Last Updated April 29, 2014
OrthoFi Inc. ("Company", "we", or "us") recognizes the importance of protecting all information that you, our online visitor, may choose to provide to us.
To further this commitment, we have adopted this Online Privacy Policy to tell you how we collect, store, and use the information you provide to us online.
This Online Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may
provide when you visit the website portal.orthofi.com (our “Website”) and our practices for collecting, using,
maintaining, protecting and disclosing that information. Please read this Online Privacy Policy carefully to

COLLECTION AND USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
In order to setup your account with OrthoFi, your orthodontist has disclosed to OrthoFi certain nonpublic personal information about you.
This information may include your name, address, and email address. We also collect certain nonpublic information from you directly.
This information may include your social Security number, telephone numbers, bank or credit card account numbers, insurance information, and medical history.
Whatever the purpose may be, we will only collect information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests and our legitimate business objectives.
For example, we use this bank or credit card information to facilitate the transfer of funds from your bank or credit card account to your orthodontist to pay for their services.
When you view your account information, we may ask you to provide missing information.
We use this information if we need to contact you about your account.
You can review and change your personal information by logging into the Website and visiting your account
profile page. You may also send us an e-mail at privacy@orthofi.com to request access to, correct or delete
any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your personal information except by
also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the
change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
DISCLOSING YOUR INFORMATION
We will not disclose any of the information we collect, as described above, to any party other than you or your orthodontist unless permitted or required by law.
DISCLOSURES PERMITTED OR REQUIRED BY LAW

subsidiaries and affiliates and to contractors, service providers and other third parties we use to support our
business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it
only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. We may disclose such information to a buyer or other
successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or
transfer of some or all of the Company's assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy,
liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by the Company about our Website users

INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
We collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you. For example, when you come to our website, we collect your IP address.
An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the Internet, like your ISP (Internet service provider).
Standing alone, however, your IP address is not personally identifiable. We store your IP address, information about your browser and your computer device

visit various areas of our websites. We may combine this information with personal information.
Our websites also use “cookies” to collect and store information. Cookies are pieces of information that a website sends to your computer while you are
viewing the website. We use cookies for a variety of purposes. For example, when you return to our websites after logging in, cookies provide information
to the website so that the website will remember who you are. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is sent, or you can choose
to turn off all cookies. You can do this through your browser (e.g., Chrome or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look
at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your
web experience smoother, and some of our services may not function properly.
KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
The Security and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to us. That’s why we have technical, administrative,
and physical Security measures in place to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and improper use.
For example, the areas of our website that enable or require you to submit personal information online use encryption to protect that information.
We also review our Security procedures periodically to consider appropriate new technology and updated methods.
But, despite our reasonable efforts, no Security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
This Website is intended for use only by adults. We do not knowingly solicit or collect information from children under the age of 18.
KEEPING UP-TO-DATE
We want you to be fully informed about how we will protect your privacy. We may change our privacy policy in the future and will notify you of changes in
