HeartLung Privacy Policy

 

HeartLung takes data privacy seriously. HeartLung herein refers to HeartLung Corporation and other entities affiliated with American Heart Technologies. We have created this Privacy Policy to educate you on the measures we take regarding how we use and disclose your personal information that we collect through our website www.heartlung.ai, www.heartlung.com, www.livelonghealth.com, www.livelongscan.com,  www.heartlungscan.com, www.autobmd.ai and other sites we own and operate (the “Website”), the HeartLung and LiveLong Mobile Applications (the “App”), collectively called (the “Services”).

To the extent you create a profile for someone other than yourself (an “Authorizing Individual”), you represent that such person acknowledges this Privacy Policy, and you are authorized to provide us with personal and other information related to such person on their behalf. This Policy focuses on information that is personally identifiable, such as contact information (e.g., name, address, email address) and any other non-public information that is associated with such information (“Personal Information”) and health information, such as test results (“Health Information”). When we use the term “De-Identified Information,” we mean information that is not individually identifiable.

Please read this policy carefully before using the Website or the App:

How Do We Collect and Use Your Information?

The use of Personal Information we collect about you depends on how and why you interact with us. These uses may include security purposes to protect the Services and other specific purposes, which we will indicate to you at the time your information is collected.

• Your account information. When you provide information through the App, such as when you create an account or set up a profile in your account for yourself or others, we collect your email address, name, birth date, state, and zip code. We may also collect your geolocation information if you choose to provide it. If you are a health care provider, we may also collect a medical record number or other patient identifiers. We use this information to provide you with the Cue Test, to improve and enhance our Services, including developing new products, features, and functionality, to communicate to you regarding updates to the App, to verify your email account, and additional communications related to your use of the App and Services, and to comply with our legal obligations.

• Camera, Audio, Images & Video: With your consent, the App may access your mobile device’s camera and audio for additional limited purposes. You may have the option to these mobile device features to: 1) scan a QR code located on the Website to link it to your profile in the App; 2) scan a barcode, badge, or other code to confirm your identification, if your user account is associated with other services provided by HeartLung; 3) take and attach a photo to the user profile in the App; 4) record and transmit audio and video using the microphone and camera for identity verification when using Telehealth or Virtual Care (in limited circumstances) with your consent; and 5) any other purpose as specified and with your consent.

• Mobile device and technical information. When you use the App, we collect technical information such as the type of mobile device you use, your device-operating characteristics, a unique device identifier, location information, and other information about your session on the App. We use this information to improve and enhance our Services. We also use technologies, such crash logs, that provide mobile identifiers and details about your mobile device manufacturer and operating system, to collect technical information about your use of our Services that resulted in a crash or error. We use these tools to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, tracking user trends, and providing relevant advertising to you.

• Customer service requests. When you contact us, such as when you contact us through the Services to inquire about our products or obtain support for our products, we collect your name and email address. We use this information that you provide to us to respond to your inquiries and to tell you new opportunities, products or services.
