Collecting Information on All Site Visitors
Lincare Long Term Care gathers certain generic information with respect to visitors' use of the site. Information such as the number of visitors, the frequency with which they visit and the areas on the site that they favor, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We use this type of data only in aggregate-that is, we look at the data on a collective basis, in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. This collective data helps us determine the extent to which our customers use certain parts of the site, which, in turn, enables us to make the site as appealing as we can for as many of you as possible, providing you with the best possible web experience. These statistical ratings do not contain any personally identifiable information about you or any of our users.
