Corporate Privacy Policy

Introduction

Our Corporate Privacy Policy exists to inform our clients about what information Byte Sized Solutions (BSS) collects about clients and their patients, and how we use that information to provide the services requested by our clients. This Policy also outlines how our clients can verify the accuracy of this information or request that we delete, change, or update information.

BSS maintains a strong commitment to protect the data of our clients and their patients, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards to safeguard that data.

Who We Are

BSS is a leader in software solutions for health care providers. Pursuant to the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), BSS clients are Covered Entities, and BSS is considered a Business Associate of our clients. HIPAA mandates strict control of any personally identifiable information of patients who utilize the services of Covered Entities. Therefore, and as required by Federal law, BSS enters into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with all of our clients for which BSS will have access to PHI, an agreement which mandates strict protection for patient information received from the Covered Entity. BSS does not provide any direct services to or receive any information directly from patients.

Information We Collect

Pursuant to the Business Associate Agreement in place with each and every client for which BSS has access to PHI, BSS has legal permission to access certain Covered Entity client data, including some data relating to patients. All patients who provide information to a Covered Entity have given legal permission for that information to be shared with the Covered Entity’s Business Associates like BSS. All of the information collected by BSS from our clients is information that BSS has legal authority to access, use, and store. BSS will only access or store any data essential to fulfill the requirements of our duties with and to our clients.

How We Use Client Information

In order to provide the various services identified in the client’s Business Associate Agreement, BSS may retain and utilize client or patient personal data collected from our products, whether in the course of maintaining those products’ functionality or through further development of those or similar products. Such data may be shared with our partners or the other vendors whom we use to facilitate the functionality of our products. Any data shared with our partners or vendors is subject to the terms of the Business Associate Agreement, which requires strenuous data protection procedures. We do not share client data with any other affiliates or use client or patient personal data for any purposes beyond those specifically called for under the Business Associate Agreement.

How We Protect Client Information

BSS remains committed to keeping the data provided by clients secure, and we will take all reasonable and required precautions to protect client and patient personal data from loss, misuse, or alteration.

Vendors, contractors, and business associates of BSS who have access to client information, including patient personal data, are bound by the same standards as BSS, as required by federal and state laws.

How We May Share Client Data

BSS will not share, trade, or sell client data, including personal data of clients’ patients, to be used by any business except for the purposes stated within the client’s Business Associate Agreement. Additionally, aggregated and statistical patient data of a client may be shared with that client in a manner that does not identify patients personally. All such data sharing is pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Business Associate Agreement entered into between BSS and our client.

Pursuant to that Business Associate Agreement, BSS may share client or patient personal data with any person or company that acquires BSS’s business or any portion of the BSS business to which client or patient personal data relates. BSS will ensure that any person or company to which client data (including patient personal data) is transferred agrees to abide by the same privacy obligations as BSS.

BSS also reserves the right to share client or patient personal data to respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities or where required by Federal or State law. We may also share client data in responding to requests from law enforcement officials, government bodies, or judicial authorities to address matters of personal or public safety, national security, litigation, investigations (including data security incident investigations), and other legal matters where the data is pertinent.

How to Review or Change Client Information

It is our goal to ensure that any information BSS receives from our clients is entirely accurate. Clients have a right to correct information provided to BSS pursuant to the Business Associate Agreement. At any time, the authorized contact of a client can contact us via the email address or phone number provided on our website, in order to do any of the following:

  • Learn what data we have from the client, if any.
  • Change/correct any data we have about the client or client’s patients.
