Service.
Everest Technology Holdings, Inc. (Everest Technology Holdings) owns and operates the website www.definitivecaresolutions.com (the Site). The Site, together with all content, forums, information sharing functions and collaborative services (including information and services related to identifying, locating, evaluating, selecting and contacting healthcare Providers) that are provided at the Site, are collectively referred to as the Service.
The following policy explains how Everest Technology Holdings collects, uses and disseminates information obtained from or about you as a user of the Service. Capitalized terms used herein without definition will have the same meanings as defined in the Terms of Service applicable to the Service.
Information Collected.
When you visit the Site or otherwise access the Service, web servers collect general information about your visit (such as, for example, traffic data like time, date and the address of the website from which you entered the Site), which is stored and used by Everest Technology Holdings. Everest Technology Holdings also collects more specific information about you and your use of the Service (such as, for example, demographic data, profile data and frequency or duration of use). Collecting such data (collectively, Traffic Data) may entail the use of software programs, web beacons, pixel tags, cookies, IP addresses or other numeric codes used to identify a computer. Traffic Data (including your IP address) may be associated with the applicable User.
Providers may visit the Site, but are obligated to enter into Provider Contracts with Everest Technology Holdings to receive the full benefit of the Service. Everest Technology Holdings may obtain and store Personal Data pursuant to execution of the Provider Contracts.
Individuals may provide certain information about themselves to receive the full benefit of the Service: city or zip code; gender; age group; substance of choice; and type of insurance.
Whenever you interact with the Service, a variety of technologies are employed to automatically or passively collect Service Data. The term Service Data means all data and information that you provide during use of the Service (including messaging related to Providers, Healthcare Services and appointments), and all other data and information about you that are otherwise discerned or collected by Everest Technology Holdings based on your access and use of the Service. Service Data includes, but is not limited to: Personal Data; browser or device type; operating system; time of day; identification of Site page views; use of particular Service features (such as, for example, searching for or contacting Providers); and geographic location. For clarity, Service Data includes data that Everest Technology Holdings records regarding each visit to the Site, which permits it to replay, search and analyze each User's actual and complete experience using the Site. At no time will Everest Technology Holdings access, collect or store any of the personal contacts or photographs or any other information stored on your device without your permission.
Children.
Everest Technology Holdings will not collect personally identifiable information from any person who is actually known to us to be under the age of 13. If we become aware that a person under 13 has provided personally identifiable information, Everest Technology Holdings will take steps to remove such information and terminate that individual's access and use of the Service.
Use of Information.
Except as set forth below, at no time will any of your Personal Data be shared with any third party by Everest Technology Holdings.
Everest Technology Holdings uses Traffic Data to help diagnose problems with its web servers, to administer the Service and to analyze user trends and behaviors. Everest Technology Holdings will share Traffic Data with certain third parties for the purposes of technical and customer support.
Everest Technology Holdings collects, stores, processes and analyzes Service Data and produces Analytics. The term Analytics means user profiles and statistics, metrics, abstractions, rules, models and other analyses that are based on or derived from the Service, Service Data and/or your use of the Service. We may use third party tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to derive Analytics.
Everest Technology Holdings will use your Service Data and exploit Analytics in the manner and for the purposes described in these Terms of Service, including without limitation: to use Service Data to communicate with you (including, by email); to include, copy, disclose, distribute, transmit and display Service Data in communications that have been properly initiated via the Service, but only to the extent and in the manner that comply with your then current preferences; to access, record, collect, copy, store, process, analyze and use Service Data to provide the Service in accordance with your preferences (which could include using Personal Data in messaging with other Users); to develop, improve, extend and test the Service (and underlying technology platforms); to use Analytics to customize Content for you; and to design, develop, distribute and use Analytics (including in connection with marketing and promoting Everest Technology Holdings and the Service). Except in connection with providing the Service, Everest Technology Holdings will not use Service Data in a manner that discloses the identity of any Individual. Everest Technology Holdings reserves the right to retain and use Service Data after you cease using the Service.
As an example, if you are an Individual and use the Service to contact a Provider, then Everest Technology Holdings will share relevant Personal Data with that Provider, which may include your name, address, contact information, date of birth, health insurance information and (if provided by you) personal health information.
You may opt-out from receiving certain messages in the manner set forth below.
Call Logging
Some treatment providers have call logging setup for their profile. This means they have a unique number on their profile that, when called, forwards to their regular phone number. Everest Technology Holdings logs metadata about these forwarded calls that includes the following anonymous information: Call duration, time and date of call, call status (answered, no-answer), city of caller, and state of caller. This information helps Everest Technology Holdings and treatment providers improve their services, and it helps communities understand where help is needed most. Call contents are NEVER recorded, and Everest Technology Holdings does not store the phone number of the caller. All calls are anonymous.
IP Addresses, Cookies and Web Beacons.
IP Address.Everest Technology Holdings uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with its web servers and administer the Service. Your IP address is used to help identify you and to gather demographic information. For example, we may derive your general geographic location (city, state or metropolitan region) based on your IP address. IP addresses are also used to provide an audit trail regarding use of the Service.
Cookies.Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer, smartphone or other device by your web browser. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user's computer.
At this time, the only cookies we use are "session cookies" and we do not permit third parties to drop their cookies on your device. As the name suggests, session cookies help us provide the Service only during the current session. Session cookies are transient, existing only in temporary memory while currently using the Service. Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser.
On most web browsers, you will find a "help" section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to refuse some or all cookies, or to delete existing cookies from your device. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Service's features.
Web Beacons.A web beacon (which is also known as a "clear gif" or "pixel tag") is an electronic file that usually consists of a single-pixel image. It can be embedded in a web page or in an email to transmit information, which could include Personal Data. For example, it could allow an email sender to determine whether a user has opened a particular email.
At this time, Everest Technology Holdings does not use web beacons.
Behavioral (Targeted) Advertising.
Online behavioral (or targeted) advertising refers to a broad set of activities companies engage in to collect information about your online activity (like website pages you visit) and use it to show you ads or content they believe to be more relevant to you. To accomplish this, companies use a variety of tools to collect information, typically including cookies, web beacons and tracking pixels.
At this time, Everest Technology Holdings does not engage in behavioral or targeted advertising.
Data Integrity.
Everest Technology Holdings processes Personal Data only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any applicable Service-specific privacy notice. We periodically review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the Personal Data needed to provide or improve our Service. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on you to update or correct your Personal Data whenever necessary.
Do Not Track Policy.
Your browser may offer you a "Do Not Track" option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities, over time and across different websites. Do Not Track signals are set on a browser-by-browser basis, so you must set them on every browser you use if you do not wish to be tracked.
At this time, Everest Technology Holdings does not track your online activities outside of the Service. Therefore, setting or releasing your Do Not Track signal will not affect how the Service operates.
For clarity, this is just our Do Not Track Policy. Everest Technology Holdings cannot and does not make any promises about how third parties react when you set Do Not Track signals on your browser. In addition, the Do Not Track signal does not impact the use of information collected prior to such request.
Sharing of Personal Data.
Currently, Everest Technology Holdings or providers will not share Personal Data with any third party for purposes that are not related to the Service. Everest Technology Holdings will share your Personal Data with its third party service providers, solely for use in connection with providing the Service on Everest Technology Holdings's behalf. In addition, Everest Technology Holdings may also disclose Personal Data if a) reasonably necessary for Everest Technology Holdings (or its service providers) to operate and provide the Service, including processing your queries, responses and other messages and making disclosures to other Users in accordance with your preferences, (b) otherwise permitted under the Privacy Policy or elsewhere in the Terms of Service, (c) Everest Technology Holdings reasonably believes that such action is necessary to conform or comply with any legal, regulatory, law enforcement or similar requirement or investigation, to protect or defend the rights or property of Everest Technology Holdings or any third party or to enforce the Terms of Service or (d) otherwise authorized by you.
As an example, if you are an Individual and use the Service to contact a Provider, then Everest Technology Holdings will share relevant Personal Data with that Provider, which may include your name, address, contact information, date of birth, health insurance information and (if provided by you) personal health information.
HIPAA.
Everest Technology Holdings is not legally obligated to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, including the Privacy Rule, Security Rule and other implementing regulations (collectively, HIPAA), or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (Title XIII, Subtitle D), including its implementing regulations (HITECH).
California Residents.
Everest Technology Holdings does not meet the threshold conditions and is not considered a “business” and therefore, is not subject to the requirements of the California Consumer Privacy Act. Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (the “Shine the Light” law), because Everest Technology Holdings, Inc. does not share your personal information with third parties for the third party’s direct marketing purpose, Everest Technology Holdings has no further obligations under the Shine the Light law.
Nevada Residents.
Nevada law allows Nevada residents to opt-out of the sale of certain types of personal information. Subject to a number of exceptions, Nevada law defines “sale” to mean the exchange of certain types of personal information for monetary consideration to a person for the person to license or sell the information to additional persons. We do not currently sell personal information as defined in the Nevada law. However, if you are a Nevada resident, you still may submit a verified request to opt-out of sales and we will record your instructions and incorporate them in the future if our policy changes. Opt-out requests may be sent to hello@everesthealth.com
Utah Residents.
We do not disclose your Personal Data to any third party for such third party’s direct marketing purposes.
Business Transfers.
Everest Technology Holdings may transfer Traffic Data, Service Data (including Personal Data) and Analytics to any successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets that concerns the Service. In the event of any such transfer, the successor will have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations of this Privacy Policy, including, without limitation, the right to modify or replace this Privacy Policy, as provided herein.
Security.
Information collected by Everest Technology Holdings is stored in operating environments that are secured using commercially available tools and procedures, and which are not made generally available to the public. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet and/or wireless networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, Everest Technology Holdings cannot unequivocally guarantee the security of any information you provide, and you do so at your own risk. Once Everest Technology Holdings receives your information, it will make reasonable efforts to ensure its security on Everest Technology Holdings's systems.
