Privacy & Security FAQ's

What kind of information will Human API have access to?

The information contained in your connected data sources varies by type and provider. Typically, healthcare provider Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems contain details on office visits, conditions, medications, test results, immunizations, and other information relevant to medical evaluation, diagnosis, treatment plans.  

You can confirm the information Human API will have access to by visiting your provider's online patient portal. Any information you have access to or can download from your provider's patient portal, Human API can access as well.

Is my data secure with Human API? 

Human API is HIPAA-compliant service, meaning it meets or exceeds U.S. government standards for medical data security, akin to those employed by national banks. More information about our Security measures can be found on our Security page.

Who has access to my data and for how long?

The philosophy behind Human API is that you, the consumer, are always in control of your data. Therefore, Human API will never share your data with any other party unless you explicitly instruct us to do so.

By authenticating your provider(s) through the Human API connect process on behalf of an insurance provider, medical research facility, digital health application, or other third party organization, you are explicitly authorizing Human API to retrieve your health data and make it available to the indicated party. This action can be undone at any time.
