Introduction
This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the data protection practices of Prime Point Health and its affiliates (collectively, “Prime Point Health,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), including when you visit any Prime Point Health website that links to this Privacy Policy, including joinprimepoint.com (collectively, our “Websites”), use any affiliated mobile applications (the “Apps”), or otherwise provide data to Prime Point Health. We refer to the Websites, Apps, and other services provided by Prime Point Health together in this Privacy Policy as the “Services.” This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use. All capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms of Use.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
Health information and HIPAA privacy practices
Effective date of these health-information provisions: .
These provisions describe how Protected Health Information (“PHI”) may be used and disclosed, the privacy rights that apply to that information, and the responsibilities applicable to our handling of PHI. PHI is individually identifiable health information protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Information collected through a general website is not automatically PHI; its legal protection depends on the information, who holds it, and the circumstances.
Prime Point Health provides a technology and administrative platform. Clinical care is provided by Beluga Health, P.A. or other affiliated professional entities, as described in our Terms of Service. The treating provider, pharmacy, or other covered healthcare entity is responsible for its own Notice of Privacy Practices. That notice identifies the organization responsible for your clinical records and explains its uses, disclosures, duties, and patient rights. You may request that notice from the organization providing your care or contact our Privacy Team for assistance identifying the appropriate privacy contact.
When we create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI on behalf of a covered healthcare entity, our handling of that information is subject to the HIPAA requirements applicable to our role, our business associate obligations, and that entity’s privacy practices. We are required to safeguard PHI, limit its use and disclosure to permitted purposes, and meet applicable breach-reporting obligations. A covered entity must maintain the privacy of PHI, provide notice of its legal duties and practices, and follow its effective Notice of Privacy Practices. These website provisions supplement, and do not replace, the treating entity’s notice.
For PHI, these health-information provisions and applicable law control over any broader website, advertising, analytics, sharing, or business-transfer language elsewhere in this policy. Acceptance of this Privacy Policy does not by itself authorize a use or disclosure of PHI that requires a separate authorization.
Uses and disclosures of PHI
The following categories describe uses and disclosures that may be permitted or required under HIPAA. A category listed here is not unrestricted permission to disclose information. Each disclosure must satisfy applicable legal conditions, any more protective state law, and the responsible covered entity’s notice. When Prime Point Health acts on behalf of a covered entity, we may handle PHI only as allowed by our role and applicable agreements or as required by law.
- Treatment. PHI may be used or shared to provide, coordinate, or manage healthcare and related services, including communications among treating providers, referrals, and pharmacy coordination.
- Payment. PHI may be used or shared to obtain payment for healthcare services, including billing, collection, and, when relevant to the service, coverage verification and communications with health plans or other providers. This provision does not mean that a particular Prime Point Health service accepts insurance.
- Healthcare operations. PHI may be used or shared for quality assessment and improvement, case management, accreditation, licensing, credentialing, medical review, audits, and legal or administrative services.
- As required by law. PHI may be disclosed when required by applicable federal, state, or local law, within the limits of that requirement.
- Public health and safety. Permitted disclosures may include preventing or controlling disease, injury, or disability; reporting abuse or neglect; reporting medication reactions or product problems; and notifying people of a communicable-disease exposure or risk, when legally authorized.
- Health oversight activities. PHI may be disclosed to authorized oversight agencies for audits, investigations, inspections, licensure, and other legally authorized oversight.
- Judicial and administrative proceedings. PHI may be disclosed in response to a court or administrative order or other lawful process. A subpoena or discovery request is subject to applicable notice, protective-order, authorization, or other legal requirements; it does not automatically permit release of all records.
- Law enforcement. PHI may be disclosed for legally permitted law-enforcement purposes, including required reporting of certain wounds or injuries and compliance with qualifying legal process.
- Research. PHI may be used or disclosed for research with your authorization or another legally permitted basis, such as an approved institutional review board or privacy board waiver, with required privacy protections.
- Organ and tissue donation. PHI may be disclosed to authorized organizations involved in organ procurement, transplantation, or donation as permitted by law.
- Workers’ compensation. PHI may be disclosed as authorized for workers’ compensation or similar programs addressing work-related injuries or illnesses.
- Military and veterans. PHI of members of the armed forces may be disclosed to appropriate military authorities for purposes permitted by law.
- Inmates and persons in custody. PHI may be disclosed to a correctional institution or official with lawful custody when permitted for healthcare, health and safety, or other authorized correctional purposes.
Where the minimum-necessary standard applies, the information used, requested, or disclosed must be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the permitted purpose. Additional protections for sensitive records are described below.
Your rights regarding PHI
The following rights apply to PHI under HIPAA, subject to the law’s exceptions and any additional protections that apply. Send a written request to the provider or other covered entity maintaining the records, or contact our Privacy Team for assistance. We may verify your identity and authority and will handle requests within our responsibility or help route them to the appropriate privacy officer or records custodian.
Inspect and obtain a copy
You may request access to, or an electronic or paper copy of, PHI in the designated record set maintained about you, with certain exceptions. An electronic copy may be requested in a readily producible format or another agreed format. Any copying or delivery fee must be reasonable, cost-based, and permitted by applicable law. The responsible entity must explain a denial and any available review rights as required by law.
Request an amendment
You may request correction or amendment of PHI you believe is inaccurate or incomplete. Identify the information and explain why it should be changed. Requests may be denied on grounds allowed by law, such as when the information is accurate and complete or was created by another entity that remains available to address the request. A denial must include the required explanation and information about your right to submit a statement of disagreement.
Obtain an accounting of disclosures
You may request an accounting of certain disclosures of your PHI during the preceding six years, or a shorter period you specify. Disclosures for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations and certain other disclosures are excluded as permitted by HIPAA. The responsible entity must apply the applicable rules governing the first free accounting and any permitted fees for additional requests.
Request restrictions
You may request limits on the use or disclosure of PHI for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations, specifying the information, restriction, and recipient involved. A covered entity generally is not required to agree, except where the law requires it. If you pay for a healthcare item or service out of pocket in full, you may require the provider to restrict disclosure of that information to your health plan for payment or healthcare operations, unless disclosure is required by law. This HIPAA protection applies nationwide, not only in California.
Request confidential communications
You may request communications about your PHI by a particular method or at a particular location, such as a different telephone number or mailing address. Tell the responsible provider or privacy contact how or where you wish to be contacted. Covered healthcare providers must accommodate reasonable requests.
Receive a paper copy of the notice
You may request a paper copy of this policy and the applicable healthcare entity’s Notice of Privacy Practices even if you previously agreed to receive information electronically. Contact our Privacy Team for this policy or help obtaining the treating entity’s notice.
Receive breach notification
You have the right to receive notice of a breach of your unsecured PHI when notification is required by HIPAA or applicable state law. We will meet the reporting and notification duties applicable to our role, including notifying the responsible covered entity when we handle PHI on its behalf. The responsible entity must provide required individual notices within the time limits imposed by law.
Exercise rights through an authorized representative
A legally authorized personal representative may exercise rights on your behalf, subject to verification of authority and applicable exceptions. You may also use the complaint process described below without retaliation.
Transmission and protection of PHI
Our handling of electronic PHI is subject to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules, including applicable provisions of 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164, and other applicable privacy and security laws. PHI must be protected with the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards required for our role.
Our policy is to use protected transmission methods for PHI, including encryption through current Transport Layer Security (TLS), the successor to SSL, or equivalent safeguards appropriate to the transmission and applicable security requirements. Access controls, recipient verification, and other reasonable safeguards are also important to protect confidentiality and integrity. No technology can guarantee that every transmission or storage system will be free from security risks.
Ordinary email and text messaging may not be encrypted. You may request a confidential or more secure communication method. If you specifically request a copy of your PHI by unencrypted email, the responsible entity must first explain the risk that another person could read or access the information and confirm that you still want that delivery method. Merely emailing a records request does not automatically authorize unencrypted delivery. See HHS guidance on requested delivery methods.
Please use the clinical provider’s secure patient communication channel for sensitive health details where available. You can contact our Privacy Team to request assistance arranging a suitable delivery method.
State-specific medical-privacy protections
HIPAA protections apply to covered information throughout the United States. Applicable state laws may impose additional limits on uses and disclosures, additional consent requirements, faster access rights, or stronger security and breach-notification protections. Where a more protective law applies, we follow that requirement for information within our responsibility. Applicability depends on the information, the entity holding it, the service, and the relevant jurisdiction, rather than residence alone.
The following examples supplement the PHI provisions above. They are distinct from the consumer-privacy rights described in the California and Nevada sections below. Written consent will be obtained when the applicable law requires it, including for treatment, payment, or operations disclosures when those purposes do not qualify for a legal exception.
California
The Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) and other applicable California laws may protect medical information in addition to HIPAA. These protections include limits on disclosure and on certain marketing uses or sales of medical information. Required authorization must be obtained before those uses or disclosures unless an applicable legal exception permits them. California patients may also have additional rights to inspect records and obtain copies, including an available electronic format, under applicable law.
The right to restrict disclosure to a health plan when an item or service has been paid for out of pocket in full is described in Your rights regarding PHI and is not limited to California. Where California law allows a minor to consent to sensitive services, including certain reproductive-health, mental-health, or substance use disorder services, parental access to the related records may be restricted. Required consent and legally permitted exceptions govern those disclosures.
New York
New York provides additional confidentiality protections for HIV-related information, certain mental health records, and genetic test records, including under Public Health Law Article 27-F, Mental Hygiene Law Section 33.13, and Civil Rights Law Section 79-l, when applicable. Disclosures must meet the relevant consent, confidentiality, and redisclosure rules. Written consent will be obtained where required, including when an otherwise permitted treatment, payment, or operations disclosure does not satisfy the applicable state-law exception.
Texas
The Texas Medical Records Privacy Act, including Health and Safety Code Chapter 181, may impose additional obligations concerning PHI, including notice and authorization requirements for electronic disclosure, with statutory exceptions. PHI may be disclosed electronically for the permitted purposes described in this policy; a separate authorization will be obtained when Texas law requires one. Applicable Texas protections for mental health records and applicable substance use disorder confidentiality rules also apply. Required safeguards extend to handling, storage, and disposal of protected information.
Florida
Applicable Florida laws provide confidentiality protections for medical records, mental health records, HIV/AIDS-related information, and substance use disorder treatment records. We follow the authorization requirements and disclosure exceptions applicable to the information we handle. Written consent will be obtained when required, including for treatment, payment, or operations disclosures that do not fall within a permitted exception. Electronic records are subject to applicable privacy and security safeguards.
Illinois
Applicable Illinois laws provide additional protection for mental health and developmental disability records, HIV/AIDS-related information, and genetic testing information. Required written consent and limits on use and redisclosure apply unless a statutory exception permits disclosure. We also comply with applicable Illinois breach-notification requirements when an incident involving information within our responsibility triggers those requirements.
Massachusetts
Applicable Massachusetts laws provide additional protections for mental health records, HIV test information, and genetic testing information. We obtain the specific written consent required for disclosure unless a legal exception applies. Applicable Massachusetts requirements for protecting personal information and electronic records also govern information within their scope.
Other states may provide additional protections. Contact our Privacy Team or the privacy officer of the organization maintaining your clinical records for assistance with rights that apply to your information. Further guidance on the relationship between HIPAA and more protective state laws is available from HHS.
Privacy complaints and non-retaliation
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with our Privacy Team or the privacy officer of the covered healthcare entity responsible for the information. Include a description of the concern and how we can contact you. You may request a secure method for providing sensitive details.
You may also file a complaint with the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), without first filing a complaint with us. Visit HHS: Filing a Health Information Privacy Complaint, call 1-877-696-6775, or write to HHS Office for Civil Rights, 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20201.
We will not retaliate against you for filing a privacy complaint or exercising your privacy rights.

As discussed further below, we and our service providers, which are third-party companies that work on our behalf, may use a variety of technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting this information.
Our Websites. When you use our Websites, we collect and analyze information such as your IP address, browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or country from which you accessed the Services, software and hardware attributes (including device IDs), referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, files you download, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the terms you use in searches on our sites, the date and time you used the Services, error logs, and other similar information.

Location information. When you use the Services, we and our service providers may automatically collect general location information, such as IP address, city/state, or postal code associated with an IP address, from your computer or mobile device. This information allows us to enable access to content that varies based on a user’s general location, for example, to provide you with accurate sales tax information and to deliver content customized to your location.
We will ask your permission before collecting your precise GPS location information. In such instances, we will use your precise geolocation information to provide customized services, content, promotional offers, and other information that may be of interest to you. If you no longer wish for us and our service providers to collect and use GPS location information, you may disable the location features on your device. Please see your device manufacturer’s settings.
Our use of cookies and similar online tools. To collect the information discussed in this section, we and our service providers use web server logs, cookies, tags, SDKs, tracking pixels, and other similar tracking technologies. We use these technologies to offer you a more tailored experience.
- Web server logs: Files where website activity is stored.
- SDKs: Sets of tools and/or code that we embed in our Apps and software to allow third parties to collect information about how users interact with the Services.
- Cookies: Small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site. They enable us to recognize your computer or device; store your preferences and settings; understand the parts of the Services you have visited and used; enhance your experience by delivering and measuring the effectiveness of content and advertising tailored to your interests; perform searches and analytics; and assist with security and administrative functions.
- Tracking pixels: Sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs, these are tiny electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads, and/or email. They are designed to collect usage information like ad impressions or clicks and email open rates, measure the popularity of the Services and associated advertising, and access user cookies.
As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather information through other methods.
You can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the Help section of your browser for more information. By blocking, disabling, or managing any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Services.

For the purposes discussed in this Privacy Policy, we may combine the information that we collect through the Services with information that we receive from other sources, both online and offline, and use and share such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Aggregate/De-Identified Data. We may aggregate and/or de-identify any information collected through the Services so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device (“Aggregate/De-Identified Information”). We may use Aggregate/De-Identified Information for any purpose, including for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such data with any third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, and sponsors.
How we share and disclose your information
We may share your information for our business purposes in the following ways:
Affiliates and subsidiaries
We may share information we collect within any Prime Point Health member or group, including our subsidiaries and affiliates, our ultimate holding company, and its subsidiaries, to deliver products and services to you, ensure a consistent level of service across our products and services, and enhance our products, services, and your customer experience.
Healthcare providers and services
We share your information with healthcare providers to schedule and fulfill appointments and provide healthcare services as part of the Services; with providers to whom you send messages through our Services; and for other treatment, payment, or healthcare operations purposes, including pharmacy services, upon your request.
Service providers
We provide access to or share your information with select third parties who use the information to perform services on our behalf. They provide a variety of services to us, including billing, sales, marketing, advertising, analytics, research, customer service, shipping and fulfillment, data storage, IT and security, fraud prevention, payment processing, and auditing and legal services. These entities may also include healthcare organizations, pharmacies, and other third parties we use to support our business or in connection with the administration and support of the Services.
Protection of Prime Point Health and others
By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that we may access, retain, and disclose the information we collect and maintain about you if required to do so by law or in a good-faith belief that such access, retention, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with legal process, such as a subpoena or court order.
- Enforce our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or other contracts with you, including investigation of potential violations.
- Respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties.
- Respond to your requests for customer service.
- Protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Prime Point Health, its agents and affiliates, its users, and/or the public.
This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.
Business transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge, or partner with other companies. In such transactions, including in contemplation of such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. If a portion or all of our assets are sold or transferred to a third party, customer information, including your email address, would likely be one of the transferred business assets. If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, we will comply with such restrictions.
Public forums
Certain features of our Services make it possible for you to share comments publicly with other users. Any information that you submit through such features is not confidential, and we may use it for any purpose, including in testimonials or other marketing materials. For example, if you submit a product review on one of our sites, we may display your review, along with the name provided, if any, on other Prime Point Health websites and on third-party websites. Any information you post openly in these ways will be available to the public at large and potentially accessible through third-party search engines. Please take care when using these features.
Consent
We may also disclose your information in other ways you direct us to and when we have your consent.
Aggregate/De-Identified Information
We reserve the right to create Aggregate/De-Identified Data from the information we collect through the Services, and our sharing of such Aggregate/De-Identified Data is in our discretion.
Your marketing choices
You may instruct us not to use your contact information to contact you by email, postal mail, or phone regarding products, services, promotions, and special events that might appeal to your interests by contacting us using the information below. In commercial email messages, you can also opt out by following the instructions located at the bottom of such emails.
Regardless of your request, we may still use and share certain information as permitted by this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law. For example, you may not opt out of certain operational emails, such as those reflecting our relationship or transactions with you.
Third-party services and notice about health information
Our responsibilities for PHI we handle, including information handled by vendors acting on our behalf, are described in Health information and HIPAA privacy practices. The discussion of independent third parties below does not limit those responsibilities.
This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices, including data privacy and security processes and standards, of any third parties. These include physicians and other healthcare providers using the Services, the manufacturer of your mobile device and other IT hardware and software, and any other third-party mobile application, website, or service to which our Services may contain a link.
These third parties may at times gather information from or about you. We have no control over the privacy practices of these third parties. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third parties.
How we protect your information
Prime Point Health takes a variety of technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure. As such, you acknowledge and accept that we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to, through, or on our Services or via the Internet, and that any such transmission is at your own risk.
Where we have given you, or where you have chosen, a password that enables you to access the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Services.
Privacy information for California residents
For California medical-information protections, including CMIA, sensitive-service confidentiality, and additional record-access rights, see State-specific medical-privacy protections. The consumer-privacy provisions below apply within their statutory scope.
If you are a California resident, California law requires us to provide you with some additional information regarding how we collect, use, and share your “personal information” as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
Categories of personal information we collect and disclose
Throughout this Policy, we discuss in detail the specific pieces of personal information we collect from and about our users. Under the CCPA, we are also required to provide you with the categories of personal information we collect and the categories of third parties to which we disclose personal information.
Some of the information we collect through the Services, such as medical information, is subject to various health data privacy laws and is therefore not subject to the CCPA. The following table describes the categories of personal information we collect that are subject to the CCPA and the third parties to which we disclose it.
| Category of personal information | Categories of third parties to which we disclose |
|---|---|
| Identifiers and contact information (e.g., name, address, email address, account names) | Service providers; our affiliates; healthcare providers and services; entities for legal and fraud prevention. |
| Commercial and transactional information (e.g., information about your purchases) | Service providers; our affiliates; healthcare providers and services; entities for legal and fraud prevention. |
| Financial information (e.g., credit card information collected by our payment processors) | Payment processors; service providers; our affiliates; entities for legal and fraud prevention. |
| Internet or other network or device activity (e.g., IP address, browsing history, app usage) | Service providers; our affiliates; entities for legal and fraud prevention. |
| Geolocation information (e.g., general location and precise location, with your permission) | Service providers; our affiliates; entities for legal and fraud prevention. |
| Demographic and statistical data (e.g., your gender, interests based on products and services you use) | Service providers; our affiliates; entities for legal and fraud prevention. |
| Physical characteristics (e.g., photos of you) | Service providers; our affiliates. |
| User-generated content (e.g., information you choose to post in our online forums) | Service providers; our affiliates; entities for legal and fraud prevention. |
| Customer service data (e.g., information you provide through a chat or call with Prime Point Health’s Care Team) | Service providers; our affiliates; healthcare providers and services; entities for legal and fraud prevention. |
The business purposes for which we use the personal information we collect are: manage, facilitate, and improve the Services; research, marketing, and analytics; communicate with users; technical support and customer service; security and fraud prevention; and legal compliance and defense. For more detailed information about how we use and share your personal information, please see Purposes for how we use your information and How we share and disclose your information above.
Your California privacy rights
CCPA rights disclosure. If you are a California resident, the CCPA allows you to make certain requests about your personal information. Specifically, the CCPA allows you to request that we:
- Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share or disclose personal information.
- Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
- Delete certain information we have about you.
The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against, as provided for in applicable law, for exercising your rights.
Certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you. We also will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request.
If you are a California resident and would like to exercise any of your data rights under California law, email us at Care@Joinprimepoint.com.
Please include your full name, email address, and residential address associated with your use of our Services, along with the rights you would like to exercise, so that we can process your request in an efficient manner. If you would like to receive a copy of your medical record in connection with your request, please indicate that in your email message. Sending a request by email does not automatically authorize delivery of your medical record by unencrypted email. If you request that delivery method, the responsible entity will explain the transmission risks and confirm your choice, as described in Transmission and protection of PHI.
Sale of personal information
Prime Point Health does not, and will not, sell information that identifies you, such as your name, email address, phone number, or postal address. Like many companies with an Internet presence, we do work with third parties that provide marketing and advertising services to us, including interest-based advertising services, and these third parties may place tags, pixels, cookies, beacons, and other similar tracking mechanisms on our Website and App and collect your online identifiers.
Because of the CCPA’s broad definitions of “sale” and “personal information,” making certain online identifiers available to these companies so that they can provide marketing and advertising services to Prime Point Health may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA.
To opt out of sharing your information with participating third parties for interest-based advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out resources, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out tool, and Your Online Choices. These opt-outs are device and browser based, so you will need to opt out on each of your devices and browsers. For more information, see Online analytics and advertising above.
Shine the Light disclosure. The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information, as defined in the Shine the Light law, with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
Privacy information for Nevada residents
Under Nevada law, certain Nevada consumers may opt out of the sale of “personally identifiable information” for monetary consideration, as those terms are defined under Nevada law, to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons.
We do not engage in such activity; however, if you are a Nevada resident who has purchased services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales under Nevada law by emailing Care@Joinprimepoint.com. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request. Once verified, we will maintain your request in the event our practices change.
Retention of your information
We keep your information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.
Revisions to our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our Services, or advances in technology. We will make the revised Privacy Policy accessible through the Services, so you should review it periodically. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the document.
You are responsible for periodically monitoring and reviewing any updates to the Privacy Policy. If we make a material change to the Privacy Policy, we will provide you with appropriate notice in accordance with legal requirements. Your continued use of our Websites or Apps after such amendments, and notice where applicable, will be deemed your acknowledgment of these changes to this Privacy Policy.
Changes to the health-information provisions
We may revise these health-information provisions when our lawful privacy practices change. To the extent permitted by law and our applicable obligations, revised provisions may apply to PHI we already maintain as well as information received in the future. A policy revision does not itself authorize a new use or disclosure that requires your authorization or exceeds our authority under a provider agreement.
We will post the current policy and its effective date on this page and provide a paper copy on request. The responsible covered healthcare entity must revise and make available its own Notice of Privacy Practices, including posting at its office and on its website and providing notice to patients where required. Contact our Privacy Team for help obtaining the current notice for your care provider.
Contacting us
