Patient Rights & Privacy Commitment
At compareweightloss.net, we are committed to protecting your privacy and respecting your rights as a consumer. Our platform is intended exclusively for users in the United States, and our practices align with U.S. healthcare privacy regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
While we do not provide healthcare services or collect personal health data directly, we work exclusively with licensed third-party telehealth providers. These providers are independently responsible for HIPAA compliance and all related data protection standards. Below are the rights you are entitled to through those providers.
- You have the right to access your health information. This means you can request and review the medical information held by your provider to understand the details of your health status, treatments, or any services you’ve received.
- You have the right to request corrections to your health records. If you believe the information in your file is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask your provider to amend it. This ensures that your medical records are accurate and up to date.
- You have the right to receive a record of disclosures. This includes a list of when and why your protected health information has been shared by your provider, including the recipient and the purpose of the disclosure, for accountability and transparency.
- You have the right to request limitations on the use or disclosure of your information. For example, you may ask that your provider not share certain details with specific parties, even if disclosure is typically allowed under standard procedures.
- You have the right to request that your provider communicate with you through specific means or at a certain location. This could include receiving information by email instead of phone or directing communications to a personal address instead of your primary residence.
- You have the right to file a complaint if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. Whether related to misuse of your data or non-compliance with HIPAA standards, your provider is required to respond to complaints in a timely and respectful manner.
- You have the right to request a printed copy of this privacy policy at any time. This ensures you can always review how your privacy is being protected, even offline.
If you have any questions about these rights or about how your information is handled through providers listed on our platform, you are welcome to contact our designated privacy representative: info@mount-media.com
