This Privacy Notice is effective as of January 1, 2023.

Privacy Notice Highlights

This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) informs you (or the entity on whose behalf you are using a Service) what Personal Information MPN Software Systems, Inc. and ECLIPSE EHR Solutions, LLC (“MPN,” “EES,” “the company,” “we, “us,” or “our”) may collect, how EES collects such Personal Information, how EES uses such Personal Information in connection with the Services we provide to you or our customers (i.e., Providers as defined below), and your choices related to your Personal Information.

This Notice does not apply to information received, or obtained, by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link, or be accessible, from or on our website. MPN may use a variety of third-party platforms for data storage of your PHI, depending on your service selection, in order to keep it safe and secure. We may also share your personal information with other service providers.

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY NOTICE CAREFULLY. YOUR USE OF OUR SOFTWARE CONSTITUTES YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE. KINDLY DO NOT USE OUR SOFTWARE IF YOU ARE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO CONSENT TO THE TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS PRIVACY NOTICE.

“Services” means EES’s products and services, such as our websites (“Sites”), electronic medical records systems, practice management systems, healthcare provider customer portals, patient portals (collectively, “Portals”), software and mobile applications for the foregoing.

In this Privacy Notice, we do not include Protected Health Information (“PHI”) in the definition of Personal Information because PHI has different treatment under HIPAA (as defined below), other applicable laws, and the Customer Documents (as defined below). Accordingly, because PHI is handled differently under the Customer Documents, if you are a patient of a Provider (as defined below), your PHI is subject to the Customer Documents and your Provider’s terms of service and privacy practices.

This Privacy Notice applies wherever it is posted, and it is part of and incorporated into any applicable Terms of Use Agreements (“Terms of Use”) for the Sites, the Portals, and other Services, and into any applicable Terms and Conditions for our software (“Terms and Conditions”). Any terms capitalized herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the applicable Terms of Use or Terms and Conditions. By visiting or using the Services or otherwise affirming the acceptance of an agreement into which this Privacy Notice is incorporated by reference, you acknowledge and agree to accept the practices described in this Privacy Notice regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of your Personal Information. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Notice, please do not use the Services. This Privacy Notice is not a contract and does not create any contractual rights or obligations. Your use of the Services is governed by the applicable Terms of Use or Terms and Conditions of the respective Services.

We do not sell or loan your data to anyone.

Please note that some privacy rights and obligations may differ in certain locations based on local law, in which case EES will comply with the local legal requirements. EES reserves the right, at any time, to modify this Privacy Notice. If we make revisions that change the way we collect, use, or share Personal Information, we will post those changes in this Privacy Notice. If we make material changes to our Privacy Notice, we may also notify you by other means prior to the changes taking effect, such as by posting a notice on our Site or sending you a notification. You should review this Privacy Notice periodically so that you keep up to date on our most current policies and practices. EES will note the effective date of the latest version of our Privacy Notice at the beginning of this Privacy Notice.

The Personal Information We Collect

When you access and use the Services, we may collect the following types of information:

  1. “Personal Information” is information that identifies an individual or relates to an identifiable individual or household. The types of Personal Information collected, and the uses thereof depend on the purposes for which we collect the Personal Information (e.g., whether you are a visitor to our Sites, a user of our Portals, or a customer of our Services).
  2. “Protected Health Information” or “PHI” is individually identifiable health information that is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”).
  3. “Usage Data” is information that we automatically collect about your use of the Services and includes the sort that Web browsers and servers typically make available, through Web server logs, Web beacons, cookies, and other similar tracking technologies, about the devices you use to access our Services, as well as information on how you interact with our Services. Usage Data may include the IP address of a device or internet service used to connect your device to the Internet and may provide information about your Location; computer and connection information such as your browser type and version; operating system and platform; confirmation when you open e-mail that we send you; purchase history; and the URLs which lead you to and around the Site including the date and time of access. Usage Data may overlap with Location Information. Usage Data is generally not considered Personal Information, but may be in some instances.
How We Collect Your Personal Information

EES uses information collected from users of the Services to personalize and improve your visit and experience, to provide the Services to you or our customers, and for other purposes set out below. When you use the Services, EES may collect Personal Information in the following ways described below.

Information You Provide to EES: EES collects Personal Information when you use and interact with the Services, such as when you:

  1. Communicate with EES about our Services via our Contact Us page;
  2. Complete and submit forms to us on our Sites or Provider Portals (e.g., to register for an account on a Provider Portal, authenticate yourself to verify your authorized use of the Services, or to subscribe to our newsletters);
  3. Visit our Sites or interact with us on social media and provide us Personal Information.

Wherever your medical provider inputs sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

Information that EES Collects Automatically: When you use the Services, EES may automatically collect Usage Data subject to the settings of your device that you use to access the Services. With your consent, we may also collect information from your device to facilitate your use of certain features of the Services. EES may use this data to analyze trends and statistics to improve your online experience or our customer service.

Information from Other Sources: EES may collect Personal Information from other sources such as the Internet and other publicly-available sources and databases, data aggregators, marketing companies, and other third parties, including sources from which you authorize us to obtain Personal Information about you on your behalf. If you authorize us to collect information from a third party, or if you authorize a third party to send us information, and you later decide that you no longer want us to obtain that information, you may need to contact the third party source directly and request that they stop transmitting information to us. For example, if You submit claims to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) You may decide to authorize us to obtain information directly from CMS, For more information about how those third parties collect and use your Personal Information, please review the privacy policy of each respective third party.

Protected Health Information; EES as a Business Associate

Certain Services we provide to our customers or make available to their patients, such as the Portals, as well as certain support operations, involve access to, and the processing of, PHI. This PHI is provided to us pursuant to a service agreement, business associate agreement, or other document with terms and conditions for the Portals (the “Customer Documents”) that we have entered with our customers (health care providers or their firms, “Providers”) that also govern our use of PHI of their patients provided by our Provider customers or their patient users.

This Privacy Notice supplements the Customer Documents. EES only uses such PHI as a “business associate” of its Providers, who are “covered entities,” in accordance with any instructions or restrictions provided to EES by the Provider and in full compliance with the applicable provisions of HIPAA.

If you are a patient of a Provider, our use and disclosure of your Protected Health Information is governed by HIPAA and other applicable laws, as well as the Customer Documents with your Provider—and not by this Privacy Notice. Your Provider’s collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of such PHI are governed, in turn, by your Provider’s terms and conditions and privacy practices between you and your Provider. Please submit all requests and questions related to your PHI directly to your Provider. We are not responsible for how our Provider customers treat PHI we collect on their behalf, and we recommend you review their own privacy policies.

Our Sites are generally not intended to collect or retain any PHI. Thus, sections of this Privacy Notice that discuss collection on the Sites do not apply to PHI, and we do not request, obtain, use, or disclose any PHI through our Site(s).
