We want to assure Users of our website, patient portal, and other online or digital resources (collectively Consumer Platforms) that the information collected and/or provided to us is secure and maintained in confidence, consistent with applicable state and federal laws, regulations and corporate standards. “Users” means any individual visiting, using, and/or providing Personal Information via one of our Consumer Platforms. References to “you” or “your” in this online privacy policy mean individual Users. “Personal Information” means any individually identifiable information about a User, including, but not limited to name, date of birth, address, phone number, e-mail address, account number, and IP (internet protocol) address. Please read through the following pages, which describe the type of information we may collect, how we may use information, and our commitment to maintaining the privacy and security of information. Please be advised that PMA may not control all Consumer Platforms used by our customers. This means that PMA may not manage all data collection, use, or disclosure activities which could occur on platforms owned or administered by a Service Provider. Service Provider means any vendor that has been contracted by PMA to provide a service or perform a function on behalf, or for the benefit, of PMA, including but not limited to technical support, site administration, or data analytics. INFORMATION COLLECTED GENERAL How you use a particular PMA Consumer Platform will determine whether or not we collect Personal Information from you, and how much we collect. In many situations, we may not require any Personal Information, nor will we ask questions about you, but for other situations, we need to verify your identity through a login process or collect sufficient Personal Information to provide a service associated with your use of a Consumer Platform. SECURE MESSAGING AND FEEDBACK/INQUIRY FORMS PMA may permit Users to contact us using secure messaging or feedback/inquiry forms available on our corporate-owned platforms regarding account questions or concerns, or PMA’s products or services. We may disclose Personal Information to contracted Service Providers to allow them to perform a service or function for which they have been engaged. The information provided through secure messages and feedback/inquiry forms may be used by PMA or its contracted Service Providers to review and respond to Users’ communications. PMA offers an online communication tool (the patient portal) for patients to contact their physician regarding certain inquiries, such as health-related questions, referrals, prescription renewals, or medical issues. Messages sent by or to patients who choose to use the patient portal may be recorded in transaction logs, which may be reviewed to monitor compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as the overall effectiveness of the service. Users are encouraged to review the separate privacy policy and terms of use for the patient portal by clicking https://www.followmyhealth.com/UseDocuments/PrivacyPolicy.

Our Consumer Platforms are not directed at children under the age of 13, nor do we make attempts to collect, use, or disclose information from children under the age of 13.

USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED PMA does not sell Personal Information of Users collected through our Consumer Platforms to anyone.

We may disclose Personal Information to our contracted Service Providers to allow them to perform the function for which they have been engaged, such as website hosting, payment processing, account administration, or other services. ACCESS TO INFORMATION COLLECTED Certain PMA workforce members may be provided with Personal Information of Users in order to respond to their needs, assist with customer service and related account issues, and provide requested information regarding specific products or services. PMA workforce members are required by written confidentiality agreements, corporate policies and state or federal laws or regulations, to maintain the confidentiality of Personal Information, and to use strict standards of care in handling information. Workforce members who do not conform to these confidentiality requirements are subject to disciplinary action. THIRD PARTIES Other than as set forth herein, PMA does not transmit any Personal Information collected through its Consumer Platforms to any third party without the permission of the User.

FRAUDULENT SITES, SPAM & PHISHING Please be aware that there may be online resources that fraudulently use PMA logos, name, or other aspects of our brand. These resources may attempt to collect Personal Information over the internet, via spam email, or through phishing. These online resources have not been authorized by PMA to interact with our customers, and PMA is in no way affiliated with these fraudulent resources. If you suspect that a certain online resource may not be legitimate, you should avoid providing any Personal Information.
