Documo helps healthcare organizations manage their data securely and efficiently.

We never sell your information to anyone, and we only use or share data as you’ve agreed to or as required by law. For healthcare data, we only handle it exactly as our healthcare customers direct us to, with strong security protections in place.
Introduction:
Documo Inc. (“Documo,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding the information entrusted to us.

Because Documo supports healthcare organizations, some Customers enter into Business Associate Agreements (“BAAs”) with us under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). This Privacy Policy explains how we treat different categories of data, including Protected Health Information (“PHI”), and clarifies how our BAAs govern PHI processing.

Security of Personal Information
We have implemented commercially reasonable physical, organizational, contractual, and technological security measures to protect your personal information from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. We implement the following measures:
- Encryption: Personal data is encrypted both at rest and during transmission over public networks.
- Access Controls: Data is restricted based on the principle of least privilege, ensuring access is limited to authorized personnel.
- Compute Devices: Any mobile device containing personal or confidential data must be encrypted and protected by password authentication. Devices will lock after 10 minutes of inactivity.
- Backups: All backups are encrypted and securely stored.
- Physical Security: Paper records containing confidential data are securely stored and disposed of in line with data handling and destruction procedures.
Despite the measures outlined above, no method of information transmission or information storage is 100% secure or error-free, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a security breach, we will act promptly to mitigate the risks and inform you where there is a real risk of significant harm, or as otherwise required by law.
You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your identification, passwords, and/or any personal information in your possession for the use of our Website and/or the Services. Always be careful and responsible regarding your personal information. We are not responsible for, and cannot control, the use by others of any information you provide to them. You should exercise caution when providing personal information to others through our Website or the Services. Similarly, we cannot assume any responsibility for the content of any personal information or other information that you receive from other users through our Website or the Services. We cannot guarantee or assume any responsibility for verifying the accuracy of personal information or other information provided by any third party.
