1. What Information is Collected?

Demographic Information
For some activities, your mobile web browser or client software may transmit certain geographic information or information regarding your mobile device to Island Spine. We may use that information to generate aggregate statistics about our user community and may provide that information to advertisers and other parties with whom we have a business relationship. In addition, Island Spine Center may use any such information for security, system integrity (the prevention of hacking, cheating and other improper or unlawful activities), or enforcement purposes.

When you visit this Website, we may, at our option, automatically collect and store the following types of non-personally identifiable information received from you:​

• Information from server logs found on your browser;

• Click-through statistics;

• Website traffic and behavioral usage;

• Your Country;

• The Type of  Web Browser you are using to access this Website;

• The Type of Handset Device and Mobile Operating System you are using (e.g., Android, iPhone, etc.)

 

Island Spine Center only uses this data in aggregate form, for statistical purposes, and not in a manner that would give us sufficient information to identify you personally. Automatically collected information of that kind typically provides us with a greater understanding regarding the use of this Website, including which pages are the most popular with our visitors, what types of content, offers and products our visitors are interested in, where they are generally located and what are their general mobile browsing behavioral patterns. That information also allows us to determine if this Website is working properly, make changes to the Website that allows users to have better experiences on the Website, and improve the Website, our offers and promotional content so that they are more relevant to our visitors. We collect that information and track it for statistical purposes; we do not use it to identify or to market to a particular user, making us also compliant with HIPAA requirements as well. 

This information may be shared with fulfillment partners and other third parties on an aggregated basis, but it does not include the Personal Information of individual users (defined below). 

• Pixel Tags, also known as clear GIF or web beacon, is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of the Website but not on your device. When you access these pages, pixel tags generate a generic notic of that visit. They usually work when a particular device visits a particular page. The Island Spine Center uses pixel tags for website analytics to serve you more relevant content and promotional offers, when applicable, based on your historical behavioral patterns. 
   

• Your network service provider normally assigns a dynamic IP address to you every time you use your mobile browser. We collect your mobile device’s IP address in order to conduct system administration, Mobile Site analysis, block devices that are intending to hack or otherwise damage our Mobile Site, and identify devices which may be engaged in illegal or illicit activity on our Mobile Site. While we do not associate IP addresses with records containing Personal Information, we will use IP addresses to identify any user who engages in misconduct or otherwise violates any applicable laws. Additionally, we may be required to disclose IP addresses pursuant to a court order or subpoena. Island Spine may also identify and track your Internet protocol (“IP”) address. An IP address is the unique number assigned to your server or internet service provider (“ISP”). Island Spine may track those IP addresses for system administration purposes, to report aggregate information, site tracking, security purposes, or to prevent our data and servers from being damaged.
