Prevention Systems will use reasonable measures to protect the personally identifiable information you provide through the Service (Your Information) from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, alteration, and destruction.
Prevention Systems has provided this notice to describe the online information collection and use practices in connection with the Service. This privacy policy applies only to the information collected directly for the Service, and does not apply to any other information that Prevention Systems collects about you on other Prevention Systems owned, operated, or sponsored web sites, or in other forums, including in e-mail correspondences or over the telephone.
Prevention Systems may use Your Information to create non-identifiable summary information or aggregated data, and may share this non-identifiable summary or aggregated data with your employer or health plan.

In some circumstances, Prevention Systems’s use of your information will also be subject to the requirements of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (frequently referred to as HIPAA). This may be the case when you submit information to Prevention Systems when it is acting on behalf of your health plan (e.g., when you complete a Preventive Care Assessment online using the Service as a health program offered by your health plan), in which case your health plan’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices will apply. Any uses and disclosures of your personal information described in this policy will then be further limited to only those uses and disclosures also stated in your plans HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Health care providers and other persons whom you authorize to access your Prevention Systems records will have access to portions of Your Information. Their access will be limited based on the choices you make in your authorizations. If you select “Email Recommendations” or “Email Personal Health Record”, all applicable content available to you online, including Your Information, if applicable, will be emailed to the email address you have entered in your profile in unencrypted form.

Please be aware that it is possible that technical staff at the hosting company will see your answers while helping Prevention Systems solve technical problems.
