AIHCON's TAPE-IT platform is designed to cater to healthcare providers within the United States.

Our policies are designed to protect the privacy of children and provide a secure environment for the collection and storage of their personal information. The following sections outline our approach to children's privacy, age restrictions, and the role of parental consent and control in our platform.
The TAPE-IT platform is intended for use by healthcare providers and other authorized users who are at least 18 years of age or older.

In the event that we become aware of any personal information collected from a child under the age of 18, we will take appropriate steps to delete such information as quickly as possible and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
As our platform is not designed for users under the age of 18, we require that any personal information related to a child be provided by their parent or legal guardian. We encourage parents and guardians to be actively involved in their children's online activities and to monitor their use of our platform. In cases where personal information is collected for children under the age of 18, we seek the consent of their parents or legal guardians and provide them with the ability to control and manage their child's data. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided personal information to our platform without their consent, they should contact us immediately so that we can take appropriate action to delete the information and ensure the child's privacy is protected.
We understand the importance of maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of user data. However, in certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose personal information to comply with legal obligations, respond to government requests, or facilitate interactions with insurance companies and law firms. In all such instances, we adhere to HIPAA regulations and other applicable laws to ensure that user privacy remains protected. The following sections detail our policies and practices related to data sharing and disclosures under specific circumstances.
We may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests from government authorities, such as subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes.

We are committed to ensuring that all data sharing with insurance companies is carried out securely and in a manner that respects user privacy.
There may be instances where we need to share personal information with law firms to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights and interests.

We will also require the law firms to maintain the confidentiality of the information shared and to use it solely for the purposes for which it was provided. Our commitment to user privacy remains paramount, even when sharing information with law firms under these specific circumstances.
We are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of user data. While we implement robust security measures to protect your information, users also play a critical role in maintaining the security of the platform. It is essential for users to understand their responsibilities and potential liabilities related to data security. The following sections outline user responsibilities, the importance of reporting security vulnerabilities, and the consequences of engaging in prohibited activities.
Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and ensuring that their devices are secure.

If a user discovers a security vulnerability or a potential data breach within the TAPE-IT platform, they are responsible for reporting the issue to us immediately. Prompt reporting allows us to investigate the issue and take appropriate action to address the vulnerability and safeguard user data. Users should not exploit the vulnerability or share information about the issue with others, as this may lead to further security risks.
Users are strictly prohibited from engaging in activities that compromise the security of the TAPE-IT platform or the privacy of other users. This includes, but is not limited to, attempting unauthorized access to user accounts, exploiting security vulnerabilities, or introducing malicious code into the platform. Users found to be engaging in such activities may face penalties, including account suspension, legal action, or other consequences as deemed appropriate. Our priority is to maintain a secure environment for all users, and we will take necessary action against those who jeopardize the platform's security.
AIHCON may implement artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within the Services to enhance user experience and improve the functionality of the Services.
