REGULATION
The privacy and security of patients’ personal information is important to us. While we are not considered a “covered entity” as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), a federal law designed to protect health insurance coverage for individuals and their families, we nevertheless do our best to follow the privacy and security requirements established by HIPAA as privacy and security guidelines for our use, disclosure and protection of personal information obtained through the Services.
SECURITY
We are concerned about safeguarding your personal information. We provide physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information we process and maintain. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide reasonable security for information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential data privacy and security breaches. It is important that you protect and maintain the security of your account credentials and you need to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account. We may use third-party products and services to secure or store your information. For example, your information is stored and maintained on the HITRUST certified cloud-based infrastructure created and maintained by Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, we note that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Please understand that any information you transfer to us is done at your own risk.
If we learn of a data privacy or security breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Services or otherwise providing us with personal information, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. We may post a notice on the Services if a data privacy or security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances.
