6. HIPAA Compliance
Solum Health takes its obligations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") seriously. The following describes our HIPAA compliance posture:
- Business Associate Status: Solum Health operates as a Business Associate, as defined under 45 C.F.R. § 160.103. We are not a Covered Entity. We process PHI solely on behalf of our Customers, who are the Covered Entities responsible for obtaining any required patient authorizations and consents.
- Business Associate Agreements: We require a fully executed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every Customer before any PHI is transmitted to or processed by our platform. The BAA defines the permitted uses and disclosures of PHI, our security obligations, and breach notification responsibilities.
- HIPAA Privacy Rule: We use and disclose PHI only as permitted or required by the BAA and applicable law. We do not use PHI for marketing, fundraising, or any purpose not authorized by the BAA.
- HIPAA Security Rule: We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic PHI (ePHI). These safeguards are detailed in Section 11 of this Privacy Policy.
- Breach Notification Rule: In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI, we will notify the affected Customer without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery of the breach, in accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.410. We will cooperate with the Customer in fulfilling their notification obligations to affected individuals and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
- Workforce Training: Solum Health provides HIPAA training to workforce members who access or handle PHI as part of onboarding and on a recurring basis thereafter. Training covers the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, and our internal policies and procedures.
- Risk Assessments: We conduct periodic risk assessments in accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to ePHI and to implement appropriate security measures to mitigate identified risks.
- AI and PHI: PHI processed by Solum Health is not used to train, fine-tune, or improve artificial intelligence or machine learning models, whether general-purpose or specialized. AI model inference on PHI is performed solely to deliver the specific Services contracted by the Customer under the applicable BAA.
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
Solum Health does not sell your Personal Information as that term is defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not exchange Personal Information for monetary consideration.

- Service Providers: We share information with trusted third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, customer support, and security monitoring. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information solely for the purposes of providing services to us and are required to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Where service providers may access PHI, they are bound by BAAs or equivalent data protection agreements.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including in response to subpoenas, court orders, or requests from law enforcement or regulatory agencies. We will attempt to notify you of such requests to the extent permitted by law.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will provide notice before your Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. Any successor entity will be bound by the terms of existing BAAs with respect to PHI.
- De-Identified Data: We may share De-Identified Data that has been stripped of all identifiers in accordance with the HIPAA Safe Harbor standard (45 C.F.R. § 164.514(b)). De-Identified Data cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual and is not subject to the restrictions of this Privacy Policy or HIPAA.
- With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when you have given us explicit, informed consent to do so.
- Protection of Rights: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our Terms of Service, this Privacy Policy, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
