2. Information We Collect From You

As used in this Privacy Policy, “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” is information that can be associated with a Visitor or Customer Representative, whether from the information alone or from a combination of other information that SystemsTX has or is likely to have access to. SystemsTX does not consider personal information to be information that is anonymous or aggregated so that it could no longer be used to identify a particular person.

We collect personal information from you that you provide to us directly and voluntarily, such as when you contact us through the “Contact Us” link on our website, request a demonstration, and register for and use our Services. Such personal information that you provide to us voluntarily may include, but is not limited to your name, physical address, email, telephone number, and payment card information.

For each health insurance verification request Customers submit to us for processing, our Services may store in our databases your user authentication information, your identity information, the Patient data you submit, and a date and time the request was submitted to us. This verification request information is used for providing you with health insurance verification information and may be used for improving our Services. For example, some of the verification request information may be used, in accordance with Section 4 of this Statement, to determine the amount of traffic through our Services and to perform other analytics.

If a verification request generates an error, we may also store information about the request for the purpose of diagnosing the potential problem and implementing a solution.

We may use your information to generate a healthcare insurance verification request using our Services, to determine usage of our Services, for compliance with HIPAA, for providing customer support, or for any of the Purposes identified in this section and in Section 4 of this Privacy Policy. Personally identifying information associated with the creation of a verification request will only be available on an as needed basis to SystemsTX or you. Any other data, such as aggregate totals of verification requests or non-personally-identifiable data, may be used by SystemsTX and disclosed to others, but will not identify you or the Individual.

We may automatically collect information about your use of our Services, including information from the electronic device that you use to access and use the Services, such as, device identifiers, MAC address, the type/model of the device, the device service provider and operating system, location information, computer and connection information, Internet Protocol (IP) address, browsing history, and web log information.

When you ask for customer support assistance or customer support assistance is reasonably necessary for your continued use of our Services, we may collect and store contact information that you provide, information about the customer support issue, and your user account information. We may also store any correspondence associated with the customer support assistance.

We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information from third-party sources, such as health insurance clearinghouses, in order to perform or improve the Services.

We collect other information, non-personally identifiable information, from users of our Services. This means that we do not track these items on an individual basis that identifies the users of our Services, but rather gather and collect this information on an aggregate basis that includes all such users. Non-personal information includes tracking web pages associated with our Services that are visited or the amount of time spent using our Services. Our primary goal in collecting aggregate information from you is to be able to perform metrics that allow us to improve the functionality of our Services. We collect aggregate information in order to track page visits and peak usage times for our Services, and to perform click-through analysis and web page layout re-design.

We may use session and persistent “cookies,” session logs, spotlight ads/web beacons/GIF/pixel tags, and third-party click tracking analytics tools to collect information about users of our Services, verify login credentials and track login utilization, and place cookies for targeted advertising purposes. An explanation for each of these items and how they work is included in Section 4 – How We Collect Information.

We operate social media pages on third party networks and have social media icons on our website. When you visit or link to our social media pages, data is processed both by us and the applicable social media provider. Social media providers are unaffiliated with us, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of social media providers. Social media providers have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and we encourage you to review those policies whenever you visit their websites or interact with their platforms.

4. Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies

Information may be collected in connection with certain software and Internet-based tools, which are explained in more detail herein below.

A “cookie” is a small text file that helps us in many ways to make your use of our websites more enjoyable and meaningful to you. For example, cookies avoid you having to log in every time you come back to use our Services. They also allow us to tailor our Services or advertisements to better match your interests and preferences. There are a couple different types of cookies.

A “session” cookie is stored only in your computer’s working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all your browser’s windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever.

A “persistent” cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Persistent cookies stay on your computer until either (a) they expire, (b) they are overwritten with newer cookies, or (c) you manually remove them. Most browsers can be configured not to accept cookies; however, this may prevent you from having access to some of our Services’ functions or features.

A “hash identifier” may be used for the purposes of cross-device tracking for targeted advertising.”

Our Services may use third-party click tracking analytics tools, among them Google Analytics, to capture click-through statistics.

You can deactivate Google Analytics using a browser add-on if you do not wish the analysis to take place. You can download the add-on here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Our Services may use spotlight ads/web beacons/GIF/pixel tags which are instrumentation tools that help us to determine, for instance, whether a page has been viewed or not and, if so, how many times. Emails or electronic newsletters we send may use tools (e.g., pixel tags or web beacons) to gather email metrics and information to improve the reader’s experience, such as how many of the emails are opened, if they were printed or forwarded, the type of device (e.g., mobile or PC) from which they were opened, and the city, state, and county associated with the applicable IP address. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a webpage, including an ad banner, can act as a web beacon.

When you use our Services the server housing the pages may automatically generate a “session log.” We use session logs to help us determine how people travel through our Services. In this way, we can structure our pages so that the information most frequently visited is easier to find. By tracking page visits, we can also determine if the information we’re providing is being used. The data gathered may include the IP address from which you came, the website or software application that referred you, the pages you visited and the date and time of those visits.

Do Not Track Disclosure: We do not respond to Do Not Track browser settings.
