HIPAA Compliance

Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. Pharos Innovations is dedicated to protecting the security and privacy of your protected health information (PHI) in accordance with applicable laws and in compliance with business associate agreements executed with our clients.  We will maintain the confidentiality of any information provided in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Collecting Information
In order to respond to your inquires, you may be asked to provide information that will help us identify you as a potential customer or partner. Any information collected by Pharos Innovations will not be shared with any third party or affiliate.

Use of Information
Pharos Innovations will only use your information to fulfill a request that has been initiated by you. By law, HIPAA Rules apply only to covered entities — health plans, healthcare clearing houses and certain healthcare providers — however, most healthcare providers and health plans do not carry out all of their healthcare activities and functions by themselves. Instead, they often use the services of a variety of other persons or businesses. The Privacy Rule allows covered providers and health plans to disclose protected health information to these “business associates” if the providers and health plans obtain satisfactory assurances that the business associate will:

  • Use the information only for the purposes for which it was engaged by the covered entity
  • Safeguard the information from misuse
  • Help the covered entity comply with some of the covered entities’ duties under the privacy rule.

Pharos Innovations is a business associate.

Security of Personal Information
Your personal information is never shared outside of the company. Only authorized personnel have access to a limited amount of customer information as needed to respond to your request. Pharos staff members who have access to PHI in the course of their work-related duties likewise are responsible for knowing and following the Pharos HIPAA Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policies of the respective covered entity. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action.

Use of Cookies
Our site does not use online cookies or store session IDs.

Changes to this Statement
Pharos Innovations reserves the right to change this Privacy Statement at any time. If changes are made, the changes and the date of change will be prominently posted at the top of this page.
