Information We Collect
Personal Information
When you sign up for our weekly newsletter or voluntarily provide information that personally identifies you – such as your name, address, mobile telephone number, e-mail addresses, and other information – we use this Personal Information for internal purposes only. We do not sell or rent information about you. We will not disclose Personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as explained in this Privacy Policy.
We may share Personal Information with businesses controlling, controlled by, or under common control with HIPAAJournal.com. If HIPAAJournal.com is merged, acquired, or sold, or in the event of a transfer of some or all of our assets, we may disclose or transfer your Personal Information in connection with such transaction.
Compliance for Newsletter
Forms are used on this website to collect email addresses for newsletters.
You may unsubscribe from these newsletters at any time. All newsletters include an unsubscribe link that functions automatically and immediately.
The HIPAA Journal does not directly store any personal data regarding the newsletter.
A third-party processor called Mailchimp is used for this purpose.
Compliance for Sponsored Forms
Sponsored forms on this website are used to collect personal information.
The personal information collected on these forms is not stored in any HIPAA Journal database. The HIPAA Journal simply acts as a data processor.
The personal information collected on sponsored forms is passed directly to the website sponsor. The site sponsor is the data controller.
Your personal information will not be shared with any other third party.
The only personal information stored is the specific information provided on the form. No other information is stored, for example, via cross-referencing with other databases or IP addresses.
You may request that your personal information be deleted at any time.
If you have any questions about your personal data, please contact [email protected].
Standard Analytics Information
We use Google Analytics to help analyze how visitors to HIPAAJournal.com use this website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit HIPAAJournal.com, what pages they visit, and what other sites they visited prior to coming to the Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve your experience when you visit this Site.
Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit HIPAAJournal.com, rather than your name or any other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with any Personal Information you have voluntarily provided to us. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique member the next time you visit HIPAAJournal.com, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

We have no control over third-party advertising cookies but assure you that they cannot be used to identify an individual visitor. The only data that will be collected by these cookies is that the visitor has arrived on the third party´s site having previously visited the HIPAAJournal.com website.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
HIPAAJournal.com cooperates with government and law enforcement officials to enforce and comply with the law. We may therefore disclose Personal Information and any other information about you if we deem that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process (such as a subpoena or court order), or enforceable governmental request; (b) enforce the Terms or the Services, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of HIPAAJournal.com, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.
