HIPPA
Pharmacy, to the extent it is a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996
(“HIPAA”) has its own privacy and security obligations with respect to your PHI. We
encourage you to contact Pharmacy
regarding their privacy and security practices (for more information regarding your
rights under HIPAA, see
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy).
To the extent we are a “business associate” of Pharmacy under HIPAA, we have agreements
in place with Pharmacy requiring
us to only use and disclose your PHI as Pharmacy is permitted to under HIPAA. This
Privacy Policy and the privacy and
security practices described in this Privacy Policy are designed to comply with these
agreements. As such, among other
obligations, we will:
use reasonable and appropriate safeguards to keep your PHI that we collect private and
confidential;
alert you in accordance with the guidelines set forth under HIPAA if we are made aware
of any unauthorized access to
your PHI that we have collected; and
provide you access in a reasonable time and manner to your PHI we have collected and
make any reasonably requested
amendment thereto.
PrimeMed of Ozark may de-identify Personal Health Information pursuant to the Health
Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and aggregate patient’s de-identified information with
other PrimeMed of Ozark patient
information, and use such aggregated information for population based research
activities and analytics; Treatment,
payment, enrollment, or eligibility for benefits are not conditioned upon patient
reviewing the privacy policy; when
information is used or disclosed, it may be subject to re-disclosure and may no longer
be protected by state or federal
privacy regulations.
Acknowledgement regarding SMS messages and push notifications.

text messaging rates or other
carrier charges may apply to such use. Further, to the extent the Products has push

RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS, INCLUDING
COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM OR ON BEHALF OF US, PHARMACY AND PARTNERS.
Security of your Sensitive Information.
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your
Sensitive Information. These
safeguards include storing your Sensitive Information on our secure servers behind
firewalls and using encryption
technology. Despite the actions and precautions we take, no data transmissions over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be
100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of your Sensitive
Information and you acknowledge
and agree that you transmit it to us at your own risk. However, as noted above, we will
alert you in accordance with the
guidelines set forth under HIPAA if we are made aware of any unauthorized access to your
PHI that we have collected.
Third party products, services and technologies.
We may provide links to third-party products on the Products or in other communications
to you. These links may appear
as a specific domain name or URL or may be activated by clicking on an advertisement or
other icon or graphic. Please be
aware that other products and services, including the products of third parties that you
connect with through the
Products, may collect personally identifiable information about you. We cannot control
and are not responsible for the
information collection practices of any third-party products, services or applications.
We encourage you to carefully
review their terms of use, privacy policies, and any other legal notifications before
using or providing information
through such products, services or applications.
Further, the Products may employ third party technologies that require you to accept
such third party’s terms. This
Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of those third-party
technologies.
Children’s and dependent’s privacy.
While the Products are not intended for use by children under the age of 13, certain
care givers may use these Products
for the care of children under the age of 13. We apply the same rigorous privacy
policies set forth in the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 to children’s information. If you
are aware of information that has
been submitted to the Products on behalf of a child under the age of 13 and believe this
submission was made in error or
with malice intent, please report immediately to support@tristatecommunitypharmacy.com.
Additionally, when you submit Sensitive Information, on behalf of your dependents or
patients, you warrant that you have
the express permission of such person to do so. If you do not have permission to do so,
you should not submit such
