12. My Epilepsy Diary

By using the My Epilepsy Diary feature, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

If you create a personal Diary, you are the only User who can view and edit your information unless you choose to share your information with other Users. If you chose to share your information with others including caregivers, family or your clinicians, you can view a list of who has access to your information. Your provision of access to your personal Diary by others may result in third parties misusing your information and is at your own risk. At any time you can take away someone’s ability to access your personal Diary and that person will no longer be able to read your health-related information, but they may have already seen or may retain a copy of the information. The Epilepsy Therapy Project (owner of Epilepsy.com) may use and disclose the health-related information collected from your personal Diary as described in the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for taking all reasonable steps to ensure that no unauthorized person shall have access to your Epilepsy Therapy Project passwords or accounts and for choosing a username and password on Epilepsy.com that would not compromise security on any other website. For technical help with your personal Diary and Medical Organizer, you may have to provide your user name and password to the Site. You should not enter information into the diary or medical organizer that would identify you personally.

You will not receive any payment or other reimbursement for use of the information entered into the Diary. If you choose to use the cell phone reminder program, which includes text messages (also referred to as SMS messages), you are responsible for all charges, including those assessed by your cell phone provider, incurred by you. Standard carrier rates may apply.

The Diary and Medical Organizer do not provide diagnosis, treatment or other medical advice. You should seek those from your doctors. If you are having a medical emergency, DO NOT use the Diary to communicate with your doctor.
