If you are reading this Privacy Policy, you likely know us as Society Health. At Society Venture Investments, LLC (d/b/a Society Health) ("Society Health,""we,""us," or"our"), we help healthcare organizations and related businesses transform the way they manage financial and operational resources. We provide technology-enabled services that integrate financial systems, treasury operations, accounts payable, and, where appropriate, electronic health record (EHR) data to enable cost transparency, value-based care readiness, and overall financial resiliency.
Because we process financial data, operational records, and, in some cases, health-related information, we take privacy and security very seriously.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information in connection with your use of our Website (www.societyhealth.co) and related services (together, our"Services"). It also describes your rights with respect to the personal information we handle, including if you are a resident of California, other U.S. states with privacy laws, or are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK).
If you have questions about our privacy practices, you can contact us at: privacy@societyhealth.co.
Our Role
In most cases, Society Health acts as a service provider or data processor. That means:
- We process financial and operational data (e.g., accounts payable, billing, payroll, reimbursement files, tax records) and sometimes health-related information (e.g., cost allocations tied to EHR encounters) strictly on behalf of our customers.
- Our customers (the"data controllers") decide what data is shared with us and how it is used.
- If you are an employee, patient, or vendor of one of our customers and want to know how your data is used, you should contact them directly.
- If we collect your information outside of a customer relationship (e.g., you are a visitor to our Website, a business contact, or an applicant for employment), then this Privacy Policy applies directly to you.
