Your Access to and Control Over Information

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website: Care@AberdeenAtHome.com

  • See what data we have about you, if any.
  • Change/correct any data we have about you.
  • Have us delete any data we have about you.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, we do our best to protect your information both online and offline. However, please never send your credit card number, social security number, or personal passwords through our website. Unfortunately, no online data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as, when you submit any personal information about your elder loved one via the Contact Us Page) that information is encrypted and securely transmitted to us. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the Web page’s address.

While we do our best to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our Nurse Case Managers) are granted access to personally identifiable information. In addition, the computers/files we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

HIPAA

The Aberdeen Team is trained and committed to HIPAA compliance. Information is kept private by:

  • Teaching the people who work for us how your information may and may not be used and shared,
  • Taking appropriate and reasonable steps to keep your health information secure.

To make sure that your information is protected in a way that does not interfere with your home health care, your information can be used and shared after we obtain a signed HIPAA Privacy Authorization Form from you:

  • For your treatment and care coordination,
  • With your Long-Term Care Insurance company if we are submitting on your behalf,
  • With your family, relatives, friends or others you identify who are involved with your home health care or your home health care bills, unless you object,
  • To make required reports to the police or elder protective services.

Your health information can only be used or shared with your written permission if the law allows it.

The pages on our website may contain links to other sites, mainly for the purpose of education. While we will not link to sites that we know to be malicious, please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. Therefore, we encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

We may use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors. For example, cookies can enable us to track traffic data and target our users’ interests to enhance the experience on our site.
