EFFECTIVE January 26, 2022

Your information and your privacy are important — to you and to us. This policy explains how we use your information and how we keep it safe.

When This Policy Applies

This Privacy Policy (Our Policy) covers the information generated when you use or subscribe to products, services, apps, websites, and/or networks provided by Medical Data Networks LLC, its collaborators, partners, and/or its associates. 

This Policy applies to you and anyone who uses our Products or Services under your account, except where we identify for you that separate Medical Data Networks LLC privacy policies or terms and conditions apply.

You are responsible for making sure all users under your account understand and agree to this Policy.

Here are special circumstances where this Policy may not apply or may apply in addition to other policies:

Some of our Products or Services – for example, the T1 Pal Nightscout service rely on transmitting and/or receiving information to other products or services not operated by Medical Data Networks LLC. Our privacy policy does not cover those products or services not operated by Medical Data Networks LLC.

Some areas both inside and outside of the United States – for example, California and the European Union – require us to adopt different policy terms and commitments in accordance with local laws.

In certain cases, when you are using your Medical Data Networks LLC Products or Services, other companies may be collecting information, so that your information may be covered by this Policy and other privacy policies at the same time.

For example, if you purchase one of our Products or Services from a distributor or medical clinic, and/or if you use our services to connect to a social networking service, and/or if you provide your information to another company through a co-branded website, app or service controlled by the other company. In each such case, any information you provide to those companies may be subject to just their policy, or subject to both their policy and ours.

If you are an affiliate of Medical Data Networks LLC,  and/or a business customer, we may have written Product or Service agreements that contain specific provisions about confidentiality, security, or handling of information. When one of those agreements differs from or conflicts with this Policy, the terms of those agreements will apply instead.

How we share your information

• We share it with your permission.
• We share it across Medical Data Networks LLC departments and affiliates.
• We share it with other companies or entities as explained in this Policy.

Sharing information with Medical Data Networks LLC affiliates

Our Products and Services may be developed, managed, marketed, and may be sold by a variety of affiliates. We share information that may identify you personally internally among our affiliates.

For information collected under this Policy, we require the affiliate to protect the information consistent with this Policy. We may also combine information that identifies you personally with data that comes from an app or affiliate that has a different privacy policy. When we do that, our Policy applies to the combined data set.

Sharing information with other companies that provide services for us or for you

We share information that identifies you personally with vendors that perform services for us or that support Products or Services provided to you, including marketing or ad delivery services. We do not require consent for sharing with our vendors for these purposes. We do not allow those vendors to use your information for any purpose other than to perform those services, and we require them to protect the confidentiality and security of data they get from us in a way that’s consistent with this Policy.

Sharing information with other companies to enable third party services to you:

We may share information with other companies for their purposes to provide you services such as verifying or authenticating your identity, detecting fraud, protecting your financial accounts, and authorizing transactions.

We do not require proof of your explicit consent before sharing the information that identifies you personally for this purpose. We do not allow those other companies to use it for any purpose other than to perform those services, and we require them to protect the confidentiality and security of data they get from us in a way that’s consistent with this Policy.

In some cases, to facilitate these programs, we will use or share identifiers such as your phone or account number. These identifiers are only used for network authentication, to detect fraud, for identity verification, or for the linking of devices you own to authenticate you.

There are also times when we provide information that identifies you personally to other companies and entities, such as government agencies, credit bureaus, and collection agencies, without your explicit consent, but where authorized or required by law.

Reasons to share include:

1. Complying with court orders, subpoenas, lawful discovery requests and as otherwise authorized or required by law. Like all companies, we are required by law to provide information to government and law enforcement agencies, as well as parties to civil lawsuits.
2. Detecting fraud.

3. Providing or obtaining payment for your service.
4. Enforcing our legal rights, protecting our network and property or defending against legal claims.
5. Complying with legal requirements to share the names, addresses and telephone numbers of customers .
6. Providing name and number information for wireline and wireless CallerID and related services, like Call Trace. This means a person receiving a call can see the name and number of the caller.

Sharing Metrics Reports with non-T1 Pal companies

Sometimes the services you enjoy from us directly involve other businesses. We may share all of our information with them as a means of improving both their services as well as ours.

Sharing information for research

We may share information that doesn’t identify you personally with other companies and entities for research. When we share this information, we require companies and entities to agree not to attempt or to allow others to use it to identify individuals. Our agreements will also prevent businesses from reusing or reselling the information and require that they will handle it in a secure manner, consistent with this Policy.

When a governmental entity obtains a court order, we’re authorized to disclose personally identifiable information collected from a subscriber as a result of the subscriber’s use of any of our products or services.

Security

We work hard to safeguard your data using a range of technological and organizational security controls.

We maintain and protect the security of computer storage and network equipment, and we use security procedures that require employees to authenticate themselves to access sensitive data. We also limit access to personal information only to those with jobs requiring such access.

We require callers and online users to authenticate themselves before providing account information.

No security measures are perfect, however.

We can’t and don’t guarantee that your information will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Policy. If a breach were to occur, we may notify you as required by applicable law.

Data storage, transfer, retention, and accuracy

We take steps to ensure that data is processed according to this Policy and to the requirements of the applicable law of your country and of the additional countries where the data is subsequently processed.

Data we collect may be processed and stored in the United States or in other countries where we or our affiliates or service providers process data.

When we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area to other countries, we use a variety of legal mechanisms to help ensure all applicable laws, rights and regulations continue to protect your data.

We keep your information as long as we need it for business, tax, or legal purposes. But we cannot and do not offer guarantees that your information is effectively saved or reused for any purpose.

Other privacy information

Changes in ownership or to the Policy

Information about our customers and users, including information that identifies you personally, may be shared and transferred as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider. This also applies in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership.

We may update this Policy as necessary to reflect changes we make and to satisfy legal requirements. We’ll post a prominent notice of material changes on our websites. We’ll give you reasonable notice before any material changes take effect.
