ApneaRx takes steps to safeguard your personal information through vigorous physical, electronic, and operational policies and practices:

  • Session Time-Outs: We employ session time-outs to protect your account. You will be logged out of the site after thirty minutes. This reduces the risk of others being able to access your account if you leave your computer unattended.
  • Protection of Account Numbers: After you have entered your account numbers, we will never display your account number.
  • Secure, Off-Site Hosting: We store your personal data such as your home address and contact information in a virtual private cloud hosted by Amazon Web Services.
  • Defined Service Access points: Data can only be read or written through defined service access points, the use of which is password-protected and limited to only those employees or third parties who have a need to know.
  • Secure Socket Layer certificate technology: We equip our servers with SSL certificate technology to provide a safe and secure channel to visit the ApneaRx site.
  • Data encryption: SSL also ensures that all data entered into the ApneaRx site is encrypted. For further encryption protection, we require a 128-bit secure browser for transactions.
  • Network firewalls: There is no inbound communication allowed between data and application servers and the Internet.
Communications from ApneaRx

ApneaRx may send you notifications regarding your account. You cannot opt out of these notifications as they are in place to help protect your legal and security, but you can opt out of any additional marketing communications. You can do this by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing communications you receive.

To protect your account, ApneaRx may send you notifications that confirm actions taken on your account. These notifications are typically sent to notify you of a change in status, or for legal or security purposes. For example, you may receive notifications confirming your registration and the successful submission of application requests, as well as requests from us for additional information and reminders to sign your loan agreement.

You cannot opt out of these notifications as they are in place to protect the security of your account and personal information. We do this for your own protection so that you can be sure no one else is making changes to your account without your knowledge. However, the security offered by these notifications can be undermined if other people have access to your email account.

Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site. Even under the best of circumstances, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Any transmission of personal information is done at your own risk. In the event of a data breach, we will comply with the notification guidelines required by federal law as well as the laws of each state in which we do business.
