Patient User Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 2024
We at HealthSnap Inc. (“we”, “us”, “the Company”, or “HealthSnap”) value your privacy and are committed to keeping your personal data confidential. We use your data solely in the context of providing the HealthSnap application (“App”) and HealthSnap website (collectively, the “Platform”), providing remote patient monitoring (“RPM”) services and chronic care management (“CCM”) services, including all relevant content and functionality associated with the Platform and the RPM services (collectively, the “Services”) for use by qualified physicians (“Provider Users”) to provide services and care to patients (“Patient Users”). If you are reading this Patient User Privacy Policy, you are a Patient User.
Privacy Policy Applicability
This Patient User Privacy Policy applies to personal data that HealthSnap collects from Patient Users of the HealthSnap Platform and the Services (“Personal Data”). The term “Personal Data” includes any information that can be used on its own or with other information in combination to identify or contact one of our users. Some of the Personal Data we collect and transmit may be considered “health data” (i.e., data related to your physical or mental health), “protected health information” or “PHI” (i.e., information that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition(s); the provision of health care to you; or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to you), and/or medical records as defined by state law.
We believe that privacy and transparency about the use of your Personal Data are of utmost importance. Therefore, our privacy practices are intended to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and relevant state law related to the use and disclosure of medical records, where applicable. Additionally, in this Patient User Privacy Policy, we provide you detailed information about our collection, use, maintenance, and disclosure of your Personal Data. The Patient User Privacy Policy explains what kind of information we collect, when and how we might use your Personal Data, how we protect Personal Data, and your rights regarding your Personal Data.
For additional information related to how we use and disclose your Personal Data, health data, PHI, and/or medical records data, please contact our Privacy Officer at misha@healthsnap.io.

We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy(ies) of every site you visit.

What Personal Data Does HealthSnap Collect?
We collect four types of information from our Patient Users: (i) demographic data; (ii) medical data; (iii) support data; and (iv) technology data. Each category of data is explained in depth below.
Demographic Data: HealthSnap collects demographic data from Patient Users, which may include, but not be limited to, your name, birth year, gender, height, weight, phone number, and e-mail address. The collection of this demographic data is primarily used to create your User Account, which you can use to securely receive the Services.
Medical Data: In addition to demographic information, we will collect information regarding your health conditions, including, but not limited to, images, age, gender, weight, height, medical history, symptoms, and communications between you and your healthcare provider who is providing services to you via the Platform. We collect this information to provide you with the Services and to provide your health care provider (i.e., the Provider User associated with your account) with the information required to provide medical treatment through the Platform.
Support Data: If you contact us for support or to lodge a complaint, we may collect technical or other information from you through log files and other technologies, some of which may qualify as Personal Data (e.g., IP address). Such information will be used for the purposes of troubleshooting, customer support, software updates, and improvement of the Platform and related Services in accordance with this Patient User Privacy Policy. Calls with HealthSnap may be recorded or monitored for training, quality assurance, customer service, and reference purposes.

HealthSnap uses third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of the Platform as part of our Services. The analytics services we use may include, but are not limited to: Google Analytics.
Where Is Personal Data Processed?
The Personal Data we collect through the Platform will be stored on secure servers in the United States. Personal Data may be transmitted to third parties, which parties may store or maintain the data on their secure servers. These third parties are not permitted to transfer your Personal Data outside of the United States. The App is “native” to your device, meaning information you enter into the App may also be stored directly on the device that you use to access and enter information into the App.
With Whom Does HealthSnap Share Personal Data?
We may share your personal information with the following categories of individuals/entities:
Business Partners and Vendors: We share Personal Data with a limited number of partners, service providers, and other persons/entities who help run our business (“Business Partners”). Specifically, we may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services, provide Services on our behalf, perform Service-related functions, or assist us in analyzing how our Services are used. Our Business Partners are contractually bound to protect your Personal Data and to use it only for the limited purpose(s) for which it is shared. Business Partners’ use of Personal Data may include, but is not limited to, the provision of services such as data hosting, IT services, customer services, and payment processing.
Our Advisors: We may share your Personal Data with third parties that provide advisory services to HealthSnap, including, but not limited to, our lawyers, auditors, accountants, and banks (collectively, “Advisors”). Personal Data will only be shared with Advisors if HealthSnap has a legitimate business interest in the sharing of such data.
Provider Users: To use the Services, Patient Users must be affiliated with one or more Provider Users. As part of the Services, we will share your Personal Data with your specified Provider User(s). If at any point you want to deny access to one or more Provider Users, you can do so by emailing support@healthsnap.io.
Third Parties Upon Your Direction or Consent: You may direct HealthSnap to share your Personal Data with third parties. Upon your request and consent, we may share such Personal Data with those third parties that you identify.
Third Parties Pursuant to Business Transfers: In the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of HealthSnap’s corporate entity, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings), we may share your Personal Data with a third party.

How Long Does HealthSnap Retain Personal Data?
HealthSnap retains your Personal Data only as long as necessary and as required for our business operations, the provision of Services, archival purposes, and/or to satisfy legal requirements. The exact period of retention will depend on: (i) the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data; (ii) the personal risk of harm for unauthorized use or disclosure; (iii) the purposes for which we process your Personal Data, including whether those purposes can be achieved through other means; and (iv) business operations and legal requirements. In general, HealthSnap will not retain your data after your User Account is closed (the “Retention Period”); however, the above factors may extend or decrease this Retention Period.
At the end of the applicable Retention Period, we will remove your Personal Data from our databases and will require that our Business Partners remove any identifiable Personal Data from their databases. If there is any data that we are unable to delete entirely from our systems for technical reasons, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further processing of such data. Please note that once we disclose your Personal Data to third parties, we may not be able to access that Personal Data and we cannot force the deletion or modification of such information by third parties.
HealthSnap and its Business Partners reserve the right to continue using de-identified data indefinitely, even after Personal Data has been removed from HealthSnap’s databases. We may continue to disclose de-identified data to third parties in a manner that does not reveal personal information, as described in this Patient User Privacy Policy. Our continued use of de-identified data will comport with applicable law.
What Happens to Personal Data Submitted by Minors?
HealthSnap does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18. Additionally, our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We request that these individuals not provide Personal Data to us. If we learn that Personal Data from users under the age of 18 has been collected, we will deactivate the User Account associated with that data and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you are aware of a user under the age of 18 accessing the Services or Platform, please contact us at security@healthsnap.io.

What Is HealthSnap’s Cookie Policy?
Cookies are small files that a web server sends to your computer or device when you visit a web application that uses cookies to keep track of your activity on that site. Cookies also exist within applications when a browser is needed to view or display certain content within the application. Cookies hold a small amount of data specific to a web application, which can later be used to help remember information you entered in the application (like your email or username), preferences selected, and movement within the application. We use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, better serve you with more tailored information, and to facilitate efficient and secure access to the Services.
Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Data. Further, we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with any other Personal Data to identify you. However, we do use cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Services and may associate that information with your User Account (if one exists).
Presently, HealthSnap uses cookies for Google Analytics. In addition, HealthSnap may also collect information using pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies. This information may be used in connection with website pages and HTML formatted email messages to, among other things, track the actions of users and email recipients and compile statistics about usage and response rates.
How Can Patient Users Opt Out of Cookies?
If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and reject cookies. If you enable a do not track signal or otherwise configure your browsers to prevent us from collecting cookies, you will need to reenter your login information each time you visit the login page. You may also be unable to take advantage of some of the Services.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Some web browsers may transmit do not track (“DNT”) signals to websites with which the user communicates. To date, there is no industry standard for DNT and users cannot know how a given company responds to a DNT signal they receive from browsers. HealthSnap is committed to remaining apprised of DNT standards. However, HealthSnap does not support DNT browser settings and does not currently participate in any DNT frameworks that would allow HealthSnap to respond to signals or other mechanisms regarding the collection of your personal information.
