Privacy Policy

24hrdoc, LLC (“24HrDOC”,“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Notice (“Notice”). This Notice applies to you (“you” or “your”) and anyone who accesses or uses our Services (defined below), whether as a guest or registered user (“User”). A core element of our mission is our commitment to protect the information that identifies you as a specific individual and can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”) and to be transparent about the data we collect about you, how it is used, and with whom it is shared.

This Notice describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing personal information of Users, including providers who offer services through www.24hrdoc.com, and www.24hrdoc.ai (our “Website(s)”), software, platforms, and mobile application (collectively, the “Services”).

Please read this Notice carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our terms, your choice is not to use our Services. By accessing or using this Website, you agree to this Privacy Notice. This Notice may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Notice). Your continued access of our Website or use of our Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Last Modified Date at the top of this Notice, to ensure that you are viewing the most current version of this Notice.

Certain demographic, health and/or health-related information that 24HrDOC collects about Users on behalf of the licensed medical professions that we partner with (“Healthcare Provider(s)”) as part of providing the Services may be protected health information (“Protected Health Information” or “PHI”) governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Specifically, this may be true when (i) 24HrDOC is providing administrative, operational, or other services to a Healthcare Provider that is a “Covered Entity” (as defined by HIPAA); and (ii) in order to provide those services, 24HrDOC receives identifiable information about a User on behalf of the Healthcare Provider, where 24HrDOC is acting as a “Business Associate” (as defined by HIPAA); and (iii) this identifiable information is regulated as PHI.

This Privacy Notice does not apply to PHI, which is instead regulated by HIPAA

HIPAA provides specific protections for the privacy and security of PHI and restricts how PHI is used and disclosed. Please read the Notice of Privacy Practices of your Healthcare Provider to understand how your PHI can be used and disclosed.

This Privacy Notice describes our practices for managing Personal Information that a User provides to 24HrDOC when 24HrDOC is not acting as a Business Associate and that is not PHI. To provide just a few examples, we collect such Personal Information when you (i) create an account, (ii) search for Healthcare Providers or available appointments with Healthcare Providers; (iii) post reviews; (iv) provide device/IP Information or Web Analytics information by browsing our websites (see below); (v) direct your Covered Entity healthcare provider to disclose PHI to 24HrDOC outside of its Business Associate capacity (e.g. pursuant to a HIPAA Authorization or access request); and (vi) as further described below.

We collect several types of information, including Personal Information from you and about users of our Services, such as basic contact information when you sign up for an account. Other types of information we collect is information related to how you use our platform, which helps us improve our Services. We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any Personal Information to generally provide you with our Services.

When you provide us with information in connection with a particular activity or otherwise sign up for or order our products and Services or provide your contact information to us, including your email address or telephone number in connection with that activity, product or service, you agree that such action constitutes a purchase or inquiry establishing a business relationship with us. You expressly consent to receiving communications from 24HrDOC through the information you provided to us. Please review our Terms of Service for more information about our user guidelines. For more information on how to access and control your communication preferences, please see YOUR RIGHTS and the YOUR CHOICES REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION, sections below.

We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on the Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) to automatically collect information through our Services. Tracking Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices that allow us to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our Site and Services. Depending on the specific Tracking Technology, we, our online data partners, or vendors may use Tracking Technologies to associate these activities with other Personal Information they or others have about you, including by association with your email or online profiles. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these emails or profiles.

• Pixel Tags/Web Beacons

A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded on the Website that collects information about users’ engagement on that web page. The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement.

• Cookies Beacons

A cookie is a small text file that can be stored on and accessed from your device when you visit and use our Website. We use cookies to analyze trends, administer the Website, and track users’ movements around the site.

Please review your web browser settings to modify your cookie settings, to disable the use of cookies, or to delete cookies. Please note that third parties such as advertisers or analytics providers may also use cookies and similar technologies while you are browsing or using the Website. We unfortunately have no control over such third parties’ use of these technologies.

Cookies can be categorized as first-party or third-party cookies. As the name implies, first-party cookies are put on your device by 24HrDOC. Third-party cookies are placed on your device not by 24HrDOC, but by a third-party. Third-party cookies may include the Tracking Technologies described below.

• Analytics Beacons

We may use Tracking Technologies and other third-party tools to process analytics information about our Services. These Tracking Technologies are used by us and our third-party service providers to analyze how the Website is used and how the Website is performing. Tracking Technologies may collect information about your activities to provide you targeted advertising and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. The third-party service providers that generate these Tracking Technologies, including, for example, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google, have their own privacy policies, and may use their technologies to target advertising to you on other websites, based on your visit to our Website.

Tracking Technologies we use include:

• Google Analytics. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this Website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this Website. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this Website, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this Website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Website is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this Website by disabling cookies on your browser.
• Meta Pixel. We use Meta Pixel to customize our advertising and to serve you ads on your social media based on your browsing behavior. This allows your behavior to be tracked after you have been redirected to our Website by clicking on the Meta ad. The Meta Pixel stores a cookie on your device to enable us to measure the effectiveness of Meta ads for statistical and market research purposes. We do not have access to the information collected through the Meta Pixel. However, the information collected via the Meta Pixel is also stored and processed by Meta. Meta may link this information to your Meta account and also use it for its own promotional purposes in accordance with Meta’s Privacy Policy. The Meta Pixel also allows Meta and its partners to show you advertisements on and outside of Meta. You can opt-out of displaying Meta ads by visiting your Meta Ad Settings, and you can clear and control the information third parties share with Meta in your Off-Meta Activity page. If you do not have a Meta account, you can opt-out of Meta ads through the Digital Advertising Alliance as describe below.

You can generally opt-out of receiving personalized ads from third-party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising (DAA) by visiting the opt-out pages on the NAI website (http://optout.networkadvertising.org) and DAA website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices/).

• Do Not Track Signals.

To the extent that we receive any Do-Not-Track signals, we will not comply with them as we do not track users’ online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.

Residents of certain jurisdictions may access, correct, update or delete your personal information; object to our processing of this information, ask us to restrict our processing of your personal information, or request portability of your personal information. Please see the YOUR CHOICES REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION to learn more about exercising your rights.

Upon request 24HrDOC will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the information you submit to us, such as your contact information.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your requests for deletion; however, certain residual information may actively persist on the Services even if you close your account. In addition, the rights described above may be limited, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, or if you ask us to delete information, we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping (such as for fraud prevention purposes). Your Personal Information may remain in our archives and information you update or delete, or information within a closed account, may persist internally for our administrative purposes, to the extent permitted by law.

Please note that our Services require a minimum amount of Personal Information in order to function. Individuals who do not provide Personal Information (e.g., by not filling out a profile) may not be able to access the full functionality of features found on the Services.
