4.0 How We Share Personal Information

Our Application and Services

If you are an end user of our application, your personal information may be viewed by other users with access to the application.

Service Providers

We use third parties to help us provide our services such as Zendesk (software that helps us utilize our support process) and Twilio (a text-based application that allows clients to send text message from the application), for example. They will have access to your information as collected by the website or the application, as reasonably necessary to perform the contracted tasks on our behalf. We sign contractual agreements to obligate them to protect the personal information, only use it to deliver the contracted services to us, prohibit them from selling it and not disclose it without our knowledge and permission.

Legal Disclosures

It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, subpoena or other legal processes as identified in the applicable legislation. We attempt to notify our clients about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency.

Change in Control

We can also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger, change in control or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.

5.0 How We Secure Personal Information

We are committed to protecting the security of all of the personal information we collect and use. We use a variety of physical, administrative and technical safeguards designed to help protect it from unauthorized access, use and disclosure. We have implemented best-practice standards and controls in compliance with internationally recognized security frameworks. We use encryption technologies to protect data at rest and in transit.

We maintain a secure process to collect, transmit and store your personally identifiable information. Depending on the type of information you log into (private), we may use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect it.

If you are a client of ours, we urge you to keep your password in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to sign off your session and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This ensures that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place such as a library or Internet café.

6.0 Unsubscribing or Changing/Updating Your Information

Promotional e-mails: We may e-mail you messages that we think may be of interest to you about our products and services. You can choose not to receive additional types of messages in the future by either (1) following the ‘unsubscribe’ instructions located near the bottom of each e-mail.

If you have a question about your personal data or would like to correct, amend, or delete your information where it is inaccurate, or would like to alert us that your information has been processed in violation of the Principles, please contact 678-965-6849 and we can take care of your request as soon as possible.

For personal information we have about you, you can:

Request a copy.

Upon request, we can delete your inquiry-based information from our systems. Outside of a request, we typically keep inquiry-based information, such as information shared on a form when making a request for a software demonstration – for 3 years (if no communication has been received by GVT). For those inquiries that are subscribers to certain marketing lists, those accounts remain open until cancelled by the consumer or visitor. If you are a customer of Global Vision Technologies (you have purchased goods or services) and your account is closed, you stop using our services and cancel your contract – we have a “customer exit” process that we follow as it relates to private data shared in your FAMCare or ClinicalPURSUIT system.
