3rd Party Vendor Security Standards: 3rd party vendors also adhere to privacy and security standards. This includes signing agreements that outline how patient data will be handled and protected.

Video Consultation Permissions: We ask for camera and audio permissions (CAMERA and RECORD_AUDIO) to facilitate video and audio consultations when a patient arranges a telehealth appointment.

File Upload Permissions: We request file storage permissions (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) to enable uploading photos or files, allowing patients to share documents with their medical team or save important information.

Bluetooth Access: We ask for Bluetooth permissions (BLUETOOTH/BLUETOOTH_ADMIN) to enable the usage of external microphones or headphones for your appointment.

COVID-19 Data Usage: PlushCare only uses the personal data it acquires for COVID-19-related purposes in conjunction with its app’s user-facing purpose.
