16. HIPAA and Health Data
Dental Cloud Technologies LLC is not a HIPAA Covered Entity and does not function as a Business Associate under HIPAA. OccluTrace does not provide treatment, process insurance claims, transmit HIPAA standard transactions, operate as a health plan, or serve as a healthcare clearinghouse.
OccluTrace is intended for de-identified 3D mesh files (STL, OBJ, PLY) containing surface geometry only — vertex coordinates and face indices. The standard service is not designed to receive patient names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, diagnostic codes, clinical notes, radiographic images, or other identifiers listed in 45 CFR 164.514.
Your responsibility. If you operate under HIPAA or similar health-data rules, you are responsible for ensuring that uploaded files do not contain Protected Health Information. Do not include patient names in file names — use case numbers or anonymous identifiers. Strip metadata before uploading. Document your use of OccluTrace in your technology assessment.
Business Associate Agreements. We do not offer Business Associate Agreements. Standard use involves processing de-identified geometric data that is not PHI. If your workflow requires a BAA or requires a vendor to create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI on behalf of a covered entity, do not use OccluTrace for that workflow. See the standalone HIPAA position for operational guidance.
If you believe PHI was uploaded accidentally, stop using the affected case, delete it from your account if possible, and contact us so we can assist with removal from active systems.
Nothing in this section constitutes legal or compliance advice. Consult your organization’s privacy officer or legal counsel regarding your HIPAA obligations.
