HOW DO WE SECURE AND RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION?
The security of your personal information is important to us. iVisitMD™ takes all reasonable steps to protect the security of your personal information.
During the process of registration with iVisitMD™, a unique code is the identifier generated for each user registration. The personal information, such first and last name, age, gender and address entered by a registering user is never used in any communications and the user is being identified by code only. While by using the Acute Symptoms Check feature users consent to supply iVisitMD™ with limited information relevant to the symptoms they are experiencing, such information is shared with medical facilities and/or professionals only in an encrypted and de-identified format.
We keep user information on a secured server behind a firewall. When users enter personal information, we use encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect such information during data transport. DESPITE IVISITMD'S EFFORTS TO PROTECT PERSONAL 6 INFORMATION, WE CANNOT ENSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION TRANSMITTED TO US, AND USERS DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK. ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS VIA THE INTERNET ARE NOT NECESSARILY SECURE FROM INTERCEPTION, AND SO WE CANNOT ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OR CONFIDENTIALITY OF SUCH TRANSMISSIONS. THERE IS ALWAYS SOME RISK THAT AN UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY MAY FIND A WAY AROUND OUR SECURITY SYSTEMS OR THAT TRANSMISSIONS OF YOUR INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET MAY BE INTERCEPTED.
