Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION:

CaseWorthy, Inc. (“CaseWorthy”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how CaseWorthy collects and uses your personal information and data. This Privacy Policy applies to all Personal Information that we receive from various sources, as outlined below. By using this website, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our site. Your continued use of the website following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” may include any information that can be used to identify or locate you, such as your name, address, IP address, mailing address, contact information, email address or phone number and other information you may produce to us. Both federal and state law in the United States define Personal Information or Personal Data, as do the laws of Canada, the European Union, and other countries and jurisdictions. This Privacy Policy is intended to include the most expansive definition. However, please recognize that your rights related to Personal Information, and how Personal Information is defined, differ somewhat from state to state and country to country. For example, a California resident likely has different rights than a Utah resident, and each of them likely has different rights than a resident of Canada.

Changes to Privacy Policy. We review this Privacy Policy regularly and may update it from time to time. We will post any changes on this page and may also provide notice of material changes to our Privacy Policy on our website home page or through our online SaaS (software as a service) subscription service. We encourage users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the Personal Information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.

We collect Personal Information when you or your employer or organization register an account with us, when you visit our website, when you use our services or software, participate in a feature of our website that requests or requires your Personal Information, and when you otherwise transact business with or communicate with CaseWorthy.

3^rd party payment processor/e-commerce provider. Your payment card information, such as account numbers, is collected and processed via a third-party vendor that specializes in payment processing and has committed to PCI DSS compliance.

Data received from software/subscription service users. Our customers who license our software/subscription service have employees who are granted administration rights to create user accounts for other employees and designated persons. These customers act as data controllers (“Controllers”) in the use of the software and the collection and processing of Personal Information, including personal health information, in connection with our software. In such cases, our role in processing the Personal Information provided by our customers is as a “Processor,” since we are processing data on behalf of the Controller (who is the customer). As a Processor, we are obligated to process this Personal Information as part of our license agreement entered with the customer. The Personal Information collected in this scenario generally includes the name, physical address and phone number of each assigned user, but may also include information related to employment, such as job title and role, scheduling information assigned to an individual and maintenance tasks performed by an individual. Processing of this Personal Information is performed on behalf of the customer and for the purpose of providing the services requested by the customer.

We obtain marketing data from third parties that we use to reach out to inform potential customers and others of the services offered by our organization.
