PERSONAL INFORMATION

PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

What is Protected Health Information?
"Protected Health Information" or PHI includes information, whether oral or recorded in any form or medium, that we receive from a Patient, his/her Authorized Caregiver or a doctor (or other health care providers) or that we create on behalf of a doctor (or other health care provider), (i) that relates to the past, present or future physical or mental condition of the Patient; the provision of health care to the Patient; or the past, present or future payment for the provision of health care to the Patient; and (ii) that identifies the Patient or with respect to which there is a reasonable basis to believe the information can be used to identify the Patient. “Protected Health Information” has the same meaning generally in this Privacy Policy as defined as the term “Protected Health Information” in 45 C.F.R. § 160.103.

HOW WE USE AND/OR DISCLOSE PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

We may use and/or disclose Protected Health Information in the same manner as Personal Information, described above, except our use and disclosure of Protected Health Information is further limited as provided by the administrative simplification provision of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 ("HITECH") and the Omnibus regulations promulgating Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information and Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information promulgated thereto. Specifically, as described above, all uses or disclosures of PHI shall require Patient authorization or a valid authorization on the patient's behalf, except: (1) uses or disclosures by or to the Patient; (2) uses or disclosures for treatment, payment or healthcare operations; (3) as part of any valid use or disclosure; or (4) in compliance with and pursuant to Applicable Law. KangarooHealth may disclose PHI for most other purposes only pursuant to Patient’s valid authorization, as follows: (1) for most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes; (2) for use or disclosure of PHI for marketing purposes; (3) for disclosures that constitute a sale of PHI; or (4) for other uses or disclosures that are not exempt from the authorization requirement. We will enter into business associate agreements with the Patient’s Providers who are "Covered Entities" when we are a "Business Associate," as those terms are defined by HIPAA. We will use and disclose Protected Health Information only for those uses and disclosures permitted by HIPAA and under the applicable business associate agreement. We may use or disclose Protected Health Information to provide Services to the Patient or the Provider. We may also use Protected Health Information for our proper management and administration or to carry out our legal responsibilities.

Unless combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Service.
● By aggregating information: Aggregated Personal Information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Service (for example, we may use Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who have chosen to receive messages by text messaging).

How We Disclose and Use Non-Personal Information

Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may use and disclose Non- Personal Information for any purpose whatsoever. In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical location). If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

IP ADDRESSES

Your "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP Address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user uses the Services, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many web sites. We use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Services. We may also use and disclose IP Addresses for all the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information. Please note that we treat IP Addresses, server log files and related information as Non-Personal Information, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law.

THIRD-PARTY SITES

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties. The inclusion of a link within the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site by us or by our affiliates.SECURITYWe use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information under our control, consistent with the Omnibus regulations promulgating Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information and Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below. Likewise, KangarooHealth will notify affected Providers and Patients of any breach of unsecured PHI within twenty-four (24) hours of notice and confirmation thereof.

Please note that in order to comply with certain requests to limit use of your Personal Information we may need to terminate your account with us and your ability to access and use the Services, and you agree that we will not be liable to you for such termination or for any refunds of prepaid fees paid by you. Although we will use reasonable efforts to do so, you understand that it may not be technologically possible to remove from our systems every record of your Personal Information. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means a copy of your Personal Information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate or remove.
