LumyScan HIPAA Compliance Information
Important Privacy Disclaimer
LumyScan is designed as a personal medical imaging analysis tool. The app developer and LumyDigital.com do not store, access, or transmit your medical images to any external servers. All image analysis is performed locally on your device, and your medical data remains under your control at all times.
1. Local Processing Only
Your privacy and data security are our top priorities. Unlike cloud-based solutions, LumyScan processes all medical images directly on your device, ensuring complete data privacy.
2. Local Storage Only
LumyScan uses your device's local storage to save:
- Medical Images: X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasound images that you upload
- Analysis Results: The AI-generated interpretations of your images
- User Preferences: Your app settings and display preferences
This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to share it.
3. User Responsibility
As a user of LumyScan, you maintain full control and responsibility for your medical data. We recommend the following practices:
- Use a secure device with password or biometric protection
- Do not share your login credentials with others
- Be cautious when using the app on public Wi-Fi networks
- Regularly review and delete old analyses you no longer need
4. Not a Covered Entity
LumyScan is not considered a "Covered Entity" or "Business Associate" under HIPAA regulations because:
- We do not store your medical data on our servers
- We do not have access to your medical images or analysis results
- We do not transmit your Protected Health Information (PHI) to healthcare providers
This means that the traditional HIPAA compliance requirements do not apply to our application in the same way they would to a healthcare provider or insurance company.
5. Security Features
Although not required by HIPAA, we've implemented the following security features:
- Secure Local Storage: Your data is stored securely on your device
- Optional Authentication: Password protection for app access
- Data Deletion: Option to permanently delete all your data from the app
