HIPAA Notice

1. Why this page exists

Some visitors share health related details in the "Goals & Notes" field of our consultation request form — for example, what they're hoping to optimize, or relevant health history. We want to be transparent about how that information is handled, even though HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) applies specifically to healthcare providers, health plans, and their business associates — not to a marketing and referral site like ours.

2. MyPeptidePath is not a covered entity

We do not diagnose, treat, or bill for healthcare services. We do not maintain patient medical records. Because of that, MyPeptidePath does not fall under HIPAA's definition of a "covered entity," and health information you share with us through the consultation form is not, strictly speaking, "protected health information" (PHI) in the regulatory sense until it reaches a covered provider.

3. What we do with health related details you share

Any health related information you include in your consultation request is used only to:

• Help the licensed provider we refer you to understand your goals ahead of your consultation
• Route your request to the right service or specialist

We do not use it for advertising, sell it, or share it with anyone other than the clinical provider we refer you to for the purpose of arranging your consultation. For more detail on data handling generally, see our Privacy Policy.

4. Once you're working with the licensed provider

When your consultation is scheduled and you begin working directly with the independent, licensed healthcare provider, your health information becomes subject to their HIPAA obligations as a covered entity, including their own Notice of Privacy Practices. That notice — which they will provide directly — describes your rights under HIPAA, including the right to:

• Access and receive a copy of your health records
• Request corrections to your health information
• Request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures
• Receive an accounting of certain disclosures
• File a complaint with the provider directly, or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, if you believe your privacy rights have been violated

We encourage you to review that provider's Notice of Privacy Practices directly once you begin your consultation.

5. A note on what to share with us

Because this Site is a referral tool rather than a covered healthcare provider, we recommend keeping the "Goals & Notes" field focused on what's needed to arrange your consultation, and saving detailed medical history for your direct conversation with the licensed provider, who is equipped to handle it under their own HIPAA compliant systems.

6. Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect any information you submit through this Site, as described in our Privacy Policy. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
