At Pulse Check Health Axis, we keep your data on lockdown. This Privacy Policy outlines how we gather, safeguard, and manage your personal and health-related information.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal identification details such as your name, email, phone number, date of birth, and address when you register, schedule appointments, or subscribe to communications.
2. Health Data Collection
Health-related data — including medical history, current medications, allergies, and treatment preferences — is collected only with your explicit consent and used exclusively for providing care.
3. Use of Information
Your data is used to deliver and improve healthcare services, process payments, send appointment reminders, deliver newsletters (with consent), comply with legal requirements, and enhance our platform experience.
4. Data Sharing
We never sell your personal data. We may share it with treating providers, insurance partners for claims, operational vendors, law enforcement when legally required, and affiliates with your consent.
5. Security Measures
We employ 256-bit SSL encryption, AES-256 data-at-rest encryption, routine penetration testing, multi-factor authentication, and mandatory staff privacy training.
6. HIPAA Compliance
Pulse Check Health Axis fully complies with HIPAA, maintaining administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect Protected Health Information (PHI).
7. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and analytics tools to remember preferences, analyze traffic, and personalize content. You can manage cookies in your browser settings.
8. Third-Party Links
Our site may link to external websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.

You may receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format and request direct transfer to another provider where feasible.

You can request processing restrictions when data accuracy is contested, processing is unlawful, or data is needed for legal claims.

With consent, we send transactional emails (essential, non-optional) and promotional emails (optional, unsubscribable). Manage preferences in your account.
17. SMS & Phone
SMS is used for reminders and alerts; phone for follow-ups. Manage communication preferences via account settings.
18. Children's Privacy
Our services are not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their data and will delete any inadvertently collected information.
19. Telehealth Privacy
Telehealth uses end-to-end encryption. Sessions are not recorded without consent. All virtual visits carry the same confidentiality as in-person care.

Anonymized, aggregated data may be used for research and improvement. Individual patients are never identifiable in shared insights.
