Health Data Privacy: Your Rights

Protecting Your Medical Information in the Digital Age

Your Health Data Privacy Rights

Your health information is protected by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), which gives you rights over your medical records and limits who can access them. Understanding these rights helps you protect your sensitive information.

HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses. It doesn't cover all health apps—check privacy policies carefully.
