Data Security
We use strict tenant-level data isolation combined with role-based access controls to ensure that clinic data remains separate and secure. Patient/member data cannot be accessed across organizations, and staff within a clinic only see what their role permits.
All sensitive information is encrypted in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest.
HIPAA Compliance
Paratus Health complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Protected Health Information (“PHI”) is handled under strict safeguards, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) are signed with all covered entities and service providers.

Data may be stored or processed in the United States. By using our Services, you consent to such transfers, subject to applicable data protection safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses under GDPR).
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:
- Access, correct, or delete your data.
- Restrict or object to data processing.
- Request data portability.
- Opt out of marketing communications.
California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to request disclosures, deletion, and opt-out of “sale” of data (though Paratus Health does not sell personal information).
Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be reflected with a “Last Updated” date. Continued use of Services after changes indicates acceptance.
