1. Use of Data of Users not Subject to GDPR, General Privacy Practices
If you are not a participant in a clinical trial and not subject to the GDPR, the following privacy practices shall be applicable e.g., if you simply visit our website or if you are Patient using our solution, a Provider, or Authorized Personnel, as such terms are defined below.
We will use and disclose a Patient’s health information only to provide Services to the Patient or the Provider, for those uses and disclosures permitted by applicable law and the agreement that we have with your Provider, and for any other purpose to which you specifically consent. In the event that there is a conflict or inconsistency about the handling of health information between (i) this Privacy Policy and (ii) our compliance obligations with applicable law and contractual commitments with Providers, then the latter will govern.
Our services have been developed for the sponsors of clinical trials and population health studies, and potentially hospitals and medical groups (“Providers”) and for patients who are using the Site and/or Applications under the direction of a Provider (“Patients”) to facilitate and coordinate patient medication adherence. Providers and personnel who are authorized to access and use the Site and Applications with respect to a Patient’s information, including, without limitation, administrators, clinicians, physicians, nurses, and other caregivers are described here as Authorized Personnel.
