HIPAA
Compliance and Protected Health Information
The Company operates as a platform that facilitates connections between patients and
licensed nursing professionals. In doing so, the Company may function as a Business
Associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”)
with respect to certain covered entity partners. Where applicable, we enter into Business
Associate Agreements (“BAAs”) with covered entities as required by law.

nursing visit records — may constitute Protected Health Information (“PHI”) under HIPAA. We
handle such information in accordance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule,
including the minimum necessary standard when using or disclosing PHI.
In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI, we will notify affected individuals and, where
required, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) within 60 days of
discovery of the breach, in accordance with the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (45 C.F.R. §§
164.400–414).

provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment transactions and
patient history, patient communication with Nurse will be encrypted.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or

responsible
for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the App like
message boards or any communication with a Service Provider. The information you share in
public areas may be viewed by any user of the App.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not
completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot
guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through our App. Any
transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for
circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which
it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Specific retention periods:
• Account and profile data: retained for the duration of your account and for 2 years
following account deletion, unless a longer period is required by law.
• Nursing visit records and clinical communications: retained for a minimum of 7 years in
accordance with applicable state medical records retention laws, or longer where required.
• Payment transaction records: retained for 7 years for financial and tax compliance
purposes.
• Biometric data: destroyed within 3 years of collection or when the original purpose has
been satisfied, whichever occurs first.

the breach and respond in a manner appropriate to the specific circumstances. We maintain a

discovery, as required by the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule. For breaches involving non-PHI
personal information, we will provide notice to affected individuals and applicable state
regulators within the timeframes required by applicable state data breach notification laws
(which range from 30 to 90 days depending on state).
To report a potential security issue or vulnerability, please contact us at

access controls limiting internal access to personal and clinical data, and annual
third-party security assessments.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Payment
