Privacy Policy
A legal disclaimer
The explanations and information provided on this page are only general and high-level explanations and information on how to write your own document of a Privacy Policy. You should not rely on this article as legal advice or as recommendations regarding what you should actually do, because we cannot know in advance what are the specific privacy policies you wish to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice to help you understand and to assist you in the creation of your own Privacy Policy.
Privacy Policy - the basics
Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting its visitors’ or customers’ privacy, and an explanation about the different mechanisms the website is implementing in order to protect privacy.
Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location.
What to include in the Privacy Policy
Generally speaking, a Privacy Policy often addresses these types of issues: the types of information the website is collecting and the manner in which it collects the data; an explanation about why is the website collecting these types of information; what are the website’s practices on sharing the information with third parties; ways in which your visitors and customers can exercise their rights according to the relevant privacy legislation; the specific practices regarding minors’ data collection; and much, much more.

FOR PHYSICIANS
Your Patients Need You Even When You Can't Be Available.
The relationship you have with your patient doesn't end when the appointment does.
But you can't personally be available to every patient at every hour.
A patient may become sick at night.
They may have a concern over the weekend.
Your schedule may be full.
Their next appointment may be days or weeks away.
When they can't reach you, someone else may provide their care—and that healthcare professional may know very little about the patient you've cared for over months or years.
You shouldn't have to choose between being available 24 hours a day and having your patient receive disconnected care.
Let Alana Help Extend Your Care When You Can't Personally Be There.
Alana is the clinical cognitive intelligence layer that connects patients, physicians and telemedicine providers.
Alana is designed to support your relationship with your patient—not replace it.
When you're available, Alana can provide patient-specific clinical intelligence and clinical considerations for your professional review.
When you're not available, your patient can begin with Alana instead of starting somewhere completely disconnected from you.
If another authorized healthcare professional needs to provide more immediate care, that clinician can use Alana to begin better informed about the individual patient.
The treating clinician remains responsible for the diagnosis and treatment decision.And the patient can return to you for appropriate follow-up.
Your patient can receive care now without unnecessarily severing continuity with you.
Alana is also designed to support a structured, traceable clinical encounter in which relevant patient information, clinical context, Alana's considerations, the clinician's decisions, treatment, and subsequent follow-up remain appropriately distinguishable.
Better-informed decisions. Greater continuity. A clearer clinical record.
Alana Helps You Stay Connected to Your Patients—Even When You Can't Personally Be Available.
Extend the relationship you've already built.
