Cookies and Tracking
We use various technologies, which may include “cookie” technology, to gather information from our website visitors such as pages visited and how often they are visited, and to enable certain features on this website. “Cookies” are small text files that may be placed on your computer when you visit a website or click on a URL. Cookies may include “single-session cookies” which generally record information during only a single visit to a website and then are erased, and “persistent” cookies, which are generally stored on a computer unless or until they are deleted or are set to expire. In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies including pixels, tags and other tracking technologies.
You may disable cookies and similar items by adjusting your browser preferences at any time; however, this may limit your ability to take advantage of all the features on this website. You may also manage the use of “flash” technologies, with the Flash management tools available at Adobe’s website. Note that we do not currently respond to web browser “Do Not Track” signals that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information about online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services because, among other reasons, there is no common definition of such signals and no industry-accepted standards for how such signals should be interpreted.
Google Analytics: We may use Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as time of visit, website pages visited, time spent on each website page, IP address, URL, and type of operating system. To learn more about how Google Analytics collects and processes Personal Information, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. You can opt-out of having your site activity available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript that is running on websites from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity. Using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on will not prevent site owners from using other tools to measure site analytics. It does not prevent data from being sent to the website itself or in other ways to web analytics services. To learn more about Google Analytics, please click here (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245). To opt-out of this feature by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, please click here (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).We also use third parties and/or service providers to provide interest-based advertising services. These services may serve advertisements on our behalf that are customized based on predictions about your interests generated from your visits to websites (including this website) over time and across different websites. The data collected may be associated with your Personal Information.
To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads or to obtain more information about ad networks and online behavioral advertising, visit National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program. Changing your settings with individual browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad
networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads. Opting-out of targeted advertising does not opt you out of all ads, just those targeted to you. For more information about third party advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, see http://www.aboutads.info/consumers, and to opt-out of such ad networks’ and services’ advertising practices, go to www.aboutads.info/choices. Once you click the link, you may choose to opt-out of such advertising from all participating advertising companies or only advertising provided by specific advertising companies.

Sale/Sharing of Personal Information and Targeted Advertising
Certain state laws regulate the “sale” of Personal Information, which may include not only the traditional selling of data, but also many sharing arrangements where the recipient can use the Personal Information that they receive for the recipient’s own commercial purposes. State laws may also regulate the disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising (“sharing” under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 or “targeted advertising,” as such practice is more commonly referred to).
We make certain categories of Personal Information available to third parties in order to receive targeted advertising-related services, such as when we make browsing information available (e.g., through third-party tags on our digital properties) to carry out, measure, and improve our ad campaigns and reach users with more relevant ads and content and to third-party analytics providers to help us improve our websites and your user experience. These disclosures may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information or “targeted advertising” under applicable state law. To opt-out of these activities, please see below.
The categories of Personal Information (described above) that we may use and disclose for these purposes are:
• Identifiers
• Commercial information
• Internet or other similar network activity
• Professional or employment-related information
• Inferences drawn from other Personal Information
How to Opt-Out: To opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information or “targeted advertising” please contact OC-Privacy@optioncare.com. Please note, we do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the Personal Information of individuals under the age of 16.
Website and Personal Information Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the information that you provide on this website. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of our website, nor can we guarantee that the Personal Information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the internet, and we are not liable for the illegal acts of third parties such as criminal hackers.
How Long We Keep Personal Information
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it has been collected, as outlined in this Policy, or any longer retention period required by law.

We may send electronic newsletters, notification of account status, and other communications, such as marketing communications, on a periodic basis to various individuals and organizations.
