Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2024

Bulwark Health (“Bulwark”, “Company”, we”, “us” or “our”) respects the privacy of our visitors and users of our services, and we have prepared this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy.

The terms and conditions described in this Privacy Policy apply to our public website, (www.Bulwarkhealth.com) including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through (www.Bulwarkhealth.com – the “Website”). The policy also applies to other websites (public and password-restricted) controlled by the Company that link to the Website or post this Privacy Policy and when you contact us through the Website, via email or offline.

The Privacy Policy describes what Personal and other information the Company collects, how it is collected, how that information may be used, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures. However, the policy does not apply to information collected by any third-party websites, browser plug-ins or applications to which we provide links, to information provided to, or collected by, third-parties through cookies, web beacons, or other third-party technologies served during your visit to the Website.

By accessing the Website, you agree that your Personal Information will be treated as described in this Privacy Policy.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use the term “Personal Information” to refer to information that, by itself or in combination, would permit someone to identify or contact you, such as your full name, address, telephone number, or email address. Personal Information does not include de-identified or aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of individual persons.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

As described below, we collect certain Personal and other Information when visitors access our Website and when Authorized Users access our password restricted Bulwark Health SaaS Platform websites.

Information We Collect Automatically — When accessing the Bulwark Health Website, we may collect limited non-personal identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your IP address, browser type, browser language, type of device and the date and time of your query. We use this information to understand how people interact with our website. Upon your first visit to Bulwark Health website, a “cookie”, or small file containing a string of characters, may be sent to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. Bulwark Health may store user preferences in cookies and track user trends and search patterns. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. (See the “Your Choices” section below for instructions on how to manage cookies.)

We also may collect information about any services you access or use, your interactions with content offered on the Website, and other online activity. For example, we may collect information about how many visitors visit a specific webpage, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they click on.

Information You Provide to Us – There may be instances where users voluntarily provide certain Personal Information to us, such as when you complete and send an online form requesting information, need a question answered or otherwise ask to be contacted. We may ask for you to provide your name, phone number, email address and company affiliation.

Bulwark Health SaaS Platform – Our SaaS Platforms are  password-restricted services provided under contract to our healthcare clients that provide or support healthcare services. Bulwark’s access to PHI on the platform is governed by Business Associate Agreements with each client. Bulwark does not solicit or collect Personal Information, PHI or other Sensitive or Special Categories of Personal Information directly from individuals, whether on the Website or otherwise, for posting and use on the platform.

These clients will identify to Bulwark Health those employees, agents or other representatives (“Authorized Users”) who are to have access to and use the platform on their behalf. Authorized Users will be asked to provide minimal Personal Information to be gain access to the platform: first name, last name, title, affiliation, email address, and phone number. They also will be asked to establish an ID and unique password for their account on the platform.

Job Applicants — If you apply for a position with us via the Careers page on the Website, you will be asked to provide certain personal information to enable us to process your application: name, telephone, email address, resume and physical/mailing address. Note that if you submit your job application information via email or regular mail, your included personal information will also be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information from Other Sources – We may obtain information about you from publicly and commercially available sources, as permitted by law, which we may combine with other information we receive from or about you.

Social Media — We may receive personal information about you from a social media platform if you connect to the Website through that service or platform. Social Media features or widgets may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. They are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Website. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these features or social media companies. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy and other policies of the companies providing them.

We may also need to share your Personal Information to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit damages we may sustain.

● Aggregated and Non-Personal Information — We may share aggregated or de-identified information with third parties, including service providers, advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting analytics regarding our Website and for general business analysis.

(3) enforce this Privacy Policy or a contract;

(4) to respond to claims that content violates the rights of third-parties;

Bulwark Health is concerned with the security of your information and is committed to taking reasonable steps to protect it from unauthorized access and use.

For Authorized Users of the Bulwark Health SaaS Platform, you are requested not to provide your password to another person. We cannot be responsible for a data breach or other incident if a password is used by unauthorized persons.

All Sensitive Information we collect is protected by encryption software, both in transit and at rest.

Bulwark may receive Protected Health Information (PHI) subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Bulwark has implemented the required safeguards pursuant to HIPAA and the health and healthcare data consistent and in that event it will meet the requirements for protection of this information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the HITECH Act.

We will retain your Personal Information in active files or systems as long as needed to meet the purposes for which it was collected, to provide the services or products you or the associated merchant client requested, or as otherwise may be required by law.
