This Policy does not replace any separate privacy notice that may apply to resident records, employee records, medical records, billing records, or other information collected outside the general website.
Information maintained as part of an individual’s residency, care, employment, or other formal relationship with Golden Years Oasis may be governed by separate policies, notices, contracts, or applicable laws.
The website and its general contact forms are not intended for medical emergencies, urgent clinical communications, resident care instructions, or the transmission of medical records.
Do not use the website to report an emergency. Call 911 or contact an appropriate healthcare professional.
Please do not submit the following through a general website form:
A visitor may provide limited information explaining that assisted living or memory care is being considered. However, detailed health and care information should be discussed through an appropriate communication method after a member of our team contacts you.
If sensitive information is voluntarily submitted despite this notice, we will use it only as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, evaluate the appropriate method of follow-up, comply with legal obligations, or protect the individual’s health and safety. We do not use health-related information submitted through a care inquiry for advertising or cross-site behavioral profiling.
Depending on how you interact with the website, we may collect:

Cookies are small files or identifiers stored on or associated with a browser or device.
We may use the following categories of cookies:
These cookies support essential website functions, security, fraud prevention, form processing, accessibility, and user-requested features. The website may not function properly without them.
These cookies may remember choices such as cookie preferences or website settings.

Nonessential analytics cookies will not be activated until the visitor accepts them through our cookie-preference tool.

Our policy is not to place advertising pixels, remarketing tags, or similar third-party behavioral advertising technologies on care-inquiry or employment forms.
We do not intentionally use session-replay technology, keystroke logging, or technology designed to record the contents of information while a visitor types into a care-inquiry or employment form.
Visitors may reject nonessential cookies without losing access to the general website.
Cookie choices can be reviewed or changed through the Privacy Choices or Cookie Preferences link displayed on the website.
We use Google reCAPTCHA on certain forms to help detect spam, fraud, automated submissions, and malicious activity.
When reCAPTCHA operates, Google may receive technical information such as an IP address, browser and device information, cookies, and information about interactions with the website for security and risk-analysis purposes.
The use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service. The applicable Google links are displayed with the reCAPTCHA notice on our website.
reCAPTCHA is used for website security and is not used by Golden Years Oasis to make resident-care or employment decisions.
We may disclose information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary:
An inquiry may be directed to the Golden Years Oasis community, service line, or affiliated entity best positioned to respond.
We may use providers that support:
These providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to us, subject to applicable contractual and legal restrictions.

Any recipient will be expected to use the information consistently with applicable law and the notices provided when the information was collected.
Golden Years Oasis does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
Golden Years Oasis does not knowingly sell or share personal information submitted through care-inquiry or employment forms for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We do not disclose personal information to unaffiliated third parties for those third parties’ own direct-marketing purposes.
If our practices materially change and an activity is considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under an applicable privacy law, we will provide any legally required notice and opt-out method before implementing that change.
The website may contain links to or features provided by third parties, including:
When a visitor selects a third-party link or interacts with embedded third-party content, that provider may collect information under its own privacy policy.
Golden Years Oasis does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of unaffiliated third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy notices of those services before providing information.
Where reasonably practical, nonessential embedded content should not activate until a visitor chooses to interact with it or provides the required cookie consent.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for legitimate operational, legal, regulatory, employment, insurance, security, and recordkeeping needs.
Retention periods may depend on:
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, destroy, aggregate, or deidentify it in accordance with our record-retention practices.

These rights are subject to statutory exceptions and verification requirements.
Golden Years Oasis does not sell personal information for money and does not knowingly share care-inquiry or applicant information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Where required by applicable law, we recognize legally valid browser-based universal opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, for the browser or device from which the signal is sent.
A Global Privacy Control signal does not necessarily identify a visitor by name and may not apply across different browsers or devices.
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a single universally accepted technical standard for interpreting traditional Do Not Track signals, the website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track signals unless required by applicable law.
This does not affect our obligation to recognize a legally required universal opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, when applicable.
Third parties may collect information across websites when a visitor affirmatively interacts with third-party content, such as an embedded map, video, social-media feature, or external link.
Our policy is not to permit third-party advertising or session-recording providers to collect the contents of care-inquiry or employment-form entries for their own purposes.
Information submitted through the careers page may be used to:
Submitting an application does not create an employment relationship or guarantee an interview or offer.
Applicants should not include Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical records, or copies of government identification in an initial website application unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure process.
The general website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the website. A parent or legal guardian who believes a child submitted personal information may contact us and request review or deletion.
When a visitor provides an email address or telephone number, we may use it to respond to the request and provide information related to the inquiry.
Submitting a website form does not authorize unrelated marketing communications.
Visitors may request that nonessential promotional emails stop by using the unsubscribe instructions in the message or contacting us. Transactional, safety, employment, care-related, or legally required communications may continue when appropriate.
Consent to receive telephone calls or text messages is not a condition of residency or purchasing services unless expressly stated in a separate notice.
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our services, website technology, vendors, legal obligations, or privacy practices.
The revised Policy will be posted on the website with an updated “Last Updated” date. When required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice before applying a material change to previously collected information.
We will not make a materially retroactive change that reduces privacy protections without providing legally required notice or obtaining consent when required.
