Privacy | Rappore

Last Revised on May 16, 2020.

Welcome to the Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) provided by Veteran Advisers, Inc. and INPRESENT Psychiatry, P.C. (collectively, “Rappore,” “we", “our” or “us").

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose information (“Information”) about you related to your use of and access to sites, content, applications, services, tools and features, provided by us, including without limitation, the website https://rappore.com and the related mobile application (collectively, the “Services”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Individually identifiable health information that you provide to us or we create, receive, maintain or transmit for purposes of providing telehealth services to you (i.e., “Protected Health Information” or “PHI”) will also be subject to our Notice of Privacy Practices (the “HIPAA Notice”), available at https://rappore.com/notice-of-privacy-policy. The HIPAA Notice describes how we can use and share your PHI and also describes your rights with respect to your PHI. To the extent that there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the HIPAA Notice with respect to PHI, the HIPAA Notice will prevail.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services.

If Non-Personal Information is directly or indirectly associated with Personal Information, this Non-Personal Information is then treated as Personal Information.
