Privacy Policy

orthobrain’s policies play an important role in maintaining a positive experience for our users.  You are required to follow these policies and comply with orthobrain’s requests as set forth below.  We depend heavily upon users to let us know about content that may violate our policies.  After we are notified of a potential policy violation, we may review the content and take action, including restricting access to the content, removing the content, and limiting or terminating a user’s access to orthobrain products and services. 

I.  LIMITATIONS ON USE OF ORTHOBRAIN’S COMMUNICATION PLATFORM

Because of the limited resources and storage capacity of orthobrain’s communication platform, orthobrain strictly limits the use of its communication platform to providing clarity about various reports that are generated when using orthobrain’s services.  By using orthobrain’s communication platform, you agree to limit your communications accordingly.

II.  LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, CONTACT INFORMATION, AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

orthobrain monitors its communication platform to ensure quality and timeliness of responses.  This is because understanding the nature of the interactions on orthobrain’s communication platform allows orthobrain to make improvements that minimize the need for messaging in the future.  Additionally, because your email address and/or telephone number identifies your account, sharing your email address or telephone number may compromise the security of your patient information and orthobrain’s platform.  For these reasons, orthobrain prohibits you from distributing or exchanging personal information with others using orthobrain’s platform.  Because the exchange or disclosure of personal information may also lead to unwanted, unmanageable, or unsecure communications outside of orthobrain’s platform (e.g., numerous telephone calls, unsecure non-HIPAA compliant email messages, lost attachments, etc.), orthobrain prohibits you from providing personal contact information to others using orthobrain’s platform.  Distribution of other people’s personal and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, identification numbers of any sort, or account passwords without their permission using orthobrain’s communication platform is prohibited.

III.  ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES

Please do not use our Services to engage in illegal activities or to promote activities that are dangerous and illegal.  To report content that you believe should be removed, please email notice@yourorthobrain.com.

IV.  MALICIOUS PRACTICES, DECEPTIVE PRACTICES, AND UNSOLICITED OFFERS

Please do not transmit viruses, malware, or any other malicious or destructive code.  Please do not distribute content that harms or interferes with the operation of the networks, servers, or other infrastructure of orthobrain or others.  Please do not use orthobrain for scams or unsolicited offers.  Please do not spam, including by sending unwanted promotional or commercial content, or unwanted or mass solicitation.

V.  HARASSMENT, BULLYING, AND THREATS

We understand that, sometimes, you may not be completely satisfied with the products or services that are offered through orthobrain.  However, we do not believe that this justifies or excuses harassing, bullying, or threatening behavior.  We are a community of professionals and we expect professional and courteous behavior from our users and participants.  As such, please do not engage in harassing, bullying, or threatening behavior and please do not incite others to engage in such activities.  Harassment, bullying, or threatening behavior may result in a permanent ban from orthobrain.  In emergency situations, orthobrain may escalate imminent threats of serious harm to law enforcement.  Please keep in mind that online harassment is also illegal in many places and can have serious offline consequences for both the harasser and the victim.

VI.  IMPERSONATION AND ACCOUNT HIJACKING

Please do not use the orthobrain platform to mislead or confuse users by pretending to be someone else or pretending to represent an organization you do not represent.  We understand that, sometimes, one individual in a professional organization may act on another individual’s behalf.  Unless expressly permitted to act on another’s behalf, please refrain from representing to others that you are somebody else.  At bottom, please do not access another’s account without their permission.

VII.  OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please note that you are still bound by both: (a) AGREEMENT FOR USE OF ORTHOBRAIN WEBSITE (found at https://yourorthobrain.com/terms-and-conditions/); and (b) INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS (found at https://yourorthobrain.com/doctor-agreement/).
