Great question! In the case that something happens to PatientBank or we go under, we guarantee that we'll continue to host users' medical data. It's also worth noting that we already make it really easy to export your medical records from PatientBank.

You dodged the bulk of my question around privacy, data ownership, etc. Is it safe then to assume your business plan is to be cavalier with this data against my authorization and monetize it in a non anonymous fashion?

Hi shostack, I am so sorry part of your question was unanswered.

As I wrote in a couple other questions, patients' privacy and their data security are our top priority at PatientBank. What that means is, in any product or business decision, patient satisfaction, happiness and their trust in our service are top things we consider.

So, we would not share patient data with any third party without patients' explicit consent!

Hope this clarifies things!

Is it really your top priority? Things like that always sound so disingenuous to me. Surely your top priority is building a profitable business, no? Otherwise there would be no data to even worry about.

When the response to the yes/no question of "Are you going to sell my data?" is "Your privacy is our top priority" instead of "No", run far far away.
