Protected Health Information
Some of the personal information received or collected on the Site and/or in connection with the Services may be provided to business associates of covered entities that may be subject to laws and regulations, such as rules issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH”), that govern providers’ use and disclosure of certain individually identifiable health-related Personal Information (“Protected Health Information”). When We receive Protected Health Information as a “business associate” of a covered entity (as that term is defined under HIPAA), or as a or “sub-business associate” of a business associate of a covered entity, (as may be applicable depending on the circumstances), We may be subject to certain laws and regulations, including certain HIPAA rules, that govern our use and disclosure of Protected Health Information and that may be more restrictive than otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy and requires Dear Bill to implement certain privacy and security measures to safeguard its confidentiality. Accordingly, when We receive Protected Health Information as a “business associate” or as a “sub-business associate”, We do so pursuant to a “Business Associate Agreement” (or a “Sub-Business Associate Agreement”) that, among other things, prohibits us from using or disclosing the Protected Health Information in ways that are not permissible by the health care providers and/or pharmacies themselves, and requires us to implement certain measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Protected Health Information. Please note though that information that has been deidentified in accordance with HIPAA does not constitute Protected Health Information. For more information about HIPAA-compliant activities, please contact info@dearbill.com.
Information you transmit to and/or through the Site or otherwise in connection with the Services that is not intended and used solely for treatment, payment and healthcare operations (as those terms are defined under HIPAA), is not considered Protected Health Information and will only be subject to this Privacy Policy and other applicable laws that govern the privacy and security of such information, and that HIPAA does not govern such information.

We may use the information We have collected from you to enable us to display relevant content and services. Even though We do not disclose your personal information for these purposes without your consent, if you click on or otherwise interact with an advertisement, the advertiser may assume that you meet its target criteria.
We may aggregate and/or combine the information that We collect about you through the Site with information that We receive from other sources and may use and share such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We may deidentify any information collected through the Site and Services so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device, including, with respect to Protected Health Information.
