Privacy Policy - Preferred Living Solutions

Preferred Living Solutions for Seniors LLC prioritizes maintaining the confidentiality of its records, agreements, documents, and other sensitive information.

Preferred Living Solutions’ care managers acknowledge that their access to confidential information is for the sole purpose of performing their responsibilities and for no other purpose. They agree that they will access only the information that they need to perform their job and will not seek access to any information that they do not need to perform their job.

They understand that protected health information (PHI) or any other confidential information (CI) may not be shared with anyone who does not have an official need to know. They will be especially careful not to share this information with others in casual conversation.

They will handle with care all records and the data they contain to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of CI.

They understand that their login ID and password are unique to them and may not be shared with anyone else and must be stored in a secure location. They will log off of the platform before leaving their work area and will not leave a computer that has the platform open and running unattended. If they become aware that their password and/or logon ID becomes compromised, they will notify Preferred Living Solutions’ managing partner Melanie Mattingly or partner Michael Stickney.

Since unencrypted messages may be intercepted by other people, Preferred Living Solutions’ care managers understand that they may not send PHI and /or confidential information that they obtained from the network unless it is encrypted, or the disclosure is authorized.

Policy

Treatment of Confidential Data in an office setting:

Storage: confidential data must be removed from desks, computer screens, and common areas unless it is currently in use. Confidential data should be stored under lock and key (or keycard, keypad), with the key, keycard, or code secured.

Transmission: confidential data must not be 1) transmitted outside the company network without the use of strong encryption, 2) left on voicemail systems, either inside or outside the company’s network.

Treatment of Confidential Data in CareTree care management software:

Storage and Transmission: all the data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Only users with the appropriate permissions for an individual patient will be able to see that information. For example, only a user that has been expressly given access to a patient can see that patient. The user must then have medical access to see information that is Medical.

Treatment of Confidential Data in G Suite Business:

G Suite customers’ data is encrypted when it’s on a disk, stored on backup media, moving over the Internet, or traveling between data centers. Providing cryptographic solutions that address customers’ data security concerns is our commitment. Encryption is an important piece of the G Suite security strategy, helping to protect your emails, chats, Google Drive files, and other data. Additional details on how data is protected at rest, in transit, on backup media, and details on encryption key management can be found in our G Suite Encryption Whitepaper and can be supplied upon written request.
