Privacy and Security: Keeping Your Information Safe

---

At Behavior Therapy Services for Little Giants, we understand how important your privacy and security are. We’re committed to protecting the information of everyone we work with, including our Florida Medicaid recipients. Here’s how we ensure your data is safe with us:

1. Adhering to HIPAA Standards

We follow the strict guidelines of HIPAA to keep your health information private and secure. Just as you trust us to handle your information responsibly, we make sure that every detail is protected.

2. Complying with Florida Medicaid Guidelines

We’re well-versed in the privacy rules set by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Our team is dedicated to following these guidelines to ensure that your data remains confidential and secure.

3. Using Encryption for Data Security

All your information is encrypted, which means it’s locked up in a secure "vault" whether it's stored or transmitted. This encryption helps keep your data safe from unauthorized access.

4. Controlled Access

Only the necessary team members have access to your information. We regularly review and update who can see your data, ensuring that only those who need it for their work have access.

5. Collecting Only What’s Necessary

We only collect the information we need to provide you with the best services. This approach helps us minimize risk and focus on what matters most to your care.

6. Training Our Team

Our staff is trained on the best practices for handling sensitive information. We make sure everyone understands the importance of privacy and knows how to keep your data secure.

7. Regular Security Check-Ups

We conduct regular audits to check our security practices. These "health check-ups" help us spot and fix any potential issues before they become problems.

8. Having a Response Plan

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have a clear plan in place to address and manage the situation swiftly, minimizing any impact on your information.

9. Secure Communication

We use secure methods to share sensitive information. This ensures that your details are sent safely and privately, just as you would expect.

10. Ensuring Physical Security

Our office and data centers are equipped with robust security measures to prevent unauthorized physical access to any sensitive information.

11. Respecting Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to access and update your own information. We make it easy for you to review and correct your data whenever needed.

Your trust is important to us, and we are committed to keeping your information safe and secure. If you have any questions about our privacy and security practices, please feel free to contact us.
