1.Vimhans telemedicine handles security
VIMHANS follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information
submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. These measures are in place to
protect the security of your Personal Information and to ensure that your choices for its intended
use are honoured. We take strong precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized
access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
When you place orders or access your personal account information, you’re utilizing secure server
software SSL, which encrypts your personal information before it’s sent over the Internet. SSL is
one
of the safest encryption technologies available.
Sharing your personally identifiable information enables us to offer you a number of
benefits. It will
make it easier and more convenient for you to:
- Request information specific to your interests
- Purchase and subscribe to the VIMHANS service online
- Receive personalized messages and special offers that are relevant to your interests
- Save time by storing your preferences
We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or
destruction. Your Personal Information is not shared outside the company without your permission.
Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. Your Personal
Information may be stored and processed in different sites or locations where VIMHANS or its
subsidiaries are located.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information. Other than VIMHANS personnel that
provide you with our services, no one can see or edit your personal information without knowing
your user name and password, so do not share these with others.
As described in the VIMHANS Service Agreement and Terms of Use, we will use your medical
information in order to enable us to provide you the VIMHANS services you subscribe for. For
example, your medical information may be used by the healthcare professional at our Medical Call
centre that will monitor you when you call us; or in order to assist you in facilitating emergency
response to your medical conditions.
