Mobile Information and Marketing
SOULSKIN does not sell, rent, or share mobile information, including phone numbers, SMS registration data, or messaging content, with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes under any circumstances. Mobile information is used solely to support operational communications related to the services provided through the Platform, such as appointment coordination, payment notifications, account alerts, and secure service-related messaging.
Use of Consumer Data
We use consumer data, including contact information, to:
- Create and manage user and patient accounts
- Facilitate appointment scheduling, billing, and secure communications
- Provide customer support and respond to inquiries
- Comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations
- Maintain the security, integrity, and performance of the Platform
Consumer data is never used or shared for third-party advertising or marketing.
Data Sharing and Transfer Restrictions
SOULSKIN does not transfer consumer personal data to external organizations for their independent use. Data may be shared only with vetted service providers acting solely on our behalf (such as HIPAA-eligible hosting, payment processors, and communications infrastructure providers), and only to the extent necessary to deliver services. All such providers are subject to strict contractual, confidentiality, and security obligations.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards — including access controls, audit logging, and monitoring — to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of consumer data.
Opt-Out Rights for Messaging
You may opt out of receiving SMS messages from us at any time by replying STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE to any message you receive. After opting out, you will no longer receive SMS messages unless you re-enroll.

PHI is retained for the period mandated by applicable federal and state laws or as directed by the Practice. Upon termination of the BAA or at the Practice’s written request, SOULSKIN will securely return or destroy PHI in accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.504(e)(2)(J).
8. Patient Rights
Requests to access, amend, or restrict PHI should be directed to the Practice. SOULSKIN will assist the Practice in fulfilling such requests as required by HIPAA.
9. International Users
The Platform is intended for use within the United States. If you access the Platform from outside the U.S., you acknowledge that your data will be processed and stored in the U.S.
