Privacy Policy

GoDoctor and our affiliates and subsidiaries (“GoDoctor,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of your information, and we have prepared this Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) to provide you (the “Providers”) with important information about the privacy practices applicable to the GoDoctor software, websites services, telemedicine product, and any other website referred to in this Privacy Policy.

Patients and providers can use the GoDoctor Services to handle appointments, personal health data, correspondence, and other relevant tasks. GoDoctor works as a service provider for health care providers and does not own or control the information supplied to us through the GoDoctor Services, with the exception of information obtained through our websites at https://www.godoctor.app/ The information supplied through the GoDoctor Services will be retained in accordance with the needs of our health service provider customers as well as relevant law, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

This Privacy Policy applies to any information collected by us from Providers, Patients (as defined below), third parties at the direction of users, and Provider systems, as well as through the GoDoctor Services, that can be used to readily identify, contact, or locate an individual (“Personal Information”). Identifiable health information collected about you is likewise considered “personal information.” We do not regard information that has been anonymized so that a third party cannot easily identify a specific individual to be Personal Information.

This Privacy Policy does not represent the Providers’ privacy practices, and GoDoctor is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of our Providers. GoDoctor does not examine, comment on, or monitor a Provider’s HIPAA Notice or compliance with their separate privacy policies, nor does GoDoctor examine our clients’ instructions to see if they are in accordance or contradict with their public privacy policies or relevant legislation.

Information Gathering

When you or your patients use the GoDoctor Services, we may collect the following types of information (including Personal Information and PHI):

We receive information directly from you or the patients. We may collect any or all of the following sorts of information from Patients when they register, utilize our online services (through our websites or applications), our telemedicine services, subscribe to our alerts, or contact us directly for particular activities:

Contact information, including complete names, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses for you and the patients;

Payment information, such as your or the Patients’ credit card number, expiration date, and credit card security code; Username and password; Gender, date of birth, languages spoken, educational background, address, photograph, social security number, Tax ID, NPI number, professional license information, and bank account information; information about your employment, such as your job title, practice area, primary specialty, and medical license status; information about your employment, such as your job title, practice area, primary specialty, and medical license status; information about your employment, such as your job title, practice area, primary specialty, and medical license status; information about your employment, such as your job title

We may combine this information with information about you or the Patients that we already have.

We collect data in an automated manner. When you use our GoDoctor Services, GoDoctor and our third-party partners, such as analytics service providers, may automatically collect certain information, such as your IP address, device and advertising identifiers, browser type, operating system, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before and after using the GoDoctor Services, and the date and time of the Patient’s occurrence.

To collect this information automatically, we may use cookies, pixel tags, Local Shared Objects, and other similar technologies. Cookies are little data files that your web browser saves on your computer. Pixel tags, also known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs,” are very small images or small pieces of data inserted in images that may detect cookies, the time and date a page is seen, a description of the page where the pixel tag is placed, and other information from your computer or device.

We get information from health-care professionals and other places. We may get medical records from the Patient’s past, current, and prospective health care providers in connection with their treatment. Information on their diagnosis, previous treatments, general health, laboratory and pathology test results and reports, social histories, any family history of sickness, and recordings of phone calls and emails relating to their condition are all possible. Some of our users, such as Providers, are bound by laws and regulations that control the use and sharing of health information that they produce or receive. The 21st Century Cures Act, HIPAA, and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH”), as well as the regulations enacted under it, are among them. We act as the Provider’s “business partner” when we store, handle, or transmit “individually identifiable health information” (as defined by HIPAA) on behalf of the Provider who has signed a Healthcare Provider User Agreement (as also defined by HIPAA).

GoDoctor is barred from utilizing individually identifiable health information in a way that the provider is not permitted to do. GoDoctor is expected to take reasonable and adequate steps to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personally identifiable health information that we keep and process on behalf of these providers, among other things. When GoDoctor acts as a business associate of a healthcare provider, it is subject to rules and regulations controlling the use and disclosure of sensitive personal and health information, including HIPAA.

Other sources, such as third-party services and organizations, may also provide us with information about you. We may combine first-party data from you, such as your email address or name, with third-party data from other sources and contact you as a result (e.g. through direct mail). For example, if you use the GoDoctor Services to connect to third-party services like Facebook, Google, or Twitter, or to share information about your GoDoctor Services experience with others, we may collect information from these third-party services.
