2/ Privacy Policy 


1/ Terms of Use

These terms of use (these "Terms") apply to visitors of Hippocrate's ("we" "us" or "our") website Hippocrate.org, as well as registered users of our Hippocrate information and technology services and mobile applications (our "Services"). Please review these Terms carefully. Please also review our Privacy Policy, which explains how our Services treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use our Services. By accessing our Services, you are agreeing to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. ACCESSING OUR SERVICES

1.1 Public Services

By using the HIPPOCRATE products, you agree that you shall be solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws, including the US HIPAA, Canadian PIPEDA and the GDPR's obligations for controllers of EU personal data about EU data subjects with respect to your use of the Hippocrate product.
HIPPOCRATE is not compliant with the EU GDPR, Canadian PIPEDA and the US HIPAA.
                We make some Services available without registering or obtaining a password. We call these "Public Services." You may make personal, non-commercial use of the Public Services so long as you comply with these Terms. This personal use includes linking to information appearing in the Public Services, provided you do not represent yourself as an employee, agent or representative of Hippocrate. Personal use also includes temporary caching by your browser or a proxy server.
              

If you operate a free, public search engine that has made a public commitment to adhering to the robots.txt protocol, together with our Sitemaps and Crawl-delay directive (collectively, the "Protocol"), you may crawl, index and publish hyperlinks (including so-called "deep links") to the Public Services, so long as (i) you do so in compliance with the Protocol instructions published in applicable locations on our Services, (ii) you do not directly or indirectly receive remuneration in connection with the provision or display of said hyperlinks and cached pages, and (iii) if your user-agent is disallowed by us in our Protocol instructions or we otherwise notify you in writing, you shall cease all crawling of our Services. We call such a free, public search engine satisfying the requirements of clauses (i) through (iii), a "Public Search Engine," and the Public Search Engine's combined performance of clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, "Public Search Services." We may revoke the foregoing authorizations at any time as indicated in our Protocol instructions.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. This means that if you wish to use the Public Services in a way that is not authorized above, you must receive our permission prior to such use.

1.2 Protected Services

Some of our Services are protected by technical measures intended to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of sensitive information our users store and share using our Services. We call these "Protected Services." One such safeguard is requiring each user to be properly authenticated by various means (which we call, "Credentials"), such as unique identifiers, API keys, passwords, and the like. In order to obtain Credentials, you must provide certain information about yourself. If you are registering for a Protected Service, or accessing or using, or attempting to access or use, a Protected Service on behalf of, or for the benefit of, someone other than yourself - such as your employer, client or customer (each, a "Principal") - you must also identify and provide information about each Principal.

If you sign up for one of our Protected Services you may be asked to agree to a user agreement (your "User Agreement"). In such cases, you will be asked to expressly consent to your User Agreement, for example, by checking a box or clicking on a button with terms such as "I agree" or "Create my EHR" or the like. In the event of a conflict between the terms of your User Agreement and of these Terms, the terms of your User Agreement shall control.

Your Credentials are unique to you. You should immediately notify us here if your Credentials have been stolen or compromised. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Credentials until you have properly notified us that your Credentials have been stolen or compromised. Further, you represent, warrant and covenant that:

·         the information you submit in obtaining your Credentials is complete and accurate and identifies you and the name of each of your Principals;

·         you will not share your Credentials with anyone else;

·         you will not circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, any technical measures that we have put in place to safeguard the Protected Services;

·         you will not, without our prior written approval, access or use, or attempt to access or use, any portion of the Protected Services other than with (i) a commercial browser (such as Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox), (ii) an application made for mobile or handheld device(s) that is developed and distributed by us, or (iii) our application programming interface ("API") using Credentials issued to you directly by us, and only us; and

·         You will not access or use, or attempt to access or use, a Protected Service without validly-issued active Credentials.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to any Protected Service at any time, with or without cause or notice. We shall not be liable to you in any way if we suspend or terminate your access to a Protected Service or our Services.

1.3 Additional Safeguards

To further protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information housed and shared on our Services, as well as the stability of our Services, you agree to the following additional safeguards. Accordingly, you agree that you will not, nor will you attempt to:

·         access, use or disseminate our Services, nor any information or files accessible via our Services, in a manner that violates any applicable law or regulation or the rights of any individual or entity;

·         sell or transfer any information included in our Services or use such information to market any product or service - including by sending, or facilitating the sending of, unsolicited emails or SPAM;

·         probe, scan or test the vulnerability of our Services, or of the system or network supporting our Services, or circumvent any security or authentication measures;

·         disable, bypass, defeat, avoid, remove, deactivate or otherwise circumvent any technical measures we have implemented to safeguard the stability of our Services, or the confidentiality, integrity or availability of any information, content or data hosted or housed on our Services;

·         introduce to our Services any software, code or other device that in any way (i) permits unauthorized access to our systems or any software, hardware, files or data located thereon, (ii) disables or damages or otherwise interferes with or adversely affects the operation of our systems or any software, hardware, files or data located thereon, or (iii) overburdens or interferes with the proper functioning of our Services;

·         disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer our Services;

·         harvest, retrieve, index or publish any portion of our Services unless you are a Public Search Engine engaging in Public Search Services;

·         disable or circumvent our API usage safeguards, including safeguards designed to regulate the nature or amount of data you are permitted to extract from our Services, or the frequency of which you may access such data; or make calls to our API other than those authorized in our API documentation;

·         remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices contained in or on our Services; or

·         engage in any activity other than those expressly permitted in these Terms and your User Agreement(s).

1.4 Use of the Services by and on behalf of Minors

You are not eligible to use our Services (including obtaining a Credential or entering into a User Agreement) unless you are at least 18 years old and otherwise have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you are an unemancipated minor over the age of 13, you may only use our Services if: (i) such use has been approved of by your parent or legal guardian, (ii) you use our Services under his or her supervision, and (iii) he or she has agreed to these Terms (and, if applicable, your User Agreement) on your behalf.

If you are the parent or guardian of an unemancipated minor, you may use the Services and enter into a User Agreement on behalf of such minor. By doing so, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to act on behalf of such minor; and you acknowledge and agree, in such capacity, that all provisions of these Terms (and User Agreement, if applicable) that apply to you are equally applicable to such minor.

Under no circumstances may our Services be used by a child under 13 years old.

1.5 Responsibility

By using HIPPOCRATE services, you accept that HIPPOCRATE doesn't have any responsibility in using HIPPOCRATE services. And if you lose your data HIPPOCRATE is not accountable for the data stored in their databases.

2. NATURE OF THE CONTENT APPEARING ON OUR SERVICES

2.1 Overview

Our Services may include text, data, graphics, images, video or other content (collectively, "Content") created by us or third parties, including other users, professionals, partners, advertisers, sponsors, consumers and governmental agencies. The Content is provided for general informational purposes, but should not be relied upon for personal, professional, medical or regulatory decisions. And we do not ensure the completeness, timeliness or accuracy of the Content.

2.2 Blog Posts; Ratings; Surveys; Comments; User-Submitted Content

Our Services allow you to access blogs, message boards, chat services, surveys and other forums where various users can share information, opinions, chats and other Content. We generally do not pre-screen or monitor user-submitted Content, and such Content may simply represent a user's opinion or Content a user finds interesting. Our Services may also include survey results, ratings or testimonials ("Evaluations") from patients, clients or other customers ("Patients") of healthcare professionals ("Professionals") that may endorse, recommend, critique, analyze, evaluate or otherwise describe the Professionals and the nature or quality of the services received by such patient, client or customer. Such Evaluations are anecdotal first-hand accounts of individual Patients and are neither professional judgments nor the product of medical science. Such Evaluations do not in any way constitute or imply our endorsement or recommendation of any Professional. Further, Evaluations are subject to errors and biases that are common in anecdotal first-hand accounts, and should not be presumed to be reliable or error-free.

2.3 Directories: Physicians, Consultants, and Other Professionals

Our Services include listings and directories ("Directories") to help you find physicians, healthcare professionals, certified consultants or other professionals (collectively, "Professionals"). The Directories are provided for your convenience. The Directories are not comprehensive, but rather generally represent Professionals who use our Services and who have chosen to participate in the Directories. Further, we do not evaluate any Professional and the listing of a Professional does not in any way constitute a recommendation of such Professional. Before obtaining services or treatment from any Professional listed in a Directory, you should take the same care you would under any other circumstance, including by confirming licensure and speciality certifications. The Professionals are solely responsible for the appropriateness and quality of the services they provide. Additionally, the Directories rely on information submitted by Professionals themselves. Unless Professionals provide us with current information, the Directory information may not be timely or accurate. You should confirm such information before obtaining services or treatment from a Professional. As a convenience, the Services may permit you to request an appointment with a Professional. However, Professionals are responsible for maintaining their own schedules, and we cannot ensure that any given Professional will be available, nor that such Professional will not cancel his or her appointment.

Our Services could use product reviews as marketing assets.

2.4 Advertising

Our Services may include advertisements or promotional messages sponsored by third parties (collectively, "Ads"). The manufacturers, services providers, distributors and resellers of the products and services identified in the Ads are solely responsible for the accuracy of their Ads and the suitability, efficacy, safety and quality of such products or services. An Ad does not in any way constitute or imply our recommendation or endorsement of such product or service.

2.5 Links to Other Sites

Our Services may contain hyperlinks (including hyperlinked Ads) to websites operated by third parties, or to materials or information made available by third parties. Such links do not constitute or imply our endorsement of such third parties, or of the content of their sites, or the suitability, efficacy, safety or quality of their products or services, or the information privacy or security practices of their websites.

Our Services may include crypto-mining.

2.6 No Medical Advice

Some Content may include health- or medical-related information. Such Content is provided for general informational purposes only. We do not directly or indirectly practice medicine, render medical advice, or dispense medical services via our Services or otherwise, and nothing contained in our Services should be intended to be a medical diagnosis or treatment. No medical professional/patient relationship is created by your use of our Services or the Content. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health professional with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, and never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking treatment based on any Content or other information included in the Services. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your healthcare professional or your local emergency number (usually 911) immediately.

2.7 Clinical Decision Support Information

If you are a Professional, the Content may include information to assist you in clinical decision-making. This may include information and reminders concerning drug interactions, allergies, dosages, as well as general healthcare related information and resources. We may also provide forums for our users to exchange information. The information and materials available through our Services are for informational purposes only and are not intended to constitute professional advice, diagnosis or treatment, or to substitute for your professional judgment.

2.8 No Legal or Regulatory Advice

Some Content may include regulatory related information pertaining to you or your business. Such Content is provided for informational purposes only. We are not providing legal or regulatory advice and no attorney/client relationship is created by your use of our Services or the Content. Accordingly, always seek the advice of your attorney or advisors with any questions you may have regarding a law, regulation, or dispute.

·         Preparing and delivering announcements about features, functionality, terms of use, or other aspects of our Services;

How our Services Allow Users to Share Information:

One-on-One Communications:

Our Services can be used to facilitate one-on-one communications users and other persons. Examples include:

·         When you request to make an appointment with your healthcare provider;

·         When your healthcare provider sends you a secure message to your patient portal; or

·         When your provider sends you an appointment confirmation or cancellation notice.

In any one-on-one communication, the communication may include contact and other personally identifiable information.

Directories:

The Services include a public directory of healthcare professionals, one or more of which you may desire to book an appointment with. If you visit our Services seeking to contact or schedule an appointment with a provider listed in one of our directories, you may need to submit personally identifiable and other information.

Public Forums:

Our Services include public forums that allow users to communicate with groups of users or the general public. Information a user posts in one of our communities may be available to a wide range of individuals and should be presumed public. We strongly advise users to exercise care in selecting what information they share with our communities or public forums, and strongly recommend against sharing any personally identifiable, health, or other sensitive information that could directly or indirectly be traced to any individual, including themselves.

Surveys and Feedback:

From time to time you may receive survey requests through emails or displays within our Services that request feedback regarding your satisfaction with our Services or the services of our healthcare provider users, or other topics. These communications will frequently be either on behalf of your healthcare provider. If you choose to respond to one of these survey requests, you may be asked to provide information that may be used to supplement information that you submitted to our Services. This information may be shared with your healthcare provider or you may otherwise be informed within the survey request itself.

Records:

Our Services allow users to store personally identifiable and health information ("Records"), including Records that identify other individuals, such as your doctor or a relative. Certain of our Services permit users to share all or portions of these Records at their discretion.

You should be aware that this Policy covers only the information you submit to our Services. If you contact or exchange information with another user in person or through a means other than our Services, such activity is not covered by this Policy. Because our Services enable users to share information you share with them, you should take care in selecting with whom you share your Records and other information. Although our Services process such transmissions, we are not responsible for the actions of persons with whom you share your Records and other information.

Emails and Other Communications:

Our Services allow users to communicate with others through our in-product instant messaging services, Service-branded emails, and other electronic communication channels. Communications that are sent by or on behalf of a user are indicated as being "From" that user, such as when our Services send an appointment notification from, and on behalf of, a healthcare provider to his or her patient. Additionally, we may communicate administrative or Service-related announcements through email or other communications within our Services. These communications may be "real time" communications or communications triggered automatically upon the occurrence of certain events or dates – such as a repeated sign-in failure or an appointment notification. Please note that you may not be able to opt out of receiving certain messages from us.

Sharing of Information

We may share information you submit to us with third parties under the following circumstances:

·         When you choose to share such information through our Services, such as "one-on-one" communications between a healthcare provider and a patient;

·         With third party service providers ;

·         To protect our Services, the information we collect, and the rights of us, our users, and any third parties;

·         To detect, prevent, investigate, or address fraud, illegal activity, or violations of our terms and agreements;

·         In response to legal processes, such as a search warrant, court order, or subpoena, or when we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so;

·         With our current and future subsidiaries or corporate affiliates or actual or potential investors;

·         In connection with a potential or actual sale, merger, transfer, exchange, reorganization or other disposition (whether of assets, stock, or otherwise) of all or a portion of the business conducted by our Services. If such a transaction occurs, the acquiring company's use of your information will remain subject to this Policy, as may be subsequently amended;

·         Any other purposes described in this Policy or your User Agreement; or

·         When we otherwise have your permission.

Security

To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and protect against the inappropriate use of the information we collect, store, and transmit, we deploy a range of technical, physical and administrative safeguards. Under our Terms of Use and applicable law, we are required to apply reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of individually identifiable health information residing on, and processed by, those elements of our Services. It is important to remember, however, that no system can guarantee 100% security at all times. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of information stored on or transmitted to or from our Services.

Third Party Services

This Policy applies only to our Services. It does not apply to services offered by third parties, including websites and other online services that our Services may display links to or to content appearing within the Services. When you click on such links or content, you may be visiting websites or interactive services operated by third parties, who have their own information collection practices and may also collect information through the use of Engagement Tools. We do not have control over how any third party collects or uses information, so you should review their privacy policies to learn about their practices.

Changes to this Policy

We believe in continuous innovation, which, along with changes in our business, may require that we amend this Policy from time to time. We will post a revised Policy along with its effective date on this page. Because this Policy can change at any time, we encourage you to reread it periodically to see if there have been any changes, amendments, or updates. If you object to the changes or any terms within this Policy or the User Agreements, you should discontinue using our Services. Your continued use of our Services following the effective date means that you have consented to the Policy, as amended, changed, or updated.

Viewing and Updating Your Information

Our Services aim to provide you with access to the information you submit and the means to update it within our Services consistent with applicable law. This can be accomplished by logging into our Services and updating that information, although please be advised of the important limitations described below. Under certain circumstances, you may be required to undergo an authentication or access control procedure.

Please note that if your healthcare provider has enabled you to receive a patient portal account pursuant to the Privacy Policy, your healthcare provider also retains the ability to revoke your access to your patient portal account at any time. Patients should submit any questions or requests regarding access to their patient portal accounts directly to the healthcare provider that authorized the account.

If you have used our Services to share information with another user or a third party, you will not be able to access, update, or delete that shared information. Further, if another user of our services submits information that identifies you, you will not be able to access, update, or delete that information.

Certain users – such as healthcare providers – may be required under applicable laws or regulations to retain information about you for extended periods of time or indefinitely. Additionally, we may have independent obligations under applicable laws or regulations to retain such information indefinitely. Finally, for disaster recovery and business continuity purposes, we retain copies of data stored by our Services for indefinite periods of time.
