How website tracking technology works on healthcare websites
Many websites, including those run by hospitals and healthcare systems, use tracking technology to understand how people interact with their pages. This technology can collect information about what you click on, what you search for and which pages you visit. In some cases, that information may also be shared with outside companies.
On a retail website, this type of tracking might be used to show you ads for shoes you looked at. On a healthcare website, however, the same technology could collect more sensitive information, such as health conditions you searched for, doctors you looked up or medical services you considered.
Because this information may reveal personal details about your health, its collection and sharing can raise medical privacy concerns.
What information could help support a data privacy lawsuit?
If you visited bjc.org to search for a doctor or medical care within the past three years, certain information may help attorneys review your potential data privacy claim.

- The device and web browser you used to visit bjc.org
- Any available browser history or saved searches from that time
- Screenshots or records of advertisements you received that appeared related to your searches
