Is Strainprint privacy compliant?
Written by
“Strainprint is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).
HIPAA is a U.S. law that governs data privacy and security for safeguarding medical information. Strainprint complies with all HIPAA standards for privacy, electronic transactions and security (including the HITECH Act and the Omnibus Rule of 2013). PIPEDA governs how private sector Canadian organizations collect, use and disclose personal information in the course of commercial business. PHIPA is the Canadian comparable to American HIPAA.
Strainprint has implemented policies, processes, and procedures designed to ensure HIPAA PIPEDA AND PHIPA compliance and maintains various reporting mechanisms that are required by law or requested by its customers.
- Some examples of how Strainprint complies with these regulations are as follows:
- Requiring consent from mobile app users for collection of personal information (journal-ethics friendly)
- Limiting collection of personal information to reasonable purposes
- Limiting access, use and disclosure of personal information
- Storing personal information accurately and completely
- Developing policies and procedures for breaches of privacy
- Having measures for resolution of complaints
- Having special privacy rules for employees
