Storage of your data on Practice Better Nutrition Portal
On occasion we may store your personal data on the Practice Better Nutrition Portal where you may have exclusive access on a personal ‘log in’ basis to your Nutrition Protocols and Online Food Diary, as well as access to a private message service to Doctor Bodywell. Questionnaires, Terms of Engagement and Waivers will also be stored on the Portal.
Practice Better stores data in Canadian and US data centers. Both Canada and US (limited to Privacy Shield certified entities) are acknowledged as countries which provide adequate levels of data protection outside of the EU:
Although Practice Better is a Canadian-based company, we do work with a vendor based in the United States, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Data stored in AWS are primarily housed in Amazon's Canadian data centers, but we do rely on an American location for backup and redundancy purposes in some scenarios.
As per GDPR guidance, data can be stored by US-based entities as long as these entities are certified under the EU/US Privacy Shield.
Although Practice Better cannot directly certify under the Privacy Shield as we are not US-based, we rely on the security, policy, safeguards, and Privacy Shield certification achieved by Amazon to meet our GDPR requirements regarding data storage in the US.
Details on the Amazon Privacy Shield certification can be found here:

Practice Better have implemented several security mechanisms to keep your personal data safe.
We believe in transparency. The following guide highlights some of the ways Practice Better keeps your data safe and secured.
1. HIPAA and PIPEDA Compliance
We are fully compliant with HIPAA and PIPEDA regulations:
Need Practice Better Approach
Encryption Data is encrypted during transfer and at rest. We also encrypt all backups and log data
Minimum Necessary Access Access controls always default to no access unless overridden manually.
Physical Security Our servers are maintained by an SSAE 16 Type II provider which utilizes industry-leading security tools, and best practices.
Monitoring All network requests, successful and unsuccessful, are logged.
Auditing All log data is encrypted and unified, enabling secure access to full historical network activity records.
Vulnerability Scanning All customer and internal networks are scanned regularly for vulnerabilities.
Backup All customer data is backed up every 24 hours. Thirty (30) days of rolling backups are retained.
A HIPAA BAA is available upon request. Contact us if you have specific concerns about regulations outlined by your governing body.
2. Security in the browser
We do not persist your password in your browser cache. We also use secure cookies with a 30-60 minute lifespan. You will be asked to re-enter your login credentials if your session is idle for the allotted timeout period.
3. Encryption
All data sent between your browser and our servers are secured using the industry standard AES-256 bit encryption. Data stored on our servers is also encrypted using AES encryption algorithms.
4. Server & Backups
We store your data on encrypted hard drives on servers in North America.
Data backups are done nightly, so you can rest assured you won't lose sensitive data in the unlikely event of a disaster. Backups are stored for 30 days, after which they are purged from our system.
5. Auditing
We provide you with activity logs when your clients view, sign and complete forms and waivers. The logs include your clients' IP address and location. An IP address uniquely identifies a computer or mobile device on the Internet.
We may use your personal data where there is an overriding public interest in using the information e.g. in order to safeguard an individual, or to prevent a serious crime. Also where there is a legal requirement such as a formal court order. We may use your data for marketing purposes such as newsletters but this would be subject to you giving us your express consent.
Withdrawing Consent & Opting-out of the Practice Better Nutrition Portal
We can remove your data from the Nutrition Portal at any time when you make a request for us to do so either by email or secure communication within Practice Better (Secure Messaging).
The Portal stores backups of your data for 30 days.
We do not carry out any automated processing, which may lead to automated decision based on your personal data.
