Overview
Laws govern how Propanolol.com can use and disclose health information that ‘individually identifies’ you. We call this information ‘protected health information’ or ‘PHI’. We collect PHI when you use our App and Website and when you communicate with us.
This Privacy Policy helps you understand a) how we’ll use and share your PHI, b) what rights you have over your PHI and how to exercise your rights, c) what to do if you think we’re not complying with our legal obligations, and d) what other information we collect and share when you use the Propranolol.com mobile application (‘the App’) or Website.
If you have any questions, please contact us through the App or Website.
How we use and disclose your PHI
We use and disclose your PHI to provide you with care, to run our healthcare operations, to take payment and to comply with regulations. We implement a range of technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect your PHI.
We use your email address to send you a range of different types of emails, including but not limited to emails that update you as to the status of your request for a prescription or laboratory test, to send you emails that alert you that there is a message waiting for you in the App or Website, to send you emails asking for feedback on your experience of using the service, to send you emails to notify you that you may be due for a refill, and to send you emails if you create an account but fail to complete a visit. We will send you marketing emails to notify you of the services we provide. We will share your email and first name with third party email platforms to enable us to send you emails.
We use your telephone number to call you if we have any questions, to leave you voice messages if you don’t answer the telephone when we call you, and to call you to ask for feedback on your experience of using the service. We also use your telephone number to send you SMS/text message notifications. We may send you SMS notifications to update you on the progress of your visit or lab order. If you ask us to organize for a partner pharmacy to mail your medicines, we may telephone you to take payment on behalf of the pharmacy and we may SMS you to let you know that you have refills available.
To provide treatment and to run our healthcare operations and to take payment we share your PHI with selected organizations that provide us with services.
As examples, we share your PHI with organizations that help us run and maintain the technology and security infrastructure that supports the App and Website and the care we provide. We also may share your health information with medical staff who help ensure that we are providing a service that meets the appropriate standard of care.
We share your PHI and card details with our trusted online payment processors. If you choose to save your payment details to make future payments easier, our trusted payment provider will store them on our behalf. Furthermore, if you request delivery of your medicines by mail from a third party pharmacy then our trusted payment processor will always store your card details to make future payments more convenient.
We share your PHI with the pharmacy if we give you a prescription and with intermediaries who enable us to send prescriptions electronically. If you request that we organize for a partner mail order pharmacy to deliver your medicines, then we will share your PHI with and send your prescription to one or more mail order pharmacies so that there is flexibility in terms of which pharmacy mails your first deliver and which pharmacy mails any subsequent deliveries.
If we order laboratory tests for you then we share your PHI with the lab company that runs the tests. If a laboratory test we order for you finds a ‘reportable’ infection we may be required by law to share your PHI to your county health department.
We share your telephone number with the company that helps us send SMS/text messages. If we need to telephone you then we share your telephone number with our telecommunication provider.
We store information you provide us with whether you complete a visit or whether you do not complete a visit. We take the same precautions over your data regardless of whether you complete a visit.
We do not record video visits between our patients and our doctors. We may, however, capture a still image from the video and store that image in your medical record.
We may use your PHI to tell you about health-related products and services.
We may share your PHI with a third party if we merge, are acquired or undergo an asset sale.
Wherever possible we strive to make sure that any third parties with whom we share your PHI are legally bound by the restrictions of this Privacy Policy.
We are generally unable to delete information from your medical record. At your request we can de-activate your secure account so that you and others can no longer access it with your username and password.
