Junum Application Privacy Policy


Last Updated: August 26, 2024

Overview

RDF Technology, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (doing business as “Junum”) builds Electronic Health Records (EHR)-integrated software applications and tools for the intended purpose of improving the quality of clinical malnutrition diagnosis documentation within an inpatient hospital setting. Junum products are intended for use only by authorized clinicians of a health system to assess, diagnose and document malnutrition for improved care coordination and to capture appropriate hospital revenue from the accurate diagnosis of malnutrition. As such, Junum collects personal information for a number of purposes as described in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about how Junum collects and uses information entered directly into the app or obtained through application programming interfaces (APIs) with our EHR-integration partners when the app is used by authorized clinicians. Junum may update this Privacy Policy at any time we deem appropriate. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to be informed of how we are protecting your information.

  • How We Collect Data

    We may collect the data detailed above in two different ways:

  • Data is collected automatically through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) when you launch our Application from within your EHR.
