3. Transparency/Notice—Types of Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It

The types of Personal Information we may collect (directly from you or from Third-Party sources) and our privacy practices depend on the nature of the relationship you have with us and the requirements of applicable law. Some of the ways that we may collect Personal Information about you include:

• You may provide Personal Information directly to Vim through interacting with the Services or from Vim’s Third-Party sources, such as a healthcare plan or medical provider, and when requesting Services or other information from us.

We endeavor to collect only that information which is relevant for the purposes of Processing. Below are the ways we collect Personal Information and how we use it.

 

3.1 Types of Personal Information We Collect

Vim collects Personal Information regarding its current, prospective, and former clients, customers, including medical providers, users, such as healthcare plan participants, visitors and guests (collectively “Individuals”).

• Information You Provide Directly to Us. When you use the Services or engage in certain activities, such as register for an account with us, sign up for newsletters, respond to surveys, submit comments, reviews or other user-generated content, connect or interact with us on social networks, such as Facebook or Google+, request Services, technical support or information or contact us directly, we may ask you to provide some or all of the following types of information:

• Photos of medical providers for members facing platforms: If you are a medical provider which subscribed to a member facing service, we may process and store your photos for members to see. Vim may use these photos for the purpose of, including but not limited to, providing information on the personnel, the facility, practice information, and appointment information through member-facing platforms. By using our services and/or executing our SOW you hereby provide Vim with your consent to use your photos as described herein and subject to this privacy policy. If you are acting on medical providers’ behalf you hereby represent and warrant that you have the authority to grant this permission and that your facility or practice group has obtained the necessary written consents to grant Vim the permission to use these photos. You will hold harmless and waive all claims against Vim, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licenses, affiliates, subsidiaries, consultants, independent contractors, third party service providers, members and customers for any and all liability from property damage, personal injuries, or other claims arising from or in connection with Vim’s use of the photos.
• Communications with Us. We may collect Personal Information from you such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, payment card information and medical information including your medical provider’s name and contact information, or if you are a medical provider, the name of the clinic you are associated with, when you choose to request information about our Services, register for our newsletter or request to receive customer or technical support or otherwise communicate with us.

• Surveys. From time to time, we may contact you to participate in online surveys. If you do decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information which may include Personal Information. All information collected from your participation in our surveys is provided by you voluntarily. We may use such information to improve our products, Sites and/or services and in any manner consistent with the policies provided herein.

• Posting on the Site. We may offer publicly accessible blogs, private messages or community forums. You should be aware that, when you disclose information about yourself in or on our blogs, private messages and community forums, the Site will collect the information you provide in such submissions, including any Personal Information. If you choose to submit content to any public area of the Site, such content will be considered “public” and will not be subject to the privacy protections set forth herein.

• Automatic Data Collection. We may collect certain information automatically through our Services or other methods of web analysis, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising identifiers, MAC address, IMEI, Advertiser ID, and other device identifiers that are automatically assigned to your computer or device when you access the Internet, browser type and language, geo-location information, hardware type, operating system, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before and after using the Services, the date and time of your visit, the amount of time you spend on each page, information about the links you click and pages you view within the Services and other actions taken through use of the Services such as preferences.

• Information Submitted Via Services. You agree that Vim is free to use the content of any communications submitted by you via the Services, including any ideas, inventions, concepts, techniques, or know-how disclosed therein, for any purpose including developing, manufacturing, and/or marketing goods or Services. Vim will not release your name or otherwise publicize the fact that you submitted materials or other information to us unless: (a) you grant us permission to do so; (b) we first send notice to you that the materials or other information you submit to a particular part of a Service will be published or otherwise used with your name on it; or (c) we are required to do so by law.

• Information from Other Sources. We may receive information about you from other sources, including through Third-Party services and organizations that we interact with to supplement information provided by you.

• Protected Health Information under HIPAA.  Some of the Third Parties that we may interact with, such as healthcare providers and healthcare plans, are subject to laws and regulations governing the use and disclosure Protected Health Information (as defined under the United States’ Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended from time to time, together with its associated regulations, collectively “HIPAA”) that they create, receive, maintain or disclose when providing medical services such as treatment or payment for medical services. When we create, receive, maintain or disclose Protected Health Information about you on behalf of our Third-Party healthcare providers or healthcare plans we may do so under the terms of an agreement, called a Business Associate Agreement, which lays forth the uses in which we are able to use or disclose your Protect Health Information as part of our Services. For this Policy, the term “healthcare provider” means any user who is a “health care provider” (as defined by HIPAA) or any user who is a member of that health care provider’s “workforce” (as also defined by HIPAA). Without the use of your Protected Health Information which we reasonably require, we may not be able to provide you with the information or Services you have requested as you will be unable to register as a user.

• Registration to the Platform or Site. Prior to your registration to our Site or Services, and in order to enable such registration, we may receive Personal Information about you from a clinic you are associated with or your healthcare plan. We require this information about you in order to verify your identity and eligibility to gain access to the Site or Services. If you are not found eligible to gain access to the Site or Services, we will discard your Personal Information.

• Payment Information.  If you pay for a healthcare provider’s services through us, we may collect payment card information from you through a Third-Party service provider, including your name, expiration date, authentication code and billing address.  We will securely transmit this information consistent with payment card industry rules to the appropriate payment facilitators. We may offer you the option to save information about the method and choice of payment on our Site. If you save this payment card information on our Site, you will be able to add, remove or modify that information at any time using your account settings.
