Introduction

Med911 understands how important the privacy of personal information is to our users. We urge you to read this privacy statement carefully.

Security of Information

Keeping your records safe is a primary concern of Med911. Med911 takes reasonable precautions to protect your personal information. For example, Med911 uses 128-bit encryption to protect your data. Our servers are protected by state-of-the–art firewall technology. We use an advanced logging system to monitor and record every action taken within Med911. This system allows us to quickly identify potential hackers and immediately commence any required investigation. Your session will expire after thirty (30) minutes of inactivity. In addition, strict password rules are in place to prevent users from choosing common or easy to determine passwords. If you allow someone to obtain your password or you lose or someone steals a document prepared or held by you containing your password, Med911 is not responsible for any viewing or obtaining of your medical information resulting from these actions. As such, you should keep your password secure and change it whenever you feel it is necessary.

These measures are designed and intended to prevent corruption of data, block unknown or unauthorized access to our systems and information, and to provide reasonable protection of private information in our possession. This information should not be construed as warranting as fail proof the security of information provided to Med911. You should also know that we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, to comply with a court order or to comply with other legal process properly served on Med911.

Note that Med911 is not responsible for the privacy or security practices or cookie or web beacon use of web sites linked to the Med911 site. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these other sites when you leave our web site.

Med911 personnel will only access information where needed to perform his or her specific job responsibilities. At times, Med911’s operations and maintenance contractors may have limited access to your personal information in the course of providing products or services to Med911. Access to your personal information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the contractor to perform its functions for Med911.

Use of Information

Your personal health information will only be used as set forth in this web site. Your personally identifiable information will not be sold, loaned or rented to third parties for the purpose of profit or for any other reason without your explicit authorization. We will not use your personally identifiable information for market research purposes unless you provide us with prior authorization. We may use your personal health information to provide you with information that describes a product or service offered by Med911, where you opt in to receive such information. We will never disclose your personally identifiable information to any third party without your explicit authorization.

We may provide you with the option of receiving recurring informational or promotional newsletters via e-mail from Med911. In this regard, we may use your personal health information to make these e-mail communications to you where the information is directly related to your treatment, case management, care coordination, or possible treatment alternatives. We may also use your information to forward to you information of interest from third parties. Any information provided to you from a third party will be provided solely through Med911. If you sign up to receive our e-mail newsletters, you can choose to opt-out of receiving additional promotional e-mails from Med911 at any time.

From time to time, Med911 may conduct online research surveys in order to gather feedback about our site, our sponsors and/or healthcare issues, through e-mail invitations, pop-up surveys and online focus groups. In this regard, we will ask you if you would like to participate in the survey. You may decline or you may participate. If you choose to participate, the information that you submit is used for research purposes and not for sales solicitation. When a survey is sponsored by a third party, aggregate, anonymous information of the survey results, that is information that does not contain any information that could personally identify you or any other participant, is reported to the sponsor. Personally identifiable information collected through market research will only be used by Med911 and will not be given or sold to a third party without your consent.

In other situations, Med911 may combine, in a non-identifiable, anonymous format, the personal health information you provide with information from other users to create aggregate data that may be disclosed to third parties. Aggregate data does not contain any information that could be used to identify or contact you. In certain instances, Med911 may receive a fee for this aggregate data.
