Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to DrPaulKilgore.com (Quantitative Health, Inc.). We are dedicated to providing high-quality health courses and consulting services. This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this website.
At DrPaulKilgore.com, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in handling your personal and health-related information. We understand the sensitivity of this data and are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring its confidentiality.
This policy applies to all information collected through our website and any related services. It covers personal information, which includes details like your name and contact information, and health-related information, such as your medical history and current health conditions. This policy is relevant to all users of our services, including website visitors, course participants, and consulting clients.
2. Information Collection and Use
Personal Information: We collect various types of personal information, including your name, email address, phone number, and demographic details like age and gender. This information helps us in creating a personalized experience for our users and is essential for the effective delivery of our services.
Health-Related Information: As part of our courses and consulting services, we may collect sensitive health-related information, including your medical history, current health conditions, and treatment plans. This data is vital for providing accurate health advice and tailored course content.
Lawful Basis for Processing: We process this information based on your consent, which is obtained explicitly at the point of collection. Additionally, processing this data is necessary for providing the services you have requested from us.
The information collected is used to deliver and continually improve our services. It enables us to provide personalized health advice, improve course content, and ensure that our consulting services meet your specific needs.
3. Mobile Application
The DrPaul mobile application serves as an interface to our web-based health tools. All calculator and analyzer tools process data entirely client-side within the application — no health data entered into these tools is transmitted to, stored on, or retained by our servers. The app does not collect device identifiers, location data, or usage analytics beyond standard web server logs. No third-party advertising or analytics SDKs are included in the application.
AI-Powered Tools: Certain health tools on this platform use artificial intelligence (Anthropic Claude) to generate educational health content based on data you enter. Your data is transmitted via encrypted HTTPS to our Cloudflare Workers backend for AI processing and is not stored, cached, or linked to your identity after your session ends. AI-generated results are not reviewed by a clinician before delivery and do not constitute medical advice. For full details on how AI is used across our platform, including safeguards, data handling, and your rights, see our AI Use Disclosure page at drpaulkilgore.com/ai-disclosure.
4. Confidentiality and Security of PHI
We implement robust security measures to protect your Protected Health Information (PHI). These measures include advanced encryption technologies and secure servers to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
Internal Policies and Staff Training: Our team is trained in the best practices for handling PHI. We maintain strict internal policies to ensure that your data is handled responsibly and ethically.
Third-Party Services: We work with trusted third-party services and partners for data processing needs. These entities are carefully selected to ensure they adhere to privacy standards comparable to ours, safeguarding the confidentiality and security of your information.
5. Telehealth & Consultation Policy
Telehealth Platform: All video consultations provided by Dr. Paul Kilgore through Quantitative Health LLC are conducted via HIPAA-compliant Zoom for Healthcare. Quantitative Health LLC maintains a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Zoom Communications, Inc., effective May 15, 2023, as required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the HITECH Act. This agreement ensures that any protected health information (PHI) transmitted during consultations is subject to administrative, physical, and technical safeguards in compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164).
Session Recording: Consultation sessions are not recorded unless you provide explicit consent. No protected health information is shared with third parties except as permitted under HIPAA or as required by law.
Client-Side Health Tools: Our free health tools (calculators and analyzers at drpaulkilgore.com) and the DrPaul mobile application process all data locally in your web browser or on your device. No health data from these tools is transmitted to, stored on, or accessible by our servers.
AI-Powered Health Tools: Some tools on this platform use AI (Anthropic Claude) to generate educational biomarker interpretations and health content. Data entered into these tools is transmitted securely for AI processing but is not stored after your session ends. For complete details, see our AI Use Disclosure at drpaulkilgore.com/ai-disclosure.
6. Disclosure of Information
We disclose your information only under specific circumstances:
- To Healthcare Providers: We may share your information with healthcare providers, but only with your explicit consent.
- For Legal Reasons: If required by law, such as in response to a court order or subpoena, we may disclose your information. In such cases, we will attempt to inform you of the disclosure unless prohibited by law.
