We will also collect your browser user-agent string, your IP address, and your geolocation coordinates. Collectively, this information is referred to as your Personal Information. If you represent an entity who will be purchasing the Services, we may require you to provide financial and billing information, including but not limited to billing name and address, credit card number, federal and state Employer Identification Numbers, etc. (“Billing Information”).

We use this information to provide you with the Services. Analytics Information may be used to support our administrative, management or other business purposes and may be used in aggregated format to generate reports for our clients.

In addition to those measures, we will not use or disclose your Personal Information or Protected Health Information to third parties without your authorization, except as specified in this Privacy Policy.
From time to time we may employ third parties to help us improve the Services. These third parties may have limited access to databases of user information or client information solely for the purpose of helping us to improve our website, mobile application, or other Services offerings and they will be subject to contractual restrictions prohibiting them from using such information in a manner contrary to law and as stated in this Privacy Policy. Such agents or third parties do not have any rights to use Personal Information or Protected Health Information beyond what is necessary to assist us.

Any disclosure of your Personal Information or Protected Health Information made under an exception will be effectuated in good faith and in accordance with law.
We may also disclose your Personal Information or Protected Health Information in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate re-organization, a sale of all or a substantial portion of our assets or stock, including any due diligence exercise carried out in relation to the same, provided that the information disclosed continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity acquiring the information.
6. Security.
The security of your Personal Information and Protected Health Information is very important to us. We use commercially reasonable efforts to store and maintain your Personal Information and Protected Health Information in a secure environment, including encryption of such information both in transit and at rest. Additionally, our databases and backups are encrypted and all connections (Client to server https, Client to server wss, server to database SSL) are encrypted to HIPAA standards. We also take technical, physical, administrative, and contractual security steps designed to protect Personal Information and Protected Health Information that you provide to us.
You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your Personal Information and Protected Health Information.

If you have any doubts about the privacy of the information you are providing to a third party, we recommend that you contact that third party directly for more information or to review its privacy policy.
8. Retention.
We will keep your Personal Information and Protected Health Information for as long as it remains necessary for the identified purpose or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you. We may retain certain data as necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, or account recovery.
