We at MyUTI (“we”, “us”, or “the Company”) value your privacy and are committed to keeping your personal data confidential.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data that MyUTI collects from Users of the MyUTI Platform and the Services (“Personal Data”).

We believe that privacy and transparency about the use of your Personal Data are of utmost importance. Therefore, our privacy practices are intended to comply with all applicable federal and state laws related to privacy and the use and disclosure of medical records.

If there is any data that we are unable to delete entirely from our systems for technical reasons, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further processing of such data. Please note that once we disclose your Personal Data to third parties, we may not be able to access that Personal Data and we cannot force the deletion or modification of such information by third parties.

MyUTI and its Business Partners reserve the right to continue using de-identified data indefinitely, even after Personal Data has been removed from MyUTI’s databases. We may continue to disclose de-identified data to third parties in a manner that does not reveal personal information, as described in this Privacy Policy. Our continued use of de-identified data will comport with applicable law. 

What Happens to Personal Data Submitted by Minors?

MyUTI is committed to protecting the privacy of children. MyUTI services are intended only for adults and young adults 13 years of age and older under adult supervision. We request that individuals under the age of 13 not provide Personal Data to us.

To do any of these, please contact us at support@myuti.com.

You have the right to request restrictions on uses and disclosures of your Personal Data. While we are not required to agree to all restriction requests, we will attempt to accommodate reasonable requests when appropriate. 

You may change your email address and other contact information by accessing your MyUTI User Account. If you need to make changes or corrections to other information, you may contact us at support@myuti.com. To comply with certain requests to limit use of your Personal Data, we may need to terminate your ability to access and/or use some or all of the Services.

MyUTI understands the importance of data confidentiality and security. We use a combination of reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security controls to: (i) maintain the security and integrity of your Personal Data; (ii) protect against any threats or hazards to the security or integrity of your Personal Data; and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information in our possession or control that could result in substantial harm to you.

ACCORDINGLY, WE DO NOT AND CANNOT ENSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OR INTEGRITY OF ANY PERSONAL DATA YOU TRANSMIT TO US. YOU ASSUME THE RISK THAT UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY OR USE, HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE FAILURE, AND OTHER FACTORS MAY COMPROMISE THE SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME.

MyUTI stores Personal Data on secured servers and uses a combination of technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. Such safeguards include, but are not limited to, authentication, encryption, backups, secure socket layer technology (SSL) encryption, and access controls.

How Can Users Protect Their Personal Data? 

You are solely responsible for preventing unauthorized access to your devices and your User Account by protecting your account credentials and limiting access to your devices. MyUTI has no access to or control over your device’s security settings, and it is your responsibility to implement any device-level security features and protections you feel are appropriate (e.g., password protection, encryption, remote wipe capability). We recommend that you take all appropriate steps to secure any device that you use to access our Services and Platform. 

Please note that MyUTI will never send you an email requesting confidential information, such as account numbers, usernames, passwords, or Social Security Numbers. If you receive a suspicious email from MyUTI, please notify us at support@myuti.com. 

Further, if you know of or suspect any unauthorized use or disclosure of your User Account information or any other security concern, please notify MyUTI immediately. 

What If MyUTI Experiences a Data or Security Breach?

MyUTI takes the security of your Personal Data seriously.

ADVERTISING, MARKETING, AND TRACKING

What Is MyUTI’s Cookie Policy?

Cookies are small files that a web server sends to your computer or device when you visit a web application that uses cookies to keep track of your activity on that site. Cookies also exist within applications when a browser is needed to view or display certain content within the application. Cookies hold a small amount of data specific to a web application, which can later be used to help remember information you entered in the application (like your email or username), preferences selected, and movement within the application. We use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, better serve you with more tailored information, and to facilitate efficient and secure access to the Services. 

Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Data. Further, we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with any other Personal Data to identify you. However, we do use cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Services and may associate that information with your User Account (if one exists). 

In addition, MyUTI may also collect information using pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies. This information may be used in connection with website pages and HTML formatted email messages to, among other things, track the actions of users and email recipients and compile statistics about usage and response rates. 

How Can Users Opt Out of Cookies?

If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and reject cookies. If you enable a do not track signal or otherwise configure your browsers to prevent us from collecting cookies, you will need to re-enter your login information each time you visit the login page. You may also be unable to take advantage of some of the Services. 

Do Not Track Disclosure

Some web browsers may transmit do not track (“DNT”) signals to websites with which the User communicates. To date, there is no industry standard for DNT and users cannot know how a given company responds to a DNT signal they receive from browsers. MyUTI is committed to remaining apprised of DNT standards. However, MyUTI does not support DNT browser settings and does not currently participate in any DNT frameworks that would allow MyUTI to respond to signals or other mechanisms regarding the collection of your personal information.
