3. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

3.1 Wellness & AI-Generated Insights. Rima provides personalized health insights, risk scores, and gamified goals based on user-provided data and AI analysis.

3.2 Telemedicine Integration. Rima integrates with third-party Telemedicine Partners who provide virtual healthcare services. RIMA DOES NOT EMPLOY HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS OR PRACTICE MEDICINE. All medical services are provided by independent Telemedicine Partners and their Providers. Rima solely facilitates access to these third-party services.

3.3 Benefit Administration & Broker Tools. Employers and brokers may use Rima's software to manage employee benefits, enrollment, and Section 125 §213(d) compliant payments.

3.4 Data Sovereignty Infrastructure. Rima offers custodial data vaults, consent management tools, and FHIR-compatible APIs enabling users to control and share health data.

3.5 Third-Party Integrations. The Services may integrate with third-party APIs (e.g., HRIS, wearables). Rima is not responsible for third-party content or accuracy.

3.6 AI Services Disclosure. Our AI Services use machine learning models to analyze health data and generate insights. These are educational tools only and are not validated as medical devices. AI-generated content may contain errors and should not replace professional medical judgment.

3.7 No TPA Services. While we provide software tools for benefit administration, Rima is not a licensed Third Party Administrator and does not provide TPA services requiring state licensure.

4. USER ACCOUNTS & SECURITY

4.1 Account Creation. You must provide accurate, complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of login credentials and all activities under your account.

4.2 Account Restrictions. You may not share credentials or circumvent security features. You will immediately notify Rima of unauthorized use.

4.3 Multi-Factor Authentication. Given the sensitivity of health data, we strongly recommend enabling multi-factor authentication when available.

4.4 Minors. If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must create and manage your account. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent in compliance with COPPA.

5. TELEMEDICINE PARTNER SERVICES & DISCLAIMERS

5.1 Third-Party Medical Services. All telemedicine services are provided by independent Telemedicine Partners, not Rima. When you select telemedicine services:

  • You are establishing a relationship with the Telemedicine Partner and their Providers

  • The Telemedicine Partner's terms of service and privacy practices will also apply

  • Rima is not responsible for the medical care, clinical decisions, or malpractice of Telemedicine Partners

5.2 State-Specific Requirements. Telemedicine services are subject to state law. By using these services, you consent to:

  • Receiving care via audio, video, or text-based technology

  • The limitations of telemedicine (inability to perform physical exams, technology failures)

  • The recording of sessions if required by state law (with notice)

  • Interstate medical practice where permitted by law

5.3 No Rima Medical Advice. Except for content explicitly marked as provided by a licensed Provider through a Telemedicine Partner, all Rima content is educational only.

5.4 Emergencies. FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, CALL 911. The Platform cannot support emergency medical needs.

5.6 Provider Credentials. While Telemedicine Partners are responsible for verifying Provider credentials, you may request credential information directly from the Telemedicine Partner.

6. PRIVACY, SECURITY & DATA USE

6.1 HIPAA Compliance & Roles.

Clear HIPAA Framework:

  • When Rima IS a Business Associate:

    • Processing PHI on behalf of employer health plans

    • Receiving PHI from healthcare providers for care coordination

    • Managing benefits administration with PHI access

    • In these cases, we execute a BAA and comply with all HIPAA requirements

  • When Rima is NOT a Business Associate:

    • You directly upload your own health records for personal use

    • You use data sovereignty tools to share between third parties you select

    • You access general wellness features without employer/provider involvement

    • In these cases, Rima acts as a technology platform, not a Business Associate

Default Position: When the relationship is unclear, Rima will default to treating data with Business Associate-level protections to ensure maximum privacy protection.

6.2 Health Data Sovereignty. Rima honors user consent directives and provides tools to export or delete PHI, subject to legal retention requirements.

6.3 De-identification & Secondary Use.

Enhanced De-identification Framework:

  • We de-identify data in strict compliance with HIPAA Expert Determination or Safe Harbor methods

    • Contacting our Privacy team through the contact methods provided on our website with subject line "De-identification Opt-Out"

    • Your opt-out will be processed within 30 days

    • Previously de-identified data cannot be retroactively removed but will not be used in future commercial applications

  • Clear Commitment: We will never re-identify or attempt to re-identify any de-identified data

  • We comply with all state restrictions on health data commercialization (e.g., Nevada SB 220, California privacy laws)

  • New state law compliance will be implemented within 60 days of effectiveness

6.4 CCPA/CPRA, GDPR & State Rights. Residents of applicable jurisdictions may exercise statutory rights (access, deletion, opt-out of sale/share) via the Privacy Center. Rima does not sell PHI.

6.5 Security. Rima maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards compliant with NIST CSF and ISO 27001. You acknowledge that no system is 100% secure and agree to implement reasonable security on your own systems.

6.6 Data Incidents. Enhanced Breach Notification:

  • Rima will notify affected parties of a breach of unsecured PHI without unreasonable delay

  • For breaches affecting 500+ individuals: notification within 60 days as required by HIPAA

  • For smaller breaches: notification within 60 days of discovery

  • We will provide preliminary notification within 72 hours of discovering a breach likely to result in high risk to individuals

  • Notifications will include: nature of breach, types of information involved, steps taken, and recommendations for protection

6.7 Subprocessors & International Transfers. Rima uses vetted subprocessors under written agreements enforcing privacy and security obligations and, where applicable, executes SCCs or relies on other lawful transfer mechanisms.

6.8 Data Retention. Optimized Retention Policy:

  • PHI retained for six (6) years after last account activity or as required by law (whichever is longer)

  • "Last activity" means: last login, last data upload, last service interaction, or last payment

  • Users may request earlier deletion where legally permissible by contacting our Privacy team

  • Deletion requests processed within 30 days unless legal hold applies

  • Automatic deletion implemented after retention period expires

6.9 Cross-Border Transfers. Comprehensive International Transfer Framework:

  • Primary processing occurs in the United States

  • For EEA/UK residents: transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)

  • For other jurisdictions: appropriate safeguards per local law (e.g., consent, adequacy decisions)

  • Users may request information about transfer mechanisms through our Privacy team

  • Where legally required, users may object to international transfers (may limit service availability)

  • We maintain transfer impact assessments available upon request
