Further, your access and agreement to any Terms of Service is consenting to the way in which we may use and/or disclose your Platform Data as provided in this Platform Notice. The privacy and security of the PHI that is lawfully transmitted to us is governed by business associate agreements (“BAAs”) that we enter into with applicable covered entities. By entering the Springbuk Platform, you agree that you are legally permitted to access the contents as applicable therein including, but not limited to, PHI, de-identified PHI, or aggregated data.

Our Data Collection and Cookie Policy
At Springbuk, we leverage Platform Data about our Platform Users in order to provide better service to those who the proper authority to access it. However, the cookies, pixels, and tracking codes used on our Springbuk Platform are provided by third parties and allow our Platform to remember your settings, monitor our Platform’s performance, and provide us with feedback about how our Platform is used by authorized Platform Users. Put differently, Springbuk does not collect your Platform Data directly. Instead, it is collected by our Third Party Partners that then facilitate our access to your Data.

How We Protect Platform Data and PHI
Be advised that the language in this Platform Notice is not intended to represent the entirety of Springbuk’s PHI privacy, protection, and security functions pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended and along with its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”), and other applicable laws.

The Springbuk Platform has various levels of user access and roles, and only certain types of Platform Users (acting within their individually authorized accounts) are allowed to perform certain operations to query or otherwise process the Data and/or PHI. Pursuant to applicable law, Platform Users are required to sign into our Platform via a secure HTTP connection (HTTPS), which prevents unauthorized users from intervening and accessing PHI while it is being transmitted.

Our entire server environment runs in a secured, private network in the cloud hosted by Amazon Web Services, access to which is granted only to authorized employees (also according to our written operating procedures). In setting up the server environment, we have followed the Amazon Web Services’ documented best practices for ensuring direct access is properly configured and to ensure your Data and PHI is protected.

Springbuk’s health analytics services permits us to lawfully acquire PHI through the “health care operations” permitted use and disclosure. Through the Springbuk Platform, we leverage PHI from participating group health plans and their business associates who seek to use our services in order to provide them. The PHI is transmitted to us after the proper contractual agreements (e.g., BAAs) have been formed in accordance with HIPAA and other applicable laws. The use of this PHI is integral to the services we provide to our Platform Users. The PHI is stored securely, used selectively pursuant to HIPAA and other applicable laws, and never sold, traded, or otherwise transacted in exchange for remuneration to any third parties, unless allowed pursuant to applicable law.

Your Rights
The Platform Data collected about you is yours and you have the right to possess this data or have our access to it removed at your discretion with the exception of PHI and Platform Data that has been lawfully de-identified or aggregated pursuant to applicable law and after prior authorization has been granted through contractual means.

We are willing and able to instruct our Third Party Partners to delete, correct, or alter your Platform Data upon request. Upon instruction, these Third Party Partners are obligated to respect your wishes relative to your Data, but we cannot guarantee that Third Party Partners will delete your Platform Data. See “Third Party Partners and Platform Data” below.

Regarding the PHI on the Springbuk Platform, an individual retains the right to request to access, update, or correct any PHI related to him/her that has been transmitted or provided to us. However, this is a process that must be requested through an individual’s group health plan as a covered entity and/or another related covered entity—not us. We do not possess the authority to access an individual’s medical record(s) and make the changes an individual may desire. An individual does, however, retain the right to request a paper copy of our Platform Notice and/or Springbuk Website Notice upon request, and retains the right to file a complaint with us or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

HIPAA
HIPAA prescribes the rules we comply with when protecting and securing PHI lawfully transmitted to us for utilization on the Springbuk Platform. Springbuk actively ensures our privacy practices remain compliant with the law. We ensure privacy and protection by only allowing authorized Platform Users to access the Springbuk Platform and only after express consent has been obtained as it is prescribed in HIPAA and other applicable laws. The PHI in the Platform is secured with a variety of security techniques and controls pursuant to HIPAA and other applicable laws.

First and foremost, an individual’s PHI is encrypted during transmission from its authorized providers to us and is kept in an encrypted state when at rest within our system. During data processing, all personnel and programs needing to access this PHI must have the required decryption keys and authorization to even be able to access it. The process for allocation of User accounts and decryption keys is controlled internally within Springbuk and according to our written operating procedures in compliance with HIPAA and other applicable laws.

Remember, the language in this Platform Notice is not intended to represent the entirety of Springbuk’s PHI protection and security functions pursuant to HIPAA and other applicable laws.

Third Party Partners and Platform Data
Third Party Partners who have access to the Springbuk Platform do not have access to PHI; they simply track and/or monitor a Platform User’s usage of the Springbuk Platform in order to provide a Platform User with optimal service. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transact in exchange for remuneration any PHI to any third parties, unless allowed pursuant to applicable law.

These Third Party Partners operate under privacy practices and terms separate and independent from those that govern Springbuk. Springbuk is not directly or indirectly liable for any damage or loss incurred by you in connection with this authorized access, nor is Springbuk responsible for the content, security, or the privacy practices of those parties.

European Union (“EU”) General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)
Springbuk does not monitor, profile, target, and/or offer services to EU citizens. Therefore, Springbuk does not adhere to the requirements of GDPR, nor do we recognize its authority.

California’s Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)
Springbuk is not a service provider under the CCPA because Springbuk does not collect the personal information of California consumers. While Springbuk may collect PHI from California consumers, PHI is exempted from the CCPA’s definition of “personal information.” Thus, Springbuk need not comply with the CCPA, per Cal. Civ. Code §1798.145(c).

However, if our circumstances at Springbuk were to change and we would find ourselves within the purview of the CCPA, we would work diligently to achieve and maintain its compliance.

Children’s and Minors’ Privacy
Springbuk’s services are not directed towards, designed for, or intended to solicit children under the age of 13.

If such information is gathered without our knowledge, we will immediately delete and remove the information from our database once it has been discovered pursuant to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

However, we may lawfully acquire PHI from minors under the age of 18 if they are listed as dependents on their parents’, guardians’, or other person acting in loco parentis’ health insurance plans. In this event, the PHI has been lawfully procured pursuant to HIPAA and COPPA and is transmitted as prescribed in the agreements between the parties to the transaction.
