MyMedTell – Privacy Policy

MyMedTell.com (“MedTell”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) takes users’ data security and privacy seriously. As a result, we’ve developed an extensive privacy policy outlining why and how we process your personal data and information. Our privacy policy will also outline why data collection and storage are necessary for administering our services.

What Information Do We Collect and Why?

It’s important to note that we may need to collect your information to provide you with the best possible care as described in our Privacy Policy. MyMedTell.com focuses on being transparent with our users. As a result, we have created this extensive policy to help users understand how their information is collected, used, and stored.

Users agree to let MyMedTell.com and its affiliates process their IP address to determine their location when using our website. This procedure is important because it allows us to ensure compliance with local US state laws and healthcare delivery methods. We use a temporary cookie to obtain this information, which is automatically removed once you close your browser.

We also collect your information when you contact our customer support because access to your personal data allows us to help solve your problems.

Your information may also be collected when accessing our applications.

Your personal data is communicated to the applications when you download, install, and use our web or downloadable applications.

We have a multi-faceted approach to collecting your personal information, medical data, and health history. The collected information allows doctors, physicians, and nurse practitioners to understand your medical condition. It’s then used for diagnosing and treating your condition and providing appropriate medical recommendations.

When is Your Information Collected?

Your information is generally collected when accessing our website or applications. However, we also collect personal, medical, and health information when you have a telemedicine consultation with us.

A telemedicine visit may require personal permissions, like getting SMS information and phone status. However, please note we only access such information after your permission and under your allowance. The primary purpose is to display data on the smartwatch and terminate the phone service through the watch. We don’t have any malicious intent and don’t violate our user data policy. We follow the guidelines for personal information protection and privacy rights.

How Does MedTell Use Your Personal Data?

We may also contact you to inform you of new services, products, and products. We also conduct market research if we have your explicit consent or if it’s allowed. We collect your personal data to personalize our offerings and provide more relevant services. It also helps us make personalized prescription recommendations.

Do We Share Your Personal Information?

Please note that MyMedTell.com doesn’t sell, lease, rent, or disclose your personal data to third parties. We’re devoted to protecting our users’ privacy and personal data. As a result, we refrain from sharing it with outside sources. We believe data can serve the collective interest when de-identified.
