1. Acceptance
By using HIPAAPath ("the Application"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Application.
2. Self-Help Tool — Not Legal or Regulatory Advice
HIPAAPath is an educational self-help tool. It is not legal advice, regulatory certification, or a guarantee of HIPAA compliance.
The Application generates documentation to assist you in organizing and reflecting on your security safeguards. Completing an audit through HIPAAPath does not constitute a formal HIPAA risk analysis under 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1), though it is designed to be substantially aligned with NIST SP 800-66r2 guidance. You are responsible for consulting qualified legal and compliance professionals to assess your specific situation.
Output from this tool uses the language "Safeguard Documented" or "Safeguard Completed" — not "HIPAA Compliant" — because compliance is a legal determination made by qualified professionals or regulatory authorities.
3. Permitted Use
You may use HIPAAPath to:
- Document your practice's security safeguards for internal audit purposes.
- Generate a Security Risk Analysis & Management Manual for your own records.
- Identify security gaps and build a remediation plan.
You may not use HIPAAPath to:
- Enter, store, or transmit patient Protected Health Information (PHI).
- Misrepresent the output as a certified compliance report to regulators, payers, or business associates.
- Reverse engineer, scrape, or resell the Application.
4. Your Data
All audit data you create is stored in your own Google Drive. You own it. We do not claim any rights to your data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Application is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. TDM Technologies LLC does not warrant that the Application is error-free, that regulatory requirements will not change, or that use of the Application will result in any particular regulatory outcome.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TDM Technologies LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Application, including any regulatory fines or penalties.
7. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms. Continued use of the Application after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. The effective date above reflects the most recent revision.
