- How We Use Your Information
JRI does not plan to use the personal information collected through the Application. JRI will only share your PHI, including any highly sensitive information, provided when receiving the Services in accordance with the Privacy Laws and JRI’s policies and procedures. In most cases, this will likely require your consent before your information is shared outside of JRI. Also, JRI may de-identify the information it collects from Participants so that JRI can assess the Application and the Services for its internal purposes and to use and/or obtain funding and market the Application. - Will You Share My Name or Information With Other Organizations?
No. JRI will not disclose your name or any other information collected through the Application unless it is in accordance with the Privacy Laws or JRI is required to do so by law. - Updating Your Information and Options to Unsubscribe
