>we are not a covered entity under HIPAA

So why lie and say you are when directly asked? You could have just replied with this exact post when asked, instead you chose to blatantly lie. Why?

Did you just think nobody would notice and you'd just get away with it?

When people ask "Is customer data protected by HIPAA?" They don't mean "do you choose to follow HIPPA protocols [at the moment] with customer data?," They mean "Is customer data protected by HIPAA?" They want to know what you can legally do with their medical data, no what you currently choose to do with it. But you know that, you are playing stupid and are caught with your pants down.

We all know your competition also isn't a covered entity under HIPPA - so just admit you aren't either, don't be slimy and mealy-mouthed about it.

I’m sorry you feel that we were misleading you - that is not our intention. As I stated in my previous response: we are not a HIPAA covered entity but maintain HIPAA compliant protocols. We plan to include our data protection protocols on our site to make this information available and transparent for visitors and users. I appreciate you bringing this up!
