When you set up an account with Patient Acquisition, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Patient Acquisition that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform and the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to Patient Acquisition, including but not limited to, your name, email address, shipping address, phone number, and certain transactional information, which we do not consider to be “protected health information” or “medical information.

However, in using certain components of the Service, you may provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. Patient Acquisition is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, “HIPAA”). One or more of the Labs, Pharmacies, or Medical Groups (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and Patient Acquisition may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Pharmacy or Medical Group. It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Patient Acquisition, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies. To the extent Patient Acquisition is deemed a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, Patient Acquisition, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Patient Acquisition, the Medical Group, or the Providers (“PHI”). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws. The Medical Groups and Providers have adopted a NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you acknowledge receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Provider(s).

By accessing or using any part of the Service, you understand that any information that you submit to Patient Acquisition that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, laboratory services by the Labs or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies, is not considered Protected Information, and will be subject only to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. For purposes of clarity, information you provide to Patient Acquisition in order to register and set up an account on the Platform, including name, date of birth, username, email address, shipping address, and phone number, are not considered Protected Information.
