Emergency Response Information Network (ERIN) Privacy Policy
The ERIN Privacy Policy describes how ERIN treats personal information when you use ERIN's products, including information provided when you use ERIN. In addition, the following describes our privacy practices that are specific to ERIN, a service that helps you store and organize your personal health information.
You are in control of your information
1. You control who can access your personal health information. By default, you are the only user who can view and edit your information. If you choose to, you can share your information with others.
2. ERIN will not sell, rent, or share your information (identified or de-identified) without your explicit consent, except in the limited situations described in the ERIN Privacy Policy, such as when ERIN believes it is required to do so by law.
3. You can completely delete your information at any time. Such deletions will take immediate effect in your account, and backup copies of deleted information may persist for a short time. Since deleted data will not be restored, you may want to print information before deleting it.
How ERIN uses your information
1. To store your information in ERIN, you will need a ERIN Account. When you create a ERIN Account, ERIN asks for your email address and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorized access. You can use an existing ERIN Account or create a new ERIN Account specifically for this purpose.
2. ERIN's servers automatically record log information about your use of ERIN (such as number of sign-ins and number of times a link was clicked). This information is temporarily stored in association with your ERIN Account for two weeks, at which point it is aggregated with other data and is no longer associated with your account. The log information will be used to operate and improve the service and will not be correlated with your use of other ERIN services.
3. ERIN will use aggregate data to publish trend statistics and associations. None of this data can be used to personally identify an individual.
4. Certain features of ERIN can be used in conjunction with other ERIN products, and those features may share information to provide a better user experience and to improve the quality of our services. For example, ERIN can help you save your doctors' contact information into your ERIN Contact List.
Sharing your information with people and services you trust
1. If you share your information with others, you can view a list of who has access to your information and you can revoke sharing privileges at any time. When you revoke someone's ability to read your health information, that party will no longer be able to read your information, but may have already seen or may retain a copy of the information.
