HIPAA Compliance

ClearVIEW Aesthetics is committed to supporting the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This page outlines our approach to HIPAA compliance and the measures in place to protect patient data within the ClearVIEW system.

Understanding HIPAA and Skin Analysis Devices

Under HIPAA, covered entities (including healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses) and their business associates are required to implement safeguards to protect PHI. When ClearVIEW is used in a clinical setting to capture and store patient skin analysis data, that data may constitute PHI if it is linked to an identifiable individual.

It is the responsibility of the covered entity — the practice or provider using ClearVIEW — to ensure that patient data is handled in accordance with HIPAA requirements. ClearVIEW and AMS Healthcare support this obligation by providing a secure, cloud-based data storage system with appropriate technical safeguards.

Patient Consent

Providers using ClearVIEW are responsible for obtaining appropriate patient consent prior to capturing and storing skin analysis data. This includes informing patients about how their data will be used, stored, and shared, and obtaining written authorization where required by applicable law.

Data Retention and Deletion

Patient records stored in the ClearVIEW cloud system can be managed, retained, and deleted in accordance with your practice's data retention policies. Providers retain control over their patient data and can request deletion of records as needed to comply with patient requests or applicable regulations.

Breach Notification

In the event of a data security incident that may affect patient PHI, ClearVIEW and AMS Healthcare will notify affected covered entities in accordance with HIPAA's Breach Notification Rule. Providers are responsible for notifying affected patients and relevant authorities as required by law.
