We encourage you to periodically review this policy for the latest information on our privacy practices.
Security
If you choose to provide us with your personal information, you understand that we are transferring it to Visana Health’s locations and systems in the United States or to the locations and systems of Visana Health’s service providers around the world. Visana Health uses reasonable security measures to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under its control. For example, we use encryption protocols for sensitive information, such as credit card or payment information. Such measures may change from time to time, depending on industry standards and perceived security risks. However, despite such security measures, Visana Health cannot guarantee the security of your information and disclaims liability for loss, misuse, and alteration of your information under its control to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. By using the Service, you agree to assume any security risk related to personal information. You should report any security violations to us by sending an email to contact@visanahealth.com.
The security of your Visana Health 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. 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 using the “Contact” feature of our website. 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 using the “Contact” feature of our website or by contacting us via email.
