The EMRy Stick Privacy Policy describes how EMRy Stick treats personal information when you use EMRy Stick's products,
including information provided when you use the EMRy Stick Personal Health Record (PHR). In addition, the following describes our privacy practices
that are specific to the EMRy Stick Personal Health Record, a service that helps you store and organize your personal health information.
You are in control of your information
- You control who can access your personal health information. By default, you are the only user who can view and edit your information.
If you choose to, you can share your information with others.
- EMRy Stick will not sell, rent, or share your information (identified or de-identified) without your explicit consent, except in the
limited situations described in the EMRy Stick Privacy Policy, such as when EMRy Stick believes it is required to do so by law.
- You can completely delete your information at any time. Such deletions will take immediate effect in your account, and backup
copies of deleted information may persist for a short time. Since deleted data will not be restored, you may want to print information before deleting it.
How EMRy Stick uses your information
- To store your information in the EMRy Stick Personal Health Record, you will need an EMRy Stick PHR Account. When you create a EMRy Stick Account,
EMRy Stick asks for your
email address and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorized access.
- EMRy Stick's servers automatically record log information about your use of EMRy Stick Health (such as number of sign-ins and number of times a
link was clicked). This information is temporarily stored in association with your EMRy Stick Account for two weeks, at which point it is aggregated
with other data and is no longer associated with your account. The log information will be used to operate and improve the service and will not be
correlated with your use of other EMRy Stick services.
- EMRy Stick will use aggregate data to publish trend statistics and associations. None of this data can be used to personally identify an individual.
- Certain features of the EMRy Stick Personal Health Record can be used in conjunction with other EMRy Stick products, and those features may share information to
provide a better user experience and to improve the quality of our services. For example, the EMRy Stick Personal Health Record can help you save your doctors' contact
information into your EMRy Stick Contact List.
Sharing your information with people and services you trust
- If you share your information with others, you can view a list of who has access to your information and you can revoke sharing privileges
at any time. When you revoke someone's ability to read your health information, that party will no longer be able to read your information,
but may have already seen or may retain a copy of the information.
- The EMRy Stick Personal Health Record contains a directory of third-party websites that are capable of securely sending information to the EMRy Stick Personal Health Record.
These websites (which may include your medical provider) may give more information about certain conditions or extend the functionality of
the EMRy Stick Personal Health Record in other ways. By creating a link to these websites, you give them permission to send you information such as medical
records, prescription histories, or test reports.
- You can approve access for some of these websites to view your health information. If a website accesses your health information and
stores a copy of your information, that copy will be governed by that website's privacy policy. Others at that facility - like an on-call
doctor - may be able to view your information. EMRy Stick is not responsible for the content, performance, or privacy policies of
third-party websites.
- Some of these third-party websites will be covered by federal and state health privacy laws (such as the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act, or "HIPAA"), and those laws will govern how they may use and share your information. As a result, you must
authorize these providers to send information to your EMRy Stick Personal Health Record account. With that authorization, you also give them permission
to send certain types of health information (such as mental health records) that are protected by federal and state laws and require
special authorization. When you ask EMRy Stick to send your health information to others, you will also be giving EMRy Stick permission
to send those certain types of health information.
- All third-party websites listed in the directory are contractually required to abide by the EMRy Stick Personal Health Record Policies,
which establish strict privacy standards for how they collect, use, or share your information.
