Online Behavioral Advertising ("OBA") Notice

In order to provide you with a better, more personal experience on our Site, Press Ganey (“PG”) uses an Online Behavioral Advertising BA platform called Eloqua to identify how we can better serve your interests. Through Eloqua, PG asks for and maintains the personally identifiable information provided by you to deliver certain services or information to you. “Personally Identifiable Information” means any information that identifies you personally, including, without limitation, your name, e-mail address, password, login ID and other contact information that you voluntarily submit to us.

Information Gathered

PG will gather information such as what kind of browser you are on, what operating system you are using, your IP address, cookie information, time stamp (time page accessed as well as time spent per web page) and your click stream information (for example, which pages you have viewed and how long you have been there).

PG automatically receives and records such information on our server logs from your browser.

Cookies

PG employs cookies in order for its server to recognize you as a return visitor and unique user. Cookies are small text files placed in the “Cookies” folder on your hard disk and allow PG to remember you. The cookies placed are readable only by PG, and cookies cannot access, read or modify any other data on a computer. All web browsers offer the option to refuse any cookie. If you refuse the cookie, PG does not gather any information on you, but doing so will require you to re-enter certain information at each visit, or prevent us from customizing the site's features according to your preferences. You may also delete a cookie manually from your hard drive. Cookies themselves do not contain any personal information. We do link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
