We retain the right to automatically collect and temporarily store only the following information about your visit:

The internet address or URL of the website visited immediately prior to visiting MMG digital media, but only if you connect to MMHS via a link from another web page within that website.

Email Subscriptions

Email and text message subscription services are offered by MMG as a convenience to users who choose to receive information via these channels. All information published via email subscriptions and text messaging services is available on www.memorialflorida.com without the requirement to provide email address or phone number.

In order to manage MMG email subscription lists, we retain the names and email addresses of our email subscribers, as well as other information they may have shared with us (e.g., addresses and phone numbers), logs of emails we send, and automatically generated email data used to improve our email communications. Email subscriber service providers may collect and provide non-identifying information about the number of messages sent, clicks and open rates.

The email subscriber information is secured and only available to MMG managers, members of the MMG’s communication and web teams, and other designated staff who require this information to perform their duties.  If, at any time, you wish to stop receiving our messages, simply click on the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email message.

Sharing of this Information

We exercise discretion to protect your privacy.

Within MMG, we restrict access to personally identifiable information to only those employees, contractors, and/or vendors who require access to this information in order to perform their official duties and exercise controls to limit what data they can view based on the specific needs of their position. If you choose to share information with us, we may in some cases share that information (or automatically generated information) in response to lawful law enforcement requests or to protect MMG from security threats.

We do not use or share your information for commercial purposes and, except as described above, we do not exchange or otherwise disclose this information.

Data Retention

Submitting personal information (name, address, telephone number, email address, etc.) is voluntary but may be required to access information on our website. However, if you choose to provide MMG with personally identifiable information — for example by completing a form, leaving a comment, or sending email — we may use that information to respond to your message and/or help us get you the information or services you requested.

We retain the information only for as long as necessary to respond to your question or request. We may retain your Personal Information for as long as your User Account is active, as indicated in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise needed to provide you with our Services. We may continue to retain such Personal Information even after you deactivate your User Account as reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes regarding our clients, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our agreements and/or protect our legitimate interests. We maintain a data retention policy which we apply to information in our care. Where your Personal Information is no longer required, we will ensure it is secured.

Interaction with Children on MMG Website

We believe in the importance of protecting the privacy of children online. As such, we will take all reasonable steps to protect the privacy and safety of any child from whom information is collected as required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). You may view this privacy act at https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/privacy-and-security/children%27s-privacy 

A child’s parent or guardian is required to provide consent before MMG collects, uses, or shares personal information from a child under age 13.

Personal information about children under 13 years of age may be needed to respond to his/her communication to us. Personal information about your child will be maintained as legally required by law and secured and only used for its intended purpose. On rare occasions, it may be determined that a communication from a child under 13 years old should be maintained for historical purposes. Should such an occasion occur, MMG will obtain the necessary consent from the child’s parent.

Our website is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under age 13. If you believe that we have received information from or about children under age 13, please contact the MMG at 754-273-0885.

Security

All MMG digital media offerings, including the memorialflorida.com site, are maintained and protected by various provisions of Title 18 of the U.S. Code. Violations of Title 18 are subject to criminal prosecution in Federal court.

At MMG, reasonable precautions are taken to protect MMG’s website and platforms, including information automatically collected by or voluntarily submitted to memorialflorida.com or an official MMG page. For example, we restrict access to personally identifiable information to employees, contractors, and vendors who require access to this information in order to perform their official duties, and exercise controls to limit what data they can view based on the specific needs of their position. Access to official MMG accounts on third-party sites is limited to the individuals who administer those accounts, and all official MMHS accounts are clearly labeled.

Also, commonly used practices and technical controls are utilized to protect the information in our possession or control, along with monarchfla.com itself. These practices and controls include, but are not limited to: encrypting the transfer of personal information over the internet using high-strength firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS) to safeguard personal information, and maintaining strict technical controls and procedures to ensure the integrity of all data on memorialflorida.com.

We periodically review our processes and systems to verify compliance with industry best practices and to ensure the highest level of security for MMHS’s digital platforms.
