Your Rights with Respect to Protected Health Information
When you set up an account with Lemma Health, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Lemma Health that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform and the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to Lemma Health, including but not limited to, your name, email address, shipping address, phone number and certain transactional information, which we do not consider to be “protected health information” or “medical information.” However, in using certain components of the Service, you may provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. While Lemma Health 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”), it may act as a “business associate” to certain healthcare providers, medical groups, and pharmacies, and as such, certain provisions of HIPAA may apply to our handling of protected health information (PHI). We are committed to following the relevant laws and regulations to protect your information. To the extent Lemma Health is deemed a “business associate” however, Lemma Health may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Lemma Health, the Medical Group or the Providers (“PHI”). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state or federal laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. Any covered entity that we contract with is required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you understand that any information that you submit to Lemma Health that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, or prescription fulfillment by pharmacies, is not considered Protected Information, and will be subject only to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information, unless otherwise specified by state or federal law. For purposes of clarity, information you provide to Lemma Health in order to register and set up an account on the Platform, including name, date of birth, username, email address, shipping address, and phone number, are not considered Protected Information. In accordance with HIPAA and other applicable laws, you have the following rights regarding your PHI: Right to Access and Copy – You have the right to inspect and obtain a copy of your PHI, including medical records and other health information we have about you.
