HOW DO WE PROTECT INFORMATION WE COLLECT? 

1. Security Measures.  Our Website and App use an SSL certificate as one security measure.  We also require username and passwords for our employees who can access the personal information of Users that we store and/or process on our Platform and servers. In addition, we actively prevent third parties from getting access to the personal information of Users that we store and/or process on our Platform and servers.  We accept payment by credit card and use a third party credit card processor.  We will implement reasonable security measures every time you (a) place an order, or (b) enter, submit, or access your information, (c) register, or (d) access our Platform, on our Website and App.  Furthermore, we require a personal identification number (“PIN”) before accessing PHI.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.  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 Platform, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.
