Anagen Hair Restoration

PRIVACY POLICY

Anagen Hair Restoration values your privacy. In this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we describe how we collect, use, and disclose information that we obtain about visitors to our website (the “Site”), users of the <Insert Business Name> mobile applications (the “Applications”) and the services available through our Site (collectively, the “Services”), and how we use and disclose that information.

Anagen Hair Restoration hs been developed for hospitals and medical groups (“Providers”) and for patients who have subscribed to the Services (“Patients”) to: (1) facilitate and coordinate patient medical care and the administration of medical services by Providers and personnel who are authorized to access and use the Services, including, without limitation, administrators, physicians, nurses, and other caregivers (“Authorized Personnel”); (2) allow Providers to communicate with patients and/or their authorized family members and third party caregivers “(“Authorized Caregiver”) about Patient care and post-treatment progress; and (3) provide Patients and Authorized Caregivers with information about their medical condition and related Provider services.

Anagen Hair Restoration understands the importance of a Patient’s relationship with his or her health care providers and the importance of keeping your Personal Information private. Personal information identifies you as an individual, such as your name, postal address, email address, date of birth, and telephone number (“Personal Information”).

Health Information is a part of the Personal Information that we collect from Patients. Health Information is generally described as information that we collect, receive or create about a Patient and their healthcare.

As an example, we may collect Personal Information about Authorized Personnel or an Authorized Caregiver who uses the Services to help a Patient. And we may collect information about a Patient that is unrelated to their healthcare, such as basic registration, creating a profile, and information from third parties that is included within a Patient’s profile.

This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information that we collect through your use of the Services and through the Site or Applications. You can visit the Site at any time without providing Personal Information, however, the Site may collect information about your visit automatically as described below “Information We Collect Automatically.” By using the Services and/or the Site, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

What Personal Information Do We Collect About You and Why?

Personal Information We Collect From Providers

If you are an Authorized Personnel user, we collect Personal Information about you when the Provider subscribes to the Services as well as when you register to use the Services. The Personal Information about Providers and Authorized Personnel that we collect includes, without limitation, the Provider’s and Authorized Personnel’s name, position, specialty, email address, phone number, and business postal address. We do not collect Health Information about Providers or their Authorized Personnel.

Personal Information We Collect From Patients and Authorized Caregivers

We do not collect Health Information about Authorized Caregivers.

To register to use the Services as a Patient, you must provide your name, primary address, email address and date of birth. If a Patient or Authorized Caregiver uses the “Link Online Accounts” feature of the Services, we will ask you to provide the user names and passwords for those online accounts that the Patient has authorized <Insert Business Name> to access in order to collect other Personal Information regarding the Patient and Patient’s medical history that is maintained by third parties Patient has identified in Patient’s Account as “Authorized Third Parties.” The Personal Information the Patient may permit us to obtain from these Authorized Third Parties may include, without limitation, demographic information, financial information, medical claims history, and other Health Information.

What is Health Information?

Health Information is a part of the Personal Information that we collect about Patients and falls into two categories:

“Protected Health Information” is individually identifiable health information which is created or received by or on behalf of a covered entity (for example, a healthcare provider or health plan) and which relates to the past, present or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual, the provision of health care to an individual, or the past, present or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual. Protected Health Information is further defined by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and is subject to the protections of HIPAA.

“Additional Health Information” is a subset of Health Information that does not fall within the category of Protected Health Information above. For example, this would encompass information related to past, present or future physical or mental health or conditions, the provision of health care to an individual, or the past, present or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual but with the difference that such information was not created or received by us from or on behalf of a covered entity. We may collect Additional Health Information in connection with the Site or Applications.

How We Use and/or Share Protected Health Information and Additional Health Information

We may use and/or disclose Protected Health Information and Additional Health Information to provide the Services as described in this policy, except our use and disclosure of Protected Health Information is further limited by the main federal health privacy law known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and the Notice of Privacy Practices available from your Provider.

We will use and disclose Protected Health Information only to provide Services to the Patient or the Provider, for those uses and disclosures permitted by HIPAA, and the agreement that we have with your Provider. In the event that there is a conflict or inconsistency about the handling of Protected Health Information between (i) this Privacy Policy and (ii) our compliance obligations with HIPAA and contractual commitments with Providers, then the latter will govern.

Non-Personal Information We Collect Automatically

We may automatically collect the following information about your use of our Site or Services through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies: your domain name; your browser type and operating system; web pages you view; links you click; your IP address; the length of time you visit our Site or use our Services; and the referring URL, or the webpage that led you to our Site, and the following: access time, browser type, device ID, domain name, IP address, page views and referring URL. We also may collect the following information about your use of the Application: mobile device ID; location and language information; device name and model; operating system type, name, and version; your activities within the Application; and the length of time that you are logged into our Application. We may combine this information with other information that we have collected about you, including, where applicable, your user name, name, and other personal information. Please see the section “Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms” below for more information.

Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms

We and our third party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site or Services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third party service providers may do so on our behalf).

Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies); you also may opt-out of targeted advertising by following the instructions in the Third Party Ad Network section.

Cookies: Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Service. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

  • Session Cookies: Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.
  • Persistent Cookies: Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We do not currently use persistent cookies on the Site.

Disabling Cookies: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function.

Local Storage Objects: We may use Flash Local Storage Objects (“Flash LSOs”) to store your Site preferences and to personalize your visit. Flash LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of Flash LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions. To see the Flash LSOs currently on your computer, choose “Website Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions to review and, if you choose, to delete any specific Flash LSO.

Third Party Analytics: We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site and, to the extent permitted, our Applications. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Services. We use these tools to help us improve our Services, performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. We do not share your personal information with these third parties.

With respect to Google Analytics specifically, we may collect the some or all of the following information about your use of our Site and Applications, and we may be able to connect this information to other information we have about you:

  • Pages visited, time of visit, and time spent on each page of the webpages
  • Type of web browser
  • Type of operating system (OS)
  • Screen resolution
  • IP address

Third-Party Links

Our Site and Services may contain links to third-party websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those third party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third party websites.

Security of Personal Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect Personal Information under our control, and Protected Health Information is specifically per the HIPAA rules. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at legal@<Insert Business Name>health.com.

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

Access to My Personal Information

You may modify Personal Information that you have submitted by logging into your account and updating your profile information. Please note that copies of information that you have updated, modified or deleted may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Site or Application for a period of time.

You may also contact us directly if you would like to review, correct, update, delete or otherwise limit our use of your Personal Information that has been previously provided to us by sending us an email at <Insert Email Address>. In your request, please make clear what information you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have your Personal Information deleted from our database or otherwise let us know what limitations you would like to put on our use of your Personal Information. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that in order to comply with certain requests to limit use of your Personal Information we may need to terminate your account with us and your ability to access and use the Services, and you agree that we will not be liable to you for such termination. Although we will use reasonable efforts to do so, you understand that it may not be technologically possible to remove from our systems every record of your Personal Information. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means a copy of your Personal Information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate or remove.

We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.

What Choices Do I Have Regarding Use of My Personal Information?

We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you, provided that such messages are not based on Protected Health Information. You may opt-out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the e-mail. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt-out of receiving emails about recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we may still send you e-mails about your account or any Services you have requested or received from us.

Children Under 18

The Services are not permitted for use by individuals under the age of eighteen (18) unless they have provided the written consent of their parents or legal guardians, and we request that these individuals not provide Personal Information to us.
