Information we collect automatically.
Clinisen and our third-party partners, such as analytics service providers, may collect certain information automatically when you use our Clinisen Services, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, device and advertising identifiers, browser type, operating system, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before and after using the Clinisen Services, the date and time of the Patient’s visit, information about the links you click and pages you view within Clinisen Services, and other standard server log information. We may also collect certain location information when you use our Clinisen Services, such as your computer’s IP address, your mobile device’s GPS signal, or information about nearby WiFi access points and cell towers.
We may use cookies, pixel tags, Local Shared Objects, and similar technologies to automatically collect this information. Cookies are small bits of information that are stored by your computer’s web browser. Pixel tags are very small images or small pieces of data embedded in images, also known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs,” that can recognize cookies, the time and date a page is viewed, a description of the page where the pixel tag is placed, and similar information from your computer or device. Local Shared Objects (sometimes referred to as “Flash Cookies”) are similar to standard cookies except that they can be larger and are downloaded to a computer or mobile device by the Adobe Flash media player. By using the Clinisen Services, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies.
We may also collect technical data to address and fix technical problems and improve our Clinisen Services, including the memory state of your device when a system or app crash occurs while using our Clinisen Services. Your device or browser settings may permit you to control the collection of this technical data. This data may include parts of a document you were using when a problem occurred, or the contents of your communications. By using the Clinisen Services, you are consenting to the collection of this technical data.
Information we obtain from health care providers and other sources. In connection with the Patient’s treatment, we may collect medical records from their past, current, and future health care providers. This may include information about their diagnosis, previous treatments, general health, laboratory and pathology test results and reports, social histories, any family history of illness, and records about phone calls and emails related to their illness.
Some of our users, including the Providers, are subject to laws and regulations governing the use and disclosure of health information they create or receive. Included among them is the 21st Century Cures Act, HIPAA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health of 2009 (“HITECH”), and the regulations adopted thereunder. When we store, process or transmit “individually identifiable health information” (as such term is defined by HIPAA) on behalf of the Provider who has entered a Healthcare Provider User Agreement, we do so as its “business associate” (as also defined by HIPAA). Under this agreement, Clinisen is prohibited from using individually identifiable health information in a manner that the provider itself may not. Clinisen is required to, among other things, apply reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information we store and process on behalf of such providers. Clinisen is subject to laws and regulations governing the use and information of certain personal and health information, including HIPAA, when it operates as a business associate of a healthcare provider.
We may also receive information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organizations. We may combine our first-party data, such as your email address or name, with third-party data from other sources and use this to contact you (e.g. through direct mail). For example, if you access third-party services, such as Facebook, Google, or Twitter, through the Clinisen Services to login to the Clinisen Services or to share information about your experience on the Clinisen Services with others, we may collect information from these third-party services.
