Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 1st, 2020
Your privacy is important to DrillDown Solution. This privacy policy (“Policy”) applies to the DrillDown Solution Web sites and services and tells you how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected by DrillDown Solution If you use the DrillDown Solution site and services as part of an entity or organization that has service with DrillDown Solution (like your employer or a university), the individual terms of that organization’s contract for service may restrict our collection or use of your personal information more than what is described in this Policy. This statement includes DrillDown Solution’s European Union and Swiss Safe Harbor Privacy Statements and the Website Privacy Statements.
Changes to This Policy
We may change this Policy from time to time. If we make any changes to this Policy, we will change the “last updated” date above. If there are material changes to this Policy, we will notify you more directly. We encourage you to check this Policy whenever you use our Web sites and services to understand how your personal information is used.
Information Collected
We collect information from you in various ways when you use our Web sites and services. We may also supplement this information with information from other companies. We collect two general types of information, namely personal information and aggregate data. As used in this Policy, the term “personal information” means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name and email address), and demographic and other information when directly linked to information that can identify an individual.
Our definition of personal information does not include “aggregate” data. Aggregate data is information we collect about a group or category of services or users from which individual user identities have been removed. In other words, no personal information is included in aggregate data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends in our users’ needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our services. This Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate data, and we may share aggregate data about our users with third parties for various purposes, including to help us better understand our customer needs and improve our services and for advertising and marketing purposes.
The following are the specific types of information we collect from you.
Information You Give Us. We collect information you give us on our Web site and when you register for and use our services. Examples include the following:

Contact Information. We collect the email addresses you provide for contacts you enter or upload into your private contacts page. When you choose to collaborate or share files with others, we also collect email addresses you provide to email invitations to those individuals on your behalf.

Uses and Disclosures of PHI.
- Healthcare Provider may from time to time disclose PHI in conjunction with Healthcare Provider’s receipt of services under the Agreement. For purposes of this BAA, “Protected Health Information” (PHI) is limited to PHI, as defined in HIPAA, HITECH and their implementing rules, that is accessed, used, processed or disclosed pursuant to the Agreement.
- Neither party will access, use, process or disclose such PHI for any purpose other than as permitted under this BAA and applicable law. Each party may access, use, process and disclose the PHI it receives for the proper management and administration of such party, to perform its obligations under and receive the benefits of the service delivered under the Agreement and to otherwise carry out its legal responsibilities; provided, however, that in all cases such use is permitted under applicable law. Either party may disclose PHI if the disclosure is required by law. Either party may also disclose PHI for the proper management and administration of the business of such party, provided it obtains reasonable assurances from the person to whom the information is disclosed that it will be held confidentially and used or further disclosed only as required by law and for the purpose for which it was disclosed.
- Each party will maintain appropriate safeguards including, but not limited to, administrative, organizational, physical and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the PHI.
- If either party becomes aware of any unauthorized access to or use, processing or disclosure of unsecured PHI, it will so notify the other party. Such notice will contain: (i) the date of discovery of the unauthorized access, use, processing or disclosure; (ii) a listing of the identification of individuals and/or classes of individuals who are subject to the unauthorized access, use, processing or disclosure; and (iii) a general description of the nature of the unauthorized access, use, processing or disclosure. The party responsible for such unauthorized access, use, processing or disclosure will perform an appropriate risk assessment to determine whether the PHI has been compromised. In performing the risk assessment, such party will consider a combination of factors such as: (i) the nature and extent of the PHI affected, (ii) the unauthorized person who impermissibly used the PHI or to whom the PHI was impermissibly disclosed; (iii) whether PHI was acquired or viewed and (iv) the extent to which the risk to the PHI has been mitigated. The results of such risk assessment will be provided to the other party. DrillDown Solution is not responsible for monitoring Healthcare Provider’s own access to or use, processing or disclosure of PHI.
- In the event of an unauthorized access to or use, processing or disclosure of unsecured PHI, the party responsible for such unauthorized access to or use, processing or disclosure of unsecured PHI will use reasonable efforts to mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect arising from such unauthorized access to or use, processing or disclosure of unsecured PHI.
- The parties will cooperate with respect to any required notifications that must be made to the individuals or the media with respect to any unauthorized access to or use, processing or disclosure of unsecured PHI.
- With respect to any subcontractor or agent to whom either party provides PHI, the disclosing party will first contractually obligate such subcontractor or agent to agree to protect such PHI pursuant to terms and conditions at least as protective as the terms of this Business Associate Agreement.
- DrillDown Solution may de-identify any and all PHI that is in its possession or control provided that DrillDown Solution implements de-identification criteria in accord with applicable law. De-identified information does not constitute PHI and is not subject to the terms of this BAA.
Compliance with Law
- Each party is responsible for its own compliance with any and all existing or subsequent laws, whether by statute, regulation, common law, or otherwise, related to its access to or use, processing or disclosure of PHI. Healthcare Provider agrees that it will have and maintain appropriate consents from data subjects, as may be necessary, for DrillDown Solution to access, use, process and disclose PHI in accordance with its delivery of services under the Agreement and as otherwise permitted under this BAA.
- The parties will provide each other only the minimum amount of PHI necessary for us to perform the Service described in the Agreement.
- Upon request by the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), each party will make available to HHS the internal practices, books, and records of such party relating to the use and disclosure of PHI for purposes of ensuring compliance with the provisions of HIPAA and the HITECH Act.
- In the event that DrillDown Solution receives an inquiry from an individual for access to or the right to amend PHI, it will advise Healthcare Provider of that communication and the request. The parties will cooperate in making PHI available to the individual and in making the requested amendment of PHI. The Healthcare Provider will retain and make available on request information required to provide an accounting of disclosures in accordance with the provisions of HIPAA and the HITECH Act.
Termination and Destruction of PHI.
- In the event that either party reasonably determines that the other has accessed, used, processed or disclosed unsecured PHI in a manner inconsistent with a material term of this Agreement, it will provide written notice of such breach to the other party and specify in reasonable detail any such breach. Upon receipt of such written notice, the receiving party will have 30 days to achieve compliance with this BAA or to establish a reasonable schedule for compliance with this BAA. In the event that a party fails or refuses to comply with this obligation, the other party may terminate this BAA upon written notice. If either party reasonably determines that the other party has accessed, used, processed or disclosed PHI in a manner inconsistent with this BAA following written notice of a prior breach, the non-breaching party may immediately terminate the Agreement.
- Within thirty (30) days of termination of this BAA, DrillDown Solution will return to Healthcare Provider, or destroy, the PHI made available to DrillDown Solution by the Healthcare Provide that is in its control and take reasonable steps to ensure that DrillDown Solution has no means of identifying or re-identifying individuals who are the subject of such PHI. DrillDown Solution will also obligate any subcontractor to return to DrillDown Solution, or destroy, any such PHI in the subcontractor’s control.
- In the event that DrillDown Solution is unable to return or destroy the PHI in its control, DrillDown Solution will continue to protect such PHI from further disclosure.
Limitation of Liability.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL DRILLDOWN SOLUTION OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, PROPRIETORS, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, SERVANTS, ATTORNEYS, PREDECESSORS, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS AND DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM INCONVENIENCE, DELAY, OR LOSS OF USE) ARISING OUT OF ITS ACCESS TO OR USE, PROCESSING OR DISCLOSURE OF PHI, EVEN IF IT OR THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
