insurance, and escrow services may
collect this information from our
Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do
not control how these third parties use
such information, but we do ask them to

Personally Identifiable Information
about Authorized Customers may be shared
with other Authorized Customers who wish

What partners or service providers
have access to Personally Identifiable

A-Plus Homecare has entered into and
will continue to enter into partnerships
and other affiliations with a number of

Disclosure of Personally Identifiable

Personally Identifiable Information when
reasonably necessary to protect the

How does the Site keep Personally
Identifiable Information secure?
All of our employees are familiar with
our security policy and practices. The
Personally Identifiable Information of
our Visitors and Authorized Customers is
only accessible to a limited number of
qualified employees who are given a
password in order to gain access to the
information. We audit our security
systems and processes on a regular
basis. Sensitive information, such as
credit card numbers or social security
numbers, is protected by encryption
protocols, in place to protect
information sent over the Internet.
While we take commercially reasonable
measures to maintain a secure site,
electronic communications and databases
are subject to errors, tampering and
break-ins, and we cannot guarantee or
warrant that such events will not take
place and we will not be liable to
Visitors or Authorized Customers for any
such occurrences.
How can Visitors correct any
inaccuracies in Personally Identifiable
Information?
Visitors and Authorized Customers may
contact us to update Personally
Identifiable Information about them or
to correct any inaccuracies by emailing
us at
service@aplus-homecare.com

Personally Identifiable Information
collected by the Site?
We provide Visitors and Authorized
Customers with a mechanism to
delete/deactivate Personally
Identifiable Information from the Site's
database by contacting
service@aplus-homecare.com. However,
because of backups and records of
deletions, it may be impossible to
delete a Visitor's entry without
retaining some residual information. An
individual who requests to have
Personally Identifiable Information
deactivated will have this information
functionally deleted, and we will not
sell, transfer, or use Personally
Identifiable Information relating to
that individual in any way moving
forward.
What happens if the Privacy Policy
Changes?
We will let our Visitors and Authorized
Customers know about changes to our
privacy policy by posting such changes
on the Site. However, if we are changing
our privacy policy in a manner that
might cause disclosure of Personally
Identifiable Information that a Visitor
or Authorized Customer has previously
requested not be disclosed, we will
contact such Visitor or Authorized
Customer to allow such Visitor or
Authorized Customer to prevent such
disclosure.
