This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather, how we may use it, the security approaches we use, and how you can access and request modification of certain information. Please note that this policy applies only to information collected via the Medukul Services – it does not apply to information you disclose to Medukul through other means. This Privacy Policy is incorporated and made part of the Medukul Services Terms of Use.

By accessing, viewing or otherwise using any Medukul Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information by Medukul in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you may not use any Medukul Service.

Medukul reserves the right to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time, without prior notice. Changes take effect on the date that change appears on the revised policy. If you use any Medukul Service following a change, your use will be understood to signal that you accept and agree to be bound by the changes.

We collect personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and other non-individually identifiable information from you when you register on the Medukul Services, respond to communication such as e-mail, or otherwise use the Medukul Services in any manner. To participate in certain features of the Medukul Services, you will be required to provide certain Personal Information. For example, when registering as a user on any Medukul Service, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, birth date, mailing address, location, phone number, credit card information or other Personal Information. You may, however, visit portions of the Medukul Services without providing any Personal Information.

If you choose to upload any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) via the Service, including Protected Health Information (“PHI”) as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and related state data privacy laws, this Privacy Policy covers how Medukul collects, receives, uses, retains, and discloses such PII and PHI on its website (medukul.com) and on its patient-facing mobile application (the “App”). PHI includes information relating to your health, for example medical history, test and laboratory results, insurance information and other data that you upload and share with a healthcare professional, and data that a healthcare professional collects to identify an individual and determine appropriate care. PII and PHI may include other types of information depending on the legal definition that applies in your physical location. Only the definitions of PII and PHI that apply in your location will apply to you under this Privacy Policy.
