COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

In the course of acting as a service provider and providing the Services to our customers, we may obtain information about identifiable individuals (“personal information”) on behalf of our customers regarding their clients, employees, or authorized users (such as healthcare providers employed by our customers) as outlined below.

We require our customers to ensure that they have the authority to provide personal information to us in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Except as set out herein, we collect and use our customers’ personal information only for the purpose of providing Services to our customers.

In certain limited contexts, we may collect personal information on our own behalf, such as in connection with visits to our websites, job applications, events and surveys.

Information we process on behalf of our customers:

• Create an Account: some text
  • Clients of Our Customers: If you are a client of one of our customers, you may register for an account by selecting a username and password, and providing us with your name, email address, telephone number, and payment information in order to create and administer your user account. We use this information to enable our customers to provide you with health and wellness services through the Website.
  • Customers: If you are a customer, or are an employee or authorized user of one of our customers, we will collect your name, business contact information (such as company name, address and email address) and payment information in order to create and administer your user account, and a password that you select. We use this information to enable our customers to provide their clients with the Services.
• Provision of Services: In the course of providing these Services, we may obtain information about our customers’ clients. While the nature of the personal information we process on behalf of our customers will be unique to their clients’ needs, it may generally include their client’s name, email address, mailing address, phone number, health card number, video and audio (to enable video consultations), payment information, insurance information, treatment information and notes, and other personal information or personal health information necessary to deliver the Services that our customers offer and deliver to their clients. We require our customers to ensure that they have obtained all authority to provide personal information to us in accordance with applicable privacy laws. We do not collect or use our customers’ client personal information for any purpose other than to provide Services on behalf of our customers.  

• Secure Messaging: We may collect the content of any secure messages sent between our customers and their clients in order to provide the Services. We do not review or access such secure messages unless required to perform the Services on behalf of our clients, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.
• Calendar Sync: Our customers and their authorized users may grant permissions to connect their external calendar with the calendar made available on the Services. In doing so, we may collect certain information about the authorized user’s external calendar, including the duration of events and free/busy status, so that we can assist in booking appointments in that external calendar.
  
  
• Payments: We use a third-party payment processor to process payments on behalf of our customers. If clients make a payment through the Website, card data or account information is provided to our payment processor. If you pay using a debit or credit card, Modern Health only stores the last four digits of your credit card number, the card type, the expiration number, your postal or zip code and the country.

• Support Services: We may collect certain information (such as name, email address, phone number and query) reasonable to assist us in providing customer support services by phone, email or within the platform.
• Use of the Services: We may monitor use of the Services by our customers’ clients or other authorized users in order to detect, investigate or prevent any actual or potential violation of our terms and conditions. We may also generate aggregated, non-identifiable data and use such information to monitor the performance, use and stability of the Services and to improve the Services.
• Storage: As a service provider, we may access or store personal information in the U.S., or other foreign jurisdictions in the course of providing Services to our clients, including healthcare professionals.

We use this information to help us understand our Website activity and to monitor and improve our Website.

Cookies:  Our Website uses a technology called "cookies". A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Website sends to a user’s browser, which may then be stored on the user’s hard drive so that we can recognize the user’s computer or device when they return. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to not accept certain cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from our Website, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the Website features.

Analytics: This Website also uses web analytics services such as MixPanel to help us gather and analyze information about the areas visited on the Website (such as the pages most read, time spent, search terms, and other engagement data) in order to evaluate and improve the user experience and the Website.

Third Party Links:  Our Website may contain links to other websites that Modern Health does not own or operate such as social media websites. We provide links to third party websites as a convenience to the user. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy policies, notices and terms of use. We do not have any control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

Tracer Tags & Web Beacons: The Website may also use a technology called “tracer tags” or “Web Beacons”. This technology allows us to understand which pages you visit on the Websites. These tracer tags are used to help us optimize and tailor the Website for you and other future visitors to the Website.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

We work with third-parties such as ad networks and other advertising companies that use their own tracking technologies (including cookies and pixel tags) on our Website in order to provide you with tailored advertisements across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your activity on our Website and third-party websites (such as web pages you visit and your interaction with our advertising and other communications) and use this information to make predictions about your preferencpries, develop personalized content and deliver ads that are more relevant to you on third party websites. This information may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns.

Opting-out of Interest-Based Advertising: For more information about interest-based advertising and to understand your options, including how you can opt-out of receiving behavioural ads from third-party advertising companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada website at  http://youradchoices.ca/choices.

Please note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes including analytics and you will still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioural information about you and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests.

To successfully opt out, you must have cookies enabled in your web browser (see your browser’s instructions for information on cookies and how to enable them). Your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use so you must opt-out of each web browser on each computer you use. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you will need to opt-out again.

SAFEGUARDS AND RETENTION

We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures in an effort to safeguard the personal information in our custody and control against theft, loss and unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure.
