The personal information Beach Medical obtains about individual visitors to our website(s) is information the visitor supplies voluntarily. This means that you can visit our website(s) without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself.

Our web servers automatically recognize a visitor's domain name (such as .com, .net, etc.), the point of entry from which a visitor enters our site including web pages, newsletters, banner ads, which pages a visitor visits on our site, how much time a visitor spends on each page, IP address(es) and related information, such as geographical location(s). This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information about the visitor. We or our contractors use web beacons (i.e., "cookies") to track use of our sites and to track what sites users came from, but do not collect personally identifiable information via these web beacons.
