- PRIVACY AND SECURITY
- Overview. At Modernizing Medicine Podiatry Systems, Inc. (“Modernizing Medicine”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), our mission is to transform how healthcare information is created, consumed, and utilized to increase practice efficiency and improve patient outcomes. As such, we understand the importance of privacy and security.
- Security. We use reasonable safeguards aimed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the personal information we collect and maintain. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we can’t guarantee the security of any information or that unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction or some other data breach will not occur. Please keep in mind that no data transmitted over the Internet is 100% secure and any information disclosed online can potentially be collected and used by parties other than the intended recipient.
- Children’s Information. We do not expect to collect information, including personal information as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and believe he or she has disclosed personal information to us, you may contact us at privacy@modmed.com to request that we delete and stop use of that information. If we learn that we have received any information directly from a child under age 13 without first receiving his or her parent’s verified consent, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the child that he or she cannot use our products or services. We will then subsequently delete that child’s information.
- Links to Other Sites. Our products and services may contain links to other sites and other products and services that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other sites, products, and services.

- Scope.
- This section 2 is intended to describe your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). This section 2 provides rights and other terms relating to CCPA Personal Information (defined below). These rights and other terms are only available to California residents about whom we collect CCPA Personal Information
- In this section 2, when we talk about “CCPA Personal Information”, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household as set forth in the CCPA.
- You should be aware that CCPA Personal Information doesn’t include:
- Publicly available information from government records,
- De-identified or aggregated consumer information, and
- Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as:
- Protected Health Information (which is personally identifiable health information that is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations), information subject to the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, or clinical trial data; or
- “Business to business” information, which is information related to communications or transactions between a business collecting the information and a consumer who is acting on behalf of another business where the communications or transaction relate solely to an exchange of products or services between the two businesses.
- Your Rights and Choices under the CCPA. Below please find a description of key rights California consumers have under the CCPA and an explanation of how to exercise those rights with us.
- The Right to Know. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your CCPA Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and verify your request, we will disclose to you:

- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that CCPA Personal Information.

Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your CCPA Personal Information from our records, unless an exception under the CCPA applies.
- We may deny your deletion request for reasons permitted by the CCPA. For example, if the information is excluded from the CCPA or does not constitute CCPA Personal Information, such as Protected Health Information held on behalf of a healthcare provider who uses our products or services. Please submit all requests related to your Protected Health Information directly to your healthcare provider. We may also deny your deletion request if the information is required to complete the transaction for which the information was collected or for us or your provider (as applicable) to provide you with requested goods or services.
- Exercising Your Right to Know and Right to Deletion.

We will only use the CCPA Personal Information you provide to us in response to this request to verify your identity and to process your request, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose.
- You may use an authorized agent to submit a Right to Know or Right to Deletion request. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request for you. To protect your CCPA Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit adequate proof that you authorized them to act for you.
