  • Privacy Policy
    Introduction
    This website (together with any successor site(s), computer systems, cloud-based platforms, software, and mobile or desktop-based platforms, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Services”) are operated by TAO Connect, Inc. (hereinafter, “TAO Connect,” “we,” “our”).
    We take privacy seriously and take reasonable and compliant measures to protect the privacy and confidentiality of information that we may have access to while providing Services to our end users. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you better understand how we may use, store, collect, and disclose information we may access or collect in the course of your use of the Services, or from any health plan, health care provider, or healthcare clearinghouse that must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Document Act (PIPEDA), or any other similar applicable law or regulation associated with the Services (both referred to as a “Covered Entity”).
    Your use of the Services is conditioned on your agreement with all the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time, constitutes the entire agreement between us and you with respect to how we may collect and use your personal information and protected health information (“Personal Information”). If we make changes in the way we collect, use, or disclose personal information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on the Site, sending you an email, or both. You agree you are bound by any changes to our Policy when you use the Services after such changes have been first posted. It is your choice as to whether to use the Services and provide Personal Information to us, or to a Covered Entity that utilizes the Services, and you should not provide any such information if you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. By using our Services, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. All Services we provide are compliant with applicable law regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information. Nothing below replaces or circumvents lawful restrictions on collection, use, or disclosure of Protected Health Information as outlined under HIPAA or PIPEDA. This Privacy Policy is written in the English language. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any translated versions of this Privacy Policy. To the extent any translated versions of this Privacy Policy conflict with the English language version, the English language version of this Privacy Policy shall control.

    Transfer of Your Personal Information

    Your information, including Personal Information, is processed at the TAO Connect’s operating offices in the United States or Canada and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. Although we will primarily store and process your data within the United States or Canada, this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction.
    As a result, your personal information may be subject to data protection and other laws that may differ from your country of residence. Your personal information may be disclosed in response to inquiries or requests from government authorities or to respond to judicial process in the countries in which we operate. By using the Service, or by providing us with any information, you consent to the collection, processing, maintenance, and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other applicable territories in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as, or equivalent to, those in the country where you reside or are a citizen.
    The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of Your Personal Information will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of Your data and other personal information.
    Safeguards and Security
    The security of Your Personal Information is important to us.
    We use appropriate safeguards and follow reasonable commercial standards to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of Personal Information. We have implemented administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data that we may receive or transmit. Please be advised, however, that while we take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, such measures cannot be guaranteed to be secure. TAO Connect cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your personal information.
    In the event of a data breach, TAO Connect will report such breach pursuant to applicable laws.
    You are solely responsible for the privacy and security of any information that you may upload through our Services. The security of your account relies on your protection of your user profile information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your user profile information, including your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You may not share your password with anyone. We will never ask you to send your password or other sensitive information to us in an email, though we may ask you to enter this type of information to access your account. Any email or other communication purporting to be from one of our websites requesting your password or asking you to provide sensitive account information via email, should be treated as unauthorized and suspicious and should be reported to us immediately by email. If you believe someone else has obtained access to your password, please change it immediately by logging in to your account and report it immediately by emailing us at privacy@taoconnect.org.

      • Replacement. Should the Software as delivered by Licensor become or, in Licensor’s opinion, be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, Licensor may, at its option and expense either (a) procure for Licensee the right to continue to use the Software as contemplated hereunder, or (b) replace or modify the Software or modify its use to make its use hereunder noninfringing, without loss of material functionality. If neither option is reasonablyavailable to Licensor, then this Agreement may be terminated at the
        option of either party hereto without further obligation or liability.

        and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect
        to the subject matter of this Agreement, all of which are merged in this Agreement. In
