3. Types of Information We Collect

We collect information in three primary categories:

A. Personal Information ("PI")

"Personal Information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be linked to an individual user.

Examples include name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, login credentials, payment details (processed via secure third-party processors) and communication preferences.

B. Protected Health Information ("PHI")

PHI is collected only when MyTabiCare acts as a HIPAA, GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA and Global Privacy Principles "Business Associate" for users, families, payers, or providers.

PHI may include information related to a care recipient ("Loved One"), such as medical conditions or diagnoses, medication schedules, adherence, and health tasks, well-being metrics (hydration, nutrition, vitals, notes, daily observations), appointments, assessments, and care plans, uploaded documents containing PHI and information shared by family and caregivers.

MyTabiCare stores and transmits PHI only in encrypted, HIPAA, GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA and Global Privacy Principles-compliant environments.

For some of the Features, we may make chat rooms, forums, message boards, or news groups available to you. Please remember that any information disclosed in these areas is public. You should exercise caution when disclosing Personal Information in these areas, as this information is made available to other users.
