Privacy Policy for TracPrac by Vestigo Health Solutions, LLC
*Updated 11/01/2024
1. TracPracⓇ website and app (the “Application”), by Vestigo Health Solutions LLC (“Vestigo”) is a web-based secured mobile application/ facilitating subscription-based Software as a Service (SaaS) designed to record and track student clinical activity and performance progress in clinical education programs. The Application is installed on a user’s smartphone and a subscription allows enrolled students to connect the application to Vestigo’s Cloud-based Server hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to voluntarily log qualitative clinical activity for clinical education programs. Program/School personnel (“Evaluators”) may access student activity to track and evaluate student progress and performance. Students, Evaluators, and Schools may export aggregate performance reports for the designated subscription length and for any renewal terms. All Instructors/Evaluators are registered, authenticated, and managed in the system by authorized School/Program Administrators. All student activity is temporarily stored by the Application and transmitted to Vestigo’s secure Cloud-based Server (AWS) when a data connection is available. All archived data is secured with SHA-2 and 2048-bit encryption and upon expiration of subscription as inactive data. Schools/Programs contract with Vestigo to require licensed users to voluntarily enter data in TracPrac to submit for qualitative evaluation purposes, verification of data, and export activity reports for the subscription length and/or desired renewal depending on the length of the program. All performance activities are temporarily stored in the user’s App if the data connection is unavailable and when the data connection is restored it is sent to a secure Cloud-based Server (AWS).
2. Contact Information / Email Inquiries: For questions about our policy or if you wish to contact us with comments,
3. Collected info: TracPracⓇ collects (User’s each student’s name, email, school/program, postal code, phone number, and student unique identifier (collectively, “Student Information”) for transmission and storage on the Vestigo server to avoid duplication). Vestigo uses Student Information collected from users for programs to facilitate 1:1 communication between Evaluators and students for reasons related only to School/Program activity recorded in the Application, to authenticate student login credentials, to validate student attendance, geo-locate proximity or vicinity of clinical site, verify activity performance, provide data summaries for Schools/Programs & educators for accreditation purposes, render technical assistance, and perform administrative maintenance. It is also used for login validation purposes, website administrative duties, and sending info to registered TracPrac Users. Vestigo does not sell or share Student Information or data with any third parties. Vestigo restricts internal company access to Student Information to authorized and vetted employees of Vestigo Health Solutions. Students/users are accountable for recording their own qualitative performance activities and summaries in TracPrac - failure to do so does not hold Vestigo Health Solutions liable for ‘the user’s overall program success/progress.
4. Payment/REFUNDS: PayPal payment processing gateway is used to securely collect payment of annual subscription and renewal fees for subscription lengths. Current annual, and renewal subscription rates are available to subscribers upon request at info@VestigoHealthSolutions.com.

5. Tracking Tech: Location service for the proximity of clinical site (activity log of app), if enabled, is used for recording user’s proximity of location or electronic visit verification (EVV) for clinical sites specific to their school/program profile.

A User’s location is not traceable by other users and does not track if the user leaves the vicinity. Vestigo does not share user locations with other users.

The application does not contain online bulletin boards, chat rooms, newsgroups, or other public forums
