This Privacy Notice (this “Notice”) outlines the types of Personal Information Azodha may collect; the means by which Azodha may collect, use, or share your Personal Information; steps Azodha takes to protect your Personal Information; and choices you are provided with respect to the use of your Personal Information. For the purposes of this Notice, “Personal Information” (also known as “personally identifiable information” (PII) or “personal data” in some jurisdictions) is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household. Unless otherwise stated, this Notice applies to Personal Information that Azodha collects through our website (“Sites”) or through your other interactions with Azodha.

To comply with certain data protection laws, we are required to disclose specific information regarding the categories of Personal Information (PI) we collect, and your rights with regard to that Personal Information. Following are the categories of Basic PI collected -

- Fulfilling your requests, including to register and administer your account and provide you the information, products and services that you request (including, where applicable, user activities associated with the licensing and use of Azodha tools and services, such as user authentication and credentialing).
- Enhancing your experience, such as by tailoring content and advertising and remembering your preferences

Customer Agreements and your Health-related Information
Azodha provides a platform that our clients ("Customers'') can use to develop various applications, such as web applications, mobile applications, text chatbots, voice bots, and VR apps (collectively, "Services"). We offer these services to our customers under specific agreements ("Agreements'') that dictate our use and disclosure of their users' Protected Health Information (as defined below) and other Personal Information. This Notice supplements those Agreements. If a term in this Notice contradicts an applicable Agreement, the Agreement will prevail.
In providing our Services, Azodha may collect electronic health record information, which includes Protected Health Information. This is personally identifiable health information safeguarded by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations ("Protected Health Information"). Your Protected Health Information may contain sensitive categories of information such as your race, gender, sexual orientation or preferences, and biometrics. We collect this information solely to deliver our Services to our Customers and only use the Protected Health Information as allowed under the relevant Agreement.
Our Customers determine how we use and disclose the Protected Health Information we collect through the Services. Your healthcare provider's collection, use, and disclosure of information about you is subject to your provider's own privacy policies and terms and conditions. If you're a patient or user of one of our Customers using a Service provided under an Agreement and have questions about your treatment or the handling of your health-related information, you should consult with your healthcare provider.
For any changes you wish to make to your Protected Health Information that your healthcare provider stores in our systems or uses in connection with the Services, please contact your healthcare provider directly.
How we share your basic personal information
We may share your Basic Personal Information for the reason(s) disclosed to you at the time we collect it, with your consent, at your direction, or in the following ways:
- Internal Sharing within Azodha: We may share your Personal Information internally among the Azodha subsidiaries in order to provide you our services and generally improve our product and service offerings.
- Sharing with vendors and other service providers: We may share your Personal Information with service providers who perform services for our behalf. These services may include activities such as direct mailing, fulfillment services, email-campaigns, digital advertising, hosting, and other IT services.
- In the event of a corporate transaction: In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, we may disclose your Personal Information to the party or parties of such transaction.
- Legal obligations and to protect our rights: We will disclose your Personal Information when we think it is necessary to investigate or prevent actual or expected fraud, criminal activity, injury or damage to us or others or when otherwise required by statute, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other law, or if necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our employees, or others.

Period of Personal Information Retention
Azodha maintains your Personal Information only as long as necessary to fulfill the original collection and processing purposes, which includes meeting legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations. In addition, your Personal Information will be retained and used as required to resolve disputes and enforce our terms, conditions, and policies. The appropriate duration for retaining your Personal Information is determined by the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the processing purposes, and whether these purposes can be achieved through alternative methods. Following the expiration of the retention period, your personal data will be safely discarded in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
