11. Personal Information Provided to and Accessed by Third Parties and Their Use.

Third parties you have authorized can receive personal information in our possession (“Authorized Third Parties”). An Authorized Third Party may only access the information we possess as long as they remain in good standing with us and as long as you have authorized them to.

Our Services allow you to provide, and grant access to, your and your patients' personal information to third parties, such as our electronic signature provider, other providers of services and products that you may be interested in, and family members that you authorize to receive such information (“Authorized Third Parties”). Authorized Third Parties can receive your or your patients' personal information in two ways. First, using our Services, you can select what information you want us to provide to an Authorized Third Party. Second, you can grant Authorized Third Parties direct access to some personal information we possess through actions you perform within the Services. All the information we provide to an Authorized Third Party or that an Authorized Third Party directly accesses from us will be in their possession and generally becomes part of their “file” on you or your patient. While we control the provision of and access to your and your patients' personal information we possess, we do not control how an Authorized Third Party uses your personal information once in their possession. Your and your patients' personal information in the possession of an Authorized Third Party, and their use of that information including how long such information is retained, will be governed by the privacy policies and other applicable policies of that Authorized Third Party.

In addition, an Authorized Third Party is typically permitted to share personal information (such as an e-sign document) with other third parties, such as third parties who are affiliated, transacting or working with, or otherwise providing services on behalf of a Third Party Partner (“Other Third Parties”).

Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, all information in possession of an Authorized Third Party or Other Third Party, and their use of such information, will not be subject to this Privacy Policy and we will not be responsible for such possession or use.

12. How We Disclose Information We Collect.

– For the Services. In addition to disclosures of your information that may occur as part of your use described above, we may disclose personal information to our parent, subsidiary, third parties and other related companies, including, but not limited to, our partners, vendors, consultants and professional advisors, trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners who will use the information only as necessary for them to perform or provide the Services and for the specific purposes for which the information was collected. For example, if we utilize an electronic signature vendor and you choose to have patients electronically sign the document(s) generated by our Site through our Site, your company's and patient's email addresses and names may be provided to that vendor.

Also, we may share personal information with third party service providers (other than Authorized Third Parties and Other Third Parties) to enable them to assist in fulfilling the requests you make or the transactions you conduct via the Sites, including the operation of certain Sites functions and Services. We use commercially reasonable efforts to only engage or interact with third-party service providers that post a privacy policy governing their processing of personal information.

Such third parties will assume responsibility for the personal information collected by us in connection with our business operations or through our Sites and such third parties will assume the rights and obligations regarding such information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Additionally, we may share or make available anonymous or aggregate information that cannot be used to identify you individually with:

  • third parties for their research, product offerings, marketing and promotional purposes and those third parties may publicly report the findings of their research or analysis;
  • organizations that conduct research into consumer spending and other financial habits; and
  • users of the Service for purposes of comparison of their company, authorized users and/or patients relative to the broader community.

13. How We Protect Information We Collect.

We use technical and administrative security measures, such as but not limited to, firewalls, encryption techniques, and authentication procedures, among others, to maintain the security of your online session, the information we store, and the information we share with others.

If you choose to use these separate products and services, provide information to the third party, or allow the third party to otherwise collect information about you, then their use of your information is subject to the applicable third party’s privacy policy and terms of service. You should review the practices of the third party before deciding to use their service or provide them with any information.
