At Angels LAB, we believe that privacy is very important to our customers. Protecting that privacy is a responsibility we take seriously. This is why we would like to explain to you, that you can feel confident that we are committed to safeguarding your personal information. In order to protect the privacy of our customers, we are in compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule, of the United States Department of Human and Health Services. The HIPAA Privacy Rule protects individuals' medical records and personal health information. We are fully committed to ensuring that your privacy is respected and protected.

This notice describes our privacy practices and that of:

• All departments of our facility.
  
• All employees and our staff personnel.

The privacy of our customers is very important to us. We are fully committed to ensuring that your privacy is respected and protected. We understand that medical information about you and your health is personal and we are committed to protecting medical information about you. When you place an order we create a record of the service(s) you receive on this website, we need this record to fulfill your order. This notice applies to all of the records generated at our facility.

This notice will tell you about the ways in which we may use and disclose medical information about you. We also describe your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of medical information.

We are required by law to:

• Maintain the privacy of your Personal Health Information;
  
• Provide you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your Personal Health Information; and
  
• Follow the terms of this notice.

The main reasons for which we may use and may disclose your Personal Health Information is to process your order for services that you have ordered. The following describes these and other uses and disclosures, together with some examples.

• For Treatment. We may use medical information about you to provide you with services. We may disclose medical information about you to the facility's office personnel who are involved in taking care of your order at the facility or elsewhere. We also may disclose medical information about you to people outside our facility who may be involved in processing your order. These entities include third party physicians, hospitals, nursing homes or clinical labs with whom the office consults or makes referrals. Furthermore, these entities may also include physicians, surgeons or dental professionals, who may be providing you with medical care, and you have requested us to forward to them an output of your order.
  
  
• For Payment. We may use and disclose medical information about you so that the treatment and services you receive may be billed to and payment may be collected from you, an insurance company, a medical practitioner or a third party. For example, we may need to give your health plan information about services you received at the facility so your health plan will pay us or reimburse you for the services. We may also tell your health plan about the service you are going to receive, to obtain prior approval or to determine whether your plan will cover the treatment.
  
  
• For Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose medical information about you for our internal operations. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run our facility and to fulfill your order. For example, we may use medical information about you to review the output and services and to evaluate the performance of our staff in providing this service for you. We may also combine medical information about many patients to decide what additional services the facility should offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain new services are effective. We may also disclose information to our staff and other office personnel for review and learning purposes.
  
  
• Individuals Involved in Your Care or Payment for Your Care. We may release medical information about you to a friend or family member who is involved in your medical care provided you have consented to such disclosure. We may also give information to someone who helps pay for your care. In addition, we may disclose medical information about you to an entity assisting in a disaster relief effort so that your family can be notified about your condition, status and location.
  
  We do not disclose, give, sell, trade or transfer any Personal or Medical information to third parties without your consent. The only information we share with third parties without your consent, is the Aggregate information (such as information about how many visitors visit our web site, the pages they access, time and day of the week these pages are accessed, the amount of time they spend on a particular page and other similar information). Personal or Medical information, for example the images you send to us for processing are kept in a location with administrative, technical or physical safeguards. If you want us to forward the output copy to a medical specialist (cosmetic surgeon, plastic surgeon, dental professional, etc), you will be prompted to input their specific e-mail address during checkout. Furthermore, prior to sending a copy of the output we will verify with you the validity of the e-mail address that you have provided, prior to forwarding a copy of the output to your medical specialist. Even so, only your first & last name, your e-mail address, date and copy of the imaged output will be forwarded to the e-mail address that you have specified.
  
  
• Where Required by Law or for Public Health Activities. We disclose Personal Health Information when required by federal, state or local law. Examples of such mandatory disclosures include providing Personal Health Information to a governmental agency or regulator with health care oversight responsibilities. We may also release Personal Health Information to a coroner or medical examiner to assist in identifying a deceased individual or to determine the cause of death.
  
  
• To Avert a Serious Threat to Health or Safety. We may disclose Personal Health Information to avert a serious threat to someone's health or safety. We may also disclose Personal Health Information to federal, state or local agencies engaged in disaster relief as well as to private disaster relief or disaster assistance agencies to allow such entities to carry out their responsibilities in specific disaster situations.
  
  
• For Health-Related Benefits or Services. We may use Personal Health Information to provide you with information about benefits available to you under your current coverage or policy and, in limited situations, about health-related products or services that may be of interest to you.
  
  
• For Law Enforcement or Specific Government Functions. We may disclose Personal Health Information in response to a request by a law enforcement official made through a court order, subpoena, warrant, summons or similar process. We may disclose Personal Health Information about you to federal officials for intelligence, counterintelligence, and other national security activities authorized by law.
  
  
• When Requested as Part of a Regulatory or Legal Proceeding. If you or your estate are involved in a lawsuit or a dispute, we may disclose Personal Health Information about you in response to a court or administrative order. We may also disclose Personal Health Information about you in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process by someone else involved in the dispute, but only if efforts have been made to tell you about the request or to obtain an order protecting the Personal Health Information requested. We may disclose Personal Health Information to any governmental agency or regulator with whom you have filed a complaint or as part of a regulatory agency examination.
  
  
• Other Uses of Personal Health Information. Other uses and disclosures of Personal Health Information not covered by this notice and permitted by the laws that apply to us will be made only with your written authorization or that of your legal representative. If we are authorized to use or disclose Personal Health Information about you, you or your legally authorized representative may revoke that authorization, in writing, at any time, except to the extent that we have taken action relying on the authorization or if the authorization was obtained as a condition of obtaining your Health Insurance coverage. You should understand that we will not be able to take back any disclosures we have already made with authorization.

The following are your various rights as a consumer under HIPAA, concerning your Personal Health Information:
