Effective: October 6, 2026
Primary Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a Primary.Health (referred to as “Primary.Health,” “Primary,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) owns and operates the website located at https://primary.health and its subdomains (the “Website”); its accompanying mobile application (the “Mobile Application”); the secure portals (our patient portal at my.primary.health) through which users access test results, vaccination records, and other services and records (the “Secure Portals”); our testing services and the programs we offer through employers, schools, public health agencies, and other organizations; and our tools for health care providers and public health agencies, including Health by Primary.Health (my.primary.health) and Vax by Primary.Health (the “Provider Tools”) (collectively, the “Services”). The Services enable users (“you” or “User”) to receive access to several types of healthcare information and services.
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the information Primary collects from Users of the Services and how we use and disclose it. Users include consumers and patients, administrators of organizations that offer our programs, health care professionals who use our Provider Tools, and visitors to our Website. Our California Privacy Notice includes definitions and content consistent with California law.
Our role, and therefore the rules that apply to your information, depends on the Service:
We do not use or disclose PHI for marketing, advertising, or any other purpose that HIPAA prohibits without your authorization.
Your access to and use of the Services is subject to our Terms of Service (https://www.primary.health/terms-of-service/) or, for the Provider Tools, our Provider Tools Terms of Service (https://www.primary.health/terms-of-service-provider-tools/).
We may need to update our Privacy Policy as we and our customers grow and evolve. If we make material changes, we will notify you at least thirty (30) days before they take effect by email (sent to the email address specified in your account), by posting a notice on the Services, or, for users of the Provider Tools, through the Provider Tools, as well as inform you of any choices you may have with respect to these changes.
Other changes take effect when we post them unless we state otherwise. We will not apply a material change to personal information we collected before the change takes effect in a way that is inconsistent with the Privacy Policy in effect when we collected it, unless we first obtain your consent or the change is required by law.
We collect and store information you provide through our Services.
When you register to use the Services, we may collect the following information from you:
In certain situations, we may also collect things like:
If you administer one of our programs on behalf of an employer, school, public health agency, or other organization, we collect your name, work contact information, organization, role, account credentials, and records of your activity in our administrator tools.
If you use a Provider Tool, such as Vax by Primary.Health, we collect information from you, your organization, and the platform through which you access the Provider Tool (such as Vim). This includes your name, email address, user and organization identifiers, role, National Provider Identifier (“NPI”), licensure, credentials, specialty, and prescriptive authority; your practice’s name, address, and taxpayer identification number; your settings and preferences; and records of your activity, including audit logs of the records you access. If you enroll in e-prescribing, we collect the information needed to verify your identity, and we receive your enrollment status from Surescripts.
We collect information about your interactions with us including, for example:
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the Services, remember your preferences, and, on our public Website and marketing pages, analyze how visitors use those pages. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not work without them. We do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.
We may receive information about you from organizations that offer our programs, health care providers, laboratories and other partners, platforms through which you access the Services (such as Vim), Surescripts, identity verification providers, and public sources such as the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System and state licensing databases.
When we provide Services on behalf of a health care provider or other organization, including through the Provider Tools, we process information about the organization’s patients or participants (“Patient Information”) on its behalf and use and disclose it only as our agreement with the organization and, where it applies, HIPAA permit: for example, to maintain the organization’s records, transmit orders and prescriptions, report to public health authorities, give patients access to their records, and send appointment communications on the organization’s behalf. Where a provider does not have its own immunization registry access, our affiliated medical group’s registry access may be used to retrieve records on the provider’s behalf.
We do not sell Patient Information. As our agreements and applicable law permit, we may de-identify Patient Information in accordance with HIPAA and use and disclose de-identified information to operate and improve our services, support research and public health, and publish aggregated insights; we do not re-identify it, and our contracts prohibit recipients from doing so. If a provider’s access to our Provider Tools is sponsored by another organization, we share Patient Information with the sponsor only as the provider authorizes and the law permits; sponsors otherwise receive information about use of the Provider Tools only in aggregate, never at the patient level. We do not share Patient Information with life sciences sponsors.
Immunization information systems are operated by public health jurisdictions under their own laws. Patients who wish to access, correct, or restrict their information should contact their health care provider or health department; we refer any request we receive to the appropriate organization.
We may combine or share information among current or future Primary.Health companies, including affiliates and subsidiaries.
We may share any information we receive with vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of our Services, which are bound by contract to protect it.
We share information with laboratories and other partners that help us provide testing and other health services, and we report information to public health authorities as required by law, such as reportable test results and immunizations.
If you participate in a program offered through your employer, school, or another organization, we share your test results and other information with that organization with your consent, as described when you enroll in the program.
If you use our Provider Tools, we share information with your organization (including administrators, who can see your activity and settings); with the platform through which you access the Provider Tools, such as Vim; with pharmacies, immunization registries, clinics, and other recipients as needed to provide the Provider Tools, such as by including your name, credentials, and NPI in prescriptions, registry reports, and registry query logs; and, at your direction when you enroll in e-prescribing, with Surescripts to enroll you, list you in its prescriber directory, and route your prescriptions, which Surescripts may use as its agreements permit. If your access is sponsored by another organization, we share with that sponsor your enrollment status and the usage information the program is set up to report, in aggregate form that does not identify any patient; we share prescribing information only as our agreement with Surescripts permits and never share prescribing or administration data about identifiable providers with life sciences sponsors.
We also may share personal information other than health information in connection with co-branded product or service offerings (including sharing such information with business partners to validate offers). We never share PHI or information about users of the Provider Tools for these purposes.
On our public Website and marketing pages, we use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use those pages. We do not use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics or advertising technology on logged-in pages of the Services, on pages where you enter health information before logging in, such as test registration, scheduling, or intake forms, or on any page that displays PHI. We have configured Google Analytics so that Google processes this data only on our behalf, with Google’s advertising features turned off. Learn more about Google’s privacy practices.
Sometimes we may be required to share personal information for legal reasons, for example, if we are required to do so by a regulation, court order, subpoena or other legal process. We may also share information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law or to respond to a government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect Primary.Health, our customers, or others. We disclose PHI for these purposes only as HIPAA permits.
We may share personal information in the event of a corporate sale, merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganization, divestiture, dissolution, liquidation, or similar event.
We may also disclose your information with your permission.
We may also disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
We use a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed, under a risk-based approach, to protect the confidentiality of your information, including safeguards consistent with HIPAA where it applies. However, as set forth in our Terms of Service, we cannot and do not guarantee the security of information transmitted to us.
You also can do your part to help protect the information you provide to us, create a strong password, use that password only on our Services, and not share your password with anyone – especially anyone claiming to work with us. We would never contact you and ask for your password – ever.
We retain your information for a time period specifically required or allowed by applicable regulations or laws and as needed to fulfill legitimate business purposes, including providing you products and services, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Our retention of information is based on many factors such as your relationship with Primary.Health or our customers, the nature of the information, compliance with our legal obligations, and defending or resolving actual or anticipated legal claims. For example, we retain audit logs and records of acceptance of our agreements for at least six years, and records of e-prescribing transactions for at least five years. We retain PHI as described in our agreements with the organizations we serve and as the law requires.
You may at any time:
To do any of these, let us know by one of these methods:
Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent; if you believe a child has provided it, contact us as described below. A parent or guardian may register a minor and manage the minor’s information, and minors may participate in programs offered through schools and other organizations with the consent the program and applicable law require. Where state law allows a minor who is at least 13 to consent to certain health services on the minor’s own, we handle the minor’s information as that law requires.
Our Services may link to or interoperate with third-party websites and services (for example, the Provider Tools interoperate with Vim, electronic health record systems, immunization registries, e-prescribing networks, and scheduling systems). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices; please review their policies.
1. By supplying your phone number when you register or schedule a service, you consent to receive transactional text messages regarding your appointments, test results, and related logistics. If a health care provider uses our Provider Tools to schedule an appointment for you, you may also receive messages about that appointment that we send on the provider’s behalf.
2. You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text “STOP” to the short code, or tell us in any other reasonable way that you no longer want to receive messages. After you send the SMS message “STOP” to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.
3. If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at support@primary.health or 1-855-970-3223.
4. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages
5. As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. You will receive 5-6 messages per appointment. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.
6. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of any purchase, and we will honor opt-out requests as the law requires.
Our Services are intended for Users located within the United States. We store and process personal information in the United States, and we require the service providers that handle it for us to do the same. If you choose to use the Services from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable law regarding your personal information, which may include the right to know or access the personal information we have collected about you, to correct inaccurate information, to delete your information, to obtain a portable copy, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or its use for targeted advertising or certain profiling. To submit a request, visit our Privacy Center at https://privacy.primary.health, email privacy@primary.health, or call 1-855-970-3223. We will verify your request, may accept requests from authorized agents where the law permits, and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our response or by emailing privacy@primary.health with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal.” These rights do not apply to PHI or other Patient Information that we process on behalf of a health care provider or other organization; please direct requests about that information to the provider or organization.
