1. Introduction
Quadline Systems, LLC ("Quadline Systems," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to safeguarding personal data and practice information. This Privacy Policy applies to our website (quadlinesystems.com), marketing communications, software applications, and practice growth services (collectively, the "Services").
When healthcare practices deploy Quadline Systems to manage patient intake, scheduling, SMS reminders, and recall automation, the handling of Protected Health Information (PHI) is governed by our Business Associate Agreement (BAA) executed with each Covered Entity pursuant to HIPAA (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164). This Privacy Policy covers website visitors and general user interaction, while supplementing our formal BAA governance.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information across three primary channels:
- Information You Provide Directly: Name, professional title, practice or organization name, work email address, phone number, billing details, specialty area, and any inquiries submitted through contact forms or demonstration requests.
- Automated Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device operating system, referring URL, timestamped interaction events, and site navigation metrics captured through essential server logs and privacy-first analytics.
- Practice Operational Data & PHI (Under BAA): When a practice integrates Quadline Systems, we process appointment schedule slots, patient contact identifiers, intake responses, and message status logs solely to perform requested services under the direction of the practice.
3. How We Use Information
We process collected data exclusively for explicit operational purposes:
- To deliver, configure, and maintain the Practice Revenue Operating System.
- To authenticate authorized practice personnel and secure account access.
- To send administrative updates, security alerts, and system notices regarding your deployment.
- To verify carrier-compliant A2P 10DLC SMS registration and deliver transactional appointment pings.
- To fulfill legal, regulatory, and audit obligations under HIPAA and state laws.
Our Strict AI Model Training Pledge
Customer content, clinical records, patient responses, and Protected Health Information (PHI) processed through Quadline Systems are strictly confidential. Quadline Systems NEVER uses practice content or PHI to train public or foundation AI models.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable data protection frameworks apply (including state privacy acts and GDPR), we rely on the following legal grounds:
- Contractual Performance: Providing services requested under your practice subscription agreement and BAA.
- Legitimate Business Interests: Securing infrastructure, preventing fraud, and optimizing system uptime.
- Consent: Where explicit opt-in consent is captured for communications or digital intake.
- Legal Obligation: Maintaining audit records as mandated by healthcare regulations and carrier standards.
6. Business Associate Agreements & HIPAA Governance
Quadline Systems operates as a Business Associate for covered healthcare practices. Prior to processing any Protected Health Information (PHI), Quadline Systems executes a standard or custom Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with the practice.
Under our BAA, Quadline Systems maintains administrative, physical, and technical safeguards in compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C) and HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart E). Practice data is processed only as permitted under the BAA and relevant state healthcare regulations.
7. Mobile Information & A2P 10DLC Non-Sharing Provision
Telecommunications Carrier Compliance Disclosure
Mobile information and SMS opt-in consent data will NOT be shared, sold, rented, or leased to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes under any circumstances.
All text messaging originator data, opt-in consent records, and phone numbers captured for appointment reminders or intake confirmations are utilized strictly for transaction fulfillment and practice operational messaging in compliance with CTIA and carrier A2P 10DLC policies.
8. Data Retention & Return
We retain personal data and practice records for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or required by contractual agreement. Upon contract termination or written request from a practice, Protected Health Information is returned or securely destroyed in accordance with BAA terms and NIST SP 800-88 sanitization standards.
9. Security Safeguards
Quadline Systems maintains multi-layered security controls to safeguard data integrity:
- Encryption Standards: AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 encryption for data in transit.
- Access Governance: Role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and least-privilege administrative access.
- Monitoring & Audit Logs: Continuous infrastructure monitoring, immutable audit logging, and automated threat detection.
10. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction and state residency (including California CCPA/CPRA rights), you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. You may also opt out of promotional communications at any time.
To exercise these rights or submit a privacy inquiry, contact our Data Protection team at privacy@quadlinesystems.com.
11. Children's Privacy
Our Services are business-to-business tools intended for healthcare practice operators and personnel. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under 16 through our public website. Pediatric patient data processed on behalf of covered practices is governed strictly by the practice BAA and HIPAA rules.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, carrier regulations, or service enhancements. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
