If you are a patient or client of a healthcare or other professional who is using our services, you must contact them directly and ask for your record information and or deletion. Given many laws in place with HIPAA, records can not be deleted by PostureCo, Inc as they must be retained by health care providers even when you opt out of their care/services. You can, however ask they delete your electronic records themselves with our company and ask they keep a "paper file" for future records requests common within the healthcare landscape. It is the sole responsibility of the healthcare professional/fitness professional that is utilizing our services to maintain and comply with your requests on your personal electronic records. PostureCo, Inc. does not have patient/client level access to your files if stored within our SyncScreen cloud services, only the provider that placed them there has this "key" to your records.
