Overview of the Product and Platform and Disclosure of Your Information
A principal purpose of the MedicAlert Product and related Services is to provide information about you to first responders, health care personnel, and related others in the event of an emergency affecting you. By purchasing the Product or receiving related Services, including paid subscription services, from MedicAlert, and/or any partners or third parties that are authorized by MedicAlert to sell MedicAlert Products and Services, you authorize MedicAlert to release medical and other confidential information about you during emergencies to first responders, health care personnel, and others, which may or may not be designated by you.
The Product includes MedicAlert’s toll-free number where MedicAlert’s emergency response team is available 24/7 to provide information to such first responders, health care personnel, and related others. To help get the aid you need in an emergency situation, you may also call 911 through your phone, or from any phone number you have shared with MedicAlert, and when the phone number that contacted 911 matches any of the phone numbers you have shared with MedicAlert, where available, or when someone provides the MedicAlert identification number to the 911 dispatcher, MedicAlert will share your information with the 911 dispatcher. The information we share with the 911 dispatcher is your name and the gender that you have provided to MedicAlert, as well as a calculated age based on the date of birth you have provided to MedicAlert. When sharing your information with the 911 dispatcher, we will also pass along your information to RapidSOS, which provides a technology platform that enables data sharing from MedicAlert to 911 dispatchers. RapidSOS’s emergency platform will only transmit the MedicAlert data with 911 dispatchers in the United States. In order to protect you, MedicAlert and RapidSOS may retain information about the times when the 911 dispatcher received your information. Any summary of such 911 access information that MedicAlert or RapidSOS keeps will be de-identified so that it does not contain any information that can be linked to you. MedicAlert and RapidSOS will never record or listen to your or any 911 calls or make a transcript of such calls. However, all calls, emails, and other communications between you and MedicAlert may be recorded.MedicAlert attempts to provide accurate descriptions, availability, and pricing of the Product and paid Services on the Website. MedicAlert does not warrant, however, that the descriptions, availability, and pricing are current or error-free.

Please notify MedicAlert Member Services at 1-800-432-5378 before the Renewal Date of any changes to your email, account, or billing information. Should you decide to cancel prior to your Renewal Date, your cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current last day of the subscription term for which you have already paid. MedicAlert reserves the right to modify from time to time the subscription fee. MedicAlert will make every attempt to communicate in advance any price change, but MedicAlert is not required to do so.
