🛡️ Web Policies

Committed to Privacy, Accessibility, and Compliance

At Lotus Healthcare and Research, your trust means everything to us. As a healthcare organization operating online through www.LotusHealthcare.net, we believe in full transparency regarding how we collect, protect, and use your information. That’s why we’ve published a full suite of web policies — not just to meet legal requirements, but to demonstrate our proactive commitment to your rights and security.

🧭 Why Website Policies Matter

Modern websites are more than just digital brochures — they collect data, host forms, use cookies, and may even include patient engagement tools. Having clear and accessible website policies is essential because:

✅ Legal Compliance:
We operate in the healthcare sector, which is governed by strict federal regulations such as HIPAA, ADA, and state privacy laws. Our policies ensure we are compliant with:

  • The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

  • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (for international visitors)

  • The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar laws

✅ Building Trust:
Today’s users are cautious about how their information is collected and shared. By clearly stating our data use, privacy, and security practices, we show our patients, partners, and website visitors that we operate with transparency and integrity.

✅ Avoiding Liability:
Our Disclaimer and Terms of Use protect us from misinterpretation of medical content and user-generated submissions, while also outlining proper use of our website content.

✅ Improving Accessibility:
We’ve installed tools and made structural improvements so that our site is navigable and usable by all individuals, including those with disabilities.

✅ Future-Proofing:
With the rapid evolution of digital law and compliance standards, having robust web policies positions us ahead of future legal or regulatory changes.

🚀 Our Proactive Approach

We’ve implemented the following steps to ensure our digital operations are secure, compliant, and patient-centered:

  • Published nine key web policies covering privacy, HIPAA compliance, accessibility, cookies, terms of use, and more.

  • Included a dedicated ADA accessibility widget for users with visual or motor impairments.

  • Use secure forms with SSL encryption and never request sensitive data via insecure channels.

  • Maintain Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all third-party vendors that handle Protected Health Information (PHI).

  • Regularly review our website content, security protocols, and legal disclaimers to keep everything up-to-date.
