Security


The Company has implemented technologies, processes and procedures (collectively “Safeguards”) designed to protect the information it collects and stores, including Consumer personal information. These Safeguards include:
  • Enhanced Compliance Mode options for companies in the health care industry:
    1. Audit tags that log who and when any personal information or financial information is created or modified.
    2. Consumers must confirm the release of personal information for every appointment they electronically request.
  • A minimum eight character password for all users of the system.
  • A user interface with permission levels and encrypted passwords designed to prevent user access to data of third parties.
  • Authentication verification standards upon Consumer registration through email verification.
  • 128 - 256 bit SSL encryption of all data transmissions via the Company and on all of the appointment booking screens. SSL is the industry standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser.
  • A secure hosting environment.
  • Daily system backups.
  • Encrypted server access based on permissions by the Company’s employees and system administrators.


Registered users are assigned a unique user name and password, which are required to access their account. It is the user's responsibility to protect the security of their user name and password.

The Company has employed firewalls and other advanced security technologies, which we believe are reasonably sufficient to safeguard against unauthorized access from outside intruders.
