(Last updated Oct 01, 2018)
This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed by Listen to the Doctor LLC ("ListenMD", "we", "us" or "our"). This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our website at www.listenMD.com and other website(s) that link to this privacy policy ("Sites"), mobile applications ("Apps"), and other services offered by us (collectively, the "Services") and when you otherwise communicate with us using the Services.
If you have questions about the treatment of your Protected Health Information, you should review the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices of your health care provider ("Provider") or contact your Provider.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

We collect information you provide directly to us.

- Protected Health Information A subset of Personal Information that is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations ("HIPAA"). Your Personal Information is Protected Health Information if you are a health plan member or a patient of a Provider that is a "covered entity" under HIPAA and we are a "business associate" of the Provider.

- Other Information You Choose to Provide We collect information you provide when you participate in a survey, contest, promotion or interactive area of the Services or when you request technical or customer support.
If you are a healthcare provider, during registration you may be asked to provide information regarding your professional qualifications as well as other information.

We may also collect information about you when you post content to our pages or feeds on third party social media sites, or if you use credentials (e.g., username and password) from a third party site to create or log into your ListenMD account.
USE OF INFORMATION
We may use information about you for various purposes, including to:
- Provide, maintain and improve our Services;

ListenMD is based in the United States and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. By accessing or using the Services or otherwise providing information to us, you consent to the processing and transfer of information in and to the U.S. and other countries, where you may not have the same rights as you do under local law.

SHARING OF INFORMATION
We may share information about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:
- With vendors, consultants and other service providers, including, but not limited to, hosting providers and payment processors, who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf;
- In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation or legal process;
- With other users of the Services:
- When you participate in the interactive areas of the Services, certain information that you provide may be displayed to such other users on the Services, such as your name and other content and information you choose to provide.
- Providers set the exposure settings for their respective practices because this can affect
the visibility
of their relationship with a patient. Providers can choose to be an open, hidden or private
practice, each of
which is described below:
- Open practices expose their relationship to the patient and show up as a caregiver for that patient in the list of other caregivers and in the caregiver list of the patient;
- Hidden practices are exposed only to the patient and to providers who add or are added by the hidden caregiver;
- Private practices only appear on the patient's caregiver list. Private practices do not appear on any other caregivers' list.
- Patients can further enhance the privacy of selected caregivers by changing that caregiver's privacy setting from "Open" to "Hidden" or "Private".
- If we believe your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or policies, or to protect the rights, property and safety of ListenMD or others;
- In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company;
- Between and among ListenMD and its current and future parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and other companies under common control and ownership; and
- With your consent or at your direction.
We may also sell or share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
