Frontline Medical Privacy Policy
Effective July 31, 2024
Frontline Medical is a regional company dedicated to the healthcare business. Frontline Medical provides medical care to patients.
When we use the term Frontline Medical or we in this policy, we mean Frontline Holding Companies and subsidiaries (MDforYou PLLC).
This Privacy Policy covers our online and offline interactions with you where we decide how your personal data is processed. For example, this Privacy Policy applies when you visit a Frontline Medical website or application that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “Sites”), when you interact with our Services, or when you contact our support team, speak to our sales representatives, or otherwise interact with Frontline Medical offline.
Throughout this Policy, we use the term “personal data.” This term generally means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with an identified or identifiable individual. The laws of some jurisdictions, however, define personal data, or a similar term such as personal information, more broadly than this. Other jurisdictions’ laws may exclude certain information about you, such as your business contact details, from the definition of personal data. We will apply the definition of personal data contained in applicable privacy law.
If you have any questions about how a Frontline Medical customer uses or processes your personal data, or if you wish to exercise your rights with respect to personal data they process about you, contact the Frontline Medical customer directly.
As part of its normal business operations, Frontline Medical collects personal data about you from the following sources:
We collect the following categories of personal data about you:
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
We do not use this data for serving advertisements, nor do we allow humans to read the data (i.e., by utilization of robust access controls, procedures, etc., inclusive of the principle of least privilege) unless: (i) we have your affirmative agreement for specific data; (ii) doing so is necessary for security purposes, such as investigating abuse; (iii) it is in response to requested support/troubleshooting; (iv) to comply with applicable law; and/or (v) if the data have been anonymized or otherwise deidentified, for our internal operations related to the applicable Frontline Medical Products.
We disclose your personal data: (a) to our affiliated companies that are directly or indirectly owned by our parent company, Frontline Medical Group, Inc.; (b) to third parties at your direction, with separate, specific notice to you, or with your consent; (c) to third-party service providers, business advisors, or consultants, who need it to provide their services to us; (d) in connection with a merger, divestiture, acquisition, reorganization, restructuring, financing transaction or sale of assets; and (e) as required by law or administrative order, to assert claims or rights, or to defend against legal claims.
We use first- and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies on our Sites and Services. We use these technologies for the following purposes:
You can adjust which cookies and tracking technologies you want to allow, as stated in the “Exercising Choice” section below.
Google Analytics and Adobe Marketing Cloud
We use Google Analytics as described in “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.” You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics on our websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available here. For enhanced privacy purposes, we also employ IP address masking, a technique used to truncate IP addresses collected by Google Analytics and store them in an abbreviated form to prevent them from being traced back to individual users. Portions of our website may also use Google Analytics for Display Advertisers including DoubleClick or Dynamic Remarketing which provide interest-based ads based on your visit to this or other websites. You can use Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see and opt-out of interest-based ads. If you opt-out of interest-based ads, you may still see our advertisements, although they will not be targeted to you. We also use Adobe Marketing Cloud as described here. You can similarly exercise your rights with respect to use of this data as described in the “Exercising Choice” section below.
Social Media
Many of our websites include social media features, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, and X (formerly Twitter) “share” buttons. If you use these features they may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly – you can exercise your rights with respect to the use of this data as specified in the “Exercising Choice” section below. These services will also authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal data with us such as your name and email address to pre-populate our sign-up form or provide feedback. Your interactions with these features are governed by the Privacy Policy of the third-party company providing them.
Exercising Choice
Frontline Medical’s Cookie Consent Manager (available via the “Cookie Preferences” hyperlink at the bottom of this page) provides you with information about the types and categories of cookies and other web analytics tools used on Frontline Medical’s Sites and gives you the ability to make choices about which non-essential tools are activated. In addition, the Help Menu on the menu bar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies altogether.
You can still view our websites if you choose to set your browser to refuse all non-essential cookies; however, certain essential cookies are needed to operate the Site.
Certain data privacy laws provide individuals with rights with respect to the “selling” or “sharing” of their personal data. Frontline Medical does not currently provide personal data to others in exchange for monetary compensation. Some of these laws, however, define the “sale” of personal data to include disclosures of personal data for commercial activities such as targeted advertising. Privacy laws may also define “sharing” of personal data as providing it to advertising networks and other companies that facilitate digital advertising for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.
Under that broader definition, in the past 12 months, we have sold certain categories of personal data to, or shared it with, advertising networks and other companies that facilitate digital advertising for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. These activities allow us to provide more personalized information about our Services to individuals who may be more interested in learning about them. We do not, however, knowingly sell or share the data of minors under the age of 16.
We may sell or share the following categories of personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, or otherwise use them for targeted advertising:
In certain jurisdictions you have the right to opt out of sales and sharing of personal data. To do so, contact us at info@frontlinemed.net. Certain browsers can also be set to send Global Privacy Control signals, as discussed below.
Frontline Medical Sites that link to this notice recognize GPC signals. Frontline Medical Sites do not respond to or honor other Do Not Track instructions, which are preferences that users can set in certain web browsers.
Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals are opt-out signals communicated through the browser-based extension offered through the Global Privacy Control, a non-profit organization that has developed a tool that can be used universally to signal a user’s privacy preferences. Requests made through the GPC extension apply only to the device on which the request is made and will only work with the browser used to activate the opt-out setting. For more details, including how to turn on GPC, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
We keep your personal data in an identifiable form for no longer than needed for the business purposes for which it was collected or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Personal data processed in the context of a contract with you will be retained by us for the term of the contract and for a reasonable time afterwards as might be required to determine and settle any related claims or as otherwise required by law. Where our processing of your personal data is based on legitimate interests or compliance with legal obligations, it will be deleted as soon as the applicable underlying purpose has expired. Personal data processed based on your consent will be deleted if and when you withdraw such consent or when it is no longer needed.
Unless requested sooner or a shorter retention period is defined in the applicable Technical and Organizational Measures (“TOMs”), your Service account will be deleted or anonymized no later than twenty-four (24) months from the date of Service termination, expiration, or non-use. For specific details on data retention periods for your Service account, as well as the information Frontline Medical maintains on your behalf, consult the section “Return and Deletion of Customer Content” in the applicable Service or suite-specific TOMs.
Frontline Medical has implemented reasonable and appropriate controls designed to safeguard personal data that we collect and further process. For example, certain aspects of Frontline Medical’s operations, on a product and/or suite-specific basis, have been assessed by independent third-party auditors against recognized security standards and controls, including SOC 2 Type II, BSI C5, SOC 3, and ISO 27001.
Despite Frontline Medical’s efforts, and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, no method of electronic data transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You should also take steps to protect your information, including restricting access to your information, securing your passwords, and using SSL/TLS to prevent interception of transmissions.
Frontline Medical operates on a global basis. As a result, we may transfer your personal data to, or store or otherwise process it in, other countries or regions where data protection laws are different from those of your country and may not provide as high a level or protection as your local data protection laws. Regardless of where your personal data is transferred for processing, Frontline Medical will process it in accordance with this privacy policy and will take steps to properly protect it under applicable data protection law. Examples of these steps may include, as applicable, obtaining your consent to transfer such information, agreeing to certain contractual undertakings, or certifying to certain frameworks.
Transfers from the EU, the UK, and Switzerland to Third Countries
Data Privacy Framework
Frontline Medical complies with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (“EU-US DPF”), the UK Extension to the EU-US DPF (the UK Extension), and the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework (“Swiss-US DPF”) as set forth by the US Department of Commerce.
Frontline Medical Audio, LLC, Frontline Medical Communications, Inc., Frontline Medical Technologies USA, LLC, Frontline Medical Group, Inc., and Grasshopper Group, LLC have certified to the US Department of Commerce that they adhere to (a) the EU-US Data Privacy Framework Principles with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union and the United Kingdom in reliance on the EU-US DPF and the UK Extension, and (b) the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework Principles with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-US DPF.

To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework Program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/. For more information on Frontline Medical’s commitments and your rights related to the Data Privacy Framework, please review our DPF Notice.
Standard Contractual Clauses
For personal data transfers from the EU, the UK, and Switzerland to countries whose laws have not been deemed adequate by applicable EU regulatory authorities to that are not covered by Frontline Medical’s Data Privacy Framework certifications, Frontline Medical’s practice is to enter into data processing addendums that incorporate the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (the “SCCs”).
APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules System and Privacy Recognition for Processors System
Frontline Medical’s international transfer of personal data collected in participating Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (“APEC”) countries abides by the Cross-Border Privacy Rules (“CBPR”) System and Privacy Recognition for Processors (“PRP”) System for the transfer of personal data. More information about our APEC CBPR certification can be found here. More information about the APEC PRP certification can be found here. If you have raised concerns to Frontline Medical about our APEC CBPR or PRP certifications that remain unresolved, you may contact our dispute resolution provider (at no charge to you) here.
Frontline Medical Sites and Services are intended for general audiences. We do not seek through our Sites to gather personal data from or about persons that are 16 years of age or younger. If you inform us or we otherwise become aware that we have unintentionally received personal data from an individual under the age of 16, we will delete this information from our records.
If you are a resident of California, the UK, the EU, Switzerland, or Brazil, please refer to the applicable regional addenda to this Policy to learn how we honor your personal data rights.

Note: If you are seeking to make a privacy request related to personal data about you that we process for our customers, contact the customer and not Frontline Medical.

In some jurisdictions, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, if it produces legal effects or similarly significantly impacts you. Frontline Medical routinely requires human review of processing where legal effects or other similar impacts are likely to occur.
We update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our personal data handling practices or respond to new legal requirements and will post updates here. However, if we make any material changes that have a substantive and adverse impact on your privacy, we will provide notice on this website or notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) prior to the change becoming effective.
