At BioEdge, we are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of your personal and health information in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), as well as applicable state privacy laws.

1. HIPAA Compliance

Although our website does not collect or store protected health information (PHI) directly, we ensure all interactions meet the privacy and security standards required under HIPAA. Any health-related information submitted through our site is securely transmitted to our third-party electronic health record (EHR) system, which is fully HIPAA-compliant.

2. Information We Collect

BioEdge does not store, collect, or retain personal medical data on this website. Any forms or communication tools that capture personal or health-related information are securely integrated with our EHR platform. Examples include:

 - Appointment request forms
 - Intake questionnaires
 - Contact requests

All such data is encrypted and transmitted securely to our EHR system. No PHI is retained on our web server.

3. Third-Party EHR System

We utilize a third-party HIPAA-compliant EHR platform to manage patient information, medical records, and treatment plans. All data entered through our website is securely transferred to this system and protected under their compliance protocols. We maintain Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with our EHR provider to ensure ongoing HIPAA compliance.

4. Website Security

We maintain strong security standards across our website, including:

 - SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for all pages (HTTPS)
 - Secure web hosting with firewalls and monitoring protocols
 - Routine updates to safeguard against vulnerabilities

However, we recommend that users do not include sensitive medical information in general contact forms or unsecured email communications.

5. Payment Information

BioEdge does not collect or store payment information on our website. All payments for services are handled off-site or through secure, third-party payment processors that are compliant with industry-standard security practices. No credit card or billing information is stored on our servers.

6. Cookies and Web Analytics

We may use cookies or third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to improve website performance and user experience. These tools do not collect personal health information or any data that would identify an individual as a patient.
