ClinicApp LLC (“ClinicApp” or “we” or “us”) owns and operates a web-based platform at https://www.ClinicApp.com (the “Platform”) that allows patients (“Patient Clients”) and industry clients (“Industry Clients”), such as pharmaceutical companies or medical devices companies, to connect with medical doctors (“Doctors”) for consultation via the Platform. This Privacy Policy explains the kinds of information we may collect about the visitors to our Platform, Patient Clients and Industry Clients (collectively, “Users”), and why, and how we handle that information. Your access and use of the Platform, any part thereof, or anything associated therewith, any products or services provided through the Platform or otherwise by ClinicApp and its suppliers and licensors, and any affiliated website, software or application owned or operated by ClinicApp (collectively, the “Services”) are subject to this Privacy Policy unless specifically stated otherwise. By visiting or using the Platform, you agree to this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service located at https://www.ClinicApp.com/privacy which are incorporated into this Policy by this reference.
This Privacy Policy describes the following:
By accessing or using the Services, you are automatically accepting and acknowledging the most recent version of this Privacy Policy. If we make any changes to our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the “Last updated” date of the Privacy Policy.
We do not knowingly collect information from users of our Platform under the age of 18 and/or their internet usage, and such persons are not authorized to use the Services. If we obtain actual knowledge that a user is under 18, we will take steps to remove that user’s personal information from our databases. By accessing or using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old. You also represent, by accessing or using the Services, that you are of legal age to enter into legal agreements.
If you are using the Services on behalf of an individual other than yourself or an entity, you represent that you are authorized by such individual or entity to act on such individual’s or entity’s behalf and that such individual or entity acknowledges the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.
If you are a Platform visitor, we collect information to personalize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs), to improve our Platform and to provide Services or information that you request.
If you are a Patient Client or Industry Client, ClinicApp collects information to register you as a User, facilitate your interactions with the Doctors on the Platform, process payments for the Services that you utilize and administer your account.
When you set up an account with ClinicApp, you are creating a direct customer relationship with ClinicApp that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform and the Services as a User. As part of that relationship, you provide information to ClinicApp, including but not limited to, your name, email address, physical address, phone number, payment card information and certain transactional information, that we do not consider to be “protected health information” or “medical information”.
However, in using certain components of the Services, you may also provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. ClinicApp is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, ” HIPAA”). The Doctors may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA depending on thetype of client the User is and the scope of consultation, and ClinicApp may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Doctor. It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with ClinicApp or the Doctors. To the extent ClinicApp is deemed a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, ClinicApp, may be subjectto certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to ClinicApp or the Doctors (“PHI”). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws.
The Doctors’ Notices of Privacy Practices will describe how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Services, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Doctor(s).
By accessing or using any part of the Services, you are agreeing that even if HIPAA does apply to ClinicApp or the Doctors, any information that you submit to the Services is not considered Protected Information and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable laws that govern the privacy and security of such information.
