Mobile Application Privacy Policy

June 28, 2022

 

Salience TMS Neuro Solutions (“Salience TMS”) recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of your personal information, and we have prepared this Mobile Application Privacy Policy to provide you with important information about the privacy practices applicable to the Salience TMS Patient Portal and any website or service that links to or refers to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

In addition, individually identifiable information that you provide to us for purposes of obtaining medical services (such information is also referred to as “Protected Health Information” or “PHI”) will also be subject to the Salience TMS Neuro Solutions Notice of Privacy Practices (“Notice of Privacy Practices”), which is available at this link. The Notice of Privacy Practices describes how Salience TMS can use and share your PHI and describes your rights with respect to your PHI.

To the extent that there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Notice of Privacy Practices with respect to PHI, the Notice of Privacy Practices will prevail.
