Information Collected About You

It is our policy to protect the privacy of personally identifiable information collected about you on www.caravita.com (this “Web Site”). CaraVita is the sole owner of the information collected on this Web Site. You can visit portions of this Web Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Portions of this Web Site are available only to the friends and families of our residents (the “Resident Area”) and require you to enter a user ID and password, which is provided by us to you with the written authorization of the resident (or the resident’s guardian) and identifies you to us when you log on to the Resident Area. We send a letter to verify the user ID and password to the friends and family Members authorized by the resident. Upon receipt of such notice, you may notify us that you do not want access to the Resident area and we will delete your username and password.

We take the issue of security very seriously and use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology, a form of Internet data encryption built into your web browser, to protect data transmissions.
