Thank you for visiting our website. Your privacy is important to us.
This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices and procedures of Genesis Global Group and its affiliates (collectively, “GGG” or “we” or “us”) in connection with our websites (“Sites”). By visiting and using GGG’s Sites, you are giving your consent to the terms outlined in this Policy.

- Contact details, such as your name, email address, postal address and telephone number;

You may be asked to provide additional information when participating in a survey by GGG.
Financial Information - Financial information and payment data (e.g., credit card numbers) that you provide to us via our payment links is encrypted by using secure socket layer (“SSL”) encryption technology, which employs a 128-bit encryption system. Your financial information is safeguarded and may only be accessed by GGG employees who maintain password and job-required access rights.
Automatically Collected Information
Information automatically collected occurs by our servers and through the use of cookies (small text files sent to your computer), web beacons (also known as clear or single pixel .gifs) and other related technologies tells us how you use our Sites. This information includes, but is not limited to:
- Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses used to connect your computer to the internet;
- Computer, device and connection information, such as browser type and version, operating system, mobile platform and unique device identifier ("UDID") and other technical identifiers;
- Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") click stream data, including date and time stamp, referring and exit URLs, search terms you used, and pages you visited or searched for while using our Sites; and
- The physical location of your device in order to provide you with relevant content for your location.
Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Disabling cookies in your browser, however, may prevent access to some features of our services. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while using our Sites. We also use Web beacons to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and to tell if an email has been opened.
Protected Health Information
Under the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1986 (“HIPAA”) and its regulations related to patient privacy, GGG is required to provide you with a Notice of Privacy Practices. Some of our Services (e.g., the “Patient Portal”) collect Personal Health Information (“PHI”) and our use and disclosure of PHI are specifically governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Various GGG webpages give users the option to make electronic payment for certain services. Information from these bill payment links do not display or transmit any PHI about you or information from your account. GGG maintains all PHI within the GGG information system (“IS”) firewalls that operate on separate GGG mainframes/servers. The general public does not have access to our mainframes/servers, and therefore cannot access to your PHI.
How We Use Your Information
GGG uses information collected through our Sites for purposes described in this Policy or disclosed to you on our Sites. For example, we may use your information to:
- operate and improve our Sites and services;
- respond to your comments and questions;
