AMCH has created this Privacy Policy to explain what information we gather from you when you use the AMCH Services, how we may use this information, the security approaches we use to protect your information, and how you can access and request modification of certain information that we may store about you. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected via the AMCH Services – it does not apply to information you disclose to AMCH through other means. This Privacy Policy is incorporated and made part of the AMCH Terms of Service. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions.

1.0   YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

If you use any AMCH Service following a change in this Privacy Policy, your use will be understood to signal that you accept and agree to be bound by the changes. Accordingly, we urge you to review this Privacy Policy frequently for changes.

2.0   COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

2.1 For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any data, information or set of information that identifies or could be used by or on behalf of AMCH to uniquely identify an individual. Personal Information does not include information that is encoded or anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public Personal Information.

2.2 We collect Personal Information and other non-individually identifiable information from you when you register on the AMCH Services, create an AMCH User ID, register for a webinar, participate in an online survey, respond to communication such as e-mail, or otherwise use the AMCH Services in any manner. To participate in certain features of the AMCH Services, you will be required to provide certain Personal Information. For example, when registering as a user on any AMCH Service, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, birth date, mailing address, zip code, phone number or other Personal Information. You may, however, visit portions of the AMCH Services without providing any Personal Information. If you use AMCH Services to connect to a health care provider, that healthcare provider and other providers in the same health care practice will have access to Personal Information in your account for purposes of your treatment. While you are not required to provide us with Personal Information, failure to do so may limit your ability to use certain functions of our AMCH Services or to request certain services or information from us.

2.3 If you choose to upload any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) via the Service, including Protected Health Information (“PHI”) as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and related state data privacy laws, this Privacy Policy covers how AMCH collects, receives, uses, retains, and discloses such PII and PHI across the AMCH Services. PHI includes information relating to your health, for example medical history, test and laboratory results, insurance information and other data that you upload and share with a healthcare professional, and data that a healthcare professional collects to identify an individual and determine appropriate care. PII and PHI may include other types of information depending on the legal definition that applies in your physical location. Only the definitions of PII and PHI that apply in your location will apply to you under this Privacy Policy.

2.4 We may collect and use mobile device identifiers, IP addresses and session identifiers to analyze trends, to administer the AMCH Services, to track user activities, to infer user interests, and to otherwise induce, deduce, and gather information about individual users and market segments. Like many web sites and certain mobile apps, we use and may allow third party service providers to use “cookies”, flash cookies, local shared objects, web beacons, pixels, single pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, and/or other tracking technologies to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to the AMCH Services, including how you use the AMCH Services (“Usage Data”).

6.0   SAFEGUARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

6.1 AMCH follows generally accepted industry security standards to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, loss, theft or misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no security system is impenetrable and, while we make every effort to safeguard your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of the AMCH Services, nor can we guarantee that the Personal Information you supply is completely secure from people who might attempt to evade our security measures or intercept transmission over the Internet, and we are not liable for the illegal acts of third parties such as criminal hackers. As a result, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any Personal Information submitted to or otherwise collected during your use of any AMCH Service. Accordingly, you understand and agree that you will transmit all data, including Personal Information, to us at your own risk.

6.2 When you use some AMCH products, services, or applications or post on an AMCH forum, chat room, or social network service, the Personal Information you share may be visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the Personal Information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.

  • STORING YOUR INFORMATION

The information on or accompanying the bill may include information that identifies you, as well as information about the services or products that were provided to you. We may also disclose your PHI to other health care providers or covered entities you are associated with, who may need it for their payment activities related to their engagement with you.

These Third Party Service Providers, referred to as Business Associates and/or Business Associate Subcontractors, may need to access your PHI to perform services for us and in such case we will use our best efforts to ensure they are required by contract and law to protect your PHI and only use and disclose it as necessary to perform their services for us.
  • Family Members: We may disclose your PHI to a family member, other relative, friend, or other individual identified by you, who is involved in your medical care or payment for your care, provided you agree to this disclosure, you had an opportunity to object and did not do so, or we infer from the circumstances in our professional judgment that the disclosure is appropriate.

  • Safety, Quality Management, Public Health, and FDA: We may disclose your PHI to relevant authorities to prevent or control product recalls, repairs, or replacements.

  • Restrict Uses and Disclosures of PHI: You have the right to request additional restrictions on our use or disclosure of your PHI. We are not required to agree to these additional restrictions except in the case where the disclosure is to a health plan for purposes of conducting payment or health care operations, or otherwise required by law. Note, we will not disclose your health information to a health plan for purposes of payment or health care operations when the information relates solely to a service or product for which you paid out-of-pocket in full.
  • Amendment of PHI: If you feel that PHI we maintain about you is incomplete or incorrect, you may request that we amend it. Your request must be in writing, and it must explain why the information should be amended. We may deny your request under certain circumstances.

If you request this accounting more than once in a 12-month period, we may charge you a reasonable, cost based fee for responding to these additional requests.
  • PHI Breach Notification: If we become aware that your PHI has been breached and the privacy or security of the information has been compromised, you have the right to be notified of the breach without unreasonable delay and in no event later than 60 days following our discovery of the breach.
