Owl Insights Inc. Privacy Notice
Effective Date: November 14, 2022
Protecting your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Notice is meant to help you understand how we collect, use and share your personal information and to assist you in exercising the privacy rights available to you.
SCOPE
Mental Health Data Services, Inc. (“Owl”, “Owl Health”, “us, “we”, or “our”) operates https://owl.health (the “Site”). This Privacy Notice applies to personal information processed by us in our business, including on the Site and other online or offline offerings (collectively, the “Services”).
Our Customers are Health Care Providers who use the Services to provide behavioral health services to their patients.
This Privacy Notice does not apply to your Protected Health Information (“PHI”), such as information about your past, present, or future physical or mental health, that we receive from your Health Care Providers. PHI is handled differently, and you may have additional rights regarding such information, pursuant to the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”), and other applicable laws.
Accordingly, if you are a patient of a Health Care Provider who is our Customer, your PHI (which we call “Customer Data”) is governed by your Health Care Provider’s terms of service and privacy practices. Our processing of Customer Data is governed by the contracts that we have in place with our Customers, not this Privacy Notice. Any questions or requests relating to Customer Data should be directed to your Health Care Provider. We will provide assistance to our Customers to address any concerns you may have, in accordance with the terms of our contracts with them.
This Privacy Notice also does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services. Also, please note that, unless we define a term differently in this Privacy Notice, all capitalized terms used in this Privacy Notice have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions. So, please make sure that you have read, understand and agree to our Terms and Conditions.
This Privacy Notice applies to our operating divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliates, including any additional subsidiary, or affiliate that we may subsequently form.
