1. Introduction

Journey Health Inc dba Maternity Neighborhood (“Maternity Neighborhood” “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the websites located at www.maternityneighborhood.com, www.getprivatepractice.com [a]and other related websites with links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”). Through the Site, we operate an online service providing electronic health records and other digital tools for maternity care (the “Service”).  Our Site provides further information about our Service.  We know you are concerned about your privacy, so we developed this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain how we collect, use, and disclose information from and/or about you when you use the Site or the Services as a Client.

Basically …

We work hard to keep your private information private. This document describes how we do that.

Our core business is providing maternity health records to help your health care provider take care of you.

Certain Definitions

So we are clear about the terms we are using, when we use the term “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information about you that is personally identifiable to you, such as your contact information (e.g., name, address, email address, or telephone number), and any other non-public information that is associated with such information (collectively, “Personal Information”).  Also, when we use the term “De-Identified Information”, we mean information that is neither used nor intended to be used to personally identify an individual.  Lastly, when we use the term “Cookies”, we mean the small pieces of information that a website sends to your browser while you are viewing a website.

Basically …

Personal Information is private information about you. I

We use “Cookies” on this website — small files that the website sends to your web browser.

No Information from Children under age 18

The Site is not directed to children and children are not eligible to use our Service.  If you are under age 18, and are not an emancipated minor, please do not attempt to use our Service or provide any personal information about yourself to us.
