This Policy does not define how we ensure our adherence to Federal and State laws regarding your Protected Health Information, including the Health Insurance and Portability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Our policies regarding the processing of your Protected Health Information (“PHI”) are covered in our Notice of Privacy Practices (“HIPAA Privacy Practices”). Our HIPAA Privacy Practices define how we preserve the privacy of your Protected Health Information, and you should refer to that document, not this one, regarding all processes associated with your healthcare records and other PHI.
Carbon Health websites and applications, including carbonhealth.com that do not require secure accounts and authentication, do not host Protected Health Information (“PHI”). Our websites and applications that do not host PHI are available to everyone on the internet, and represent information made generally available by us, and these sites receive information made available by visitors and users.
While it is important to understand the difference between the content generally exchanged between us and users of our websites and applications that do not require you to have an account, and the information shared by, and with, Carbon Health through our private sites and applications that require authorized accounts, for all personal information you share with us the following holds true:
We do not sell any personal information that may have been received by any Carbon Health websites or applications you may have visited or otherwise used.
Furthermore, we have committed that:
In addition to these protections that we provide for all data, we do also employ a great number of additional privacy measures and restrictions specific to your PHI as detailed in ourHIPAA Privacy Practices.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure.

Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website, in your operating system, or in the Application.
