This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) applies to the Personal Data (as defined below) and other information collected by Greenphire, LLC and its affiliates (the “Company”, “we“, “us“, or “our“) while: (1) using our websites, including www.greenphire.com (the “Websites”) and/or (2) using our products and services, including, without limitation the services known as ClinCard, ConneX, eClinicalGPS, EnvisiX and GreenSpace (the “Services”). The Services are typically accessed by you through a proprietary platform (each a “Platform”, collectively, the “Platforms”) available for you to access on a personal computer, smartphone, tablet or other electronic device. To the extent applicable, this Policy also applies to our general online and offline collection of information.
This Policy generally applies regardless of whether you are: (1) a participant in a clinical trial; (2) a payee; (3) a health care provider; (4) a clinical trial site administrator; or (5) a clinical trial sponsor (each a “User”, “you” or “your”). However, certain aspects of the Policy may not apply to each type of User in all circumstances.
By accessing or using the Websites or the Platforms, you agree that you have read, understand, and are bound by this Policy and our Terms of Use [greenphire.com/terms-of-use] (the “Terms of Use”). IF YOU ARE UNDER 18, PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE WEBSITES OR THE PLATFORMS. If you do not agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use, please do not use the Websites or the Platforms.

a. Personal Data is information that identifies you, or could be used to identify or contact you. Personal Data includes, without limitation, information such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, or internet protocol (“IP”) address. We may need to collect and process Personal Data in order: to (i) provide requested information; (ii) provide Services to you; (iii) allow you to access the Website or the Platforms; and/or (iv) because we are legally required to do so. Personal Data may be collected directly from you, from your employer and/or from third parties.

However, to access certain parts of the Website and to use the Platforms you will be required to create an account (each an “Account”). Personal Data will be requested from you as part of the Account registration process. The registration process for an individual User, such as a clinical trial participant, typically requests that you provide your name, email address, mailing address, date of birth and phone number. For Users who are accessing the Website or the Platforms on behalf of their employer, registration typically requires that you supply your name, your job title, your business email address and your business phone number.
c. We also may collect Personal Data when you respond to a survey, inquire about our Services and/or contact us for customer service or technical support.
d. If you inquire about an employment opportunity at Company, you will need to send us a resume or similar document containing Personal Data, that will be used solely for employment evaluation purposes. Providing this information is completely voluntary.

e. Administrative Communications. We may use Personal Data to send you information regarding the Websites, the Platforms, your Account status, changes to this Policy or the Terms of Use, or any other policies, agreements or transactions relevant to your use of the Websites or the Platforms.

As it relates to clinical trial participants, cookies and other types of web technologies will only be used as necessary to perform the requested services. We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and to compile aggregate data about the Websites’ traffic and your interaction with the Websites so that we can offer better experiences and tools in the future.

However, it is important to remember that the Websites may not function properly for you if you set your browser to reject our cookies.

However, no electronic transmission, storage or processing of information can be entirely secure and you assume all risk of loss, unauthorized access to or misuse of your information. Please note that one of the most effective security measures is protecting your password. Do not use any common passwords (such as “password”, “1234” or your child’s name) for your Account.
