NOTE: This policy does not govern how we handle Protected Health Information (“PHI”) as defined under the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act and related federal and state laws and regulations (collectively referred to as “HIPAA”). ALL PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION IS GOVERNED BY YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER’S NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES. Please see that notice for information about your PHI and your rights in regard to your PHI.
Please read this Online Privacy Policy carefully before you start to use our Services. By using the Services, you agree to be bound and abide by our posted Terms of Use and this Online Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Terms”). If you do not agree to our Terms, or if you violate them in any way, your right to access or use the Services is terminated. Please see Sections 10-12 of our Terms of Use regarding your legal rights in any dispute involving our Services.
1. How We Collect Information
We may collect information about you by various means, including through our Services, directly from you in-person or when you contact us, and from your other providers or third parties.
2. Types of Information We Collect
In order to better provide you with our Services, we may collect the following categories of information:
- Contact information, such as your name, e-mail, phone number and mailing address;

If you provide us with information regarding another individual, you represent that you have that person’s authorization and consent to give us his or her information and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this policy.
3. Online User Activity, Cookies and Information Collected by Other Automated Means
Cookies are a commonly-used web technology that allow websites or mobile apps to store and retrieve certain information on a user’s system, and track users’ online activities. We and our service providers may collect information about your use of our Services by such automated means, including but not limited to cookies, pixels and other similar technologies. These tools can help us automatically identify you when you return to our Services. Cookies help us review traffic patterns, improve our Services, and determine what Services are popular.
When you use the Services, the information we may collect by automated means includes, for example:
- Usage Details about your interaction with our Services (such as the date and time of use, pages visited, features used);
- Device Information including the IP address and other details of a device that you use to connect with our Services (such as device type, model and operating system information); and
- Location information where you choose to provide the website or app with access to information about your device’s location.
If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow the visitor to reject cookies, but if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features our Services provide. There is no consensus on web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, but we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time because we do not collect information about users’ online activities across third-party websites.

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances.
- We may share your information as permitted by law, including, for example, with service providers that we believe need the information to perform a technology, business, or other professional function for us (examples include IT services, maintenance and hosting of our Services, and other vendors).
