Privacy Policy


Last updated April 18, 2025


Focused Care values you and your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and treat information when we provide our Services to hospitals, healthcare organizations, associations, and other customers (each an “Organization”) for use by the Organization’s administrator or other representative (“Administrator”) and the healthcare practitioners, or other individuals that the Organization permits to register as users (each a “User”). Our “Services” include https://focusedcare.net and other websites we own or operate (the “Site”), our web-based services, digital properties, and applications, as well as your communications with us. The Site primarily serves the purpose of informing current and potential new customers about the various Services we offer on a business-to-business basis, though we may designate certain areas of the Site to serve as a platform from which Focused Care provides consumer access to specified products or services. 

Focused Care understands that your privacy is important, and we want you to have a clear understanding of how we collect and treat your information. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy in full to understand in detail how we collect and use information. Here is a summary of our practices, as detailed in this Privacy Policy:

In this Privacy Policy, Focused Care, Inc. and our affiliates, corporate parent(s), and subsidiaries are collectively called “Focused Care,” “we” or “us.” This Privacy Policy is part of and governed by our Terms of Use.

This Privacy Policy describes how Focused Care collects and treats information through all of our Services.

Any additional, separate privacy notices that we provide to you will also be considered part of this Privacy Policy. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by a hospital, university, healthcare organization, association, or other third party, even if the third party is an Organization that uses Focused Care.

“Personal Information”
When we say, “Personal Information,” we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual consumer or household. For our purposes, Personal Information typically falls within one or more of these categories: 


Note that information may not be protected by privacy laws if it is: (i) publicly available (ii) aggregated, meaning data about a group or category of services or users from which individual identities and other Personal Information has been removed; or (iii) deidentified so that it cannot be easily linked back to the individual.


Collecting and Using Your Personal Information

If you use our Services via a Organization, the Organization is responsible for obtaining your consent and the Organization’s Administrator may be able to access, maintain, and share any Personal Information associated with your User account.

Focused Care will update this Privacy Policy or otherwise notify you and obtain your consent where required under applicable law before we collect additional categories of Personal Information or use your Personal Information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose stated at the time of collection.


About Retention Periods
Focused Care retains Personal Information for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Sometimes our retention periods are determined by the regulations or policies that apply to the Organizations or Users of a given Service. This means Focused Care may be required to retain Personal Information for a specified period or indefinitely, unless or until a User requests that we delete some or all of their Personal Information. Focused Care’s data retention practices are designed to ensure that our Services to serve as a secure repository of information in healthcare settings, comply with regulatory requirements, and support a policy of good data hygiene.

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.


About Disclosure to Third Parties
We only disclose your Personal Information in limited circumstances and for specific purposes. If any Service allows for social connectivity or sharing, we will notify you of the privacy implications of using the feature before you proceed. In the last 12 months, Focused Care has disclosed all categories of Personal Information that we collected for a business purpose to these recipients:


Your Organization


Our Service Organizations


Our Affiliates


Law enforcement or other governmental agencies as permitted or required by law.


Other Third Parties, as permitted by applicable law.


Affiliates. We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honor this privacy notice. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.


International Data Transfers

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.


About Aggregated and Deidentified Information
Focused Care may use fully anonymized, deidentified or aggregated data generated using Personal Information to assist with our research, marketing, advertising, or other purposes. This information is not your Personal Information, so we may do this for our purposes and without restriction. If we ever have a data collection mechanism specifically intended for a Organization’s use, we will notify you that the data is being collected for that specific purpose and help you understand the privacy implications before you use it. 


Data Protection Officer (DPO)

To ensure ongoing compliance with the GDPR, we have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Our DPO is responsible for overseeing our data protection strategies and implementation to secure compliance with GDPR requirements. You can contact our DPO at info@focusedsoftware.com.


Health and Educational Privacy

Most of Focused Care Services are not designed to collect or process information that is protected under health privacy laws or education privacy laws. This means Users should never submit protected health information or educational information unless instructed to by the User’s Organization. If Focused Care collects or processes protected health information, we do so as a “business associate” to the Organization as the “covered entity” under HIPAA. If your Organization is an educational institution and instructs us to collect your FERPA-protected educational information, Focused Care is considered a “school official” to the Organization under FERPA and equivalent laws. In either case, your Organization instructs our activities with this data and your Organization (not Focused Care) is responsible for all decisions for its use, disclosure, and security. Your Organization is solely responsible for ensuring that its and your use of the Services comply with applicable health and education privacy laws. Please contact your Organization if you have questions. 


Children's Privacy

Our Services are designed for individuals aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 16 without verification of parent or guardian consent. If you believe we might have any information collected online from a child under 16, or if you become aware of any unauthorized submission of information to us, please contact us at info@focusedsoftware.com and we will delete that information from our systems.

Focused Care cannot control the privacy practices of Organizations. If a Organization chooses to input children’s Personal Information on the Services, it is done under their own privacy practices, not ours. We are not responsible for any Organization’s or other party’s compliance or noncompliance with laws or regulations. Please contact the Organization directly if you have questions about their privacy practices. 

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, please contact us at info@focusedsoftware.com. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.


Data Protection for Students

In compliance with FERPA, we protect the privacy of student education records and ensure that information is only disclosed with proper consent or as permitted by law. We do not share student information with third parties without explicit consent from the student’s parent or guardian, except as allowed by FERPA.


Your Privacy Choices and Controls
Focused Care provides you with methods to directly control your Personal Information on the Services. 


Your Account Profile and Device Settings
Users can sign into their accounts at any time to change or delete certain Personal Information. As an information repository for Organizations, some of the Personal Information on your account cannot be deleted. Please contact your Organization if you wish to make changes to your account but are not able to do so yourself. You can also control the data we collect by adjusting your device settings.


Focused Care Emails
If you provide us with your email address, we may send you informational or support emails or, if you opt-in, marketing emails about the Services. You can opt-out of marketing emails but not our support or transactions emails. To opt-out, change your preferences via the links provided in the emails, email 
info@focusedsoftware.com.


Texting Consent
If you provide us with your wireless number, you consent to Focused Care sending you text messages for informational or authentication purposes. The number of texts that we send to you will be based on your circumstances and requests. You can unsubscribe from text messages by replying STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE to any of these text messages. Messaging and data charges may apply to any text message you receive or send. Please contact your wireless carrier if you have questions about messaging or data charges.


Do Not Track Requests
Do Not Track signals are signals sent through a browser informing us that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy.


Consumer Privacy Requests
If you are a User and you wish to exercise your rights beyond the methods provided, express concerns, lodge a complaint, or obtain additional information about the use of your Personal Information, please contact your Organization. USERS MUST DIRECT PRIVACY INQUIRIES TO THEIR ORGANIZATION.

Otherwise, you may email Focused Care at info@focusedsoftware.com. We will relay your request to your Organization or fulfill it directly if we can. Focused Care does not charge a fee to process or respond to a verifiable request unless we have legal grounds to do so. In that case, we will tell you the cost estimate and why we are charging the fee before completing your request. We may be unable to fulfill some or all of your request, for example, if your request falls within a statutory exception or if fulfilling your request would prevent us from complying with a statutory or contractual obligation.


Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live or are located, you may have certain rights over your Personal Information. If you visit our Site or inquire about our Services on behalf of a Organization, Focused Care collects and processes your Personal Information as a business or data controller. For all other purposes, Focused Care acts as a service provider or data processor of your Personal Information. The following sections outline legally required and courtesy notices of privacy rights that may be available to you depending on where you live and how you interact with Focused Care. 


Privacy Rights Available in the United States

GDPR Compliance Measures

Our GDPR compliance includes data protection impact assessments, enhanced data protection features in our IT infrastructure, and regular GDPR training for our staff.

If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies.
