8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, and similar technologies to operate our website and understand how visitors interact with it.

These technologies may be used to:

  • Maintain website functionality;

  • Remember preferences;

  • Understand website usage;

  • Measure website performance;

  • Analyze traffic;

  • Identify technical problems;

  • Measure marketing and advertising effectiveness;

  • Understand how visitors arrive at our website; and

  • Improve our website, communications, and services.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function.

Other technologies may be provided by third-party analytics, advertising, or technology providers.

You may be able to control certain cookies through your browser settings or through privacy or cookie controls made available on our website.

Disabling certain technologies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

9. Analytics and Advertising Technologies

We may use third-party analytics and advertising technologies to understand website activity, measure advertising performance, and improve our communications.

These technologies may include services such as Google Analytics and advertising or measurement technologies associated with platforms through which we advertise.

Depending upon the technologies enabled, these providers may collect information such as:

Certain advertising technologies may use information you provide to us, such as an email address or telephone number, in hashed or otherwise protected form to help measure advertising performance, attribute conversions, and match interactions with advertising platforms where permitted by applicable law.

  • IP address;

  • Browser or device information;

  • Pages viewed;

  • Links clicked;

  • Referral information;

  • Advertising identifiers;

  • Website interactions; and

  • Information about interactions with advertisements.

Third-party providers process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements with us.

10. Sale, Sharing and Targeted Advertising

Just Call Melinda does not sell personal information for monetary payment.

However, some state privacy laws use terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising” more broadly than the ordinary meaning of selling information for money.

For example, certain advertising or analytics technologies may transmit device identifiers, internet activity information, or similar information to advertising or technology providers.

Where such activities are considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, eligible consumers may have the right to opt out.

We do not sell or provide mobile telephone numbers or SMS opt-in consent to other companies for their independent marketing or promotional purposes.

11. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some web browsers allow users to send a “Do Not Track” or similar signal.

Because there is not a universally accepted standard governing traditional Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to all such signals.

Certain jurisdictions recognize browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), as a method of communicating a consumer's privacy preference.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a qualifying opt-out preference signal, we will process the signal as required by applicable law.

A privacy preference signal may apply only to the browser or device from which it is sent.

Third-party analytics, advertising, or technology providers may collect information regarding your activities on our website as described in this Privacy Policy.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications using the unsubscribe link contained in our emails.

You may opt out of SMS messages by replying STOP.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business, legal, compliance, security, and recordkeeping purposes.

The length of time information is retained may depend on:

  • The type of information;

  • The nature of our relationship with you;

  • Why the information was collected;

  • Whether you have requested services;

  • Consent and communication records;

  • Legal or regulatory requirements;

  • Contractual requirements;

  • Fraud-prevention or security needs;

  • Dispute-resolution requirements; and

  • Appropriate business recordkeeping practices.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

13. Protecting Personal Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.

These safeguards may include access controls, secure systems, service-provider controls, security practices, and other measures appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain.

However, no website, internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should use appropriate care when transmitting personal information electronically.

14. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include the right to:

  • Request confirmation of whether we process personal information about you;

  • Request access to personal information we maintain about you;

15. How to Submit a Privacy Request

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact Just Call Melinda using the contact information listed at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Please clearly indicate that your communication concerns a Privacy Request and describe the request you are making.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Verification may require information reasonably necessary to confirm that the person submitting the request is the individual to whom the information relates or an authorized representative.

We will respond to verified requests within the time required by applicable law.

If we cannot fulfill a request, we may explain why, subject to applicable law.

16. Communication Choices

Email

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link contained in our emails.

Text Messages

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP.

Assistance

You may reply HELP to a text message for SMS assistance.

Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily prevent communications needed to respond to a request, administer an appointment, or provide services you have requested.

17. Financial and Benefit Information

Because Just Call Melinda provides education and services relating to federal benefits, retirement planning, and related financial or insurance matters, individuals may voluntarily provide financial, benefit, or insurance-related information.

Certain information or relationships may be subject to additional federal or state privacy, security, insurance, financial-services, or recordkeeping requirements.

Where another law provides protections or requirements applicable to particular information, we will handle that information in accordance with applicable law.

This Privacy Policy does not replace any separate privacy notice, disclosure, consent, or security requirement that may apply to a particular financial, insurance, or other regulated service.

18. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to websites, applications, platforms, or services operated by third parties.

Those third parties maintain their own privacy and security practices.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party websites or services that we do not control.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services you use.

19. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected through our website without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information as required by applicable law.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to:

  • Our business;

  • Technology;

  • Website functionality;
