PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE YOUMERO WEBSITE
- PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Youmero compilation of health, fitness, and medical records (“Website”) is hosted by Youmero.
(“Youmero”). Any reference to “we,” “our,” or “us” refers to Youmero. By visiting this Site, you agree to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use or access this
Site. Youmero may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time and post such modifications here on this Site.
Your continued use of the Site after any such modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified agreement.
By registering or subscribing through this Site, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your Personal
Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
- APPLICABILITY OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy applies solely to the Website and provides you information on the specific information that
Youmero may collect from you via the Website and how Youmero may use it in connection with the services
offered by the Website (the “Portal”), whether you are using the Portal as a patient, medical provider, or other.
We have established this privacy policy to explain to you how your personal information is protected, collected,
and used. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable, such as your name,
address, phone number, and email address, that is not otherwise publicly available (“Personal Information”).
Additionally, any information on the Website is considered PHR Data. PHR Data might include, but is not limited to
(i) your name and contact information, such as your address, phone number, or email address; (ii) your medical
history, conditions, treatments, and medications; (iii) your healthcare claims, health plan account numbers,
bills, and insurance information; (iv) demographic information, such as your age, gender, ethnicity, and
occupation; and (v) computer information, such as your IP address and “cookie” preferences. The privacy practices
of this statement apply to our services available through this website located at URL www.headsuphealth.com.
If you are a patient or legal representative, your medical provider’s use and disclosure of your PHR Data is
subject to your medical provider’s Notice of Privacy Practices. We cannot control any medical provider’s use of a
patient’s PHR Data. If you are a patient or legal representative of a patient, please contact your medical
provider for a copy of their Notice of Privacy Practices. Youmero provides this Portal but protects PHR Data as
required by the applicable agreement between Youmero and your medical provider and in accordance with
applicable law. If you have any issues with the PHR Data managed by your medical provider’s practice, please
contact them directly, as we have no ability to change the information you have provided them.
- INFORMATION COLLECTION
Youmero collects Personal Information from you through the Site to allow us and our business partners to
provide marketing and promotional services that will most likely meet your needs and preferences. We only collect
Personal Information about you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose.
In general, you can browse the Site and decide to not provide us any Personal Information. Of course, you will not
be able to view any PHR Data without providing us Personal Information. If you agree to provide us with Personal
Information, you are no longer anonymous to us. If you choose to use certain services through this Site, we may
require you to provide contact and identity information, and other Personal Information as indicated on the forms
throughout the Site. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which are optional. You always have
the option to not provide information by choosing not to use a particular service.
We may track certain information based upon your behavior on the Site. We use this information to do internal
research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand our customers. This information
may include the URL that you just came from, which URL you go to next, your computer browser information, and your
IP address.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us
correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may collect and retain such information in a file
specific to you.
- PHR DATA
When you register for the Website via the Site, the registration process requires you to choose a user name and
password for your account, which you should keep and maintain as confidential. If you choose to share your user
name and password you understand that those individuals to whom you share that information will have access to
your PHR Data and will be able to add to your PHR Data as though they were you. You will be responsible for all
activities by users resulting from sharing or not maintaining the confidentiality of your user name or password.
If you are a registered user of the Website, your PHR Data (or that of the person for whom you are the legal
representative) currently stored electronically in your medical provider records will become accessible to
Youmero in order to provide you access to such information through the Website. Your electronic health records
are not permanently stored in the Website or Site, but a temporary copy of them is displayed via the Website when
you are logged in with your user name and password.
- USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use your Personal Information, including your email address, to facilitate our services. You agree that we may
use Personal Information, including your email address, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to
analyze site usage, to improve our content and service offerings, and to customize the Site’s content, layout, and
services.
We will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties except to:
-
Affiliated companies who may only use the Personal Information for the purposes described above.
-
• Service providers who are bound by law or contract to protect the Personal Information and are only allowed
to use the Personal Information in accordance with the terms of our service agreements with them.
-
• Effect a merger, acquisition, or otherwise; to support the sale or transfer of business assets; to enforce
our rights or protect our property; to protect the rights, property or safety of others, investigate fraud,
respond to a government request; or as needed to support auditing, compliance, and corporate governance
functions. We may also disclose Personal Information to defend ourselves in litigation or a regulatory action,
and when required or advised to do so by law, such as in response to a subpoena, or similar legal process,
including to law enforcement agencies, regulators, and courts in the United States and other countries where
we operate.
-
• We encourage business partners to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Personal
Information by such parties is governed by the privacy policies of such parties and is not subject to our
control.
We may also disclose information about you that is not personally identifiable. For example, we may provide our
business partners, or other third parties with reports that contain aggregated and statistical data about our
users.
- AGGREGATE DATA
We may aggregate and de-identify in accordance with HIPAA PHR Data, either alone or with other data to create
anonymous “aggregate data” regarding the users of our Site and Website. Aggregate and de-identified data is
information that describes the habits, treatment plans, usage patterns, other medical record data and/or
demographics of users as a group but does not reveal the identity of particular users. This data will not identify
you, but will be used as statistical information to determine such things as user demographics and usage patterns
of our Site and Website. Youmero may use aggregate data to understand the needs of our community of users and
determine what kinds of programs and services we can help provide. Aggregate data may also be provided or sold to
third parties, including for the purpose of getting targeted content to you by third party vendors, suppliers,
business partners and/or affiliates a picture of our community and services and/or participation in surveys or
receipt of emails from third parties.
- OTHER USE AND OWNERSHIP
We also reserve the right to share your information collected from this Site or Website with third parties to the
extent permitted by applicable law including but not limited to the requirements under HIPAA, and, in the case of
PHR Data, pursuant to Youmero’s business associate agreement with the applicable medical provider.
Youmero maintains full rights to any information collected on this Site or Website, and may freely collect, use
and disclose such information unless prohibited by this Privacy Policy or applicable law as stated above.
- COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE SITE
We may occasionally send you information on our services offerings. Out of respect for your privacy, we provide
you a way to unsubscribe from each of these communications. If you no longer wish to receive our promotional
communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each such
communication or by contacting us.
You will be notified when your Personal Information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service
provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.
- SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to
protect personal information, including your email address, submitted to us, both during transmission and once we
receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot
guarantee its absolute security. Accordingly, and while no web site can guarantee security, we maintain physical,
administrative, electronic, technical and procedural safeguards to help protect your personal information
collected via the Website as required by applicable law. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration
to data will not occur, we use industry standards, such as Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”) technology, to help
safeguard against such occurrences. In certain areas, the information passed between your browser and our system
is encrypted with SSL technology (which covers any messages, PII or communications a person directs to Youmero
or the clinician team) to create a protected connection between you and our website to ensure confidentiality.
Our data center is both physically and electronically secured. Our servers are protected from open access to the
Internet by using firewall and encryption technology. We limit access to personally identifiable information about
you to our employees and third-party agents, who we reasonably believe need to have access to your information to
provide you with the information or services you request via the Website.
In the event that a breach in our security systems occurs and there is a possibility that an unauthorized person
acquires your personal information, we will notify you of such a breach as may be required by applicable law.
In order to help maintain security, you should never share your user ID or password and should always sign out
when you are finished using the Website.
- ACCESS
We will maintain your information and allow you to request updates at any time by logging into your Website
account to access your information. We will also take steps to make sure that any updates that you provide are
processed in a timely and complete manner.
- LOG FILES
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This
information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does
not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the
site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this
automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. We track trends in users’ usage and volume
statistics to create a more efficient and usable site and product offerings, and to determine areas of the site or
our services that could be improved to enhance the user and customer experience. Log files are used on the Site,
and in any link to the Site from an email.
- COOKIES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
When you use this Site, we collect certain information by automated or electronic means, using technologies such
as cookies, browser analysis tools, and web server logs. As you use this Site, or our applications, your browser
and other electronic devices communicate with servers operated by us and our services providers to coordinate and
record the interactivity and fill your requests for services and information.
The information from cookies and related technology is stored in web server logs and also in web cookies kept on
your computers or mobile devices, which are then transmitted back to this Site by your computers or mobile
devices. These servers are operated and the cookies managed by us or our service providers.
For example, when you visit this Site, Youmero and our service providers and business partners may place
cookies on your computers or mobile devices. Cookies allow us to recognize you when you return, and track and
target your interests in order to provide a customized experience. They also help us provide a customized
experience and help us to detect certain kinds of fraud. A “cookie” is a small amount of information that a web
server sends to your browser that stores information about your account and preferences.
Some cookies are temporary, whereas others may be configured to last longer. “Session” cookies are temporary
cookies used for various reasons, such as to manage page views. Your browser usually erases session cookies once
you exit your browser. “Persistent” cookies are more permanent cookies that are stored on your computers or mobile
devices even beyond when you exit your browser. We use persistent cookies for a number of purposes, such as
retrieving certain information you have previously provided, and storing your preferences.
- MANAGE YOUR SECURITY SETTINGS
You may manage how your browser handles cookies and related technologies by adjusting its privacy and security
settings. Browsers are different, so refer to instructions related to your browser to learn about cookie-related
and other privacy and security settings that may be available. You can opt-out of being targeted by certain third
party advertising companies online at www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp or
