This may include the following “Personal Information:”
- Identification information such as name, log-in, password, organization, mail and email addresses, and phone number(s).

The information we collect from Users for the App does not qualify as “protected health information” or “PHI” as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended from time to time (“HIPAA”), because the information is (i) willingly disclosed by Users to IntelliCentrics, either directly by a User or indirectly by another person who has been granted valid authorization by the User or third party to disclose such information, removing its HIPAA-protected status; (ii) not used or disclosed by IntelliCentrics for purposes of healthcare treatment, payment or operations by a healthcare provider or health plan, thus not qualifying as a use or disclosure by a “covered entity” under HIPAA; and (iii) not used by IntelliCentrics for or on behalf of a covered entity for purposes of a User’s healthcare treatment, payment or operations, thus not qualifying as a use or disclosure as a “business associate” under HIPAA. IntelliCentrics takes extra precautions with respect to the User information it collects, however, and has implemented this Privacy Policy and related security safeguards to protect such information from inappropriate access or use.
