Despite not being a requirement within HIPAA, Datica understands and appreciates the importance of health data retention. Acting as a subcontractor, and at times a business associate, Datica is not directly responsible for health and medical records retention as set forth by each state. Despite this, Datica has created and implemented the following policy to make it easier for Datica Customers to support data retention laws.
- Current Datica Customers have data stored by Datica as a part of the Datica Service.
- Once a Customer ceases to be a Customer, as defined below, the following steps are
- Customer is sent a notice via email of change of standing, and given the option to reinstate account.
- If no response to notice in #1 above within 7 days, or if Customer responds they do not want to reinstate account, Customer is sent directions for how to download their data from Datica and/or to have Datica continue to store the data at a rate of $25/month for up to 100GB. If there is more than 100GB of data, Datica will work with Customer to determine storage costs.
- If Customer downloads data or does not respond to notices from Datica within 30 days, Datica removed data from Datica systems and Customer is sent notice of removal of data.
