When you access the Apps, Doctor Urgent Medical Care may collect certain generalized information without your actively providing such information. This information may include, for example, the type of mobile device you are using and your mobile operating system. When you access certain Apps, we may assign to you a unique analytics tracking identification number (ID).

Doctor Urgent Medical Care employs various online security measures to safeguard and keep your information private.

Doctor Urgent Medical Care processes personally identifiable information only for the purposes for which it was collected and by this Privacy Policy.

Doctor Urgent Medical Care does not share your personally identifiable information with third parties without your consent, except for third-party suppliers that perform essential business or administrative services for us (for example, our web hosting provider). Doctor Urgent Medical Care provides these suppliers only with the information they need to perform such services and asks that they either comply with this Privacy Policy or maintain comparable privacy policies that protect your personally identifiable information.
