Analytics & Customization Technology
When you access or use our Services, we may track information as part of your access or use. The type of information that may be tracked include:
- Our websites may deposit a small file called a “cookie” on a visitor’s computer hard drive to personalize their experience or track aggregate site visitation statistics;
- Our websites may use web beacons in combination with cookies to help Global Medical Response identify and track usage of Global Medical Response websites in order to gather aggregate data related to the usage and usability of Global Medical Response websites. Global Medical Response will use this “web analytics” data only as aggregate site visitation statistics or to personalize the end user experience.
- Our websites may customize the website viewing experience and/or capture web analytics by using either internal analytics software or by sending this information to vendors to help Global Medical Response analyze this data.

Similarly, we may hire outside companies to host or operate some of our websites and related computers.
However, if we share or give access to information to outside companies, we require them to use the personal information only for limited purposes, such as for sending you the e-mail in the example above.
