MHS holds privacy to be of primary importance throughout its business practices and is committed
to the confidentiality, availability, and safeguarding
of all personal information collected. MHS is committed to our Trust Framework that governs how
we interact with the data that we are entrusted with. The
MHS Trust Framework has 4 pillars: ethics, stewardship, transparency, and accountability (see https://mhs.com/digital-trust for
details). As a part of these
pillars, MHS adheres to the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA; CDC and the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, 2003), the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
(PIPEDA; Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, 2020),
and in terms of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA; Federal Trade Commission,
2013), MHS sites are not directed to children under 13 years of age. In addition, MHS is Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA; United States Code, 2017) certified. MHS also ensures the security and integrity of
personal information through a variety of security measures
which include physical, technical, and organizational measures. These integral elements are
consistently reviewed and updated to ensure the security and
protection of all personal information. These actions prevent loss, unauthorized access,
inappropriate disclosure, and unauthorized use of personal
information.
