OTGD+MEDICAL / On The Go Drip

This Privacy Policy describes how OTGD+MEDICAL, doing business as On The Go Drip (“OTGD+MEDICAL,” “On The Go Drip,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit onthegodrip.com, use our online services, communicate with us, make a purchase, request an appointment, access our patient portal, complete an online form, or otherwise interact with us.

When you make a purchase or payment, payment information may be processed by third-party payment processors.

We may receive limited transaction information, such as payment status, transaction amount, billing name, or the last digits of a payment method. We do not necessarily receive or retain complete payment card information.

We do not authorize third-party tracking technologies to receive PHI in violation of HIPAA.

Where a third-party vendor creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on our behalf, we will evaluate whether the vendor is acting as a business associate and whether an appropriate Business Associate Agreement or other HIPAA-compliant arrangement is required.

Our website may provide access or links to a patient portal or other authenticated health care platform.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices, content, or policies of third-party websites or services.

You should review the privacy policy of any third party before providing information.

13. Social Media

We may maintain accounts on social media platforms.

Information you post publicly or send through a social media platform may be governed by that platform’s privacy practices.

Do not use public social media comments or direct messages to send sensitive medical information.

Use our secure patient portal or other approved communication channels for personal health information.

14. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
