other types of administrative services (the “Services”).
II. INFORMATION THAT MAY BE COLLECTED
In order to use the Services, you are asked to enter an e-mail address and password,
which we refer to as your DOI LIVE ID or credentials. After you create your ID,
you can use the same credentials to log in to DOI LIVE's website and utilize the
Services. This log in process will allow you to manage your account, it will allow
you to search physicians, make appointments, attend appointments, etc.
The first time you log in to DOI LIVE's website to utilize the Services, you will

DOI LIVE creates a record of the care and services you receive. Some examples of
the information collected or created through this process are video and/or audio
files associated with all consultations, electronic medical records that may be
uploaded or created as a result of treatment, and medical test results.
For certain services, such as for subscription, health sessions and monitoring services,
we will collect credit card or billing/payment account information which we maintain

IV. HOW SECURITY IS HANDLED AT DOI LIVE
The importance of security for all personal information including, but not limited
to, PHI associated with you is of utmost concern to us. At DOI LIVE, we exercise
state of the art care in providing secure transmission of your information from
your PC or mobile device to our servers. PHI collected by our web site is stored
in secure operation environments that are not available or accessible to the public.
Only those employees who need access to your information in order to do their jobs
are allowed access, each having signed confidentiality agreements. Any employee
who violates our privacy or security policies is subject to disciplinary action,
including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.
DOI LIVE is not only HIPPA compliant but additionally utilizes the latest technologies
to ensure utmost security. DOI LIVE uses several layers of firewall security and
different degrees of encryption for each customer's sensitive PHI to ensure the
highest level of security which meets or exceeds the requirements promulgated under
HIPAA (defined below)
DOI LIVE Medical Group is the sole owner of the information collected on its site.
DOI LIVE Medical Group will not sell, share or lease this information to others.
DOI LIVE does not sell any customer lists, e-mail addresses, cookies or other data
without your written authorization.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are text information files that your web browser places on your computer
when you visit a website. Cookies assist in providing non-personal information from
you as an online visitor. It can be used in the customization of your preferences
when visiting our website. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but can be
configured not to accept them or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. DOI LIVE

Secure interaction. When you interact on our web site, all of your
PHI including, but not limited to, your credit card number and delivery address,
is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Socket Layers (SSL) technology.
SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your entered information before transmitting
it to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent
someone other than operators of our web site from capturing and viewing your personal
information. DOI LIVE also takes the following measures to protect your PHI online:
Passwords. To provide you with an increased level of security,
online access to your PHI is protected with a password you select. We strongly recommend
that you do not disclose your password to anyone. DOI LIVE will never ask you for
your password in any unsolicited communication (including unsolicited correspondence
such as letters, phone calls, or E-mail messages).
Information. Since any entered information you provide to us on
our website will be transmitted using a secure connection, if your web browser cannot
support this level of security, you will not be able to order products through our
website. The most recent versions of Safari, Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet
Explorer and Firefox can support a secure connection and can be downloaded for free
from their respective websites.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
While we strive to protect your PHI from unauthorized access, use or disclosure,
DOI LIVE cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to
us on our web site.
