Privacy Statement

I. What information do we collect?

Personal Information you disclose to us

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Website, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, when you participate in activities on the Website or otherwise when you contact us.

The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Website, the choices you make and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect may include the following:

Personal Information provided by you

The first time a user signs in to the Services, the Services require the user to create a Cortexia Health account. To create a Cortexia Health account, a user must eventually provide personal information such as name, date of birth, e-mail address, address, postal code, phone number, gender, and country/region. Depending on which features a user uses, she/he may be asked for additional information for that feature such as contact preferences, contact or authentication data, billing addresses, debit/credit card numbers, and other similar information.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Protected Health Information

A Cortexia Health account allows users to review health information about themselves and their patients, and to participate in second opinions and similar services. Examples of the types of information collected and stored include but not limited to:

Information automatically collected

Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information from your browser or device, this information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about who and when you use our Website and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Website, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

We also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people. A user has the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but users can usually modify their browser setting to decline some or all cookies if they prefer. If a user chooses to decline all cookies, they may not be able to use interactive features of this or other Websites that depend on cookies.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save users’ time. For example, if a user personalizes a Web page, or navigates within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall that user’s specific information on subsequent visits. Using cookies simplifies the process of delivering relevant content, eases site navigation, and so on. When a user returns to the Website, they can retrieve the information they previously provided, so they can easily use the site’s features that they customized.

Cortexia Health uses cookies with the Services to enable users to sign in and to help personalize the Services. We may use this data to customize content for your liking, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Services — for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to our users.

The information we collect includes:

Information collected from other sources

In order to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing, offers, and services to you and update our records, we may collect limited data from public databases, marketing partners, social media platforms, and other outside sources. This information includes mailing addresses, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, intent data (or user behavior data), Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, social media profiles, social media URLs, and custom profiles, for purposes of targeted advertising and event promotion. If you interact with us on a social media platform using your social media account (e.g. Facebook or Twitter), we receive personal information about you such as your name, email address, and gender. Any personal information that we collect from your social media account depends on your social media account’s privacy settings.

II. How do we use your information?

We use personal information collected through the Services, including health information, in the Services, and for a variety of business purposes as described in this Privacy Statement. We do not use or disclose users’ information except as described in this privacy statement. Our purposes for using personal information include:

Cortexia Health will not share any personal information in such a way that it can be used to personally identify a user. Decisions based on data are made by natural persons and are never automated.

Personal information stored in the Service may be processed in the United States or any other country in which Cortexia Health or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers maintain facilities.

We may process information relating to transactions, including purchase services, that you enter into our website. The transaction data may include your contact details, your card details, and the transaction details. The transaction data may be processed for the purpose of keeping proper records of those transactions.

III. Will your information be shared with anyone?

We are committed to maintaining your trust, and we want you to understand when and with whom we may share the information we collect. We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share your data that we hold based on the following legal basis:

More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

This website may include links to social media on other third-party sites. If you choose to engage in public activities on third-party sites, you should be aware that any information you share there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these sites and forums. You should use caution in disclosing personal information while participating in these areas. We are not responsible for the information you choose to submit in public areas.

IV. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

At Cortexia Health, security is our highest priority. We design our systems with your security and privacy in mind. We maintain a variety of compliance programs that validate our security controls periodically. We protect the security of your information during transmission to or from our website, applications, products, or services by using encryption protocols. We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards in connection with the collection, storage, and disclosure of personal information whether the data is collected from you or other sources.

Our Company securely stores all your data electronically with measures to protect your Protected Health Information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction in accordance with HIPAA and GDPR. And we have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment.

We strongly recommend using our platform to upload your medical records to ensure the highest security and privacy of your data. By failing to do so, you are accepting the security and privacy risks associated with your own choice of data transfer method and Cortexia Health will not be responsible for any loss associated with it.

V. Your Access and Choices

You can view, update, and delete certain information about your account and your interactions with Cortexia Health Offerings. You can access all information regarding your account on the platform itself. To delete or update information yourself, you can always contact us for assistance in the contact methods given in Section XII.

You have choices about the collection and use of your personal information. You will be provided with the option to consent to Cortexia Health privacy practices before we start collecting your information. You can choose not to provide certain information or disagree with our privacy practices, but then you might not be able to take advantage of certain Cortexia Health Offerings to the fullest. Cortexia Health will not collect your personal information unless you consent to do so.

VI. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

Cortexia Health will retain your Personal Data for the entire time that you keep your account open. After you close your account, we may retain your Personal Data:

Users can close their Cortexia Health account at any time by signing into the Services and editing their account profile. Cortexia Health waits 180 days before permanently deleting Services account information in order to help avoid accidental or malicious removal of users’ information. A user should contact Customer Service if they want to reopen an account. Users should consider deletion carefully, because Cortexia Health will not be able to reopen it.

VII. What Are Your Rights?

You have the right to review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at security@cortexiahealth.com.
