Introduction
Pregimmune Management LLC dba Pregmune and/or its subsidiaries (collectively, “Pregmune”, “Company,” “we,” or “us”) owns and operates the websites located at www.pregmune.com (the “Website”) and related applications and services (collectively the “Platform”). Your access and use of the Platform, any part thereof, or anything associated therewith, including its content (“Content”), any products or services provided through the Platform or otherwise by Pregmune, and any affiliated website, software or application owned or operated by Pregmune (collectively, including the Platform and the Content, the “Service”) are subject to this Privacy Policy unless specifically stated otherwise. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning as set forth in the Pregmune Consent and Agreement (“Terms and Conditions”).
We are committed to respecting the privacy of users of the Service. We created this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to tell you how Pregmune collects, uses and discloses information in order to provide you with the Service.
By creating, registering, or logging into an account through the Service, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you are automatically accepting and acknowledging the most recent version of this Privacy Policy. If we make any changes to our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the “Last updated” date of the Privacy Policy.
Our Service is generally intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or such older age as may be required by applicable state laws in the jurisdiction in which an individual utilizes the Service. The Service is not designed or intended to attract, and is not directed to, children under thirteen (13) years of age. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information through the Platform from a person under thirteen (13) years of age, we will use reasonable efforts to refrain from further using such personal information or maintaining it in retrievable form.
This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms and Conditions which can be found at www.pregmune.com/consent. The undefined terms used in the Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions.
By using our website, you consent to this Policy. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy in its entirety from time to time as we may update our Privacy Policy without separate notice. We welcome your comments and feedback on this Policy, and you may email us at privacy@pregmune.com.
Protected Health Information
When you set up an account with Pregmune, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Pregmune that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to Pregmune, including but not limited to, your name, email address, phone number and certain transactional information, that we do not consider to be “protected health information” or “medical information”.
However, in using certain components of the Service, you may also provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. Pregmune is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, ” HIPAA”). One or more of the Labs, Medical Groups (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) may be a “covered entity” under HIPAA, and Pregmune may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Lab or Medical Group. It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Pregmune. To the extent Pregmune is deemed a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, Pregmune, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Pregmune, the Labs, the Medical Group or the Providers (” PHI”). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws.
The Medical Group and Providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Provider(s).
By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are agreeing that even if HIPAA does apply to Pregmune, the Medical Group, the Providers, and the Labs, any information that you submit to Pregmune that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, or laboratory services by the Labs is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. For purposes of clarity, information you provide to Pregmune in order to register and set up an account on the Platform, including name, username, email address, shipping address and phone number, are not considered Protected Information.
