PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

As part of that relationship, you provide information to us, including but not limited to, your name, email address, physical address, phone number and certain transactional information, that we do not consider "protected health information" or "medical information".

However, in using certain components of the Website, you may also provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. Rizvi Brain Institute is not a "covered entity" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, " HIPAA"). One or more of the pharmacies or third-party affiliate professional entities we partner with may or may not be a "covered entity" or "business associate" under HIPAA, and We may, in some cases, be a "business associate" of a pharmacy or medical provider. It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Rizvi Brain Institute, professional care providers, or pharmacies. To the extent Rizvi Brain Institute is deemed a "business associate," however, and solely in its role as a business associate, We, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to "protected health information," as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Rizvi Brain Institute, the medical group or professional care providers (" PHI"). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, "Protected Information"), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws.

Rizvi Brain Institute and professional care providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how each use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Website, you acknowledge receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from the Rizvi Brain Institute and professional care provider(s).

By accessing or using any part of the Website, you are agreeing that even if HIPAA does apply to Rizvi Brain Institute, the professional care providers, or the pharmacies, any information that you submit to Rizvi Brain Institute that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by a professional care provider or prescription fulfillment by the pharmacies, is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. For purposes of clarity, the information you provide to Rizvi Brain Institute in order to register and set up an account on the Website, including name, username, email address, physical address, and phone number, are not considered Protected Information.
