Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Life Care Services, Inc. (“Life Care Services,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit lifecareservicesnyc.com (the “Website”) or contact us through it.
This policy covers the Website only. Health information we receive while providing home care services is protected under federal and New York law and is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you use a form on the Website we receive what you type, such as:
- Contact form: name, email address, phone number and your message.
- Enroll / referral form: client name and address, guardian name, phone number, email, whether we may text you, the client’s diagnosis, the client’s doctor, OPWDD status, care coordination organization and care manager details, and the services you are interested in.
- Caregiver orientation quizzes: name, phone number, your answers and your score.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider receives technical data when pages load — for example your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the date and time. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not sell or rent personal information.
Your browser. The Website remembers the language you choose in your browser’s local storage. This stays on your device and is not sent to us.
