Tracking Tools

“Cookies” are small text files that we may place on your hard drive whenever you visit our website. Their purpose is to identify files on your computer and record your preferences and other data about your visit to our website so that when you return to the website we are aware of who you are and can help personalize your visit and make relevant recommendations to you.

“Web beacons” are small graphic images placed on a web page, web-based document, or an email address that are designed specifically to allow us or our third-party vendors to collect certain information and monitor use activity on our website. Web beacons are invisible to the user because they are typically very small. We do not use web beacons to collect personal information about owners and principals. We may use them to collect non-personal information such as an IP address of the computer used, the URL of the page where the website visitor came from and the time when the web beacon was activated.

DO-NOT-CALL POLICY SUMMARY

PhysicianFunders.com strives to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct in its marketing activities and is committed to complying with all federal and state legislation regarding applicable Do Not Call Procedures, including, without limitation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, the FTC Telephone Sales Rule, and state regulation.

If you do not want to receive sales calls from PhysicianFunders.com, just ask us to place your name on our internal Do Not Call List. We will note your request immediately, but it may take up to 7 days to remove your information from previously prepared lists. You can also make your request by calling or writing to our Customer Service Department. When you make your request be sure to include your name, address and all telephone numbers that you want to be included on our list. If your information changes, please notify us promptly to remain on our internal Do Not Call List.

We maintain a record of your request and will honor your request for 5 years from the date the request is made, unless otherwise required by law. We will place a sales call to a telephone number on our internal Do Not Call List only if (i) you provide us with the telephone number directly, or indirectly through a separate source, or notify us that you would like to receive sales calls and (ii) you do not request to place that telephone number back on our internal Do Not Call List.

Representatives making sales calls will be trained on our internal Do Not Call List and will clearly identify themselves on calls.

This policy restricts telephone solicitation calls from PhysicianFunders.com only, so you may continue to receive telephone calls from other companies, including our affiliates. We may still contact you by other means of communication and by telephone for non-marketing purposes, including, but not limited to, servicing or collecting accounts.
