About Ninth Brain Suite Privacy

Effective Date: May 5, 2024

Previous Version of Our Privacy Policy

May 2024 Changes to this Privacy Statement

We restructured our Privacy Statement and made language changes to clarify our existing privacy practices. We also added language regarding our reliance on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework as a legal basis for transfers of personal information.

What our Privacy Policy is about

Before we delve further into our privacy program and procedures, let’s establish a common understanding of the Ninth Brain Suite business model and its significance in relation to your privacy rights.

About Ninth Brain Suite

Ninth Brain Suite, LLC is a team of imaginative professionals who started with an idea to design a better, quicker, safer, and more accurate way to manage compliance and meet regulatory requirements for the healthcare industry. Ninth Brain Suite is recognized as one of the premier solutions for managing data, providing continuing education, and tracking regulatory requirements.

The Ninth Brain Suite business model

We operate a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model, meaning we do not sell our customers’ users’ data or monetize that by selling advertising. Instead, we sell subscriptions to our services. Our customers have full control over the data they input into our services and how it is employed. A comprehensive explanation of how we manage and share data related to our customer representatives can be found in the subsequent section.

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

For the purposes of this policy, we will use the terms “controllers” and “processors” when referring to usage of your personal information. The controller is the entity or organization that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. In other words, they decide why and how personal data is collected and processed. This entity is responsible for ensuring that the processing of personal data complies with data protection regulations. The processor is an entity that processes personal data on behalf of and according to the instructions of the controller. Processors do not determine the purposes or means of processing; their role is to execute the data processing activities as directed by the controller. Ninth Brain Suite may be either a controller or a processor, depending on the scenario.

This Privacy Policy applies when Ninth Brain Suite is the controller of your personal information and explains how Ninth Brain Suite collects, uses, and shares your personal information for its own purposes. For example, this Privacy Policy covers when you:

  • Visit a Ninth Brain Suite website that links to this Privacy Policy
  • Interact with Ninth Brain Suite as a representative of a company that has an account with Ninth Brain Suite
  • Register for or attend a Ninth Brain Suite webinar
  • Provide us with feedback about our products or services
  • Receive a sales or marketing communication from us, including emails or telephone calls

This Privacy Policy does not cover how we process personal information on behalf of our customers as a processor. If you are an employee of an organization that uses a Ninth Brain Suite product or service and you have questions or concerns about the personal information your organization holds in Ninth Brain Suite about you, please direct your request to that organization.

Disclosing your personal information.

Your organization. Where your organization is a customer or potential customer of Ninth Brain Suite, we may disclose your personal information to relevant people within your organization. For example, we may disclose inquiries from end users that should be addressed directly by the organization rather than Ninth Brain.

Additional disclosures: Ninth Brain may disclose data if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal processes; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce our website Terms and Conditions; and/or (d) act to protect the interests of our customers, users, or others. We may share or transfer your information in connection with or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

Protecting your personal information.

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

Transferring your personal information internationally.

In Short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.

Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information in the United States and other countries.

We take appropriate safeguards to protect your privacy, your fundamental rights and freedoms, and the ability to exercise your rights. For example, if we transfer personal information from the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland to another country such as the United States, we will implement an appropriate data transfer solution such as entering into “standard contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission or competent governmental authority (as applicable) with the data importer.  Following the adequacy decision by the European Commission, Ninth Brain Suite currently relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework as a legal basis for transfers of personal information from the EU to the United States. For more information, see the Certifications subsection below or our Data Privacy Framework Notice here.

Retaining your personal information.

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

 

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
