TRANSFER IN THE EVENT OF SALE OR CHANGE OF CONTROL
If the ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes or we otherwise transfer assets
relating to our business or lifelineTM to a third party, such as by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy
proceeding or otherwise, we may choose to transfer or sell your personal information. In such a
case, unless permitted otherwise by applicable law, your information would remain subject to the
promises made in this privacy statement unless you agree differently.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
When personal information is transmitted from your personal computer and/or mobile devices to
lifelineTM, it is protected in transit through the use of encryption, using the industry-standard
Transport Layer Security (TLS) which has replaced the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Our
TLS encrypts all data in transit between the mobile app and our backend server. This includes
personal information such as credit card numbers, names, and addresses. This encryption ensures©2024 RYKOV LLC. LIFELINETM is a trademark registration of RYKOV LLC. Used under
trademark license.
that the data cannot be intercepted or read over the internet. Additionally, we follow best practices
to secure and protect sensitive data at rest where applicable.
In order to help secure your personal information, access to your personal information on lifelineTM
is password-protected.
Our Transport Layer Security software is the industry standard and among the best software
available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information,
including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read over the
internet. However, since wireless networks, personal computers and the Internet are NOT a 100
percent secure environment, we cannot guarantee, ensure, or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us or provide to lifelineTM or to health care providers and which is
viewable via lifelineTM. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, you access
and use lifelineTM at your own risk. There is no guarantee that information may not be
accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical or
administrative safeguards.
It is your responsibility to protect the security of your personal computer and devices, username
and password. As a user of lifelineTM you hereby agree that you (and not RYKOV or any lifelineTM
associates, officers, staff, or the health care providers) are solely liable for viruses, worms, Trojan
horses, malware, ransomware, bots, and other electronic mechanisms designed to destroy or impair
the functioning of computer systems and residing on your personal computer and/or mobile device.
Our personnel will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited
email. Remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have
finished your session. This action will help ensure that others cannot access your personal
information and account information if you share a computer with someone else or are using a
computer in a public place where others may have access to it.

Security Measures
Protecting your confidential health information is a top priority at RYKOV. In addition to applying
stringent confidentiality policies that govern access and use of information by RYKOV personnel
and staff, we have implemented security features and methods to protect your data in lifelineTM
including the following:
o Multi-factor Authentication — We have not yet enabled the use of multi-factor authentication for lifelineTM. In the near future, this will be provided by default and you may
choose to opt out of multi-factor authentication. The data you enter at this time is you’re the
data you as a user control.
o Encryption — We encrypt the communication from your Web browser to our secure Web
server using HTTPS/TLS, and data at rest is encrypted by default.
o Firewall — Personal health information is stored in the respective secure her, and EHR
system, and through secure lifelineTM databases, protected from the Internet by a firewall.
Our services are protected by firewalls and access controls to restrict unauthorized
access.Policies and Procedures — We maintain internal policies and procedures that limit
access, use, disclosure, and retention of your information by our workforce. We follow role-
based access controls (RBAC) to limit workforce access and maintain internal policies for
secure data handling.Session timeout — After a period of inactivity, the logon session will
time out. We utilize session timeouts to ensure inactive sessions automatically expire.
o Monitoring — We monitor the Web server for evidence of unauthorized break-in attempts.
We will apply the latest security patches. Further integration work is in process of
development to leverage the monitoring tools at lifeline's disposal. Prior to your accessing
third-party EHR data and clinical data from your health provider, we will have a monitoring
system in place and will update the terms herein.
Revisions to this Privacy and Security Policy
As state and federal laws change, and as we add new features to our Web site, RYKOV may
periodically revise this Privacy and Security Policy. Any revision of this policy will apply to all
information we already have about you at the time of the change and any personal information that
is gathered about you after this time. Any future updates to this Policy are effective as soon as they
are published.
