Introduction 

This Notice of Privacy Practices is being provided to you on behalf of Ovdodonors (referred to herein as “we”). We understand that your personal information and medical information that may be provided to us by your fertility practice is private and confidential. While we are not a healthcare entity, we are required by law to maintain the privacy of “protected health information.” Protected health information includes any individually identifiable information that we obtain from you or others that relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health, the health care you have received, or payment for your health care.

Portions of your health record have been shared with Ovodonors from your fertility practice. You have a right to:

• inspect and copy the information we received from your healthcare provider as provided for by applicable law
• request an electronic copy of your electronic file with us.
• request to amend the information we have on file with you as provided by applicable law
• obtain an accounting of disclosures of the information we received as provided by applicable law.
• notify us if we may NOT disclose information to a spouse, family member or other person you have authorized
• request communications of the information we have received by alternative means 
• revoke your authorization to use or disclose the information we have on file except to the extent that action has already been taken
• transmit copies of your information to third parties when request by you, in writing

 

Our Responsibilities

​

We are required to:

We reserve the right to change our practices and to make the new provisions effective for all protected health information we maintain.

 

We will not use or disclose your information without your authorization, except as described in this notice. We will not sell your information (unless permitted by law) or use or disclose such information for paid marketing (for which we receive payment from a third party) without your authorization. If we obtain your authorization, you may revoke it at any time, and this revocation will take effect except where we have already relied upon your authorization.
