We primarily use this data as necessary to create, maintain, and provide Client Users with information about their account. We may also use Contact Data to correspond with Users or Client Users with informational messages regarding the Service, or in connection with other requests from those Users/Client Users.


Use of the Platform


We generally process Identity Data, Contact Data, Commercial Data, User Content and Device/Network Data when Users or Client Users access and use our Platform. We use this data as necessary to authenticate Users, deliver messages and notifications to Users or Client Users, and as otherwise necessary to provide our Service, operate the Platform, and carry out the processes and transactions the User, Client or, Client Users request. We may also collect and associate Personal Data with additional data relating to the volume and nature of Client Users’ use of our Service and process this data as necessary to determine billing or usage levels.


User Submissions & Quoting


When Users submit images and patient information to a Client for a quote for treatment services, or where a Client User interacts with a User’s file or record they receive, we generally process Identity Data, Health/Image Data, Contact Data, Device/Network Data, User Content, and Inference Data and we may share that data with the Client.

Note, certain additional information may be added to a submission you make to a prospective provider by its Authorized Users. This information may not be reflected in your User profile.


How we Process Personal Data: Corporate Site


When you use the Corporate Site, we generally process your Personal Data in connection with the following activities and purposes, as well as for the business purposes of processing described below.

You may contact us through our Corporate Site, or sign up for certain communications from us. In each case, we generally collect Contact Data, and any Identity Data or User Content that you provide in the registration form. This information is primarily used to respond to your request, but where you consent, or if relevant to your request and permitted by law, we may send you marketing communications as described further below.


Cookies and Similar Technologies


When you use our Service, you may interact with cookies and similar technologies that we operate on or allow access to our Service. We, and certain third parties, may automatically collect and process Device/Network Data and Inference Data when you interact with these cookies and similar technologies. In cases where these cookies and similar technologies are controlled by third parties, we may receive this data from third parties to the extent allowed by the applicable service provider or partner.

These technologies and the data they collect, may be used by advertisers to deliver ads that are more relevant to you based on content you have viewed, including content on our Corporate Site. These tracking technologies may also help prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, and help us understand whether you have interacted with or viewed ads we’ve delivered to you. This collection and ad targeting may take place both on our Corporate Site, as well as on third-party websites that participate in the ad network (e.g. any advertisements delivered by that ad network on a third-party website).
