Seriously, we don’t want your “medical history” but if you happen to freely input that information, we’re okay with that. That’s it.

COPPA
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act - restricts information from or by children under the age of 13. Doctz does not permit children under 13 to individual register, sorry, and we do our very best to not allow the collection of such information. Really the only way We allow children is when they are associated with a parent or guardian through the account of the adult. If we happen to collect information from persons in this age range we will do our best to 1) inform them they cannot use our system, 2) discontinue the account, 3) and make best attempts at contact the parent or legal guardian that we’ve erased, deleted and ceased information related to their account.

Transparency and choice
You can use our system or not, it’s your choice. We don’t collect much information and even the payment information is specifically collected by PayPal (www.paypal.com) so you’ll have to look to their Privacy statement and legalese..

Information you share that we may share and you agree to allow to be shared.
When we are acquired or decide to sell we have to transfer the system to the new owners and well do our best to notify of that amazing day and what, if any, affect it has on your current privacy policy with us.
Personal Information and Contact Information with Providers, see above.
Some brief description of the reason for your visit or consultation.
We may integrated to your Provider’s EMR (Electronic Medical Records).
Why we’re so good is that we work with our providers and let them know how well their doing with our system and show them things like how many appointments we’re made in some time period.
If we use business Partners to deliver our service to you that may include things like where our servers are, data warehousing, customer services or anyone who may need access to our system to help - we’ll make sure that everyone has strict polices of security and confidentiality as we do.
Subcontractors and Employees. We do background assessments and maintain as high of quality We can regarding your security and privacy with everyone.

For instance SSL is an encryption technology that helps protect information transmitted to our servers and also until it’s storers on our servers. We really try to lock down all aspects and keep private all your information but with recent events just this year you can imagine that we cannot guarantee that there won’t be any accidental disclosures. If something like this happens of course we’ll let you know as soon as we’re able to assess the impact of an issue like that.
