  • What Information and Data Do We Collect?

  • General. Our primary purpose in collecting information and data from you voluntarily is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience when using the Services. We will only ask for and collect Information and Data that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose.

  • Information You Provide.
    • You can browse the public facing sections of the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any Information. However, in order to use or purchase the Services, you must register for a User Account. When registering for a User Account, you must provide Information as requested or where indicated on the Site. At that time, you will no longer be anonymous to us. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional. In addition, as you use or purchase the Services, you may be required or requested, from time to time, to provide further Information through the Services (including, to DiagnoseAtHome, a Medical Professional or a Laboratory), while, without limitation, requesting a consultation or appointment with a Medical Professional, during a consultation, appointment or other interaction or communication with a Medical Professional; while purchasing a Test, while completing a Test and providing a Sample and/or related to your Results. The Information you may be required or requested to provide may include, without limitation, name, billing address, delivery address, phone number, e-mail address, date of birth, gender, username and/or password, personal and family medical history information, details of your existing medications, Samples, Results, the name of your primary healthcare provider and his or her contact information and any private health benefits number(s) or account information. For greater certainty, DiagnoseAtHome is not the custodian of Information collected on or through the Services; rather it facilitates the connection between Users and Medical Professionals or Laboratories, who independently deliver services on, through or in connection with the Services. DiagnoseAtHome holds Information on behalf of Users, Medical Professionals and Laboratories as it relates to the Services and/or their communication, interaction and involvement with one another, directly or indirectly, through the Services.
    • You represent that you have the right and authority or have obtained all necessary consents and approvals to provide any Information, including any Information of another individual or entity, that is provided by you to DiagnoseAtHome, Medical Professional, Laboratory or otherwise to or through the Services.
    • We may ask for your personal health information and the use of the Services may produce or require the disclosure of your personal health information (including, without limitation, personal and family medical history information, details of your existing medications, Samples, Results, the name of your primary healthcare provider and his or her contact information, and any private health benefits number(s) or account information). The use of Services that are eligible for coverage by provincial health plans may require you to provide your provincial health card number in order for us to bill your provincial health plan on behalf of Medical Professionals and/or Laboratories. If you provide us with any personal health information, it will be kept strictly confidential and collected, retained and disclosed in compliance with all applicable Canadian privacy laws. By submitting User Content that includes your personal health information, you explicitly consent to our collection, retention and disclosure of that Information.
    • You always have the option to not provide Information by choosing not to become a User and/or access, use or purchase the Services. Your decision to withhold certain Information may limit the Services we are able to provide and make it more difficult for us to advise you or suggest appropriate alternatives to the Services. If we are unable to accommodate your requests based on the Information (or lack thereof) that you have provided, we may ask for additional Information so that we may better accommodate your needs.
  • Payment Method. If you have registered for a User Account, we may collect your credit card, other payment method and/or banking information. If and when you add a credit card, payment method and/or banking information to a User Account, such information and your Information may be shared with our third-party payment processor(s). We do not store credit card, other payment and/or banking information on our servers.
