Privacy & HIPAA Policy

Effective Date: May 14, 2026 — Version 2.0

MyMedAccess Inc. — 1050 NW 15th Street, Suite 201A, Boca Raton, FL 33486 — connect@mymedaccess.io

1. Introduction and Scope

MyMedAccess Inc. ("we," "our," or "us") operates a consumer-facing personal health record application (the "App" or "Service") that enables adult patients to securely aggregate, view, manage, and share their health information. The App retrieves records from healthcare providers and health plans via FHIR-based APIs and transmits them directly to the user's device. MyMedAccess does not persistently store PHI on its own servers, although limited technical metadata (such as session logs, device identifiers, and authentication credentials) is retained server-side as described in Section 3.3.

This Privacy & HIPAA Policy ("Policy") describes how we collect, use, maintain, disclose, and protect health information. It is intended to satisfy the requirements of:

  • The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and implementing regulations, including the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164);
  • The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act;
  • The CARIN Alliance Code of Conduct for Consumer-Facing Applications (CARIN-CFA); and
  • Applicable state privacy and data protection laws.

In all uses and disclosures of your protected health information, we apply the minimum necessary standard as required by 45 C.F.R. § 164.502(b). Where state law provides greater privacy protections than HIPAA, the more protective standard shall apply.

2. Key Definitions

  • Protected Health Information (PHI): Individually identifiable health information created, received, maintained, or transmitted by a HIPAA-covered entity or business associate, including diagnosis codes, medication records, lab results, appointment history, and billing information.
  • Personal Health Data: Health-related information provided directly by the user, including manually logged symptoms, medications, fitness data, and other self-reported health information. Where such data constitutes PHI, it is treated as such under this Policy.
  • FHIR API: Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources application programming interface, a standard used to retrieve electronic health records from healthcare providers and health plans in accordance with CMS interoperability rules.
  • Business Associate: A person or entity that performs functions on behalf of a covered entity involving the use or disclosure of PHI. MyMedAccess enters into Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all applicable third-party vendors.
  • Designated Record Set (DRS): Medical records and billing records maintained by a covered healthcare provider, and enrollment, payment, and case management records maintained by a health plan, used to make decisions about individuals.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information Retrieved via FHIR API

When you authorize MyMedAccess to connect to your healthcare provider or health plan, we may retrieve:

  • Clinical records (diagnoses, conditions, procedures, immunizations)
  • Medication history and prescriptions
  • Laboratory and diagnostic test results
  • Allergies and adverse reactions
  • Vital signs and biometric measurements
  • Care team and provider information
  • Health insurance and coverage information
  • Explanations of benefits (EOBs) and claims data

3.2 Information You Enter Directly

Users may optionally enter:

  • Symptoms, health observations, and personal notes
  • Over-the-counter medications and supplements
  • Fitness, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle data
  • Emergency contact and caregiver information

3.3 Technical and Usage Information

We collect limited technical data necessary to operate the App securely, including:

  • Device identifiers and operating system information
  • App usage logs, session timestamps, and technical diagnostics
  • Authentication credentials (securely hashed; never stored in plaintext)
  • IP addresses and access timestamps for security and audit purposes

We do not collect data beyond what is necessary for the services you have authorized. We do not use tracking pixels, third-party advertising SDKs, or behavioral advertising technologies.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for the following purposes:

  • Treatment Support: Displaying, organizing, and presenting your health records to you and authorized care team members you designate.
  • Healthcare Operations: Supporting administrative and operational functions necessary to provide the Service, including quality and security improvement.
  • Communication: Sending you notifications about your documents, provider messages, and important account updates.
  • Security: Maintaining audit trails, detecting unauthorized access, and protecting the integrity of your data.
  • User-Directed Sharing: Transmitting your health records to third parties you expressly designate (e.g., a specialist or family member), solely at your direction.
  • Compliance: Fulfilling our legal obligations under HIPAA, applicable state laws, and valid legal process.
  • De-identified Analytics: MyMedAccess does not currently produce de-identified analytics. We reserve the right to do so in the future, subject to compliance with HIPAA de-identification standards (45 C.F.R. § 164.514) and with prior notice to users as required by this Policy.

AI-Assisted Features: MyMedAccess uses artificial intelligence (including large language models via AWS Bedrock) to generate plain-language summaries of laboratory results. This feature is off by default. You must affirmatively opt in through the Privacy & Settings screen before any health data is shared with an AI service. You may opt out at any time. AI-generated summaries are informational only and do not constitute medical advice or clinical decisions. No automated decisions with legal or significant effects are made using AI without your explicit consent.

We do NOT use your PHI or personal health data for:

  • Targeted advertising or behavioral marketing
  • Sale to third parties for commercial purposes
  • Automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without your explicit consent
  • Re-identification of de-identified data
  • Training AI or machine learning models without your explicit opt-in consent

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or license your personal health information to any third party for any purpose. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize sharing, such as generating a QR code to share records with a provider.
  • Third-Party Information in Your Records: When you share health records through the QR sharing flow, information about third parties mentioned in those records — including emergency contacts, family members, or other individuals referenced in clinical notes — may be visible to the receiving provider. Please review the contents of what you are sharing before initiating any transfer.
  • Authorized Providers:Healthcare providers you designate through the app's secure sharing features. Authorized providers may upload documents to your health record on your behalf. You will receive an in-app notification for each provider upload and retain full control to review, retain, or delete uploaded documents at any time. You may revoke provider access at any time through the Privacy & Settings screen.
  • Business Associates: Contracted vendors and service providers who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., cloud infrastructure, security services) under executed Business Associate Agreements that prohibit any use or disclosure inconsistent with this Policy.
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users and the public. We will notify you of such requests to the extent permitted by law.
  • Public Health and Safety: As permitted by HIPAA for public health activities, reporting communicable diseases, or to avert a serious and imminent threat to health or safety.
  • De-identified Information: If and when de-identified analytics are produced in the future, aggregate information that does not identify any individual may be shared for research, product improvement, or public health purposes, consistent with HIPAA de-identification standards.

5.1 Prohibited Disclosures

MyMedAccess strictly prohibits:

  • Sale of PHI or personal health data to any third party
  • Disclosure to employers, insurers, or financial institutions without explicit user consent
  • Disclosure to law enforcement beyond what is required by valid legal process
  • Any disclosure to third-party data brokers or advertising networks
  • Transfer of PHI to any entity that has not executed a BAA with MyMedAccess
  • Re-identification of de-identified data

5.2 Third-Party Vendor Obligations

All third-party vendors with access to PHI are contractually bound by Business Associate Agreements that: (a) restrict use and disclosure of PHI to permitted purposes; (b) require equivalent data security safeguards; (c) prohibit re-identification of de-identified data; and (d) require notification to MyMedAccess in the event of a breach.

6. Your Rights

Under HIPAA and applicable law, you have the following rights with respect to your health information:

6.1 Right to Access

All health records are accessible in-app at any time. You may request a copy of your health records through the App or by contacting connect@mymedaccess.io. Because MyMedAccess does not persistently store PHI on its servers, your health records remain with your healthcare providers and health plans and may be re-retrieved at any time through the App. For PHI held by covered entities, your right of access is governed by HIPAA and should be exercised directly with that provider or plan. All server-side data held by MyMedAccess — including audit logs, consent records, session data, and account credentials — remains accessible to you upon written request to connect@mymedaccess.io.

6.2 Right to Amendment / Correction

You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete health data. OCR-extracted document fields and demographic fields are editable in-app. For data originating from external covered entities, we will assist you in identifying the source and directing your correction request to the appropriate covered entity. All edits are logged with before/after state in the AuditLog.

6.3 Right to Restrict Uses and Disclosures

You may request restrictions on how we use or disclose your PHI. We will honor such requests where required by law. Pursuant to HITECH § 13405(a) (45 C.F.R. § 164.522(a)(1)(vi)), if you pay for a healthcare item or service entirely out-of-pocket, you have the right to request that we restrict disclosure of that information to a health plan, and we are required by law to honor that request.

6.4 Right to an Accounting of Disclosures

You have the right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures of your PHI made by MyMedAccess for the six-year period prior to your request. All PHI access and sharing events are logged in the append-only AuditLog and available to you on request.

6.5 Right to Data Portability

You may export your complete health data from the App at any time as a FHIR R4 Bundle (JSON) or PDF, at no charge. Exports are provided within 5 business days. You may transmit your data to any third party of your choosing.

6.6 Right to Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time via the in-app self-service account closure flow or by contacting connect@mymedaccess.io. We will process your request within 30 days and provide written confirmation. The User record is soft-deleted (not authenticatable, not visible in the App) to preserve the six-year HIPAA audit trail required by 45 CFR § 164.530(j). Note: deletion from MyMedAccess does not delete records held by your healthcare providers or health plans.

6.7 Right to Withdraw Consent

You may withdraw consent for any optional data uses at any time through the Privacy & Settings screen or by contacting connect@mymedaccess.io, without penalty to your access to core features. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing. After withdrawal, we will cease the applicable use or disclosure within five (5) business days.

6.8 Right to Confidential Communications

You may request that we communicate with you through specific channels or at specific locations by contacting connect@mymedaccess.io.

6.9 Right to File a Complaint

You may file a complaint with us or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights at hhs.gov/ocr at any time. We will not retaliate against any individual for filing a complaint.

7. Consent and Authorization

7.1 Informed Proactive Consent

MyMedAccess does not engage in default data sharing. Before we collect any personal data, you must affirmatively accept this Policy, our Terms of Use, and our HIPAA Authorization via separate checkboxes at registration. No bundle acceptance is permitted. Each consent is version-stamped with a UTC timestamp in the AuditLog. Consent requests clearly describe: (a) what data will be collected; (b) how it will be used; (c) with whom it may be shared; and (d) whether sharing is a condition of App use or optional. AI-assisted features require a separate opt-in and are disabled by default.

7.2 AI and Automated Decision-Making

AI-assisted features (including LLM-based lab summaries) require a separate, explicit opt-in before any health data is shared with an AI processing service. This feature is off by default. You may opt in or out at any time through the Privacy & Settings screen. No automated decisions with legal or significant effects are made without your explicit consent.

7.3 Marketing Opt-In

MyMedAccess does not currently send marketing communications. We will never use your PHI or personal health data for marketing or targeted advertising without your separate, explicit opt-in consent. If marketing communications are introduced in the future, a separate and explicit opt-in will be required — you will never be enrolled automatically. You may opt out at any time without affecting your access to core features.

7.4 Material Policy Changes

When we make material changes to this Policy, we will:

  • Notify you by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect
  • Display a persistent in-app notification during the notice period
  • On your next sign-in following the effective date, present a blocking in-app modal requiring your affirmative acceptance before you may continue using the Service
  • Provide a clear plain-language summary of what is changing and why

If you do not accept the updated Policy, you may export your data as a FHIR R4 Bundle or PDF, or close your account with deletion of all PHI processed within 30 days. Policy version number and re-acceptance UTC timestamp are recorded on the User record and in the AuditLog.

7.5 Children's Privacy (COPPA)

MyMedAccess is designed exclusively for adult users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly permit users under 18 to register or use the Service. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq., we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a user under 18 has registered, please contact us at connect@mymedaccess.io and we will promptly delete that information.

8. Data Security Safeguards

MyMedAccess implements administrative, physical, and technical safeguards consistent with the HIPAA Security Rule (45 C.F.R. Part 164, Subpart C) and industry best practices, including:

  • Encryption at rest: AES-256 field-level encryption of all PHI columns in PostgreSQL (pgcrypto). All documents stored in AWS S3 use server-side AES-256 encryption (SSE-AES256).
  • Encryption in transit: TLS 1.3 for all data in transit. All API endpoints enforce HTTPS.
  • QR Code Security: AES-256-GCM encrypted, single-use, 60-second TTL tokens. No raw PHI in QR payloads.
  • Access Controls: Role-based access controls (RBAC) and least-privilege access principles. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required for all user accounts.
  • Audit Logging: Append-only AuditLog with SHA-256 hash chain providing tamper-evident forensic capability. Every PHI access and mutation is logged with user, IP address, device fingerprint, and before/after state.
  • Infrastructure: MyMedAccess utilizes HIPAA-eligible cloud infrastructure and implements administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user information. Our security program incorporates industry-standard security controls and risk management practices, including encryption, access controls, audit logging, vulnerability management, and incident response procedures. FHIR-retrieved PHI is pass-through only — not persistently stored server-side.
  • Risk Management: Regular security risk assessments consistent with 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1). Formal incident response and breach notification procedures.
  • Workforce Training: HIPAA privacy, security, and CARIN Code of Conduct training at onboarding and annually thereafter.

9. Breach Notification

In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI, MyMedAccess will comply with the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (45 C.F.R. Part 164, Subpart D) and the HITECH Act (42 U.S.C. § 17932), including:

  • Notifying affected individuals without unreasonable delay and no later than sixty (60) calendar days after discovery of the breach, or such shorter period as required by applicable state law, via email to their registered address and in-app notification;
  • Notifying the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as required;
  • For breaches affecting 500 or more individuals in a state, notifying prominent media outlets in that state within 60 days;
  • Providing a description of the breach, the types of information involved, steps individuals can take to protect themselves, and contact information for further assistance.

To report a suspected security incident or breach, contact us immediately at connect@mymedaccess.io.

10. Data Retention and Account Management

10.1 Active Accounts

MyMedAccess does not persistently store PHI on its servers. FHIR-retrieved health records are transmitted directly to your device and are not retained server-side after delivery. MyMedAccess retains audit logs, account credentials, and session data for a minimum of six (6) years as required by HIPAA (45 CFR § 164.530(j)).

10.2 Dormant Accounts

An account is considered dormant after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. The following process applies:

  • 12 months inactive: Email notice with instructions to reactivate or close your account.
  • 18 months inactive: Account suspended. A second notice is sent.
  • 24 months inactive: Final deletion notice sent. Absent reactivation within 30 days, account credentials and all associated data are permanently deleted. Written confirmation of deletion is provided.

You may reactivate or request deletion at any time by contacting connect@mymedaccess.io.

10.3 Account Closure

You may close your account at any time via the in-app self-service flow or by contacting connect@mymedaccess.io. Upon account closure, all account credentials, session logs, and any server-side data held by MyMedAccess are securely deleted within 30 days with written confirmation provided. User-entered data stored on your device is removed when you delete the App.

10.4 Cessation of Operations

In the event MyMedAccess ceases operations, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice to all registered users via email and in-app notification. Before operations conclude, every user will be provided the opportunity to: (a) export their personal health data as a FHIR R4 Bundle or PDF; or (b) request deletion of all account data, processed within 30 days with written confirmation. MyMedAccess will not transfer user data to any successor without first providing users these options.

10.5 Business Transfer or Acquisition

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of ownership, we will notify all registered users at least 30 days in advance via email and in-app notification. You will be provided with at least one of the following options: (a) continue using the Service under the successor entity, provided its privacy commitments are materially consistent with this Policy; (b) export your personal health data; or (c) close your account with deletion of all PHI processed within 30 days.

11. Data Provenance and Accuracy

MyMedAccess maintains records of the provenance of health data displayed in the App, including the source provider or health plan, the date of retrieval, and any modifications made within the App. We do not alter health data retrieved from provider systems; any notes or annotations are clearly attributed to the user.

We disclaim responsibility for the accuracy of records as maintained by third-party healthcare providers or health plans. If you believe your records contain an error, we will assist you in identifying the correct source and asserting your amendment rights with the applicable covered entity.

12. Certifications and Accreditations

MyMedAccess Inc. publishes all current certifications and accreditations on our Trust & Compliance page at mymedaccess.io/trust, including the issuing organization, issue date, and expiration date. Users are notified via in-app announcement when new accreditations are received.

13. Understanding Your Data Choices

MyMedAccess provides education about your personal data disclosure choices through multiple in-app surfaces:

  • Registration: Consent screens present plain-language explanations of what data is collected and how it is used before you agree.
  • QR Sharing: The sharing flow explains which data sections are being shared, to whom, and the security characteristics of the token (single-use, 60-second expiry, patient-controlled).
  • Settings:The Privacy & Settings screen provides a dedicated help section on your privacy choices, including AI opt-in, marketing preferences, and consent withdrawal, at any time.
