In those limited circumstances, we are bound by more stringent legal and contractual confidentiality obligations to the Providers, and this Privacy Policy does not apply. If you have questions about how such health information is used or shared, please contact your Provider. We do not control and are not responsible for Providers’ privacy and data collection practices. This Notice also does not apply to Ascensia job applicants or our employees.
