  • Medical information submitted for diagnosis or treatment purposes (including information about your applicable medical history) and current complaint or other reason for visiting a Provider.

The information you provide to a Provider through the Site may be protected under applicable federal and state laws applicable to health information, including but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its implementing regulations, as may be amended from time to time (collectively, “HIPAA”). The Providers will use and disclose information about you that is protected under such privacy laws only as permitted or required by such laws. The Providers have adopted a [LINK TO NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES] that describes how they use and disclose PHI. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Provider(s).

We will not use or disclose information about you that is protected under health information privacy laws except on behalf of the Providers, as permitted by such laws, but may combine the personal information your share with us through the Site with other information we collect from or about you, both online and offline. We may also combine personal information with records provided by third parties. We use this consolidated information to help us better design our Site, including the selection of Services and Products, to communicate information to you, to enhance our marketing and research activities, and to facilitate other business functions

4. HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may collect information directly from you when you visit, access or use the Site or when you register an account with us. We may also collect information when you purchase a Service or any Products available on our Site, submit information to use through a survey, communicate with us or post or submit content on or in the Site.

Some of the information we collect depends on the settings on your web browser or mobile device. Please check your web browser or mobile device if you want to learn what information your browser or mobile device sends or how to change your settings. In addition to the information sent by your web browser or mobile device, as you navigate through a website or mobile app, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection.

Like most website operators, we use cookies and similar technologies, local shared objects (or any other successor tracker technology), Software Development Kits, and pixel tags that automatically receive and track certain data about how you and other visitors interact with our Site, preferences expressed and settings chosen. For example, we may collect information about the technology you use (such as your browser, type of computer, operating systems, mobile device and network used, and Internet service providers) and server log data (such as access dates and times, online features or pages viewed, system activity, and the third-party site or service you were using before interacting with our Site). These technologies are described in more detail below.

“Cookies” are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, mobile apps, online media and advertisements. There are different types of cookies. Cookies served by the entity that operates the website or app you are visiting or using are called “first party cookies” (so cookies served by us while you are using our Site are first party cookies). Cookies served by companies that are not operating the website or app you are visiting or using are called “third party cookies” (so, we may use a website analytics provider to set a cookie on your computer via our Site while you visit our Site, and that would be a third party cookie). Cookies may also endure for different periods of time. “Session Cookies” last only as long as your browser or app is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser or app. Other cookies are “persistent cookies” meaning that they survive after your browser or app is closed (for example, they may recognize your computer when you re-open our online services).

“Local shared objects” (also called Flash cookies or HTML5 cookies) and any other successor technology refers generally to the collection of cookie-like data stored on a browser or computer by web sites, ads, or third parties.

“Pixel tags” (also called beacons or pixels) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a web page, app or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, including device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, and other similar information (including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device). Pixels provide the means by which third parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner. “Software Development Kits” (also called SDKs) function like pixels and cookies, but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The primary app developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) from partners in the app, thereby allowing such partners to collect certain information about user interaction with the app, information about the user device and network information.

In this Privacy Policy, these and similar technologies are collectively referred to as “cookies and technologies.” The following table sets out the different categories of cookies and technologies that our Site may use and why we use them:

We do not currently respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information across the networks of websites and online services in which we participate. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy.

5. HOW WE MAY USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use the personal information identified above to:

• Verify your identity and your location;
• Provide the Product and/or Services to you;

6. WHOM WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH

Providers
Pharmacies

7. SOCIAL MEDIA PLUGINS

The Site may use social media plugins (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button, ‘“Share to Twitter”‘ button) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit the Site, the operator of the social plugin can place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited the Site. If you are logged into the social media website (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google+) while browsing on our Site, the social plugins allow that social media website to receive information that you have visited our Site. The social plugins also allow the social media website to share information about your activities on our Site with other users of their social media website. For example, Facebook Social Plugins allows Facebook to show your Likes and comments on our pages to your Facebook friends. Facebook Social Plugins also allow you to see your friends’ Facebook activity on our Site. We do not control any of the content from the social media plugins. For more information about social plugins from other social media websites you should refer to those sites’ privacy and data sharing statements.

8. HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We will only retain personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to satisfy a legal obligation imposed on us. Personal information that is no longer needed for the above purposes will be deleted or anonymized. In the event we retain and use personal information for purposes not covered by the original notice, we will provide you with additional notice.

9. APPLICABILITY OF HIPAA

Pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its implementing regulations (collectively, “HIPAA”), you understand that MinuteMD is not deemed a “covered entity” as defined by HIPAA. The Pharmacies and Providers may be considered a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and MinuteMD may, in some cases, be a “business associate” of a Pharmacy or Provider. If MinuteMD is deemed a “business associate,” we will be subject to additional protections of your “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA (“PHI”), or other state laws. Your PHI will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws and regulations.

10. SECURITY

We may employ procedural and technological security measures, consistent with industry practice. Such measures are reasonably designed to protect your personal information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. We may use encryption, password protection, secure socket layers, internal restrictions and other security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your personal information. However, you provide your information to us at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that your data will not be lost, accessed without authorization, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
