HIPAA DISCLAIMER:
Reservation Engine allows its subscribers to offer their users services, such as finding and learning about nearby healthcare providers, booking appointments with the healthcare providers of their choice, and managing and forwarding certain information with the chosen healthcare provider regarding the health condition they wish to tend to. By doing so, Reservation Engine stores this health history-related information in its database, in encrypted format. Under the US law titled Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), some of this health and health-related information may be considered “protected health information” if such information is received from or on behalf of your healthcare providers.
We do not request, access or exchange any kind of health information – we merely store any information you have provided our subscribers with through our website. Your legal relationship is only with the person you have entrusted said information to, namely our subscriber, and they and they alone are liable to act in accordance with any law that applies to them.

[1] Data which we collect from you may be stored and processed in and transferred to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). For example, this could occur if our servers are located in a country outside the EEA or one of our service providers is situated in a country outside the EEA. We also share information with our partners in order to effectively provide you with our services, some of which may be located outside the EEA. These countries may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the EEA.
[2] If we transfer data outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this privacy policy and according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. You expressly agree to such transfers of data.
