Information We Collect and How We Collect It
You Provide Your Information to Us
When you register with or otherwise use our Services, you may give us Your Information directly. For instance, when you register with our Services, you may provide us with your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, insurance data (such as your insurance carrier and insurance plan), medical data (such as your doctors’ names and contact information and medical history) and other information that may help us improve our Services. We may also let you create a profile that American IV Association users and other third parties can see. We collect Your Information and content (such as photos, reviews, ratings and other information) that you choose to submit in connection with our Services, including in the process of creating or editing your account and user profile. Further, we may charge fees for all or part of our Services. To the extent that we charge any such fees, then you may provide us with certain financial information (such as credit card or bank account numbers) in connection with a Transaction.
If you choose not to provide us with any of Your Information, you may still be able to access and use some of our Services, but certain features of our Services that require Your Information may not be accessible to you.
Information that You Generate Using Our Communications Features
Our Services may allow you to communicate or share information with American IV Association as well as other American IV Association users (including both patients and healthcare providers). For instance, you may participate in message boards and forums, post reviews, ratings and public comments, send private messages, chat via text or video with other users and post other content. You expressly acknowledge and agree that we may access in real-time, record and store archives of these communications, comments and other content on American IV Association’s servers to make use of them in connection with our Services.
Third Parties Provide Your Information to Us
We may collect Your Information from sources other than you, such as from social networks (for example, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, Snapchat, Instagram, among others), other users and our business partners. If you use or access our Services on or through a social network, then we will receive certain information about you and your friends from the social network automatically. The information that we will receive depends on the social network and your privacy settings. For instance, we may collect some or all of the following of Your Information from the social network: your name, profile picture, social network identification number, login email, physical location, gender, birthday, age, other publicly available information and any other information that you or the social network shares with us. If you access our Services from a social network, please read that social network’s terms of use and privacy policy carefully.
We May Collect Your Information Using Technology
When you use our Services, we and service providers acting on our behalf may use technology to collect information about you, including your geographic location, IP address, browser type, ISP, referral and exit pages, clickstream data and information related to your device, such as hardware models and IDs, device type, operating system version, the request type, the content of your request and basic usage information about your use of our Services, such as date and time. We may also collect and store information locally on your device using mechanisms, such as browser web storage and application data caches.
We and service providers acting on our behalf may collect such information through a variety of technical methods, including sending cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and other anonymous identifiers to your device. “Cookies” are pieces of data stored on our computer, mobile phone or other device. A “web beacon” is a type of technology that lets us know if you visited a certain page or whether you opened an email. A “pixel tag” is a type of technology placed within a website or email for the purpose of tracking activity, which is often used in combination with cookies. Other “anonymous identifiers” are random strings of characters used for the same purposes as cookies, such as with mobile devices where cookie technology is not available. These technologies help us know that you are logged in to your American IV Association account, provide you with features based on your preferences, understand when you are interacting with our Services, and compile other information regarding your use of our Services.
Please note that, in most cases, you can stop making your geolocation available to us or remove or block cookies (such as by using the settings in your browser), but doing so may affect your ability to use our Services.
Network Advertising
From time to time, we may participate in or use advertising networks, such as third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors and research firms. We may use these third-party advertising networks for marketing, advertising and promotional purposes, as well as to serve advertisements to you. Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and preferences, which enables such networks to deliver advertisements directly targeted to the consumer’s specific interests. This practice is often referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” For example, a third-party advertising network might collect the type of Internet browser you use, the type of computer operating system you use, the domain name of a website you visit, whether or not you visit specific pages of a website, the location of your Internet service provider’s presence, the date and time of a visit to a website and other interactions between you and a website. Please see the Online Behavioral Advertising subsection of the Choices About How We Use and Collect Your Information section below to read about how you can prevent certain third-party advertising networks from collecting information about you.
Third-Party Content
Some content or applications, including advertisements, on our Services may be served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. These third parties may collect information about you when you use our Services. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
How We Use Your Information
We may use Your Information for various lawful business purposes. Among others, these purposes may include using Your Information to:

Also, when we disclose Your Information to third parties, Your Information will become permanently subject to the information use and sharing practices of the third party, and the third party will not be restricted by this Privacy Policy with respect to its use and further sharing of Your Information.

If you do not want Your Information shared as described above, then you should not provide us with Your Information.

The combination of Your Information with health-related information that you provide in connection with scheduling an appointment on our Services, or that is created from your use of the appointment feature on our Services, is called “Protected Health Information” and is subject to special rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and as otherwise amended from time to time, “HIPAA”). Any combination of Your Information with health-related information that you provide other than in connection with scheduling an appointment on our Services, or that is created other than from your use of the appointment feature on our Services, is not Protected Health Information and is not treated as such by American IV Association or under HIPAA.

In addition, American IV Association may use and disclose any and all Protected Health Information in accordance with applicable law, including (i) for its internal management and administration; (ii) to carry out its legal responsibilities; and (iii) to perform certain data aggregation services; provided, however, that any disclosures for our internal management and administration or to carry out our legal responsibilities are either required by law or made after American IV Association obtains reasonable assurances from the person to whom the Protected Health Information is disclosed that it will be held confidentially and used or further disclosed only as required by applicable law or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to that person. The descriptions in this Privacy Policy of the HIPAA responsibilities and obligations of American IV Association are for informational purposes only and do not provide any right to you under this Privacy Policy, HIPAA or any other law.
Aggregation and De-Personalization
We may take Your Information and de-identify it either by combining it with information about other individuals (aggregating Your Information with information about other individuals), or by removing characteristics (such as your name) that make Your Information personally identifiable to you (de-identifying Your Information). We reserve the right to share, loan, rent, sell or otherwise disclose such information to third parties at any time, for any lawful purpose, without notice or compensation to you.
Promotions
If you are submitting information to us pursuant to a Promotion, we may share, loan, rent, sell or otherwise disclose the information that you submit with third parties at any time, for any lawful purpose without notice or compensation to you. Please refer to the official rules and privacy policy for each individual Promotion (if any), as well as our Terms of Use, for our specific policies regarding information sharing and disclosure pursuant to that Promotion.
Circumvention of Security Measures
Please be aware that methods of transmission and electronic storage are not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the privacy or security of Your Information or any voice or data transmissions, as third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or electronic storage. Further, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures of our Services. Therefore, you use our Services at your own risk, you should not expect, that Your Information or voice or data transmissions will always remain private, and we do not guarantee the performance or adequacy of our privacy settings or security measures. In the event that an unauthorized third party compromises our security measures, we will not be responsible for any damages, directly or indirectly, caused by an unauthorized third party’s ability to view, use or disseminate Your Information.
User Contributions
You may provide information (including reviews, ratings, messages and other content) to be published, posted, submitted, transmitted, or displayed (collectively, “posted”) on or through our Services to American IV Association users or other third parties (collectively, including any video or voice communications, “User Contributions”). Your User Contributions are posted on our Services at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users of our Services with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed, read, collected or used by unauthorized persons.
Business Transfers
We specifically and expressly reserve the right to disclose, lease, sell, assign or transfer Your Information to a buyer or other successor in the event of a sale, acquisition, merger, consolidation, reorganization, bankruptcy, dissolution or other corporate change involving our business, even if such event is only being contemplated and regardless of whether such event relates to a part or the whole of our business. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to interfere with our ability to transfer all or part of our business, equity, or assets to an affiliate or independent third party at any time, for any lawful purpose, without notice or compensation to you.
