Prior to sharing of your Personal Information or PHI with others, agreements are made between VVD and such
outside parties to whom we are transferring data to provide for the allowable use and security of the transferred
information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. If VVD becomes aware that any such
outside party is improperly using or disclosing Personal Information, it will notify that outside party and request
that it take reasonable steps to cease such use or disclosure.
We may also disclose your Personal Information or PHI to insurance companies (“Service Providers”) when
you submit information relating to those Service Providers. If you properly notify us that you no longer want us
to share your Personal Information or PHI, we will cease sharing your Personal Information or PHI. However,
except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not directly control the third parties to which we share
such Personal Information or PHI and you will need to further notify such third parties directly if you would like
them to cease use of your Personal Information or PHI.
We may also disclose aggregate visitor data in order to describe the use of the Site and Services to our
existing or potential business partners or other third parties, or in response to a government request. We may
also share aggregated demographic and preference data with third parties to enable the provision of targeted
information, promotions, offers and/or discounts on products and services. The aggregated data of Personal
Information and PHI will be anonymized prior to disclosure.
Data Security, Integrity, and Access
The Personal Information and PHI you provide and we collect are stored within databases that we control
directly or through our service providers. As we deem appropriate and as required by the applicable law, we
use security measures appropriate for the sensitivity of the Personal Information and PHI and consistent with
industry standards, including physical, organizational and technological protections, such as firewalls, to
protect your Personal Information and PHI. We also use industry standard encryption technology to protect
credit card and password information. However, since no security system is impenetrable, we cannot
guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be
intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
Personal Information and PHI may only be accessed by persons within our VVD organization including your
selected physician who has agreed to VVD’s Listing Agreement, our third party service providers who require
such access to provide you with the services indicated above, or any other party that you have provided us
with authorization to share such information with.
We retain Personal Information and PHI that we collect as long as we believe it reasonably necessary or
desirable within the VVD business.
Your Personal Information and PHI may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of
your state, province/territory, or country where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those where you
live. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please be aware that
we transfer Personal Information and PHI to the United States and process and store it there. As a result, this
information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, law enforcement officials and
national security authorities in the United States according to its laws. Subject to the applicable laws, we will
use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate protections are in place to maintain protections on the
Personal Information and PHI. By submitting your Personal Information and PHI, you consent to having your
data transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States.
VVD may in the future assign you a user ID and a password as part of your participation and access to the Site

may not share your user ID and password with anyone else, and you are solely responsible for maintaining
and protecting the confidentiality of your user ID and password. You are fully responsible for all activities that
occur under your user ID and password. If and when user IDs and passwords are implemented, you may
access and update your login information.

you have authorized us to do so, they may be able to link certain non-personally identifiable information we
transfer to them with Personal Information or PHI they previously collected from you. Please review the privacy
policies of each website you visit to better understand their privacy practices. In addition, VVD would like to
inform you that anytime you click on links (including advertising banners), which take you to third party
websites, you will be subject to the third parties' privacy policies. While we support the protection of our
customer's privacy on the Internet, VVD expressly disclaims any and all liability for the actions of third parties,
including but without limitation to actions relating to the use and/or disclosure of Personal Information by third
