HEALTH INFORMATION PRIVACY NOTICE

(Last revised: December 1, 2014)

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED BY CANSURROUND, AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Notice, terms used in this Privacy Notice have the same meanings as in the CanSurround Terms of Use.

By submitting information to us and by using CanSurround’s Services, CanSurround will assume that you have read, understood, and consent to this Notice, the CanSurround Terms of Use, and all applicable CanSurround rules and policies. We also assume that you consent to CanSurround’s use of information and data as described in this Notice and the CanSurround Terms of Use. If you do not consent, you should not access or use the Website or Mobile Site.

1. Purpose of this Notice. CanSurround offers the Services, a mobile and Web-based platform that provides integrated services to support the reduction of psychosocial distress in the cancer experience for both patients and those caring for patients. The Services are available on-line at the CanSurround Website (the “Website”), as well as through a mobile browser on a phone or tablet (the “Mobile Site” and together with the Website, the “Site”). Through the Site, CanSurround may maintain health information about you that includes your name and information about your condition and treatment that you choose to provide on the Site (“Health Information”). Such Health Information may be obtained from you when you register as well as from your authorized Supporter Users. As used herein a User may be (1) a patient (“Patient”) or (2) another individual who is a caregiver or supporter of a patient (each, a “Caregiver” or “Supporter” and together with a Patient, each a “User”).

CanSurround protects the confidentiality of your Health Information as set forth in this Notice. In addition, CanSurround has a General Privacy Policy that further describes how we protect personal information provided or collected on the CanSurround website, as well as personal information collected on the Site and such General Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated by reference. You can view the General Privacy Policy.

When you use the Site our servers automatically record information that the Site collects or that the Mobile Site sends from your device. The information automatically collected by the Website and sent by the Mobile Site is referred to as “Usage Data.” Usage Data may include information such as the manufacturer and model of your mobile device; your Internet Service Provider (ISP); your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address (or other device identifier), browser type, and operating system; referring/exit pages; clickstream data; portions of the Website or Mobile Site you use, the time spent interacting with certain portions of the Website or Mobile Site, information you search for using the Website or Mobile Site, access times and dates; and other statistics. Usage Data may be non-identifying or it may be associated with you. Whenever we associate Usage Data with Health Information, we will treat it as Health Information.

This Notice applies only to the Site. This Notice does not apply to any products or services (including websites and software) managed, maintained, or hosted by third parties not directly affiliated with CanSurround that you may visit, e.g., via a link provided through the Site. CanSurround does not control the privacy policies of other products or services to which we may provide hyperlinks. We encourage you to learn more about the online privacy and data security policies of third party websites directly from such third parties, as their policies may differ from ours.

2. Collection of Health Information and Usage Data.

CanSurround may use a number of different techniques and technologies to collect Health Information and Usage Data. For example, CanSurround may use cookies, local storage, webview, device identifiers, log files, clear gifs, pixel tags, embedded scripts, and/or other technology used to monitor your CanSurround experience.

Collection of Health Information. Whether you access the Services through the Website or the Mobile Site, most of the Health Information collected is expressly requested from you and inputted by you. Additionally, as is regular practice on many websites, the Website and Mobile Site use cookies and other technologies to help us understand which parts of the Site are more popular and how much time Users spend there. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to and stored on your device from our server. Cookies allow you, for example, to enter your password less frequently or to remember your preferences during an online session. The Website includes only first-party cookies (i.e., no third-party cookies that send data directly to a party other than CanSurround). The cookies that CanSurround uses do not store Health Information or other personal information, but they may store non-identifying information. Since cookies are now used as industry standard, most devices automatically accept cookies. If you access the Site through a Web browser and you prefer not to enable cookies, you may choose to disable them; however, certain features on the Site may not be available to you once cookies are disabled.

Please note that if you use any bulletin board, chat room, comment posting feature, or other public communication service, forum, or feature offered by CanSurround , or post any information available for viewing by other Supporter Users that you invite, any of the information that you share will be visible to other Supporter Users that you invite. The information that you make available can be read, used, and collected by other Supporter Users to send you unsolicited messages outside of the Site. CanSurround is not responsible for the manner in which the information that you decide to share will be used by other Supporter Users.

Collection of Usage Data. Usage Data are collected automatically by the Website and Mobile Site. You agree that we may collect and use technical data and related information, including technical information about your device, system and application software, and peripherals, to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you related to CanSurround.

Additionally, in some of our email messages, CanSurround may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on a server operated by or on behalf of CanSurround. When a User clicks onto one of these URLs, the User will pass through our server before arriving at the destination Web page. CanSurround tracks this click-through data to help us determine User interest in certain subject matter and measure the effectiveness of these User communications. You can avoid being tracked in this way by not clicking text or graphic links in emails from CanSurround.

Finally, we may use clear gifs or pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images, in order: (i) to advise us of what parts of the Site Users have visited, (ii) to measure the effectiveness of any searches Users perform, and (iii) to enable us to send emails in a format that Users can read and tell us whether such emails have been opened in order to ensure us that we are sending messages that are of interest to Users.

Tracking. Some browsers may be configured to send Do Not Track signals to websites, or Users may use similar mechanisms, to indicate a User’s preference that certain web technologies not be used to track the User’s online activity. The Site does not accept or process such Do Not Track signals or similar mechanisms. Additionally, CanSurround does not “track” Users online activity across different websites when accessing the Website.

3. The Use and Disclosure of Health Information for Treatment. We will not disclose your Personal or Health Information to any third party for purposes related to your medical treatment. The Site may provide you with information regarding health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.

To the government for public health activities, health oversight activities and law enforcement. We may be asked or required by law to divulge Health Information to a public health authority such as to track product usage or for health oversight activities such as government inspections.

We may release this information to law enforcement under limited circumstances, for example, when the request is accompanied by a subpoena.

For judicial and administrative proceedings. We may disclose Health Information as required by a court or administrative order, or in some instances pursuant to a subpoena, discovery request or other legal process.

Included in business transfers. CanSurround may buy, sell, or share assets in connection with, for example, a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy. In such transactions, information about Users generally is often a transferred business asset. In the event that CanSurround itself or substantially all of CanSurround’s assets are acquired, information about our Users may be one of the transferred assets.
