Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
ASKARX LLC DBA RxGranted ("we," "our," "us") operates rxgranted.com and provides prior authorization letter preparation and submission services to independent medical practices. We are committed to protecting the privacy of both our business clients and the patients whose health information we handle on their behalf.
This policy applies to all information collected through our website, onboarding forms, client portal, and service delivery processes.
2. Information We Collect
Practice and Contact Information
When you sign up or contact us, we collect:
- Practice name, specialty, and NPI number
- Practice address, phone number, and email
- Your name, title, and role at the practice
- Payer relationships and estimated PA volume
Protected Health Information (PHI)
PHI we may receive includes:
- Patient demographics (name, date of birth, insurance ID)
- Diagnoses, medication history, and clinical documentation
- Insurance plan details and payer information
- Clinical notes and supporting medical records
PHI is used exclusively to prepare and submit prior authorization requests on behalf of the treating provider. Where Protected Health Information is involved, RxGranted's handling of such information is governed primarily by HIPAA, the applicable Business Associate Agreement, and the instructions of the Client as Covered Entity.
Payment Information
Subscription payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. We do not store, process, or transmit full credit card numbers. We retain subscription status, plan tier, and billing history for account management purposes.
Website Usage
We do not use tracking cookies, third-party analytics, ad pixels, or individual-identifying usage data. Only functional session cookies required for authentication and form state are used.
3. How We Use Your Information
- PA Services: Preparing, reviewing, and (for Full Service clients) submitting prior authorization letters and appeals to payers
- Account Communication: Sending case updates, portal credentials, billing notices, and service-related emails
- Payment Processing: Managing subscriptions, invoices, and additional PA case billing via Stripe
- Service Improvement: Reviewing operational metrics (such as turnaround time and case volume) to improve service quality
4. HIPAA Compliance
RxGranted operates as a Business Associate as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the HITECH Act. We execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every client prior to handling any Protected Health Information.
- We apply the minimum necessary standard — only the PHI required to perform the requested PA service is accessed or used
- Security safeguards are implemented per 45 CFR §§ 164.308–164.312 (Administrative, Physical, and Technical safeguards)
- We maintain a Breach Notification program in compliance with 45 CFR § 164.400 et seq.
- Security Officer: Umair Ahmad, PharmD
Our BAA is incorporated by reference into every client agreement. View the full HIPAA BAA here.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information:
- Encryption at rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored data
- Encryption in transit: TLS 1.2 or higher for all data transmission
- Access controls: Role-based access control (RBAC) with least-privilege principles; unique user credentials required
- Audit logging: Access to PHI is logged and retained for compliance purposes
- Risk assessments: Regular security risk assessments conducted per HIPAA Security Rule requirements
- Workforce training: All personnel with PHI access complete HIPAA training before access and annually thereafter
- Device security: All devices used to access PHI are encrypted, password-protected, and subject to remote wipe capability
6. Data Sharing
We share information only as necessary to perform our services:
- Payer portals (Full Service plan only): PA submissions are made to insurance payer portals with client authorization
- Supabase: US-based, SOC 2 compliant cloud database used for client account and case management
- Google Workspace: Used for internal communication and document handling; subject to our BAA
- Stripe: Payment processing only; Stripe never receives PHI
7. Data Retention
- PHI and clinical records: Retained for 6 years following the end of the client relationship, then securely destroyed per NIST SP 800-88 (electronic) or shredding (paper)
- Financial and billing records: Retained for 7 years per applicable tax and accounting requirements
- Account and contact data: Retained until you request deletion, subject to legal retention obligations
- Website logs: Retained for 90 days, then purged
8. Your Rights
As a client or as an individual whose PHI we handle, you have the following rights:
- Access: Request a copy of information we hold about you or your patients
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data (subject to retention obligations)
- PHI Disclosure Accounting: Request an accounting of disclosures of your patients' PHI, as required under HIPAA
- HHS Complaint: File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights at hhs.gov/ocr if you believe your HIPAA rights have been violated
- State Privacy Laws: Residents of certain states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws; contact us to inquire
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
9. Cookies and Tracking
We use only functional cookies necessary for session management and authentication. Specifically:
- Session cookies to maintain your logged-in state in the client portal
- Form state cookies to preserve onboarding progress
We do not use:
- Advertising or behavioral tracking cookies
- Third-party analytics pixels (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel)
- Individual-identifying usage tracking
10. Children's Privacy
Our services are designed for healthcare practices and their administrative staff — not for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a minor, we will delete it promptly.
PHI related to pediatric patients may be processed as part of PA services when submitted by a licensed healthcare provider — this is governed by HIPAA and our BAA, not this policy section.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we do:
- The updated policy will be posted at rxgranted.com/privacy/ with a new effective date
- Material changes will be communicated to active clients via email at least 14 days before taking effect
- Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy
