CounSol respects your privacy, and we will protect any information you give to us. We have developed this privacy policy to explain our practices, and this policy is incorporated into, and subject to, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) discloses the policies and practices of Counsol LLC (“CounSol”) with respect to maintaining the privacy of organizational and personal information collected and stored by CounSol in relation to individuals who have:
This Policy applies to all web sites operated by CounSol for
the purpose of the provision of information about its products,
solutions and services or general information pertaining to our
compliance on HIPAA and HITECH regulations, compliance, enforcement and
best practices.
Counsol LLC recognizes that the protection of the privacy of personal and organizational data and information received and stored by it is important. As a company that provides services and solutions to assist healthcare professionals and Covered Entity organizations with their healthcare practice and compliance with HIPAA and HITECH security and privacy regulations, CounSol is especially cognizant of its duty to safeguard such information against inappropriate use and disclosure, and to the rights of individuals and organizations to maintain control over their organizational and personal data while accessing CounSol’s resources. Due to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, users must be at least thirteen (13) years of age to use the services and we ask that minors (under the age of 18) do not submit any personal information to CounSol or use the services. CounSol will not knowingly collect information from users in this age group.
This Policy sets out the following:
CounSol collects and stores some or all of the following information about individuals:
Organization name, address, and phone number of the organization’s primary location and details of any additional locations provided to CounSol
Names, job titles, email addresses, and other contact details of
individuals provided to CounSol by those individuals
All individuals for whom CounSol has collected or stored such
Information may provide updates or request that CounSol delete such
Information at any time by emailing CounSol at
sales@CounSol.com and providing adequate identifying details for
CounSol to search and find such Information.
Generally-speaking, CounSol uses the Information to respond to requests and inquiries made to it; to communicate with correspondents about products, services, and information that may be of interest; and to conduct market research. All Information is considered to be confidential and CounSol shall protect the confidentiality of such Information. It is CounSol’s policy to not disclose Information to or share Information with third parties for any reason except as may be required by law.
CounSol may also de-identify the Information and aggregate it with other de-identified data anonymously and in aggregate and combined with other individuals’ anonymous data to improve CounSol’s offerings and to further evaluate the HIPAA and HITECH compliance market outlook, provided that such use will not, under any conditions, reveal the identity of the individual or the organization.
With respect in particular to email addresses, CounSol may contact individuals directly for such purposes as: a) to inquire as to such individuals’ satisfaction with their interaction with CounSol, its web sites and/or its solutions and services, and b) to provide newsletters and/or information about other products and services from CounSol that may be of interest. Upon receipt of written notice from any such individual, that he/she is no longer interested in receiving such contact or information, CounSol shall cease such contact with that individual within 30 days.
CounSol’s web sites may contain links to external web sites owned and maintained by third parties. When individuals click on one of these links, he/she is opening a session to another web site. While such external web sites are vetted and believed by CounSol to follow appropriate information security and privacy policies, CounSol does not accept liability or responsibility for any web site to which CounSol may link, and CounSol encourages individuals to read the privacy statements of such linked sites, as their privacy policies may differ.
CounSol uses software tags known as “cookies” within certain functions of its web sites to remember its visitors’ preferences and to maximize the performance of the site and the individual’s experience. Access to certain functionality may not be available to individuals that do not give their consent to the data processing carried out through cookies or whose browsers are set to reject all cookies.
All Information is stored and maintained in secure facilities that limit access to authorized personnel only. As part of CounSol’s continuous risk management process, its web sites are regularly tested to assess vulnerabilities and controls, remediate deficiencies, and to ensure that all Information is secure from unauthorized access or modification. Information is protected in transit via HTTPS and SSL security. Data is backed up routinely at an off-site remote location consistent with CounSol’s business continuity plan. While CounSol will exert all commercially reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Information, CounSol cannot guarantee that such efforts will prevent an unauthorized breach of the Information.
CounSol may post an individual’s feedback on its web sites or in material promoting or describing CounSol and its solutions and services. Prior to publishing any such feedback that includes individual or organizational identifying details, CounSol will obtain written consent from the individual and organization.
CounSol will retain the Information for as long as an individual has not requested that his/her Information be deleted from CounSol’s database. CounSol shall securely erase Information from any equipment it retires or transfers.
CounSol’s exercise of this Policy with respect to the Information is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in this Policy is in conflict with CounSol’s right to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to the Information. In the event of a third party request for the Information, to the extent permitted by law CounSol will provide the individual or organization with prompt notice of such request so that the individual or organization may take such actions it may deem appropriate to protect the confidentiality of such Information and/or oppose the request.
CounSol may update this Policy at any time by providing notice of such update on its web site.
