3How We Use Your Information

We apply the minimum necessary standard — meaning we only use the minimum amount of information needed for each specific purpose. We use your information for the following:

Providing Nursing Foot Care

To schedule appointments, deliver services, document clinical observations, and maintain nursing records required for safe, ongoing care.

Care Coordination

When a referral to a physician or podiatrist is necessary, we may share the minimum relevant information with your medical provider to ensure continuity of care — with your knowledge.

Payment Processing

To process and collect payment for services rendered through our PCI-compliant payment processor. We share only the minimum information required for billing purposes.

Service Improvements

To improve the quality of care and operations — using de-identified or aggregated information only, never individual PHI.

Legal Compliance

To comply with legal obligations including mandatory reporting requirements, court orders, or requests from law enforcement or public health authorities when required by applicable law.


4How We Disclose Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or share your health information with third parties for marketing purposes — ever. Any use or disclosure of your PHI not described in this policy requires your separate written authorization, which you may revoke at any time.

We may disclose your information to:

Your Healthcare Providers

When a referral or care coordination with your physician or podiatrist is clinically necessary and relevant to your foot health.

Business Associates

Third-party service providers who support our operations — such as our scheduling platform, payment processor, and communications provider — under signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) as required by HIPAA.

Legal or Regulatory Authorities

When required by law, including court orders, mandatory public health reporting, or law enforcement requests under applicable California and federal law.

To Prevent Serious Harm

When necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of you, another person, or the public.
