide the most efficient service and navigational tools for our visitors. Cookies can also make your use of the Site easier by saving log-in preferences. You can indicate whether or not you wish to have your log-in preferences save by checking the “Remember Me” box at registration. If this option is checked, persistent cookies are used to store your log-in information so that you will not need to enter your log-in id each time you visit the Site. If this option is not selected you may need to re-enter your log-in information every time you visit the Site.

Web Beacons

“Web Beacons” (a.k.a. clear GIFs or pixel tags) are tiny graphic image files imbedded in a web page or email that may be used to collect anonymous information about your use of our Services, the websites of selected advertisers and the emails, special promotions or newsletters that we send you. The information collected by Web Beacons allows us to monitor how many people are using the Services, using the selected advertisers' websites or opening our emails, and for what purpose, and also allows us to enhance our interest-based advertising.

Website Analytics

We may use third-party website analytics services in connection with the Services, including, for example, to record mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity and text that you type into the Site. These website analytics services generally do not collect Personal Information unless you voluntarily provide it and generally do not track your browsing habits across websites which do not use their services. We use the information collected from these services to help make the Services easier to use and as otherwise set forth in Section 6 (Use of Information).

Mobile Device Identifiers

Mobile device identifiers are data stored on your mobile device that can be used to track your mobile device and data and activities occurring on and through it, as well as the applications installed on it. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of Personal Information (such as media access control, address and location) and Traffic Data. As with other Tracking Tools, mobile device identifiers help Today’s Nurse learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors.

OPTIONS FOR OPTING OUT

Some web browsers (including some mobile web browsers) allow you to reject Cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device. You may be able to reject mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device. Although you are not required to accept Today’s Nurse Cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through the Services.

You may opt out of receiving certain Cookies and certain trackers by visiting: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en

Please note that opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see Today’s Nurse advertisements; rather, opting out means that the advertisements that you do see are not interest-based advertisements. Also, opting out does not mean that Today’s Nurse is no longer using Tracking Tools -- Today’s Nurse still may collect information about your use of the Services even after you have opted out of interest-based advertisements.
