TISSUE ANALYTICS APPLICATION
GDPR Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. As part of our efforts to facilitate and make your experience with the Tissue Analytics Software as user-friendly and enjoyable as possible, we may collect and use certain information you provide to us. This Privacy Policy addresses the collection, use, and disclosure of information that Tissue Analytics may gather during your use of the Software. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in the SOFTWARE end user license agreement.
Please review the entire policy to learn the types of End User information Tissue Analytics gathers, how Tissue Analytics uses that End User information, what End User information is disclosed and to what third parties, and how Tissue Analytics safeguards your End User information.
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Tissue Analytics Software. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any software managed, maintained, and/or hosted by third parties not directly affiliated with Tissue Analytics that you may access, e.g., via a link provided through the Software or our website. Tissue Analytics does not control the privacy policies applicable to other software or websites to which we may provide hyperlinks. We encourage you to learn more about the online privacy and data security policies of third parties directly from such third parties, as their policies may differ from ours.
It is important that you read this Privacy Policy together with the Tissue Analytics Mobile Application End User License Agreement, and all other applicable Tissue Analytics rules and policies so you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.
I. Information Tissue Analytics Collects
A. Personal Information and Non-Identifying Information
We may ask you for personally identifiable information if, for example, you contact us requesting information or a demonstration of our services. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your full name, email address, and any other information that could be used to personally identify you.
We also collect other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your account with us that does not identify you (“Non-Identifying Information”). Non-Identifying Information includes, but is not limited to, individual preferences. Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your gender only or your viewing preferences).
We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide the Software and attendant services, facilitate and complete transactions for you, and respond to correspondence from you. We may also use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your account information.
We may also combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Software, and to analyze and understand how the Software is used.
B. Usage Data
When you use the Software, our servers automatically record information referred to as “Usage Data.” This Usage Data may include information such as the manufacturer and model of your device; your Internet Service Provider (ISP); your device’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (or other device identifier), browser type, and operating system; referring/exit pages; clickstream data; Software access times and dates; information you search for in the Software; and other statistics.
We use this information for technical administration of the Software and attendant services, including to monitor and analyze use of the Software, to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of the Software, and to better tailor the Software to End Users’ needs.
Usage Data may be non-identifying or it may be associated with you. Whenever we associate Usage Data with Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information.
II. Collection of Information
Tissue Analytics may use a number of different techniques and technologies to collect Personal Information, Non-Identifying Information, and Usage Data. For example, Tissue Analytics may use cookies, log files, clear gifs, pixel tags, embedded scripts, and/or other technology used to monitor your use of the Software.
A. Forms
We request certain information from you through the use of forms when you send us correspondence through the Software.
B. Cookies
The Software uses cookies and other technologies to help us understand which parts of the Software are more popular and how much time users spend there. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to and stored on your device from our server. Cookies may, for example, allow a user to enter a password less frequently or remember a user’s preferences during an online session.
The Software uses cookies to determine whether an End User is active and for other business purposes. The Software may include first-party cookies (i.e., cookies that send data directly to Tissue Analytics and agents and contractors acting on behalf of Tissue Analytics, including cookies used to monitor, analyze, and administer the Software) and third-party cookies from Google Analytics, Wistia, and Intercom (i.e., cookies that send data to our contractors for their commercial use). The cookies used in connection with our Software may also track Internet activity across different Software.
C. Usage Data
Usage Data are collected automatically by our servers. For example, because the Software automatically collects Usage Data for all End Users that use the Software, your use of the Software will be tracked. We may collect and use technical data and related information, including technical information about your device, system and application software, and peripherals, to maintain and support the Software generally.
Additionally, in some of our email messages, Tissue Analytics may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Software. When an End User clicks onto one of these URLs, the End User will pass through our server before arriving at the destination Web page. Tissue Analytics tracks this click-through data to help us determine End User interest in certain subject matter and measure the effectiveness of these End User communications. You can avoid being tracked in this way by not clicking text or graphic links in emails from Tissue Analytics.
Finally, we may use clear gifs or pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images, in order: (i) to advise us of what parts of the Software End Users interact with, (ii) to measure the effectiveness of any searches End Users perform, and (iii) to enable us to send emails in a format that End Users can read and tell us whether such emails have been opened in order to ensure us that we are sending messages that are of interest to End Users.
D. Public Communications
Please note that if you use any bulletin board, chat room, comment posting feature, or other public communication service, forum, or feature offered through the Software, or post any information available for viewing by other End Users, any of the information that you share will be visible to other End Users. The information that you make available can be read, used, and collected by other End Users to send you unsolicited messages. Tissue Analytics is not responsible for the manner in which the Personal Information that you decide to share will be used by other End Users.
III. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will only use your Personal Information when the law permits such use. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Information in the following circumstances:
- Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Our legitimate interests include:
- To provide you with information that you requested;
- To improve our services, to customize your experience, or to serve you specific content that is most relevant to you;
- To contact you with regard to your requests or use of any use of our services and, in our discretion, changes to any of our services and/or any of our policies;
- For internal business purposes such as complying with our internal policies;
- To protect our interests, including establishing, exercising and defending legal rights and claims.
- For purposes disclosed at the time you provide your information or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy.
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your Personal Information other than in certain instances.
We may process your Personal Information for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data.
THIRD-PARTY MARKETING
We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your Personal Information with any company outside Tissue Analytics for marketing purposes.
COOKIES
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some items may become inaccessible or not function properly.
Tracking Technologies
We obtain your consent to our information storage or collection tracking technologies by providing you with transparent information in our Privacy Policy and providing you with the opportunity to make a choice to disable cookies when you first access our software.
CHANGE OF PURPOSE
We will only use your Personal Information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please Contact Us at contact@tissue-analytics.com.
We will not use your previously collected Personal Information in a manner materially different than represented at the time it was collected without your consent or explaining our legal basis for doing so.
Please note that we may process your Personal Information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
IV. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Tissue Analytics’ policy is not to share the End User information it collects with third parties other than as specified below, or where an End User expressly consents to our sharing of certain information with a third party. We may have to share your Personal Information for the purposes set out below. We require third parties to respect the security of your Personal Information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We may share End User information with third parties under the following circumstances:
A. Business Partners and Vendors
We may employ third party companies and individuals for any of the following: to facilitate operation of the Software and attendant services; to provide the Software and attendant services, or portions thereof, on our behalf; to perform related services, including without limitation, maintenance services, database management, fulfillment, web analytics, and improvement of the features or functionality; or to assist us in analyzing how the Software is being used.
B. Promotions
From time to time, we may offer promotions through the Software that require a separate registration. By participating in such a promotion, we will provide you with the official rules for the promotion. Information collected in connection with a promotion will be used consistently with the promotion’s official rules and this Privacy Policy.
C. Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, sell, or share assets in connection with, for example, a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy. In such transactions, information about End Users generally is often a transferred business asset. In the event that Tissue Analytics itself or substantially all of Tissue Analytics’ assets are acquired, information about our End Users may be one of the transferred assets. If such a change happens to our business, the new owners may use your Personal Information in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy.
D. Legal Process
Subject to applicable law, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law, regulation or legal process, such as a subpoena; (ii) in response to requests by government entities, such as law enforcement authorities; (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical, financial or other harm, injury or loss; or (iv) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual unlawful activity.
E. Aggregate End User Information
We may release aggregate End User information (without revealing any Personal Information about you) to advertisers and other third parties in order to promote or describe use of the Software.
The above does not affect your legal rights under the relevant data protection legislation of your country.
V. International Transfer
Tissue Analytics controls and operates services related to the Software from its offices in the United States of America.
When you access the Software from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers and servers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.
VI. Changing or Deleting Your Information
All End Users who have created an account through the Software may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information in their registration profile by contacting us. If you completely delete all such information, then your account may become deactivated.
VII. Security
We employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and secure socket layers (SSL) to protect End User information.
We limit access to your Personal Information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Please note that no security system is impenetrable. Accordingly, we do not guarantee the security of our databases, nor that information you supply won’t be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet or other network. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
VIII. DATA RETENTION
HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
IX. YOUR EUROPEAN PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are located in the EU and you utilize our software, or if we collect, track and/or process or transfer Personal Information from you, or Personal Information which you submit to us through the website, your data will be managed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and in compliance with requirements of the GDPR.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Information. You have the right to:
Opt-in
If you are located in the EU, you have the right to opt-in to the collection, tracking and use of your Personal Information. We will not collect Personal Information from you unless you affirmatively accept our data practices as described in this Privacy Policy.
Request Access
You have the right to request access to your Personal Information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request Correction
You also have the right to request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request Erasure
This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing
You may object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing
This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of Personal Information to you or a third party
We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Opt-out
You will, at any time, have the right to opt-out or withdraw consent to the collection or use of your data. If you withdraw consent, please be advised that it may not be able to provide you with certain services and to perform certain functions. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent however, you may continue to use the software(s) in accordance with the Privacy Policy. You may change your data preferences and security settings at any time, and you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending us an email, letter or by telephone using the contact information above. In addition, at any time we seek your consent we will remind you of your ability to opt-out at any time as well as setting out any other methods for doing so.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please Contact Us at contact@tissue-analytics.com.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time Limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
X. Changes To The Privacy Notice
We may, in our sole discretion, update this Privacy Policy periodically without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our information practices or with respect to applicable laws. We will post the updated version on our website and indicate at the top of the Privacy Policy when it was last updated. Please revisit this page periodically to stay aware of any changes to this Privacy Policy. In the event that the modifications materially alter your rights or obligations hereunder, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of the change. For example, we may send a message to your email address, if we have one on file, or generate a pop-up or similar notification after such material changes are made. Our amended Privacy Policy will automatically take effect upon the date that an update is published. Your continued use of the software after the revised or updated Privacy Policy has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the then-current version of the Privacy Policy.
XI. Children’s Privacy

Any access to or use of the Software by anyone under the age of thirteen (13) is unauthorized, unlicensed, and in violation of the Agreement.

THE SOFTWARE IS INTENDED TO BE USED IN THE CONTEXT OF CERTAIN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS. WHEN USED IN SUCH SETTINGS, CUSTOMER AND ITS AUTHORIZED PROVIDERS ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING ALL APPLICABLE MEDICAL PROTOCOLS AND POLICIES AND FOR ANY MEDICAL CARE AND HEALTHCARE SERVICES RENDERED TO INDIVIDUALS. ANY GUIDANCE PROVIDED OR SUGGESTED BY NET HEALTH, THROUGH THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE, THAT MAY BE INTERPRETED AS RELATING TO MEDICAL PROTOCOLS AND POLICIES OR THE MEDICAL CARE OR HEALTHCARE SERVICES RENDERED TO INDIVIDUALS IS PURELY ADVISORY IN NATURE AND SHOULD NOT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER’S PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT. NET HEALTH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE CAN OR WILL DIAGNOSE ANY MEDICAL CONDITION, DETECT RISK FACTORS RELEVANT TO ANY MEDICAL CONDITION; OR PROVIDE ANY TREATMENT DECISIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED TO A MEDICAL CONDITION. NET HEALTH DISCLAIMS, AND CUSTOMER RELEASES NET HEALTH FROM, ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATING TO PERSONAL INJURY, MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, OR OTHER CLAIMS RELATING TO ADHERENCE TO APPLICABLE MEDICAL PROTOCOLS AND POLICIES AND MEDICAL CARE AND HEALTHCARE SERVICES RENDERED TO INDIVIDUALS.
ELECTRONIC PRESCRIPTION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
(“EPCS”)
- EPCS Accounts.Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Agreement and the additional terms and conditions of DrFirst, as set forth on the DrFirst website, Net Health agrees to provide CUSTOMER with the number of electronic prescribing controlled substances account(s) (the “EPCS Account(s)”) as specified on the applicable Purchase Schedule, for purposes of CUSTOMER’s and its Prescribing Providers’ (as defined below) use and access of the EPCS Feature of the Software.
- Prescribing Providers.Each EPCS Account shall be assigned to a specific provider (the “Prescribing Provider(s)”, each of which is listed on the applicable Purchase Schedule). Each Prescribing Provider must properly register through the Software and the DrFirst website. As part of the two-factor authentication requirement for the EPCS Feature, Net Health will provide each Prescribing Provider with a complimentary Identity-Proof Hard Token (“IDP Hard Token”) and one complimentary replacement IDP Hard Token and confirmation letter in the event the IDP Hard Token is lost, damaged or inoperable. Thereafter, CUSTOMER shall pay Net Health’s then-current Fees for each additional IDP Hard Token and confirmation letter, as applicable. In the event a Prescribing Provider secures and elects to use an Identity-Proof Soft Token (“IDP Soft Token”), provided by a third-party, (e.g. Symantec mobile application, etc.), the IDP Soft Token must be downloaded/stored on a separate device from the computer or device on which the Prescribing Provider gains access to the EPCS Feature and transmits prescriptions. (The IDP Hard Token and IDP Soft Token are sometimes referred to generally as an “IDP Token”).
- CUSTOMER Responsibilities. CUSTOMER and each Prescribing Provider understand and agree: (a) to retain sole possession of the IDP Hard Token, and not to share the login passphrase with any other person; (b) that it shall not allow any other person to use an IDP Token or enter the login passphrase in order to sign controlled substance prescriptions; (c) that failure to secure the IDP Token, login passphrase, or any biometric information may provide a basis for revocation or suspension of the EPCS Account; (d) to notify Net Health within one business day of discovery if: (i) CUSTOMER or a Prescribing Provider is contacted by a pharmacy because one or more controlled substance prescriptions are displaying the incorrect United States Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”) number; (ii) if CUSTOMER or a Prescribing Provider discover that one or more controlled substance prescriptions issued using a Prescribing Provider DEA number were not consistent with the prescriptions actually signed, or were not signed at all; (iii) if a Prescribing Provider’s IDP Token has been lost, stolen, or the authentication protocol has been compromised in any way; (e) that the Prescribing Provider is responsible for any controlled substance prescriptions written using its two-factor authentication credential; (f) that Prescribing Providers have the same responsibilities when issuing electronic prescriptions for controlled substances as when issuing paper or oral prescriptions; (g) to prescribe controlled substances only for legitimate medical purposes; (h) to review security logs on a daily basis for any security incidents; and (i) to report to the DEA any security incident and provide Net Health with a copy of such report. CUSTOMER agrees to keep all security incident reports on file for a period of two (2) years.
- EPCS Account Fees.In consideration of CUSTOMER’s use of the EPCS Account(s), CUSTOMER shall pay to Net Health the Fees set forth in the applicable Purchase Schedule. Payment of Fees is due in accordance with the terms set forth in the Purchase Schedule. Fees are subject to increase no more than once per year.
- Patient Confidentiality; Compliance with Laws.All patient information exchanged through the EPCS Feature is strictly confidential and subject to the protections of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by Title XIII, Subtitle D of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (collectively, “HIPAA”) and the privacy, security and breach notification regulations promulgated pursuant to HIPAA, including, but not limited to, 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164, as may be amended from time to time, and all applicable state laws and regulations that govern the confidentiality, privacy and security of patient information. By using the EPCS Feature, CUSTOMER, and each Prescribing Provider, agrees to comply with all applicable Federal and state laws and regulations. Specifically, CUSTOMER is solely responsible for knowing and complying with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations with respect to electronic prescriptions for controlled substances. CUSTOMER and each Prescribing Provider expressly acknowledge that the DEA explicitly prohibits Prescribing Providers from using a computer, or device to transmit a prescription if the applicable Prescribing Provider’s IDP Token is on the same computer, or device. CUSTOMER and each of its Prescribing Providers expressly agree to abide by this prohibition. CUSTOMER is required to obtain from a patient any consents or authorizations required by applicable law before sending such patient’s information through the EPCS Feature. CUSTOMER is required to retain any information about the patient information that it discloses through the EPCS Feature that applicable laws require, including, but not limited to, the accounting of disclosures under HIPAA. CUSTOMER will immediately report to Net Health any attempted or successful unauthorized use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of patient information through the EPCS Feature.
- Third Party Product.CUSTOMER acknowledges that the EPCS Feature is a third party component used in conjunction with the Software (“Third Party Product”). CUSTOMER acknowledges that continued usage of such Third Party Product(s) is contingent on Net Health’s continued relationship with such Third Party Product vendor. Net Health makes no representation or warranty with respect to such Third Party Products sold or licensed to CUSTOMER. Net Health shall not be liable for any damages, costs, or expenses, direct or indirect, arising out of the performance or failure to perform of the Third Party Products. Furthermore, when using the EPCS Feature of the Software, information will be transmitted over a medium that may be beyond the control and jurisdiction of Net Health and its Third Party Product suppliers and licensors. Net Health assumes no liability for or relating to the delay, failure, interruption, or corruption of any data or other information transmitted in connection with use of the EPCS Feature of the Software.
SES DIRECT ACCOUNT
- SES Direct Account. Net Health will provide CUSTOMER with the requested number of SES Direct Account(s) (the “Account(s)”) specified on an applicable Purchase Schedule for purposes of sending direct messages related to patient care to other SES Direct Account users. The Fees and terms of payment are as specified in the applicable Purchase Schedule.
- User ID and Password. Access to the Account(s) is protected by user name and password (collectively an “ID”). CUSTOMER IDs are personal to each user and must not be shared with other users. CUSTOMER agrees to keep IDs confidential and not to share or permit use of an ID by anyone other than the specified Account user. CUSTOMER agrees to immediately notify Net Health if it becomes aware of any unauthorized use of an ID.
- Use of Direct Email.
