My interpretation of this article is that hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, etc. need to get links and repost icons for Facebook, Twitter, etc. OFF their websites. If you work for a big institution -- talk to your marketing team as they are used to doing this routinely. If you are a small provider, look at your website -- especially if you created it years ago back when no one thought of the problems and you just wanted some traffic.
TITLE: FTC, HHS warn health providers not to use tracking tech in websites, apps
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) sent a joint letter to about 130 hospital systems and telehealth providers Thursday, warning of security risks posed by tracking technologies such as the Meta/Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics.

Last RT - many mental health providers I know (myself included, though less often nowadays) use zoom for clinical work/meetings/teletherapy. We’ve been told by the company itself, by the health insurance industry, and by our agencies that it’s HIPAA compliant and safe/ confidential to use.
Is anyone out there talking about or able to explain the implications of the TOS change for this use case? #socialwork#telehealth#zoom#HIPAA
Zoom Video and Zoom Info are TWO DIFFERENT companies. Sorry everyone.
Still not a bad idea to get out of their database however.
This is Zoom's privacy policy. It is an amazing piece of legal engineering granting them the rights to buy, sell, and gather just about any data about business users they want -- including listing you in a Business or Professional Profile (the "directory"):
<https://www.zoominfo.com/about-zoominfo/privacy-policy>
This is their form to opt-out of all tracking in their database which they use to sell your information to 3rd parties. Somewhat ironically, this page won't work unless you turn-off Privacy Badger and Ghostery web browser plug-ins:
<https://www.zoominfo.com/privacy-center/update/remove>
If you use Zoom at work through a business account and don't wish to be listed, consider opting out. They are also collecting information from around the Web outside of Zoom apparently to help build out your profile.

「 The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is proposing a $7 million fine against Cerebral, a mental telehealth firm that it says not only was careless with patients’ data but actively shared it with third parties for advertising purposes. The company and its CEO, Kyle Robertson, are also accused of lying to customers about how their data is shared and of having a misleading cancellation policy 」
Global venture funding for digital health start-ups remains mired at low levels, as the number of investment deals in the second quarter of 2023 dropped to its lowest level in eight years.
This comes as a surprise because
1.) I've had the Rx filed by Walmart off-and-on over the past 20 years or so.
2.) I had no issues with #CVS / no idea that this was "a thing"
Now closer to a WM pharm vs the prev CVS, it made sense to have this month sent here
(Adderall patients are forced through this rigmarole every 30 days).
