3. Health-Related Information and HIPAA

Pelvic Awareness Project may collect health-related information that you voluntarily provide (for example, information about pelvic symptoms, conditions, or treatment experiences). This information is used for educational, engagement, and program-related purposes.

We are not a healthcare provider or health plan, and we do not act as a “covered entity” or “business associate” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This means the information we collect is not protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA, and HIPAA does not apply to our use of this data.

We still treat your health-related information with care and use it only as described in this Privacy Policy.

    When required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of others.

    In connection with any merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction. If such a transaction occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information continues to be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
