Privacy Policy & Confidentiality Settings

Confidentiality is provided to all users at all times.   This means that unique identifiers such as your name and your birth date will not be shared at any time unless you specifically authorize.

HealthHeritage.net is Confidential. You choose who will access your Family History.

• Default: Myself Only - Highest Confidentiality: No one but you will be able to access and view your family history.
  
  
• Myself and My Doctor - Enables your doctor to review your health history, run the algorithm, and make health recommendations.

HealthHeritage.net is Secure. HealthHeritage.net is committed to protecting your privacy.   We do this with two types of technology: strong authentication and secure sockets techniques.

• Strong Authentication: We require that you supply two pieces of information -- a login name and a password -- each time you use the site.

• Encrypted Internet Communications: Your information is sent from your computer to our web site via state-of-the-art encryption.   Encryption uses math to hide your information in a series of codes that only your web browser and web server can easily interpret.   This encryption is used by banks and government agencies needing the highest level of security.

The way we store your personal information also helps to ensure both confidentiality and security.

• All family history information is stored separately from names in our database. This makes it impossible for others to locate your Family History.

   We follow the HONcode of Conduct for reliability and credibility of medical and health information.   http://www.hon.ch/HONcode/
