Browsing our website at www.medviewhealth.com and/or any sub-domains thereof (collectively, the “Website”) may not require you to register for an account or actively provide any personally identifiable information to us, but as indicated below, we and third parties may use cookies and action tags to passively collect information from visitors to our Website.

Medviewhealth, LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a full-service medical research company. Our team is dedicated to improving outcomes in the healthcare industry.  Our research efforts are focused on augmenting the quality of care and cost-effectiveness of interventions that optimize patient-focused outcomes, identifying and addressing barriers to quality of care, and ensuring effective allocation of health and social resources.  This Website Privacy Policy describes how Medviewhealth handles information that we collect on the Website.

This Website Privacy Policy only applies to information collected through the Website and does not apply to information collected through offline and other online channels in connection with our U.S. operations. You should carefully read this Website Privacy Policy. By using the Website, you are signifying your acceptance of this Website Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Website Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to use the Website.

As used in this Website Privacy Policy, the terms “using” and “processing” information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing, and transferring information within our organization or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally.

What information will we collect?

Information may be collected in the following ways on this website and Application:

• If we provide user account access, you may elect to establish an account so that you can gain additional access to online service applications, health tools, health information, subscriptions or other services where it is important for us to know who you are in order to best meet your needs. Providing personal information is always voluntary.
• We may use “cookies” to help us improve this website and Application by tracking your navigation habits and to store some of your preferences. A cookie is a small file created by a website or application to store information on your computer. Cookies do not allow websites or applications to gain access to other information on your computer. Once a cookie is saved on your computer, generally only the website or application that created the cookie can read it.
• An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that automatically identifies the computer or mobile device that you are using to access the Internet. The IP address enables our server to send you the site pages that you want to visit or the data you want to view. The IP address may disclose the server owned by your Internet Service Provider. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to support our administration of this website and Application.

How will information be used?

Any personal information that you provide is used for the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you email us for information, we may use your email address to respond to you.

We may also gather quantitative user information, such as the number of users and the pages or data accessed, in order to perform administrative, technical, hosting, or other functions that help us manage our website and Application and deliver new functionality to you. We do not sell, license, transmit, or disclose personal information that you provide to us to third parties except with the following exceptions:

• Upon your authorization;
• When such disclosure is necessary to allow us and our contractors or agents to carry out treatment, payment or health care operations; or
• When required or permitted by law.

Third parties

We may work with third-party service providers who may place third-party persistent cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect anonymous information about the use of our websites and Applications. They are not permitted to collect any personal information, and this information will be solely used for web usage analysis for a better understanding of how you use our website Application, and/or to customize our content and advertising.

What if I don’t want information about me to be collected?

Providing personal information through this website or Application is optional. Personally identifiable information will not be collected from you without your knowledge and approval.

If you do not wish to have your activity on our website or Application tracked, you can opt-out at any time here to discontinue first party cookie tracking of your web activity.

You also have the choice to opt-out of third-party cookies, web beacons or similar technologies, if you do not want third-party service providers to collect your anonymous information for marketing purposes, visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website to perform the opt-out.

Additionally, you can direct your Internet browser to notify you and seek approval whenever a cookie is being sent to your hard drive. You may also delete a cookie manually from your computer, tablet or smartphone through your Internet browser settings or other programs. You can also set your browser to refuse all cookies. Please note that some parts of this website or Application may not function properly or be available to you, if you refuse to accept a cookie or choose to disable the acceptance of cookies.

“Do Not Track” Signals

We do not respond to web browser “do not track” signals. As such, your navigation of our website and Application may be tracked as part of the gathering of quantitative user information described above. If you arrive at our website or Application by way of a link from a third-party application that does respond to “do not track” requests, the recognition of any “do not track” request you have initiated will end as soon as you reach our website or Application.

Linking to Other Sites

From time to time we will provide links to websites or applications not owned or controlled by us. We do this because we think the information might be of interest or use to you. A link to a third-party website or application does not constitute or imply endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the quality or accuracy of information presented on third-party websites or applications. While we do our best to ensure your privacy, we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or applications. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any website or application you visit.

Outside Contractors

We may employ independent contractors, vendors, and suppliers (collectively, “Outside Contractors”) to provide specific services and products related to the Website and/or our business, including hosting, maintenance, auditing, monitoring, and other services. In the course of providing products or services to us, these Outside Contractors may have access to your information (including personally identifiable information).

Your information (including personally identifiable information) may be disclosed to our Corporate Affiliates. For purposes of this Website Privacy Policy, “Corporate Affiliate” means any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Medviewhealth, whether by ownership or otherwise; and “control” means possessing, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or operations of an entity, whether through ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities, by contract or otherwise.  Any information relating to you that is provided to our Corporate Affiliates will be treated by those Corporate Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Website Privacy Policy.

Transborder Hosting and Transfer of Information

Personally identifiable information collected by Medviewhealth may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and the Website may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such information. By accessing the Website and submitting such information on it, or by otherwise submitting personally identifiable information to Medviewhealth, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information. Without limitation of the foregoing, you hereby expressly grant consent to Medviewhealth to: (a) process and disclose such information in accordance with this Website Privacy Policy, as applicable; (b) transfer such information throughout the world, including to the United States or other countries that do not ensure adequate protection for personally identifiable information (as determined by the European Commission); and (c) disclose such information to comply with lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Does this website privacy policy apply when I link to other websites or services?

Our Website may provide you with access to other websites and services.  Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any websites or services other than the Website. A link to a third party website does not constitute or imply endorsement by us. Additionally, we cannot guarantee the quality or accuracy of information presented on those websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of each and every such website and service. This Website Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through the Website.

Is the information collected through the website secure?

We want your information (including personally identifiable information) to remain secure. We strive to provide transmission of your information from your computer or mobile device to our servers through techniques that are consistent with commercially reasonable standards and to employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved and the nature of the information. Notwithstanding the above, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information, both over the Internet and through other online and offline channels. There is also some risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or privacy of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Without limitation to the foregoing, if you provide us with your email address, we may communicate with you via email to the extent permitted by applicable law. Unless otherwise noted, email through our Website is not a completely secure and confidential means of communication. Non-encrypted email may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users without your knowledge and permission while in transit to us.

What choices do I have regarding the collection, disclosure and distribution of personally identifiable information collected through the website?

We generally use personally identifiable information collected through the Website as described in this Website Privacy Policy or as authorized by you or as otherwise disclosed at the time we request such information from you. You generally must “opt in” and give us permission to use your personally identifiable information collected through the Website for other purposes. You may also change your preference and “opt out” of receiving communications from us by following the directions provided in association with the communication, or by contacting privacy.office@medviewhealth.com.

Do not track

The term “Do Not Track” refers to a HTTP header offered by certain web browsers to request that websites refrain from tracking the user. We take no action in response to Do Not Track requests.

Can I update or correct my personally identifiable information collected through the website?

You have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information collected through the Website as follows. You can contact us in order to (subject to the following paragraph) (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information or (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us by contacting privacy.office@medviewhealth.com. Such updates, corrections, deletions and changes will have no effect on other information that we maintain or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Website Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, or change. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections.  You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it may not be technologically possible to update, delete or change each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your personally identifiable information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. After receiving your request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to update, correct, delete or change, as appropriate, all personally identifiable information collected through the Website and stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably practicable.

How will I know if there are any changes to this website privacy policy?

You should be aware that we may revise this Website Privacy Policy from time to time. For clarification but not limitation, we may make non-significant changes to this Website Privacy Policy that generally will not significantly affect our use of your personally identifiable information without providing an “opt-out” option, and your continued use of the Website following the posting of non-significant changes to this Website Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to check this page periodically for any changes. If any changes to this Website Privacy Policy are unacceptable to you, you must immediately contact us and, until the issue is resolved, stop using the Website.
