Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service (available at http://www.medtango.com/home/terms#about_terms).
As used in this Privacy Policy, the terms "using" and "processing" information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, combining, disclosing and transferring information within the United States or internationally.
1. Information Collection and Use
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Service, to administer your Website registration, and to enable Website visitors to enjoy and easily navigate the Website.
When you wish to contact us, apply to become a registered Website user, participate in a survey, or when you join our mailing lists or use our Service to submit an electronic communication or post Content, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Information"). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, e-mail address, and mobile telephone number.
We also collect other information that you provide or give us access to when you use the Website including, without limitation, your field of medical specialty ("Non-Identifying Information").
We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide the Website, authenticate your Website account registration, and to administer your inquiries and communicate with you. We may also use your Personal Information in other ways naturally associated with the circumstances in which you provided the information .
Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other Non-Identifying information. We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other visitors or sources to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Service and to analyze and understand how our Service is used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically.
We may also use your Personal Information to send you our marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions, if any, provided in our communications to you, or contact us via e-mail at the address specified at the end of this Privacy Policy (See " Changing or Deleting Information," below). Please note that we may also use your Personal Information to contact you with notifications related to your use of the Website; you may not opt out of these notifications.
Public Forums
We may offer message boards, bulletin boards or similar public forums where you and other users of our Service can communicate. The protections described in this Privacy Policy do not apply when you provide information (including personally identifiable information about any person) in connection with your use of these public forums. We may use Personal Information and Non-Identifying Information about you to identify you with a posting in a public forum. Any information you share in a public forum is public information and may be seen or collected by other persons, including third parties that do not adhere to our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for events arising from the distribution of any information you choose to publicly post or share through our Service. You must not engage in any conduct or disclose any information in violation of HIPPA or other applicable laws or regulations protecting medical privacy and/or patient information.
Log Data
When you visit the Website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Website, pages of our Website that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Website, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Website and for the Website's technical administration, to increase our Website's functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor the Service to our visitors' needs. We do not treat Log Data as Personal Information or use it in association with Personal Information, though we may aggregate, analyze and evaluate such information for the same purposes as stated above regarding other Non-Identifying Information.
Cookies
Like many websites, we use "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We may use cookies to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how you interact with the Service and to monitor aggregate usage by visitors and web traffic routing on the Website. Third party advertisers on the Website may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Website or all functionality of the Website.
Phishing
Identity theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great concern to us. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information or social security number or national identification numbers in an unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov.
2. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell or share your Personal Information. Non-Identifying Information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Third Party Service Providers
We or our affiliated companies may engage third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, and to perform Website-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and improvement of the Website’s features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information. If they do, this access is only so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they will be obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of WorldOne, its affiliates or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable.
Data Transfer
Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, we transfer Personal Information to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Business Transfers
WorldOne may sell, transfer or otherwise disclose some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.
3. General.
Changing or Deleting Your Information
If you would like us to change or delete your Personal Information in our system, please contact us and we will attempt to accommodate your request if we do not have any legal obligation to retain the Personal Information. See below for contact information. Please note we may retain server/backup copies of all such data.
Security
We are very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access.
We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored "personal data" (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on our Website in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

Our Website contains links to other websites. The fact that we link to a website or display a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with any of those third parties, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other sites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
