This Privacy Policy describes how Lexa Records (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information obtained through our website and online portal (the “Portal”). The Portal is provided to support authorized record requests, client services, and related projects. We are committed to protecting personal information, maintaining security, and complying with applicable privacy and data protection laws. Lexa Records acts as a Business Associate to healthcare providers and processes PHI on their behalf under executed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)

5. How We Disclose Informatio

We disclose information only as permitted by HIPAA and applicable law, including:

  • To our Healthcare Provider clients, in connection with providing Release of Information services on their behalf, including processing requests and supporting required accounting of disclosures
  • To authorized third parties, such as patients or their authorized representatives, legal requestors with valid authority, and vendors that support secure hosting, encryption, authentication, auditing, or file transmission (all subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations and Business Associate Agreements, where required)
  • When required by law, including in response to court orders, subpoenas, public health authorities, or law enforcement requests, as legally permitted

Lexa Records does not sell, rent, or share PHI for advertising, marketing, or other commercial purposes.

6. Data Security

Lexa Records maintains reasonable safeguards to protect information passed through the Portal. These measures are consistent with HIPAA Security Rule requirements and industry best practices. While we use reasonable safeguards, no system is completely secure. Users should also follow best practices to protect their own login credentials and account access. Users assume responsibility for the security of any PHI they download, store, or transmit outside of the Portal. In the event of a security incident or breach, Lexa Records follows HIPAA Breach Notification Rule obligations and contractual notification requirements to affected parties.

7. Data Retention

Lexa Records retains information, including PHI, only as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill requests or complete services
  • Meet minimum retention periods under applicable state and federal laws

Downloadable files are time-limited and expire. Lexa follows documented retention and secure destruction policies to protect sensitive information. Users assume responsibility for the security and handling of any PHI they download, transmit, or store outside the Portal

8. Your Choices & Rights

This Privacy Policy does not replace a healthcare provider’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices and that patient rights under HIPAA are exercised through the provider. Lexa Records maintains safeguards and procedures to comply with HIPAA and applicable law. Users of the Portal have limited rights regarding information submitted through the system, including:
Submitting or correcting information you personally provide through the Portal
Revoking authorizations, where permitted under HIPAA and applicable law
Requests may require identity verification to protect privacy and security. Note: Access to or correction of PHI held by healthcare provider clients must be requested directly from the provider, as the Portal is a service platform and does not provide full patient record management functionality.

The Portal uses essential cookies and similar technologies for security, session management, and fraud prevention. We do not use tracking technologies for advertising.
