As used herein, “You” and “Your” refer to the individual or entity that wishes to use the Application. Your license to this Application is subject to your acceptance of this Policy.

2. Information Collected by our Services

Information You Submit: When you use our Service, you can submit information by:

   •     Typing-in data (such as when you register for our Services, or type an order, a message to send to us or another user, or complete a form).

   •     Uploading a document, image or other data file.

Engagement Tools and Data: Unless you choose not to allow, our Service also gathers information whenever you visit, log in or otherwise interact with them. As with other websites and interactive services, whenever you interact with our Service, your computer, mobile phone or tablet (a “Device”) and its software transmits a “request” to us. That request includes non-personal information received from your Device (and its software) necessary for us to identify and appropriately route the information your Device is requesting. These “requests” and “replies” are the backbone of all websites and Internet services. Therefore, whenever you:

   •     Visit and navigate through our Services

   •     Open a web-enabled memo

In addition to managing the appropriate routing of information, we use so-called “server logs” and other Engagement Tools to enhance the quality of the service and content you receive. For example, we use Engagement Tools to:

   •     Save user preferences;

   •     Preserve session settings and activity;

   •     Help authenticate users; and

   •     Analyze the performance of our Services and its various features and content.

When a user has registered with us, our Engagement Tools automatically receive information about your Device. We call such data “Engagement Data.”

Engagement Data often includes elements such as the date and time a “request” is made. You have the ability to control how certain Engagement Tools operate by modifying the settings on your Device or its software. For example, devices will allow you to disable the sending of location information. To learn more about Engagement Tools and how we use Engagement Data please see our Engagement Tools sections below entitled “Engagement Tools” and “How Information is Used.”

3. Engagement Tools

Included among them is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health of 2009 (“HITECH”), and the regulations adopted thereunder. When we store, process or transmit “individually identifiable health information” (as such term is defined by HIPAA) on behalf of a health care provider who has entered a Healthcare Provider User Agreement, we do so as its “business associate” (as also defined by HIPAA). Under this agreement, we are prohibited from, among other things, using individually identifiable health information in a manner that the provider itself may not. We are also required to, among other things, apply reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information we store and process on behalf of such providers. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing the use and information of certain personal and health information, including HIPAA, when we operate as a business associate of a healthcare provider.

Communications received from Your Provider and our administrative announcements are often transactional or relationship messages, such as task reminders and message notifications, or other service notifications. You may opt out of receiving certain messages.​

​

8. Security

The security of our Services and the information they store, process and transmit is a top priority. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of the information we collect, we deploy a wide range of technical, physical and administrative safeguards, including: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, firewalls, system alerts and other information system security technologies; housing health data in secure facilities that restrict physical and network access; and regular evaluation and enhancement of our information technology systems, facilities, and information collection, storage and processing practices. Under our Healthcare Provider User Agreement and applicable law, we are required to apply reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information (as such term is defined by HIPAA) residing on and processed by our Services.
