HealthArc has two online platforms where this Privacy Policy applies:
(1) its corporate website, and
(2) its software system used by clinicians to remotely monitor their patients.
On the website, HealthArc uses the information you provide through contact forms to respond to sales, marketing, and support inquiries.
For its remote patient monitoring system, HealthArc does not sell Personal Data or Health Data to anyone. HealthArc provides clinicians with secure tools for data collection and patient engagement, but it does not sell the data itself.
HealthArc may monitor system usage to improve the software experience. It may also use anonymized data to create aggregated community statistics and trends, and to add new features that improve the functionality and usability of the software.
This Privacy Policy explains how HealthArc uses, protects, and safeguards your data.
By using the Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data (such as name and email address) and your patients’ Personal Data (such as name, email address, and Health Data) in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Data Controller (or HCP, including healthcare professionals and supporting staff)
Means the individual or organization that decides why and how Personal Data is processed.
Data Processor (or HealthArc, including subcontractors)
Means the individual or organization that processes Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller.
Data Subject (or User)
Means the individual whose Personal Data is collected through the Services.
Health Data

Personal Data

We collect, use, disclose, and process Personal Data to provide the Services, improve your experience, and support technical assistance.
HealthArc may use your Personal Data to contact you and respond to your questions, keep records of our communications with you, and perform safety backups of your data.
Personal Data may also be used to help you or your healthcare professional track Health Data, generate anonymized and aggregated statistics, and improve the Software.
In addition, HealthArc may use this information to develop new services and software features that better meet your needs.
We collect Personal Data in different ways when you use and interact with our Services.
HealthArc collects and uses your Personal Data only as needed to provide the Services. We do not use your Personal Data for any purpose other than the reason it was originally collected.
We keep your Personal Data secure, encrypted, and confidential. We do not disclose it except in the situations described below.
HealthArc stores your Personal Data in secure cloud infrastructure and compliant data centers, following applicable data protection and security standards.
Except for anonymized or non-identifiable data, which may be stored indefinitely, HealthArc retains your Personal Data for up to 12 months after you delete your account, request account deletion, or when your healthcare professional deletes your account.
After this retention period, HealthArc may delete your Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws.
Your Personal Data may be stored or processed in locations outside your state or country, as permitted by applicable regional laws. These laws may include, but are not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of the United States, and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada.
You have the right to access and receive a copy of your Personal Data.

HealthArc Services are not intended for children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect Personal Data directly from children under this age through the Services.
However, we may collect information about children or babies when it is provided by their parents or legal guardians as part of the Services. Users are asked not to share information about a child or baby unless they have first obtained consent from the child’s parent or legal guardian.
By providing Personal Data about a child or baby, you confirm that you are legally authorized to share that information.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to speak with their children about safe internet use and the information they share through the Services.
HealthArc is not responsible for the features, content, accuracy, or behavior of Third-Party Programs that are linked to, framed within, or shown as search results in the Services.
Your use of Third-Party Programs is at your own risk and is subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies.
HealthArc does not endorse any product, service, or treatment that may be advertised or promoted through the Services.
HealthArc is not liable for any loss or damage of any kind that may result from your use of Third-Party Programs.
HealthArc uses commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect the Personal Data we collect.
However, no method of storing or transmitting data over the internet is completely secure. As a result, HealthArc cannot guarantee absolute security or eliminate all security or privacy risks related to Personal Data.
HealthArc acts as a Data Processor and is not responsible for any data breach, unauthorized disclosure, or unlawful use of Personal Data or Health Data that, at the time of the incident, was under the control of your healthcare professional.
HealthArc uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data.
If a data breach or security incident involving Personal Data occurs, HealthArc will notify affected users as required by applicable laws and regulations. Notification may be provided by email or through in-application messages, as appropriate.
HealthArc may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we make changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and revise the effective date. Where required by law, we will also notify users through in-application notices where this Privacy Policy is referenced.
Your continued use of the Services after the updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means that you accept the changes.
