Healthcare Snap Privacy Policy
Effective Date June 28th 2022
Healthcare Snap knows everyone’s health is a deeply personal matter, and so we very much appreciate the trust you place in us when you visit our site and create an account.
Privacy is a fundamental human right and we have this (“Privacy Policy”) to help you make informed decisions about sharing information with us.
This policy discloses our current privacy practices; if we make changes to these practices, we will share the updated policy here with a dated notation. We encourage you to check back periodically to see if there are any changes. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy, or any other policy or practice, at any time. Your use, or continued use, of this Site will be conclusively deemed acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any changes or modification to this Privacy Policy, respectively. If you do not agree to the terms of this policy or any revised policy, please exit the site immediately.
If you have any questions or concerns about our policy or its implementation, you may contact us by email at contact@healthcaresnap.com.
Why does the Healthcare Snap want an email address when making an account?
In order to provide our Users with a more personalized, relevant, and intelligent service, we regularly make improvements to this Site. The collection of personal data greatly assists us in this improvement process by identifying the interests and needs of the many Users to this Site. Data collection also assists us by allowing us and our affiliates to advertise products and/or services in a more efficient manner.
Although our primary goal in collecting personal information is to deliver a customized and personalized service to you, with permission, we also use the personal information we collect to (i) send Users e-mail of new features or information available through the Site or that we otherwise feels might be of interest to Users of this Site and (ii) allow third party advertisers and retailers, and their affiliates, offering goods or services that we think might be of interest to Users of this Site to deliver to you relevant information and offers. Users have the option to easily delete their account to remove themselves from our databases. If the account has been deleted, we no longer keep information on it. We also collect IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes, and to report aggregate information to our advertisers and others.
How and what information does the Healthcare Snap gather or track?
Through the use of "cookies" (as described below) and from information you provide via on-line data entry, survey, product purchase and registration forms, we may collect and/or monitor, in aggregate and individual form, personal identifying facts or data on, among other things, the following information:
Health Info
Age
Gender
Other health-related information
Technical Info
Computer Server
Domain Name
E-mail Address
Site Traffic
Reference Info
Name
Mailing Address
Telephone Number
Login Name / Password
Additionally, we use Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and web page usage.
Although some of the personal identifying information may be necessary for us to deliver some of our valuable services, all of the information collected is optional with respect to use of this Site.
In addition to the initial voluntary registration process, we may occasionally ask Users for personal information at other times, including when they complete optional survey forms or fill out optional contact forms for additional information on particular products and services.
There is nothing for sale on HealthcareSnap.com and therefore we have no need, use, or desire to collect any kind of payment related information.
Precise Device Location Information
We ask for your location only to determine which state you live in to show the most relevant results. You can set the location to any city or state in the United States. We may receive information about your location when your mobile device is set to provide location information. Healthcare Snap does not save User location information. To deactivate this Location Information feature, you can choose “No” when we ask. If you said “Yes” previously, just clear your cookies and refresh the page.
Mobile Location Settings
You can adjust the location settings of your mobile device at any time to control whether your device communicates location information. See your device instructions to learn more about these settings.
Cookies
"Cookies" are used by virtually every single website on Earth. They are small pieces of information that are stored by your web browser software on your computer's hard drive or temporarily in your computer's memory. The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and Users will find them on most major web sites.
Healthcare Snap may place and store Internet cookies on a User's hard drive. Cookies can save any of the types of information noted above. Cookies enable us to personalize the viewing experience of a User of this Site. When the User revisits this Site, we can recognize the User by the cookie and customize the User's experience at this Site accordingly. For example, we use cookies to recognize User access privileges to this Site, track Site usage and traffic patterns, add advertisements for goods or services of interest, and estimate this Site's audience size. We also use cookies to store User names and passwords that are supplied at registration.
WE NEVER SHARE YOUR PASSWORD AND EMAIL WITH ANYONE FOR ANY REASON.
If we utilize cookies in connection with the collection of information for third parties, i.e., advertisers, the relevant advertiser(s) may receive electronic notification when a User views the advertisement.
Although most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, if you prefer, a User may decline the placement of a cookie on his or her hard drive by using the appropriate feature(s) of one's web browser software (if available) to delete the cookie. Users should understand, however, that certain areas within this Site may not function properly if the web browser will not accept cookies.
What about external web sites?
To the extent hyperlinks are utilized to access third party sites, Users should be aware that these third party web sites are not controlled by Healthcare Snap and, therefore, are not subject to this Privacy Policy. Users should check the privacy policies of these individual sites to see how their personal information will be utilized by the proprietors of those third party web sites.
What does the Healthcare Snap do to keep this Site secure?
The Healthcare Snap has implemented a number of security features throughout the Site to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to personal information. For example, we grant access to any stored personal information we may collect on its Users only to authorized personnel. We don’t even ask for your name, or to verify your email address when you create an account to view our most useful data.
Please be advised, however, that although we have endeavored to create a secure and reliable Site for its Users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from us via this Site or E-mail cannot be guaranteed. You should never click a link from an unknown or untrusted source. When disclosing any personal information, all Users should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to the public, and consequently, can be collected and used by others without User consent. Accordingly, Users should consider carefully if they want to submit sensitive information that they would not want disclosed to the public and should recognize that their use of the Internet and this Site is solely at their own risk. Users, alone, are ultimately responsible for maintaining the secrecy of their personal information. The Healthcare Snap has no responsibility or liability for the security of personal information transmitted via the Internet. We urge all of our Users to be careful and responsible whenever they are on-line.
Can I opt-out of the Healthcare Snap's data collection and/or distribution?
As noted earlier, the collection, use, and distribution of personal data greatly assist us in creating a more, personalized, relevant, and intelligent service. Without the use of personal data, we could not deliver our valuable content and services in the most beneficial way. Consequently, we do ask for an email address to create an account, although such action is not required to use the Site.
At this time, we do not offer Users of this Site the ability to "opt-out" of having their data used as described in this Privacy Policy once they have provided information to us. However, as discussed above, registration and provision of personal information is voluntary. As described in the following Section, we do allow users delete their personal data stored by Healthcare Snap whenever they want and thereby opting out of any sort of correspondence.
Notwithstanding the above, Users of the mobile app version of the Site may opt out of Healthcare Snap’s future use of Google Analytics through a toggle switch in the “settings” tab.
Do I have the ability to access and correct my personal information?
At any time, a User may contact the Healthcare Snap via e-mail to request:
A summary of any personal information retained by Healthcare Snap on such User,
A change to the User's personal data record maintained by Healthcare Snap, or
Confirmation of the User's personal data record from Healthcare Snap’s database.
Users may submit their requests by email to contact@healthcarensnap.com. In the event we receive such a request, we may require the User to confirm or verify any change to the User's personal record.
What about the collection of personal information from children?
This Site is not primarily intended for individuals under the age of eighteen (18) ("children"). Accordingly, we will not knowingly collect or post information from children without parental or guardian consent. Moreover, we will not knowingly collect or use any personal data collected from children for any purpose whatsoever, including disclosure to any third party.
Does Healthcare Snap disclose personal information to third parties?
At this time, we do not share your information with anyone.
In the future, with respect to obtaining certain products and/or services from this Site, we will request your permission to disclose your registration information to a third party. It will be obvious and transparent if and when this occurs. Where we have obtained your permission, we will disclose your registration information to such third party so that you do not have to enter your registration information more than once. Note, however, that we are not and cannot be responsible for the activities or privacy policies of these third parties.
With the exception of where we have obtained your permission to disclose your registration information (NOT YOUR PASSWORD), we will NEVER disclose individual, personally identifiable data records to third parties without expressed and explicit consent.
As a way to generate revenue to help support the data we share on this website, we may disclose de-identified personal information in aggregate form to third parties or advertisers. For example, we might tell an advertiser how many males between 40 and 50 years of age have visited the site over a period of time.
