Privacy Policy
1. Who We Are
This Privacy Policy describes how MyCannaDoc (“MyCannaDoc,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with our clinic management software platform, websites, applications, support channels, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
MyCannaDoc is designed for clinics and authorized clinic personnel. The Service may be used to manage clinic accounts, users, offices, patients, patient documents, recommendations, service dog letters, caregiver documents, identification cards, invoices, receipts, inventory-related items, activity monitoring, notifications, audit logs, and related operational workflows.
The Service is currently offered through an early access program that provides eligible clinics with a two-month free trial, followed by the option to subscribe to paid services. This Privacy Policy also describes how we handle information relating to trial participation, product feedback, subscription communications, and potential future billing activities.
2. Important Roles: Customers, Users, and Patients
The Service is primarily a business-to-business software platform. Our direct customer is typically a clinic or healthcare-related organization that uses the Service (“Customer”). Individuals authorized by a Customer to access the Service are “Users.” Patients whose information is entered into the Service by a Customer or User are “Patients.”
For Patient information entered and maintained by a Customer, the Customer is generally the organization that determines why and how the information is used. MyCannaDoc processes such information to provide and support the Service.
If you are a Patient and have questions about your medical record, recommendation, clinic document, or privacy rights, you should first contact the clinic that provided your care or entered your information into the Service.
3. HIPAA and Protected Health Information
The Service may store or process health information, medical documentation, patient identifiers, and other information that may be considered Protected Health Information (“PHI”) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”) when handled by a covered entity or business associate.
To the extent MyCannaDoc receives, maintains, creates, or transmits PHI on behalf of a HIPAA-covered Customer, MyCannaDoc will handle such PHI as required by a written Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) or other applicable agreement between MyCannaDoc and the Customer.
This Privacy Policy does not replace a Customer’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices or any BAA.
Participation in the early access program or Free Trial Period does not change the confidentiality, security, privacy, or permitted-use requirements applicable to PHI.
Product testing and feedback activities do not independently authorize MyCannaDoc to use or disclose identifiable Patient information or PHI beyond the purposes permitted by applicable law and any executed BAA.
4. Information We Collect

4.5. Technical Information
- session cookies and authentication-related data required to operate the Service;

4.6. Early Access and Free Trial Information
During the early access program, we may collect and maintain information necessary to administer free trial access, including:
- registration submission dates, email verification dates, and clinic account activation dates;
- Free Trial Period start dates and expiration dates;
- trial eligibility and account access status;
- communications regarding trial participation and expiration;
- Customer preferences concerning continued use of the Service;
- feedback, support requests, and communications relating to early access participation.
Each eligible Customer’s Free Trial Period begins only after the Customer successfully verifies the registration email address and the clinic account is activated, as described in our Terms and Conditions. Submission of the registration form alone does not begin the Free Trial Period.
4.7. Subscription and Billing Information
If paid subscription plans are introduced, we may collect and process information necessary to manage paid subscriptions, including:
- selected subscription plans and subscription status;
- billing contact information and billing addresses;
- payment authorization and transaction records;
- invoices, receipts, subscription renewal information, and payment history;
- communications relating to pricing, billing, subscription changes, and cancellation requests.
If third-party payment processors are used, payment information may be processed by those providers in accordance with applicable contractual, privacy, and security requirements.
We will describe material payment-related data practices as necessary when paid services become available.
5. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- provide, operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service;
- create and manage clinic accounts, users, roles, permissions, offices, patients, documents, recommendations, invoices, receipts, notifications, and audit logs;
- authenticate Users, enforce permissions, prevent unauthorized access, and investigate security or support issues;
- generate clinic documents, PDFs, recommendations, letters, cards, receipts, invoices, and related files as directed by the Customer or authorized User;
- provide customer support, troubleshooting, product communications, administrative notices, and service emails;
- administer early access participation, Customer trial eligibility, email verification and clinic account activation dates, and Free Trial Period expiration dates;
- communicate with Customers regarding trial expiration, available subscription plans, future pricing, and changes to Service access;
- collect and evaluate voluntary feedback, reported issues, and feature requests to support Service improvements, subject to applicable confidentiality, privacy, HIPAA, and BAA obligations;
- administer paid subscriptions, billing, payment records, and related Customer communications if paid services are introduced;
- maintain backups, logs, and records needed for legal, compliance, security, and operational purposes;
- comply with applicable law, contracts, legal process, and regulatory obligations.
We do not treat participation in a free trial as authorization to charge Customers automatically for paid subscriptions.
We do not use identifiable Patient information or PHI for unrelated marketing, general product experimentation, or other purposes not authorized by applicable law and any executed BAA.
6. How We Disclose Information
We may disclose information as follows:
- To Customers and authorized Users. Clinic data is available to the Customer and its authorized Users according to roles, permissions, and clinic configuration.
- To service providers and subprocessors. We may use vendors for hosting, infrastructure, database storage, backups, security monitoring, email delivery, support, and similar services.
- To email and communication providers. If email features are enabled, transactional emails such as registration, password recovery, trial expiration reminders, subscription notices, and other Service notifications may be sent through an email provider such as Mailgun or another provider selected by us.
- To payment processing providers. If paid subscriptions are introduced, we may use authorized providers to process payments and manage subscription-related transactions.
- For legal and compliance purposes. We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, regulation, or to protect rights, safety, security, and prevent misuse.
- Business transfers. Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law and contracts.
- With consent or direction. We may disclose information when directed by the Customer, authorized User, Patient, or other authorized person, as applicable.
Disclosures involving PHI are subject to applicable HIPAA requirements and any executed BAA.
7. No Sale of Patient Data or PHI
We do not sell Patient medical information or PHI. We do not use Patient medical information or PHI for third-party advertising.
If applicable privacy law uses the terms “sell” or “share” in a broader way, we will honor applicable opt-out rights to the extent required by law.
We do not sell identifiable Patient information or PHI collected through the Service as part of the early access program.
8. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information handled by the Service. These measures may include user authentication, role-based permissions, session controls, CSRF protections, protected file delivery, audit logging, access restrictions, storage outside the public web root, backups, and monitoring.
No system is 100% secure. Customers and Users are responsible for using strong passwords, protecting their devices and credentials, assigning appropriate roles and permissions, promptly disabling access for unauthorized or former personnel, and reporting suspected security issues to us.
The availability of free early access does not reduce applicable security or confidentiality obligations.
9. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and support Customer operations.
Patient and clinic records are generally retained according to the Customer’s instructions, applicable law, and our agreements with the Customer.
Operational backups may be retained for up to three (3) years for disaster recovery, security, continuity, and related operational purposes. A shorter or longer period may apply where required by applicable law, a Business Associate Agreement, Customer instructions, litigation hold, security requirements, or other binding legal or contractual obligations.
Backup copies may not be immediately removable from all backup systems when information is deleted from the active Service and may remain until the applicable backup cycle expires.
We may retain registration dates, trial participation records, subscription communications, and relevant billing records where reasonably necessary for business administration, dispute resolution, security, and legal compliance.
When a Free Trial Period expires or a Customer chooses not to continue using the Service, Customer Data will be handled in accordance with applicable law, contractual obligations, any executed BAA, and applicable retention and deletion requirements.
Expiration of a Free Trial Period does not, by itself, authorize unrestricted retention, disclosure, or use of PHI.
10. Privacy Rights and Patient Requests
Depending on your location and the type of information involved, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, receive a copy of, or restrict certain uses of your personal information.
If you are a Patient seeking access to, correction of, deletion of, or restrictions on medical records or PHI held by a clinic, please contact the clinic directly. We may assist the clinic in responding to requests when required by contract or law.
If you are a User or website visitor and wish to make a privacy request to MyCannaDoc, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity and authority before responding.
