Quality Software Systems collects anonymous information, which is not
unique to you, about your computer hardware and software. This information

referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Quality Software
Systems for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service,
and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Quality Software
Systems Web site.
Quality Software Systems encourages you to review the privacy statements of
Web sites you choose to link to from Quality Software Systems so that you can
understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information.
Quality Software Systems is not responsible for the privacy statements or
other content on Web sites outside of the Quality Software Systems and Quality
Software Systems family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
Quality Software Systems collects and uses your personal information to
operate the Quality Software Systems web sites and deliver the services

available from Quality Software Systems and its affiliates. Quality Software
Systems may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your
opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
Quality Software Systems does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists
to third parties. Quality Software Systems may, from time to time, contact
you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that
may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable

the third party. In addition, Quality Software Systems may share data with

Quality Software Systems keeps track of the pages our customers visit

are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content
within Quality Software Systems to customers whose behavior indicates that
they are interested in a particular subject area.
Quality Software Systems Web sites will disclose your personal information,
without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or
comply with legal process served on Quality Software Systems or the site;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of Quality Software Systems;
and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of

Use of Cookies
The Quality Software Systems web site uses "cookies" to help you personalize
your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard
disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver
viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only
be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature
to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that
you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize
Quality Software Systems pages, or register with Quality Software Systems
site or services, a cookie helps Quality Software Systems to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of
recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping
addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Quality Software Systems
Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you
can easily use the Quality Software Systems features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies,
you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the
Quality Software Systems services or web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Quality Software Systems secures your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. Quality Software Systems secures the personally
identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled,
secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to
other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Quality Software Systems will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy
to reflect company and customer feedback. Quality Software Systems encourages
you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Quality
Software Systems is protecting your information.

HIPAA Compliance Statement
Quality Software Systems, Inc.
What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act became law in
August 1996.Known as HIPAA, it was designed to set in motion a series of
widespread measures focusing on simplifying the processing and distribution
of medical information, improving the portability of health Insurance,
giving patients access to medical information, and protecting patient data
that is stored, processed, or transmitted across public networks.
What's a "HIPAA-compliant" Web Site?
A Web Site that is "HIPAA-compliant" is one that provides the physical and
technological security measures required to ensure that any patient
information, physician-patient correspondence and other sensitive information
remains secure, confidential and unable to be digitally intercepted or
otherwise accessed by outside parties. In short, a "HIPPA-compliant" Web Site
means all required steps have been taken to keep private information
private - It's a "safe" Web Site.
Is a Quality Software Systems, Inc. Web Site "safe?"
Yes, the Quality Software Systems, Inc. web sites are safe. Since each Web
Site (e.g. https://powerdocsystems.com and https://LabHealth.com) can
provide patient information, we have ensured that each Quality Software
Systems, Inc. Web Site complies with all current HIPAA guidelines. We are
pleased to reassure people that its Internet security measures are continually
updated and monitored and that all patient results transactions are protected
and safe.
NOTE: Secure pages (https:) will display a "lock" on your browser window,
indicating that all the information submitted through that page is encrypted
and protected.
How is the information protected?
There are a number of ways that we ensure the security of your information…
Encryption. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your
information from your computer to our servers. When you transmit personal
information to us, we encrypt it using Secure Socket Layer (128 bit SSL),
the industry-standard encryption technology. Encryption provides a secure
means to protect your information as it passes over the Web to our servers.
Firewalls. Our servers and other technical infrastructure are protected from
network intrusion using firewalls and other means.
Internal Access. Our employees and contractors have occasional, legitimate
needs to access our data servers for purposes of system troubleshooting and
maintenance. We ensure that such access is granted only to those who have
such needs. All such individuals have signed confidentiality agreements and
are continually made aware of their obligations regarding user information.
Access is controlled via pre-assigned user accounts that require multiple
levels of authentication. All staff members are periodically trained regarding
security protection of their personal workstations.
Physical Site Security. The facilities that house our servers, network
devices, backup data storage media, and other equipment and information
are physically secured and attended. Access is strictly limited to only
those individuals who require it for a legitimate purpose.
Policies and Procedures. We continuously evolve and update our internal
information security policies and our business continuity and disaster
recovery plans. We perform risk assessment, security audit, and system-test
activities on an ongoing basis. Our employees and contractors receive
frequent training and/or reminders regarding information security and
protecting the confidentiality of your information.
Standards and Regulations. We are committed to meet or exceed regulatory
and industry self-regulatory guidelines regarding privacy, confidentiality,
and information security. On an ongoing basis, we will review and adapt to
statutes, regulations, formal private-sector standards, and informal policy
guidelines as they apply. In particular, we will comply with all applicable
provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
rules for information security as those take effect.
User Passwords. When you register with us to access protected information,
your personal information is password protected, so only you have access
to it. It is your responsibility to ensure the security of your User ID
and password. If you believe this security has been violated, please
contact Quality Software Systems, Inc. by phone, 845-352-4313.
