Privacy Policy
INTRODUCTION
Sacramento Urgent Care, on its own behalf owns and operates the website located sacurgentcare.com, and various mobile applications (collectively, the “Website” or “Websites”). Through these Websites we offer various online services that enable visitors to the Websites (“you” or “Visitors”) to receive access to various types of healthcare information and information about our services (“Services”).
Sacramento Urgent Care understands that privacy of information is of great importance to our Visitors.
APPLICABILITY OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This Web and Mobile Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes what information Sacramento Urgent Care collects about Visitors on the publicly available portions of the Websites and how that information is used.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected from Visitors who register and log-in (“Members”) to the password protected and secure portions of our websites and mobile applications (“Secure Platforms”). These Secure Platforms allow Members to perform certain transactions (e.g. initiate a case) and use our Services. All information stored and collected by Sacramento Urgent Care or added by our Members into such Secure Platforms is identifiable, protected health information (PHI) and therefore governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). How Sacramento Urgent Care uses and discloses such PHI shall be in accordance with our Notice of Privacy Practices. For example, if you have consented to importing data from HealthKit into the Secure Platform, you should review our Notice of Privacy Practices to understand how we use and disclose such PHI. Specifically, Sacramento Urgent Care will not use or disclose information received from HealthKit for advertising, marketing, or other used based data mining purposes and will not combine it with other data and sell it.
