Limits On Our Abilities

Furthermore, we can (and you give us permission to) divulge any information about you to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials, as we, in our sole vigilance, believe needed to address and/or answer questions or resolve problems.
Our organization reserves the right to change this privacy policy at its discretion. Your continued use of this service after changes to this privacy policy have been posted is taken as acceptance of those changes. It is your responsibility to monitor the privacy policy to determine whether any changes have been made. This privacy policy is subject to and applicable to all privacy laws.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) regarding Text Messages or SMS messages
HIPAA does not expressly require the use or avoidance of any specific modes of communication. Thus, HIPAA does not expressly prohibit (or even mention) texting. However, HIPAA does require certain safeguards such as security and encryption steps to protect the patients privacy and information transmitted and stored.
Use of the OppoMed and partner platform and messages sent are within and above HIPAA compliance requirements. Everything you do on the OppoMed platform is encrypted and secured. Messages composed and sent are encrypted until they reach the cellular provider and at that point it is up to them to keep your text message secure (which they do).
OppoMed also has everything necessary to satisfy administrative safeguards such as 2-step authentication for internal employees and password protected accounts for users. It's also important to mention that all subscribers' numbers are stored in a database encrypted at rest, and are protected by a tightly managed firewall. We use a 256 bit AES government standard encryption with random initialization vectors to ensure data cannot be unencrypted without our key.
It is also important to note that we NEVER store any credit card information. All other sensitive information is encrypted as well.
