Hermister (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users’ personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and share information on our website and related services. The policy also describes your rights regarding your personal information and how to contact us with privacy concerns or to exercise your rights.

We may collect various categories of information, including but not limited to:
- Personal details such as your name, address, email, telephone number, and health information, when you create an account or use our services.
- Technical data about your device, browser, IP address, and usage patterns through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

How We Use Your Information
Hermister uses and discloses your information for a range of business purposes, including:
- To provide and improve our care, process payments, and operate our services.
- To communicate with you via email, phone, or SMS regarding appointments, service updates, feedback requests, and reminders.
- To send you marketing communications if you have consented; you may opt out at any time.

Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with selected third parties, including:
- Service providers for technology, payment processing, laboratory testing, pharmacy services, and telecommunications.
- Third-party marketing, analytics, and advertising partners for targeted communications.
- Government agencies or legal authorities when required for reporting, compliance, or in response to legal requests.

All third parties are contractually obliged, where possible, to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information. However, some external providers may have independent privacy policies governing their use of your data.
Data Security
Hermister employs technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information. Despite these measures, no method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access or breaches.
Risks in Communication
- Emails and SMS messages sent by Hermister may not be encrypted; there’s a risk they could be viewed by third parties.
- Information stored on your device may be subject to risks outside our control.
- If you share information with external parties (such as pharmacies or labs), Hermister is not responsible for how those parties may use or protect your data.

Depending on applicable laws, your rights may include:
- Access: You can request a copy of your personal or medical information. A fee may apply.
- Correction: You may request updates to inaccurate information, subject to verification.
- Restriction: You may request limitations on certain use or disclosure, although we may not always be able to comply.
- Disclosure Accounting: You are entitled to an accounting of specific disclosures of your information once per year without charge.
- Deactivation: Upon request, your account may be deactivated, blocking access via your login credentials, though we may be unable to fully delete health records due to legal obligations.
