HIPAA Disclaimer

1. PuraGene is not a HIPAA-covered entity

PuraGene, Inc. operates a media, education, and referral platform. We are not a healthcare provider, health plan, or healthcare clearinghouse, and we are not a "covered entity" or "business associate" under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA").

Because of this, the information you submit through our newsletter, contact form, intake quizzes, or other site interactions is not Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA, and HIPAA's privacy and security protections do not apply to that information on our systems.

2. What this means for you

• Do not send us diagnoses, medical records, lab results, prescriptions, or other detailed clinical information through our site or email.
• Any information you do choose to share is handled per our Privacy Policy, not HIPAA.
• General health goals ("I'd like to lose weight" or "I'm interested in GLP-1s") are fine and are what our intake is designed for.

3. Partner clinics and providers

When you engage a licensed clinic, telehealth provider, or laboratory that we refer you to, that provider is typically a HIPAA-covered entity and their handling of your PHI is governed by their HIPAA notice and privacy practices — not ours. Please review each provider's Notice of Privacy Practices before you share clinical information with them.

4. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we do collect, as described in our Privacy Policy. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
