(“Mezzion”) is committed to the fair and transparent processing of the personal information (“Personal Information”) of our customers, consumers and website visitors, and strives to ensure that you have the greatest possible control over this information. This Privacy Policy explains the types of personal information that we collect, and how we use and share the information provided.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

This Privacy Policy describes how Mezzion collects, uses, and shares the Personal Information of Mezzion individual or enterprise-level clients and visitors to the Mezzion™ website, www.mezzion.com. Personal Information is any information that can be used to identify, locate or contact you. It also includes other information that may be associated with your Personal Information, such as your preferences or interests.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information You Provide

Mezzion may at www.mezzion.com collect Personal Information directly from you when you visit the Mezzion™ website (the “website” or “site”), and only when you consent for Mezzion to do so. This may be through Mezzion’s web forms or registrations, applications or surveys, and in connection with your inquiries and purchases you make. Mezzion may also collect your Personal Information when you sign up to receive material about Mezzion products and services. For example, you may choose to provide your name, contact information, health, insurance and/or financial information in connection with a promotion or a patient assistance or support program. In addition, Mezzion clients who are healthcare providers may choose to provide us with Personal Information relating to their specialties and professional affiliations.

If you submit any Personal Information to Mezzion relating to other people, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit Mezzion to use the information in accordance with Mezzion’s Privacy Policy.

Information about Children

The Mezzion™ website is not directed to children under 18 years of age, and Mezzion does not otherwise knowingly solicit or collect Personal Information from, or market to, children. If you are under 18 years of age, do not attempt to register for or use any service provided by Mezzion, and do not provide Mezzion any Personal Information about yourself.

In some instances, Mezzion may collect Personal Information about children with the consent of his/her parent or guardian (e.g., for the provision of Mezzion™ services, such as clinical activities or for patient support programs).

If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided Mezzion with Personal Information, he or she should contact us as described in the “How to Contact Mezzion” section below. Mezzion will take reasonable steps to delete such information from Mezzion’s database in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

For EU visitors to the Mezzion™ website, Mezzion will ask that specific parental consent be provided prior to submitting any Personal Information from children under the age of 16. For U.S. visitors to the Mezzion™ website, Mezzion will ask for verifiable parental consent prior to submitting any Personal Information from children under the age of 13. 

Cookies and Other Technologies

Mezzion may gather information about you automatically through your use of the Mezzion™ website, e.g., your IP address and how you navigate the site. When you visit the Mezzion™ website, Mezzion may collect information by automated means, including technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web beacons. This information is not personally-identifiable. Mezzion may use this information to better understand, customize and improve user experience with the Mezzion™ website, Mezzion’s services and Mezzion’s offerings, as well as to manage Mezzion’s advertising.

  • Cookies

When you visit the Mezzion™ website, we place cookies on your computer. For more information about Mezzion’s Cookies Policy, see Mezzion’s Cookie Policy under the Terms of Use tab on this Mezzion™ website. 

Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings in your browser. Cookies allow Mezzion to recognize you when you return. They also help Mezzion to provide a customized experience and enable Mezzion to detect certain kinds of fraud.

In many cases, you can manage cookie preferences and opt-out of having cookies and other data collection technologies used by adjusting the settings on your browser. All browsers are different, so visit the “Help” section of your browser to learn about cookie preferences, about how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies, and about other privacy settings that may be available. Your web browser may also be set to allow you to be notified each time a cookie is sent to your browser. Note that if your browser is set to reject cookies, websites that are cookie-enabled will not recognize you when you return to the website, and some website functionality may be lost. See also Mezzion’s Cookie Policy in the Terms of Use.

  • Pixel Tags

Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on website pages or in Mezzion emails that allow Mezzion to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action. These tools allow Mezzion to measure response to our communications and improve our web pages and promotions.

  • Other Technologies

Mezzion collects many different types of information from cookies and other technologies. For example, Mezzion may collect information about the device you use to access the Mezzion™ website, your operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. Mezzion’s server logs also record the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. An IP address is a unique identifier that devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet. Mezzion may also collect information about the website you were visiting before you came to www.mezzion.com, and the website you visit after you leave the Mezzion™ website.

In many cases, the information Mezzion collects using cookies and other tools is only used in a non-identifiable way, without any reference to your Personal Information. For example, Mezzion uses information that we collect about all website users to optimize the Mezzion™ website and to understand website traffic patterns. Mezzion may aggregate and/or de-identify the data about visitors to the Mezzion™ website and use it for product and service development and to improve the quality of Mezzion’s products and services. If Mezzion does associate the information we collect using cookies and other technology with your Personal Information, then it will become “Personal Information” and will be protected as described above.

  • Other Sources

From time to time, Mezzion may use or augment the Personal Information Mezzion may have about you with information obtained from other sources, such as public databases, social media platforms and other third parties. For example, Mezzion may use such third party information to confirm contact or financial information, to verify licensure of healthcare professionals or to better understand your interests by associating demographic information with the information you have provided.

  • to have access upon simple request, and free of charge, the categories and names of addresses of third parties that have received Personal Information for direct marketing purposes;

  • to obtain a rectification of your Personal Information should it be inaccurate, incomplete or obsolete;

  • to obtain the deletion of your Personal Information in the situations set forth by applicable data protection law (the ‘right to be forgotten’);

  • to withdraw your consent to the data processing without affecting the lawfulness of processing, where your Personal Information has been collected and processed on the basis of your consent;

  • to object to the processing of your Personal Information (where it has been collected and processed on the basis of legitimate interests of Mezzion) in which case we may ask you to justify your request by explaining to us your particular situation;

  • to request a limitation of the data processing in the situations set forth by applicable law; and

  • to have your Personal Information directly transferred by Mezzion to a third-party processor of your choice (where technically feasible and when processing is based on your consent).
