  1. Regulatory environment

Confidentiality of health information

We aim at protecting your privacy as much as we can. To implement this goal, we designed an integrated system where on one end, very little of your health information is known by us when you use our portal (only the parameters you insert in our searchable database (the type of addiction for which you seek treatment, whether you are insured or not, whether you have relapsed or not, where you are located, and the matching type of facility you are looking for), and on the other end, the information we provide is limited to connecting visitors with healthcare providers directly without the need for any further inter action from us.

This being said, under specific circumstances (e.g. you need additional information, you previously used our services), some of your health information may become known to us. In such occurrence, the following regulations apply to your past, present, or future health, treatment, or payment for healthcare services:

  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”),
  • Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH Act”)
  • Alcohol and Other Drug Confidentiality Law (42 C.F.R. Part 2)
  • California’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (“CMIA”).

While we comply with and enforce these regulations, each treatment provider listed in our database has its own Notice of Privacy Practices. We therefore suggest that you contact the treatment provider of your choice for more information regarding its privacy practices.

California privacy rights

California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those parties.
