How is my health information protected?

Your health information is protected health information under HIPAA. Every connection is encrypted, your records are encrypted at rest in Microsoft Azure data centres in the United States, each member of staff and each provider can see only the records their work reaches, and every time someone opens, downloads or changes a record in your file it is written to an audit log.

Our Notice of Privacy Practices describes your HIPAA rights, our Privacy Policy describes everything we collect and share, and our Terms of Service set out the agreement between us. All three are linked from every page and from the portal.
