Notenetic, LLC (“Notenetic,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to maintaining robust privacy protections for its users. Our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) is designed to help you understand how and why we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our Notenetic.com website, applications, or other online services we provide (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing the Notenetic.com website or using our Services, you accept our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (collectively, the “Agreement”) and your consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Policy does not address the privacy practices of any third party, including those with whom your information may be shared through your use of the Services. Please be sure to review the privacy practices of any third party prior to sharing your information.
Information We Collect
Some information we collect cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information, referring/exit pages and URLs, preferences you submit, and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit and number of clicks (collectively, “Non-Personal Information”).
We also collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual consumer or household (“Personal Information”). We collect Personal Information about you when you create a user account (“Account”). We collect additional Personal Information about you as you complete your Account information, including your (and/or your practice’s) address, phone number, and other information. Some aspects of the Services through your Account may be subject to fees. We collect Personal Information about your payment information, such as credit card information, when you sign up for these aspects of the Services. We may de-identify and anonymize Personal Information so it is no longer associated with any individual(s) in order to use it for other purposes, such as aggregating the data for statistical analysis.
Under a federal law called the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and subsequent laws and regulations, when Notenetic receives certain health-related information, that information may be classified as “Protected Health Information” (“PHI”) under the law. HIPAA provides specific protections for the privacy and security of PHI and restricts how it may be used and disclosed. Notwithstanding any statements about the use of your Personal Information more generally in this Privacy Policy, Notenetic will only use and disclose PHI as authorized by you and/or your Service Provider(s) in accordance with applicable law.
To that end, before any PHI that you provide is shared with a Service Provider, you may be asked to affirmatively authorize Notenetic to do so. By providing such authorization, you are permitting Notenetic to release your Personal Information, including PHI, to those specified Service Provider(s) pursuant to HIPAA. Your authorization is entirely voluntary, but without authorization, Notenetic will not be able to share your information with selected Service Providers.
Information Use and Sharing

We request some information directly from you during registration. We gather other pieces of data indirectly from website traffic, your computer hardware and Internet connection, or your activities within the Services, communications, and usage.

We may confirm any or all information in your Provider Profile with appropriate third-party resources. We use this information to provide your Provider Profile with a Badge.
Analytics and Advertiser Information
We may collect Third Party Information about you and your use of the Services from third-party analytics tools and advertisers.

This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards.
