LAST UPDATED: June 10, 2021

Engage4Hlth LLC., including its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, " Engage4Hlth," "we," "us," or "our") values your privacy. In this Privacy Policy ("Policy"), we describe how we collect, use, and disclose information that we obtain about visitors to our website https://www. Engage4Hlth.com (the "Site") and corporate offices as well as through our products and services (collectively, the "Services"). We also provide legal Terms of Use for our Site, which are located below in (Section 11).

 

  1. Scope and Consent

By visiting the Site, you acknowledge that your personal information will be handled as described in this Policy. As used herein, "personal Information" means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer.

 

  1. Information Practices: How We Collect, Use, Retain, and Disclose Personal Information

The information we collect through the Site, including all of its web pages, is controlled by Engage4Hlth, including its subsidiaries and wholly owned affiliates, which is headquartered in the United States at 47 Pine Plain Road, Wellesley, MA 02481.

 

The Information We Collect About You

 

We collect information about you directly from you and from third parties, as well as automatically through your use of our Services.

 

Information We Collect Directly From You through the Site. The information we collect from you depends on how you use our Site. To request more information from us, you must provide us with identifiers or employment-related information such as your name, your job title and the name of the customer company you work for, your contact information, such as your business email and phone number, and your reason for contacting us.

 

Information We Collect Through Our Corporate Customer Relationships. In order to manage our customer relationships with our corporate customers, we collect identifiers and employment-related information about and from our corporate customers' employees and workforce. This information may include names, titles, business email addresses and phone numbers, work location, and information about an employee or workforce member's role at the corporate customer (such as the department they work in, products or issues worked on, and other similar information). We use this information to administer our corporate customer contracts and to market our Services to corporate customers. When you/your employer are subscribed to one of our Services, listservs or community portals, we may collect information such as your name, email address, profession, and customer affiliation.

 

Information Collected and Used in Engage4Hlth Services. Engage4Hlth collects medical information, called "protected health information" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), in Engage4Hlth's role as a business associate to health care providers. The protected health information is used to support Engage4Hlth customers' health care operations and is received by Engage4Hlth in its capacity as a business associate to its members. The privacy of such data is governed by HIPAA rather than any state privacy law. Similarly, Engage4Hlth may collect other information that may be exempt from state privacy laws, such as information to help its corporate customers obtain insurance or reinsurance insurance benefits, and information known as Patient Safety Work Product, or PSWP which is governed by the Federal Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2008.

 

Engage4Hlth also collects identifiers and employment related information, about consumers that are health care practitioners ("practitioners") directly from its corporate health care customers as noted above or from third party providers of data, such as health care claims data aggregators, its vendors, and governmental sources, in order to provide Services to its customers in the health care industry. For practitioners, this information can include DEA numbers and National Practitioner Identifiers, in addition to the information noted above. In some cases, this information may be provided to Engage4Hlth's customers. Engage4Hlth's customers can include health care providers and health systems, data aggregators working in the health care industry, pharmaceutical manufacturers and general medical supply vendors. If the practitioner data in question is not otherwise subject to an exemption from state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Practice Act ("CCPA") (e.g. as Protected Health Information under HIPAA), the transfer from Engage4Hlth to some customers can be considered a sale of personal information under the CCPA. You may review the chart showing Engage4Hlth's practices in the past 12 months with respect to such personal information in Section 8 below.

 

Information We Collect Automatically. We automatically collect the following identifiers and internet or other electronic network activity information about your use of our Site through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies: your domain name; country of origin, your browser type and operating system; Engage4Hlth web pages you view; links you click on the Engage4Hlth website; your IP address; the length of time you visit our Site; and the referring URL or webpage that led you to our Site.

  1. California Consumer Privacy Act

As part of its Services, Personal information including professional and employment related information of practitioners is provided to customers in the health care industry, including health care providers and systems, data aggregators in the health care industry, pharmaceutical manufacturers and other suppliers to the health care industry. These third party transfers may be considered sales of data under the CCPA.

Engage4Hlth receives personal information in its capacity under California law as a service provider/business associate to Covered Entities located in California. Engage4Hlth may share this information as required to fulfill its contracts with its member health care institutions. If an exemption under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") does not apply to this information, you are free to contact the health care institution directly about the types of data collected by the institution and provided to Engage4Hlth.

Engage4Hlth acts as a Business Associate as defined by HIPAA, and as part of its Services, personal information which is de-identified in accordance with HIPAA Section 164.514(b) is provided to customers in the health care industry, such as health care providers and systems, data aggregators in the health care industry, pharmaceutical manufacturers and other suppliers to the health care industry. These transfers are considered sales of de-identified personal information under the CCPA.

Sale of Personal Information. Except as specified above, we do not sell your information for money, but we and our business partners use tracking technologies to help us understand our customers and visitors to the Services, enhance your online experience, and customize our offerings in ways that may be deemed a "sale" of personal information under the CCPA. This includes working with third parties, such as ad networks, which collect personal information via tracking technologies to serve personalized advertisements on and off our Services, provide us with data collection, reporting, and ad response measurement. To the extent we or our partners use such technologies on the Services, we offer an opt-out as discussed below.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.

This Provision allows us to promptly and efficiently resolve any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between You and Us. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to You (such as Our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever You also assert claims against Us in the same proceeding.

This Provision provides that all disputes between You and Us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of these Terms constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. We prefer this because We believe arbitration is less drama-filled than litigation. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means You would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). EVERYONE AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by [emailing] to Us at ____________________ the following information: (1)Your name, (2) Your address, (3) A written description of Your Claim, and (4) A description of the specific relief You seek. If We do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving Your notification, than You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, You or We may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of this Provision by emailing Us at ___ the following information: (1) Your name; (2) Your address; (3) A clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with Us through arbitration. We promise that Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will not negatively affect Your relationship with Us. But, We do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline, so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures

If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either You or We may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because this Website and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – You or We may initiate arbitration in either New York or the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address. In the event that You select the latter, We may transfer the arbitration to New York so long as We agree to pay any additional fees or costs which the arbitrator determines You incur as a result of the transfer.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as You place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, We will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, You will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if You provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration, You will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both You and We specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You. Neither You, nor any other user of this Website can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Jury Waiver

You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms, You and We are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, You and We might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court (e.g.,, the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will not apply, but all enforceable provisions will remain valid. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of Your account with Us or Our affiliates and Your discontinued use of this Website. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, We agree that if We make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), You may reject any such change and require Us to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between Us arises.

GENERAL

We think direct communication resolves most issues – if We feel that You are not complying with these Terms, We will tell You. We will even provide You with recommended necessary corrective action(s) because We value this relationship.

However, certain violations of these Terms, as determined by Us, may require immediate termination of Your access to this Website without prior notice to You. The Federal Arbitration Act, Massachusetts state law and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms. Foreign laws do not apply. Except for disputes subject to arbitration as described above, any disputes relating to these Terms or this Website will be heard in the courts located in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. If any of these Terms are deemed inconsistent with applicable law, then such term(s) shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. By choosing not to enforced any of these Terms, We are not waiving Our rights. These Terms are the entire agreement between You and Us and, therefore, supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between Everyone about this Website. The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by You, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.
