This is the Privacy Policy for all Web sites owned or operated by [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC], including, without Æ’limitation, the [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] (collectively, the Services). Your privacy is important to us and we have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use and protect Personal Information, Health Information and Non-Personal Information (each, as defined below) when you use the Services and your choices for managing your information preferences. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and the [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC]Terms of Service.
- Application of Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies solely to [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] and the [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected at any site or on any services not owned by [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC], including any third-party Web site reached through a link on or through the Services, and it does not apply to information submitted directly by you to third parties, including any third-party health care professionals, through the Services. You are responsible for reviewing and understanding the privacy policies (if any) of any such third parties. We have no control over, and we assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies or practices of any such third-party. By using the Services, you release [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] from any claim or liability arising from your use of any such third-party site or services.
- Information You Choose to Submit
Personal Information
We collect information that personally identifies you, such as your name, telephone number, email address, date of birth and other data which can be reasonably linked to such information (Personal Information) only if you choose to share such information with us. For example, you will be required to provide us with certain Personal Information to register with the Services, sign up for certain services available through the Services (such as text messages and other communications services which may offer you the ability to share information with third parties, such as health care professionals), and at other times. The decision to provide this information is optional; however, if you decide not to register or provide such information, you may not be able to use some or all of the features of the Services. Further, [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] offers location-enabled services, for example to locate a nearby doctor or pharmacy. If you use those services, [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] may receive information about your actual location (such as GPS signals sent by a mobile device) or information that can be used to approximate a location (such as a cell ID). You will have the option to disable collection and use of location information. However, doing so may prevent you from using some features of the Services, or limit the function of some features. You may review, correct, update or change your Personal Information, or remove your Personal Information from our direct marketing efforts, at any time by visiting your profile or account page on the Services, or by contacting us at: [[email protected]].
Health Information
[BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] offers you the ability to share your Health Information through certain services available on the Services. Health Information includes both Protected Health Information and Additional Health Information. Protected Health Information is personally identifiable information which relates to your health or payment for your health that is created or received by an entity covered under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), such as a third-party health care professional providing services through the Services. Protected Health Information includes the combination of your Personal Information and personal health information, such as medical records, medical history and/or information regarding a condition or treatment (e.g. information about symptoms, prescriptions, allergies, diagnoses and outcomes or side effects of treatment). Additional Health Information is any and all other personal health information which is not Protected Health Information, generally because such information was not created or received by a HIPAA-covered entity.
You have control over how much and the type of your Health Information you share, and with whom you share any such information, and you can update your Health Information at any time. [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] will not use or disclose your Health Information except as described in this Privacy Policy or with your express authorization.
Before sharing your Health Information with others or granting anyone else access to your account, you should be aware that [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] does not and cannot control how anyone else may use your information or account. Health Information you provide to others may not be protected, kept private, or be secure. If you allow someone else to have access to your account, they will have access to your Health Information, and they may share it with others. You are solely responsible for all use of your account, by yourself or anyone whom you permit to use it. [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] will not be liable for any disclosure or use of Health Information or other information by you or anyone using your account with your permission.
You should not upload any Health Information regarding any person other than yourself without that person€™s prior express consent. You must obtain the consent of your family member or any other person before you submit or share Health Information about that person. By submitting or sharing Health Information about a family member or anyone else, you represent and warrant that you have obtained that person€™s express consent to do so or that you otherwise have the legal authority to do so (e.g. because that person is a minor and you are the parent or legal guardian).

[BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] will further maintain the privacy of your Protected Health Information in accordance with federal HIPAA privacy rules and applicable state privacy laws, to the extent such laws impose additional privacy requirements.

We may use Personal Information and Health Information to facilitate health care services offered on or through the Services, and we may disclose such information to third-party health care service professionals with whom you choose to communicate. In addition, from time to time, we may establish a business relationship with other persons or entities whom we believe trustworthy and whom we have asked to confirm that their privacy practices are consistent with ours (Service Providers). For example, we may contract with Service Providers to provide certain services, such as hosting and maintenance, data storage and management services and marketing and promotions. We provide our Service Providers with the information reasonably necessary for them to perform these services. Each Service Provider must agree to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information involved in order to protect your information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure.
We may use, and disclose to third parties, certain Non-Personal Information regarding the Services (e.g., the total number of persons using particular medications, the aggregate number of inquiries from a particular geographic location, etc.). However, such information does not identify you individually.
We may work with third-party advertising companies which may use information about your visit to the Services in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you on the Services and on third-party Web sites. From the Services, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your computer or use other technologies such as Web beacons or pixel tags. Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that a third-party advertisement serving company may collect from you.

We may disclose your information with entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] for the purposes and to the extent permitted under this Privacy Policy. In certain instances, we may disclose your information when we believe it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities in order to protect [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] or our users, or when we believe that the law or legal process requires such disclosure. In addition, in the event that [BLUESTONE GLOBAL, LLC] is merged, sold or in the event of a transfer of some or all of our assets, we may disclose or transfer your information in connection with such transaction.

However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
