Enterprise Privacy & Contracting

Security Incident Response

LinguaLinQ.ai is built so that Protected Health Information never enters or persists in the system. In the event of a security incident, we will:

  1. Investigate - Promptly investigate the incident
  2. Contain - Take immediate steps to mitigate harm
  3. Notify - Inform affected customers promptly upon discovery
  4. Document - Maintain detailed incident documentation
  5. Report - Assist customers with any notifications they are required to make
  6. Remediate - Implement measures to prevent recurrence

Patient Rights

LinguaLinQ.ai's platform design supports patient rights under HIPAA:

  • No Recording: Video and audio are never recorded
  • Minimal Data: We process only what's necessary for translation
  • Immediate Deletion: Session data is deleted when calls end
  • Access Rights: Patients can request their account data

Compliance Verification

Our zero-PHI design and security posture rest on:

  • Regular internal audits
  • Continuous monitoring and improvement

Disclaimer

While LinguaLinQ.ai maintains HIPAA-aligned, zero-PHI infrastructure:

  • Healthcare providers remain responsible for their own HIPAA compliance
  • PHI is never captured, so there is nothing to store, breach, or destroy
  • Users should verify compliance with their organization's policies
  • This page does not constitute legal advice
