Personal Data may also include “Personal Health Information” or “PHI”: means any information which relates to the Patients' medical or mental condition, the provision of healthcare services or otherwise; provided such PHI is not subject to any other governing regulation such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) in the United States of America or Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) in Canada. To the extent your PHI is subject to HIPAA or PIPEDA, we have adopted the strict HIPAA and PIPEDA Rules in processing your PHI, as all detailed under the Notice of Privacy Practices.
For the avoidance of doubt, any Non-Personal Data connected or linked to Personal Data shall be deemed as Personal Data as long as such connection or linkage exists.
