Scope and Our Role
This Privacy Policy describes how C2C Ventures LLC, operator of OptimizeMD, may collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information in connection with OptimizeMD.co and related OptimizeMD administrative services.
OptimizeMD is a telehealth platform and administrative services provider, not a medical practice. Medical services are provided by independent licensed healthcare professionals affiliated with provider networks including LocumTele and Providers On Demand.
Information We May Collect
The information collected depends on how you interact with the platform and may include:
- Name, email address, telephone number, and date of birth or age where applicable.
- Account details, billing and transaction information, support inquiries, communications, and marketing preferences.
- Device and browser details, IP address, approximate location, and website activity.
- Information needed to facilitate telehealth services, including health-related information where collected through applicable patient or telehealth workflows.
OptimizeMD does not necessarily possess every category listed above in every interaction.
Medical Information and Separate Privacy Notices
Certain medical information may be collected directly by independent healthcare professionals, provider networks, or through third-party telehealth and patient-portal platforms. The current patient portal is operated through OLA Digital Health / OLA MD LLC.
Certain health information handled by healthcare providers or other covered entities may be governed by HIPAA and their respective Notices of Privacy Practices. C2C Ventures LLC is not represented here as a HIPAA covered entity, and not all information submitted through OptimizeMD is necessarily protected by HIPAA. Provider and patient-portal arrangements may have separate privacy notices.
How Information May Be Used
- Operate, maintain, support, and improve the website and administrative platform.
- Facilitate access to telehealth services, laboratory arrangements, pharmacy fulfillment, and patient support.
- Create and administer accounts, process transactions, and communicate about services.
- Protect safety and security, prevent fraud, troubleshoot, and comply with legal obligations.
- Measure website use and, subject to applicable law and user choices, provide analytics or relevant marketing.
Payments
Payment processing may be provided directly by OptimizeMD or C2C Ventures LLC, or by authorized third-party service providers. During the current transition to direct payment processing, certain payments may be facilitated through OLA Digital Health / OLA MD LLC. Payment providers may collect and process payment credentials under their own privacy terms.
Email and SMS Communications
We may send essential transactional or service messages when you provide contact details. Marketing communications are separate. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails through the provided link and reply STOP to applicable marketing texts. Opting out of marketing does not prevent legally permitted treatment-related or essential service communications.
Data Retention
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and satisfying legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and security requirements. Retention periods vary by information type, relationship, and legal obligation.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information. No online system or transmission is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
State Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and subject to legal exceptions, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of certain personal information, or to opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing as those terms are defined by applicable law.
To submit a privacy request, email support@optimizemd.co. We may need to verify your identity. You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
Age Eligibility
Services through OptimizeMD are intended for people who are at least 25 years old. We do not knowingly offer these services to anyone under 25. If you believe information was submitted by someone under 25, contact us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy as our services, technology, providers, or legal obligations evolve. We will post the revised Policy with a new “Last updated” date and provide additional notice when required by law.
