 Is Google Health covered byHIPAA?

 Unlike a doctor or health plan, Google Health is not regulated by the
 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a federal
 law that establishes data confidentiality standards for patient health
 information. This is because Google does not store data on behalf of
 health care providers. Instead, our primary relationship is with you,
 the user. UnderHIPAA, you have a right to obtain a copy of your
 medical records. If you choose to use Google Health, we'll help you
 store and manage your medical records online.

 Although Google Health is not covered byHIPAA, we are committed to
 protecting your privacy. Our Google Health privacy policy governs what
 information Google Health collects and how we use it, and any
 violation of that policy can be enforced by the Federal Trade
 Commission, which takes action against companies that engage in unfair
 and deceptive trade practices -- including violations of their privacy
 policies.
