We take commercially reasonable security measures to ensure that your information is treated securely and is protected from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in processing and the nature of such data, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
For PHI, we implement physical, technical, and administrative safeguards in compliance with HIPAA's Security Rule to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI. We maintain formal HIPAA compliance programs and undergo regular security assessments. These include:
- Encryption of PHI both in transit and at rest
- Role-based access controls
- Regular security risk assessments

- Regular auditing of system access and changes
- Workforce training on privacy and security policies and procedures
- Secure, HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure
Additionally, we provide HIPAA training to our workforce members who may have access to PHI.
Unfortunately, the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. In particular, e-mail sent to or from the Website and/or the Platform may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail or other electronic means. We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure of your information.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information through the Website and the Platform without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided personal information to us, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.
