Encrypted transmission (AirDrop, secure channels)
PHI warnings at export points
Local-only storage (no cloud transmission)

However, YOU remain solely responsible for HIPAA compliance.

2. Your Responsibility for HIPAA Compliance

YOU (the user) are solely responsible for:

Ensuring your use complies with HIPAA and applicable laws
Following your organization's policies and procedures
Properly handling Protected Health Information (PHI)
Using device security (passcode, Face ID, encryption)
Sharing data only with authorized personnel
Maintaining patient confidentiality

The developer is NOT a Business Associate under HIPAA. We do not access, transmit, or store your patient data. All data remains on YOUR device.

3. Medical Disclaimer

This app is a documentation tool, NOT medical advice.

Always follow your training, protocols, and medical direction.

The developer is NOT LIABLE for:

Clinical decisions made using this app
Errors or omissions in documentation
Medication dosing or treatment decisions
Patient outcomes or adverse events

Clinical Tools and Protocol References

MedicLog may present clinical tools, assessment scales, protocol references, or third-party app integrations based on user selections. All such tools are presented in response to choices made by the licensed clinician. MedicLog does not diagnose, recommend treatment, or direct patient care. All clinical decisions remain the sole responsibility of the licensed clinician using the app in accordance with their training, scope of practice, and applicable medical protocols.

4. Data Storage and Security

All data stored locally on YOUR device only
YOU are responsible for device security
