Cadence Rx Privacy Policy

Version 1.1 Last Revised: 02/08/2024

This Privacy Policy is provided by Cadence Rx, LLC. (“Cadence Rx”, “we”, “us” or “our”) to all visitors (“you” or “your”) who use the Cadence Rx site available through https://CadenceRx.com (the “Site”) and Registered Users of OPUS. The Site is provided to you as a service to disseminate information regarding Cadence Rx and enable certain online interactions with Cadence Rx. “Registered Users” include Registered Adjusters, Case Managers, and other persons associated with a workers’ compensation or occupational injury claim. “Registered Adjusters” are workers’ compensation or occupational injury adjusters that have registered for access to OPUS. “Case Managers” are workers’ compensation or occupational injury case managers able to manage accounts of associated Registered Adjusters and view certain information associated with these Registered Adjusters. “OPUS” is a registered user-only account portal available at https://opus.cadencerx.com that enables Registered Users to authorize medications, access reports, and review patient information.

We are firmly committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information. The term “Personal Information” means any information which can be used to identify a person including by way of example, but not limitation, name, date of birth, mailing address, social media and other third-party platform account identifiers, home phone number, mobile phone number, e-mail address, credit card information, and/or Social Security number. The term “Health Information” means any information, in any form, related to the past, present, or future health or medical status, condition, or treatment of a person, including, by way of example, but not limitation, names of doctors, health conditions, medicines, and/or prescription information and history.

COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND HEALTH-RELATED PERSONAL INFORMATION

How We Collect Your Personal Information

Registration
Registration is optional; however, Registered Users are provided access to OPUS and to information and online services not provided on the public website, as well as the ability to login to OPUS when visiting https://opus.cadencerx.com. To register for OPUS, your associated client organization may request your access to and use of OPUS through a new client implementation or through an access request to an account representative. Certain Personal Information may be required to be provided during this process. The Personal Information you disclose to us during registration and in connection with OPUS is provided strictly on a voluntary basis.

Once approved, you may access and use OPUS on behalf of this client organization in accordance with your role on OPUS. For example, a Registered Adjuster may perform certain functions including authorizing medications, running reports, and viewing patient history through OPUS after registration and a Case Manager may review the claims of associated adjusters and manage OPUS accounts of associated adjusters. If you are not an employee of the client organization but are an approved third party acting on behalf of the client organization (“Authorized Third Party”), you may use OPUS solely on behalf of the client organization in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.

COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

Collection of Non-Personal Information

When you visit the Site, and during your interactions with the Site, we may collect Non-Personal Information from you. “Non-Personal Information” means a data element or collection of data elements that by itself cannot ordinarily be associated with a specific individual. Non-Personal Information includes by way of example but not limitation, the Internet browser or computer operating system you are using, your navigation of the Site including the pages of the Site that you access, the amount of time spent on various portions of the Site, the length and dates of your visits to the Site, and certain Site data captured through your interactions with the Site and other sites. Non-Personal Information may include information provided by you through the Site or otherwise (e.g., through a third-party site) that is not Personal Information or Health Information. Certain Non-Personal Information may be collected on an aggregated, anonymous basis through web server logs, cookies, ad servers, tracking pixels, web beacons, and similar Internet tracking devices (collectively “Tracking Mechanisms”). Web servers automatically collect Non-Personal Information, with your IP address, when you request pages of the Site or other sites. Based on certain interactions with the Site, third-party sites, mailings, other communications with us, and/or our system configurations, certain Non-Personal Information may be associated with your Personal Information such that your Non-Personal Information is identifiable with you.

You may be able to opt-out of certain third-party associations by following third party customization and/or opt-out options. Google®, Twitter®, and LinkedIn® may provide customization and/or opt-out of certain Tracking Mechanisms through their respective sites. For example, Google’s Ads Settings, DoubleClick opt-out page, Twitter’s promoted content settings, LinkedIn account settings, and Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page may limit the collection and usage of certain third-party Tracking Mechanisms.

Use of Non-Personal Information

The collected Non-Personal Information may be used by us and our affiliated companies for a variety of analytic and developmental purposes including to improve and enhance the Site and our products and services, to create new products and services, to customize your experience on the Site and other sites that you visit on the Internet, to identify and/or offer products, services and website functionality that may be of interest to you, and other legitimate business purposes.

We may use different kinds of cookies including session ID cookies and persistent cookies. Session ID cookies are used to personalize your user experience, to determine ways to improve the Site, Site content, and the services offered through the Site. These cookies are deleted from your hard drive when you close your browser session. Persistent cookies are used to collect non-personally identifiable information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp and number of clicks.

You may set your browser to accept cookies, warn you when a cookie is sent, or turn off all cookies (except Flash cookies). Check your web browser’s help menu or your mobile device settings to find out how. Some mobile devices store cookies not only in areas connected to the web browsers but also in an app-specific area, so you may have to check your app settings options to determine how to manage or delete cookies stored in these other areas. If you do not accept cookies, some features, services, or activities available through the Site may not function correctly and you may be unable to access certain content.

We may embed tracking pixels within various pages of the Site to enable use of site analytics. The site analytics enable us to determine the usage frequency of various areas of the Site and identify areas of the Site for enhancement. While you are visiting and after you leave the Site, we may use web beacons to notify you of areas of the Site and other aspects of our organization and its affiliated companies in which you may be interested. Certain tracking pixels and web beacons may be cleared or reset through configuration of your web browser such as by clearing your cache. We may use ad servers to provide you with offers of possible interest.

We use your IP address so that we can send data (such as the pages you request) to you and collect Non-Personal Information during the process. We aggregate this Non-Personal Information with similar Non-Personal Information collected from other users to track overall visitor traffic patterns and help us understand Site usage and preferred and most frequently used pages, products and services, to provide you with better service, to improve Site use and functionality, and to provide you with information on other products and services that may be of interest to you.

We may analyze Non-Personal Information in the aggregate to study outcomes, costs, and provider profiles, and to suggest benefit designs for employers or health plans. These studies may generate Aggregate Data (described below) which we may utilize for a variety of purposes.

We may perform statistical analyses of the traffic patterns, Site usage, and behaviors associated with the Site. We may use these analyses to generate Aggregate Data from the original Non-Personal Information. We may combine, separate, aggregate, or otherwise parse and process Non-Personal Information. The parsing and processing of such information may generate Aggregate Data. “Aggregate Data” is summary level data, such as the number of web visitors in a specific geographic area. Aggregate Data does not contain information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address, and does not reflect the original form of the Non-Personal Information collected from you.

Disclosure of Non-Personal Information

We may disclose Non-Personal Information as follows:

We may share Non-Personal Information with our affiliated companies, third parties who provide services to us, and other parties that you have authorized.

We may disclose Aggregate Data to other companies or organizations for any legitimate business purpose.
