Harmony United Psychiatric Care (together with Harmony United Healthcare LLC and its affiliates, “HUPCFL”) provides comprehensive outpatient mental health and psychiatry services in Florida through in-person visits and virtually through our online services.

This Website and Mobile Application Privacy Policy describes how HUPCFL collects, uses, or discloses personal information we receive through our website and related online services that we provide (as used herein, the “Services”). This policy also describes your choices about the collection and use of your information.

NOTE TO PATIENTS: This policy does not govern how we handle information you provide to us while being treated as a patient of our facilities and other Protected Health Information (“PHI”) as defined under the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act and related federal and state laws and regulations (collectively referred to as “HIPAA”). ALL PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION IS GOVERNED BY OUR NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES. Please see that notice for information on how we handle PHI and your rights in regard to your PHI.

Please read this Website and Mobile Application Privacy Policy carefully before you start to use our Services. By using the Services, you agree to be bound and abide by our posted Terms of Use (“Terms”) and this Website and Mobile Application Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to both our Terms and Website and Mobile Application Privacy Policy, or if you violate them in any way, your right to access or use the Services is terminated. Please see Sections 9-11 of our Terms regarding your legal rights in any dispute involving our Services.

1. How We Collect Information

We may collect information about you by various means, including through our Services, directly from you in-person or when you contact us, and from your other providers or third parties.

2. Types of Information We Collect

In order to better provide you with our Services, we may collect the following categories of information:

Contact information, such as your name, e-mail, phone number and mailing address;
Survey information in response to questions we may send you through the Services, such as for research or feedback purposes;
Communications between you and us, such as via e-mail, mail, phone or other channels when you contact our support team;
Online User Activity described in the next section.

As noted above, any Protected Health Information (PHI) we collect is handled separately, subject to our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

If you provide us with information regarding another individual, you represent that you have that person’s authorization and consent to give us his or her information and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this policy.

3. Online User Activity, Cookies and Information Collected by Other Automated Means

Cookies are a commonly-used web technology that allow websites or mobile apps to store and retrieve certain information on a user’s system, and track users’ online activities. We and our service providers may collect information about your use of our Services by such automated means, including but not limited to cookies, pixels and other similar technologies. These tools can help us automatically identify you when you return to our Services. Cookies help us review traffic patterns, improve our Services, and determine what Services are popular.

When you use the Services, the information we may collect by automated means includes, for example:

Usage Details about your interaction with our Services (such as the date and time of use, pages visited, features used);
Device Information including the IP address and other details of a device that you use to connect with our Services (such as device type, model and operating system information); and
Location information where you choose to provide the website or app with access to information about your device’s location.

If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow the visitor to reject cookies, but if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features our Services provide. There is no consensus on web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, but we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time because we do not collect information about users’ online activities across third-party websites.

5. How We Share Your Information

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances.

We may share your information as permitted by law, including, for example, with service providers that we believe need the information to perform a technology, business, or other professional function for us (examples include IT services, maintenance and hosting of our Services, and other vendors). We only provide such vendors with information so they can perform their required functions on our behalf.
We also may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii)when we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent harm or financial loss, (iii) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity; or (iv) under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our staff, users or the public.
We reserve the right to transfer the information we maintain in the event we sell or transfer all or apportion of our organization or assets. If we engage in such a sale or transfer, we will make reasonable efforts to direct the recipient to use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with this Website and Mobile Application Privacy Policy.

Where appropriate, we will limit sharing of your information in accordance with the choices you have provided us and applicable law.
