Safeguards to protect your information
The information collected by Lotus Weight Loss & Wellness LLC and stored on secure servers, is protected by a combination of technical, administrative, and physical security safeguards, such as authentication, encryption, backups, and access controls. If Lotus Weight Loss & Wellness LLC learns of a security concern, we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective steps, if available, through the email address that you have provided to us or by a notification on the website. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive such notices in writing.
You are solely responsible for protecting information entered or generated via the services that is stored on your computer. Lotus Weight Loss & Wellness LLC has no access to or control over your computer’s security settings, and it is up to you to implement any device-level security features and protections you feel are appropriate (e.g., password protection, encryption, remote wipe capability, etc.). We recommend that you take any and all appropriate steps to secure any device that you use to access our services.
Notwithstanding any of the steps taken by us, it is not possible to guarantee the security or integrity of data transmitted over the Internet. There is no guarantee that your personal data will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards. Therefore, we do not and cannot ensure or warrant the security or integrity of any personal data you transmit to us and you transmit such personal data at your own risk.
How can you protect your personal data?
In addition to securing your device, as discussed above, we will never send you an email requesting confidential information such as account numbers, usernames, passwords, or social security numbers, and you should never respond to any email requesting such information. If you receive such an email purportedly from Lotus Weight Loss & Wellness LLC, do not respond to the e‐ mail and do not click on any links and/or open any attachments.
You are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to protect your user ID, password, and other user account information from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies. You should immediately notify Lotus Weight Loss & Wellness LLC if you know of or suspect any unauthorized use or disclosure of your user ID, password, and/or other user account information, or any other security concern.
How can you update, correct, or delete personal data?
You can change your email address and other contact information by updating your information on the patient portal. If you need to make changes or corrections to other information, you may email Lotus Weight Loss & Wellness LLC. Please note that in order to comply with certain requests to limit use of your personal data, we may need to terminate your account and your ability to access and use the services, and you agree that we will not be liable to you for such termination or any refunds of prepaid fees paid by you. You can deactivate your account by logging in and canceling your account through the platform.
Although we will use reasonable efforts to do so, you understand that it may not be technologically possible to remove from our systems every record of your personal data. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means a copy of your personal data may exist in a nonerasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate or remove.
