Our Approach to Privacy by Design
RememberPills.com was built from the ground up to avoid handling Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined by HIPAA. This was a deliberate design decision that protects our users and simplifies our compliance posture.
What We Don't Store
- Medication names or identifiers
- Medical conditions or diagnoses
- Prescription information
- Physician or provider information
- Insurance information
- Any clinical data of any kind
What You Store
When you create a reminder, you choose the label. You could call it "the little yellow pill," "8am thing," or simply "medication." We send whatever label you give it — we never know what it refers to medically.
Is RememberPills a Covered Entity?
Because we do not create, receive, maintain, or transmit Protected Health Information, RememberPills.com does not function as a HIPAA Covered Entity or Business Associate in the normal course of operations. We are a reminder delivery service, not a healthcare provider or health information manager.
For Healthcare Organizations
Healthcare organizations interested in using RememberPills as a patient tool should contact us at partners@rememberpills.com to discuss enterprise arrangements, which may include Business Associate Agreements depending on implementation.
