This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how Gaidge, LLC (“Gaidge” or “we” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and discloses information about you, including information we collect directly from you or automatically when you visit our websites, including www.gaidge.com and any other websites owned by Gaidge that link to or include this Policy including without limitation our cloud services platform (the “Cloud Services”) (collectively, the “Websites”), offline, or when you use our other products or services as described in this Policy (the Websites, products, and services are, collectively, our “Services”). Your participation in or use of any of our Services is voluntary and may be further subject to applicable subscription, support, terms, services, or other agreements between your organization and Gaidge. Gaidge is considered the “controller” of the information processing subject to this Policy.

Notice to Patients: If you are a patient of a Clinic, the Clinic and/or its practitioners control your patient information, including your contact information, billing details, and patient records, and this Policy does not apply to such information. Please contact your Clinic directly for any questions about your patient information. If a Clinic provides you access to our Services, except as you may otherwise indicate to us through your use of the Services or by withdrawing your consent as set out in this Policy, you consent to us disclosing your personal information to such Clinic, including your personal health information, for purposes of your Clinic providing you with care. See the section titled “PATIENT DATA” below for further information.

In this Policy, we use the word “you” to refer to any individual user of our Services, such an individual using and browsing our Websites or a practitioner or staff member at a clinic or practice, and we use the word “Clinic” to refer to anyone who has subscribed to and paid for our Cloud Services (for example, a health practice, clinic, or health practitioner).

Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Services. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to our collection of data and disclosure practices and other activities as described in this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see “Changes to Our Privacy Policy” below).  Your continued use of our Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Services that is defined as personal information, personal data, or personally identifiable information under an applicable law (“personal information”). This includes information:

For example, you may give us your name and contact information to communicate with you, to order a product, to process an order, to register for a service, to provide you with a subscription, or to do business with us if you are a supplier or a business partner. You may also provide your credit card details to buy something from us or may share a description of your education and work experience in connection with a job opening at Gaidge for which you wish to be considered. When you request information, download materials, enroll for a live or virtual event, request a trial, or respond to surveys, we ask you to provide your name and contact information, as well as other information in connection with your request. We use this information in connection with your request, to provide our Services and support, for marketing purposes, and to communicate with you. This information may also identify you when you visit our Websites.
  • Automatically collected when You Visit our Websites. We automatically collect information when you visit one of our Websites which helps us provide you with access to our Websites, operate our Websites, comply with various requirements (such as but not limited to security and legal requirements), and for other purposes described in this Policy. Such information includes passwords, IP address, location, and browser settings. For example, when you visit our Websites or access our Services, we log certain information that your browser sends us, such as your IP address (including information deriving from your IP address such as your geographic location), browser type, device identifiers (such as IP address or Ad Id), internet service provider, version, language, access time, duration of access, and referring and exiting website addresses.

For instance, we collect your name and contact information, details about your request, your order and your agreement with us, and the fulfillment, delivery, and invoicing of your order and we may use this information to provide future marketing messages and services. When you provide your name and contact information to register in connection with such a request, the registration serves to identify when and where you visit our Websites and any other digital property or activity.

When you visit our Websites, social media, or any other digital property, or when you use our Services, we collect information from you and provide you with personalized experiences based on data collected. From time to time, we also collect information that pertains to you through other sources, such as list vendors. When you register for an event, we collect additional information (online or offline) in relation to the event, and we also collect information during an event, such as participation in sessions and survey results. Events may be recorded and group photos taken. We reserve the right to use such recordings and photos for promotional use. When you provide us with your contact information (such as by handing over a business card), we use this to communicate with you. The information that we collect, either directly or indirectly, is combined to help us improve its overall accuracy and completeness, and to help us better tailor our interactions with you.

  • To audience matching services to reach people (or people similar to people) who have visited our Website or are identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched Ads”). This is done by us uploading a customer list to another party or incorporating a pixel or SDK from another party into our own Website, and the other party matching common factors between our data and their data or other datasets. For instance, we may incorporate the Meta pixel on our Service and may share your email address with Meta as part of our use of Facebook Custom Audiences. For more information, see “Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information” below.
  • To social media platforms. If you interact with us on social media platforms, the platform may be able to collect information about you and your interaction with us.

To control this sharing of information, please review the privacy policy of the relevant social media platform.
  • To fulfill the purpose for which you provided it.
  • To run our promotions, which may be jointly sponsored or offered by other parties.

PATIENT DATA

We provide products and services to Clinics, and collect and process information about their individual patients (including through tracking technologies) at the direction of the Clinics (“Patient Data”). Patient Data has historically included contact data, billing data, protected health information, demographic data, content, service use data, device data, and location data, among other information. Our processing of Patient Data is governed by the terms of our service agreements with the Clinics, and not this Policy. We are not responsible for how Clinics treat the information we collect on their behalf, and we recommend you review their own privacy policies, including their HIPAA Privacy Notices, and your agreements with your respective Clinic(s).

DATA SECURITY

We have implemented physical, administrative, and technical safeguards designed to help us protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we endeavor to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted via our Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in the Services.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

THIRD PARTY LINKS

We may provide you with general links to non-Gaidge websites. These third parties independently collect information from you and your use of these links and applications is subject to the third parties’ privacy policies, and you should become familiar with the third-party sites’ privacy policies before using the links or applications.

To allow you to interact with other websites on which you may have accounts (such as Facebook and other social media sites) or join communities on such sites, we may provide links or embed third-party applications that allow you to login, post content, or join communities from our websites.

Gaidge is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any other websites.

MINORS

The Services are intended for general audiences, and not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information (as defined by the U.S. Children’s Privacy Protection Act, or “COPPA”) from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected personal information in violation of COPPA, contact us at privacy@Gaidge.com. We will remove the personal information in accordance with COPPA. We do not knowingly “sell,” as that term is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, the personal information of minors under 16 years old who are California residents.

If you are a California resident under 18 years old and registered to use the Services, you can ask us to remove any content or information you have posted on the Services. To make a request, email us at the email address set out in “CONTACT INFORMATION” section below with “California Under 18 Content Removal Request” in the subject line, and tell us what you want removed. We will make reasonable, good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, although we cannot ensure the complete or comprehensive removal of the content and may retain the content as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

We are based in the U.S. and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. If you are accessing the Services from outside of the U.S., please be aware that information collected through the Services may be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Data protection laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions may be different from those of your country of residence. Your use of the Services or provision of any information therefore constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing, and storage of information about you in the U.S. and other jurisdictions as set out in this Policy.

ADDITIONAL STATE SPECIFIC NOTICES

The rights granted under these laws are not absolute, and Gaidge reserves all of its rights in that regard.

If you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide the name of the Clinic on whose behalf we processed your Patient Data. We will refer your request to that Clinic, and will support them to the extent required by applicable law in responding to your request.
