FreedomCare Notice of Privacy Practices

I. Uses & Disclosures

We may use and/or disclose your information for the following purposes:

  • Treatment: We may use your information to provide you patient care and/or other health- related services.
    For example, we automatically enroll you with our telemedicine provider partners, and we share the information that you provide (either directly or through your caregiver) to us with the telemedicine provider so that they may provide this service.
  • Operations: We may use your information to run our practice, improve your care, and/or contact you, when necessary.
    For example, we use health information about you to manage your treatment and services.
  • Payment: We use your information to bill and receive payment from health plans and other entities.
    For example, we use information about you to bill your health insurance plan so it will pay for your services.

We only share your personal information with third parties as required by law or contract, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we are required to share certain information with patient health plans and the Medflyt in order to provide our service (information about your visits with patients; location, time in and out, photographs and signatures). We must also share information regarding caregiver hours worked with the Medflyt in order to properly bill patient insurance plans and arrange for caregiver payroll.

Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services providers to help us improve the Application and our service. Our service providers work on our behalf, do not have independent use of the information we disclose to them, and have agreed to comply with this privacy statement.

We are allowed and, in some instances, required by law to share your information for public health and safety issues. However, certain legal requirements must be met including our good faith belief that the law requires the disclosure prior to disclosing your information for these purposes. This may include instances where we are required to respond to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. For additional information, please see: www.hhs.gov. These situations include:

  • Reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence;
  • Preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone’s health or safety;
  • Conducting research;
  • Complying with applicable laws and regulations;
  • Addressing workers’ compensation, law enforcement, and other government requests; and/or
  • Responding to lawsuits and legal actions.

We may also use the information that we receive to:

  • Contact you from time to time to provide you with important information, required notices, and/or marketing promotions;
  • Help you efficiently access your information after you sign in;
  • Enhance your user experience, for example saving information so you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Application;
  • Provide, improve, test, and monitor the effectiveness of our Application, including developing and testing new products and features;
  • Monitor metrics, such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns;
  • Diagnose or fix technology problems; and/or

Regarding Biometric Information: We use this information to identify caregivers and patients and verify your time entries when using the Application. We do not disclose this information unless you consent to such disclosure; the disclosure completes a financial transaction requested or authorized by you or your legally authorized representative; the disclosure is required by State or federal law or municipal ordinance; or the disclosure is required pursuant to a valid warrant or subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

  • We only retain this information for a period of up to 10 years. After this time, FreedomCare will permanently destroy such data.
  • FreedomCare will store, transmit, and protect biometric data using a reasonable standard of care. Such storage, transmission, and protection from disclosure will be performed in a manner that is the same as or more protective than the manner in which FreedomCare stores, transmits, and protects from disclosure other confidential and sensitive information of FreedomCare.

If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of FreedomCare or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation), your information such as name and email address and any other information collected through the Application may be among the items sold or transferred. The buyer or transferee will have to honor the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy.

All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
