• • PRIVACY AND SECURITY
    • Overview. At Modernizing Medicine Podiatry Systems, Inc. (“Modernizing Medicine”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), our mission is to transform how healthcare information is created, consumed, and utilized to increase practice efficiency and improve patient outcomes. As such, we understand the importance of privacy and security.
    • Security. We use reasonable safeguards aimed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the personal information we collect and maintain. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we can’t guarantee the security of any information or that unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction or some other data breach will not occur. Please keep in mind that no data transmitted over the Internet is 100% secure and any information disclosed online can potentially be collected and used by parties other than the intended recipient.
    • Children’s Information. We do not expect to collect information, including personal information as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and believe he or she has disclosed personal information to us, you may contact us at privacy@modmed.com to request that we delete and stop use of that information. If we learn that we have received any information directly from a child under age 13 without first receiving his or her parent’s verified consent, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the child that he or she cannot use our products or services. We will then subsequently delete that child’s information.
    • Links to Other Sites. Our products and services may contain links to other sites and other products and services that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other sites, products, and services.

            • “Business to business” information, which is information related to communications or transactions between a business collecting the information and a consumer who is acting on behalf of another business where the communications or transaction relate solely to an exchange of products or services between the two businesses.
      • Your Rights and Choices under the CCPA. Below please find a description of key rights California consumers have under the CCPA and an explanation of how to exercise those rights with us.
        • The Right to Know. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your CCPA Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and verify your request, we will disclose to you:
          • The categories of CCPA Personal Information we collected about you.
          • The categories of sources for the CCPA Personal Information we collected about you.

          • We may deny your deletion request for reasons permitted by the CCPA. For example, if the information is excluded from the CCPA or does not constitute CCPA Personal Information, such as Protected Health Information held on behalf of a healthcare provider who uses our products or services. Please submit all requests related to your Protected Health Information directly to your healthcare provider. We may also deny your deletion request if the information is required to complete the transaction for which the information was collected or for us or your provider (as applicable) to provide you with requested goods or services.
        • Exercising Your Right to Know and Right to Deletion.
          • To exercise your Right to Know and Right to Deletion, please submit a request to us at the Contact Information below.
          • Only you or an authorized representative may make a request related to your CCPA Personal Information. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child.

          • only make a Right to Know or Right to Delete request twice within a 12-month period. The request must:

            • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
          • We will take steps to verify your identity before processing your Right to Know or Right to Delete request. If you have an account with us, we will use our existing account authentication practices to verify your identity. If you do not have an account with us, we may request additional information about you so that we can verify your identity. We will only use the CCPA Personal Information you provide to us in response to this request to verify your identity and to process your request, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose.
          • You may use an authorized agent to submit a Right to Know or Right to Deletion request. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request for you. To protect your CCPA Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit adequate proof that you authorized them to act for you.
          • We cannot respond to your request or provide you with CCPA Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the CCPA Personal Information relates to you.
        • Response Timing and Format. Once we have verified a request from a California consumer, we will try to respond within 45 days. If we need more time, we will tell you in writing why and how much longer we need, either by mail or electronically (based on your choice). Our responses will include the CCPA-required information.
