Privacy Policy

Protecting your private information is a priority for Deserved Family Care, LLC (“Deserved Family Care,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information obtained through our website, communications, and services.

We do not collect personal information from you unless you voluntarily provide it to us or it is otherwise necessary for us to provide services, employ or contract with you, respond to your inquiries, or meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

Depending on your relationship with Deserved Family Care, information we collect may include your name, contact information, employment information, service-related information, and other information necessary to provide or coordinate services.

We use personal information only for legitimate business, employment, care coordination, administrative, regulatory, and service-related purposes.

Deserved Family Care takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

Protected Health Information

In providing services, Deserved Family Care may receive, create, maintain, or transmit information relating to an individual's health, disability, services, or support needs.

When information is considered Protected Health Information (“PHI”) under applicable law, Deserved Family Care handles that information in accordance with applicable federal and Pennsylvania privacy requirements, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), when applicable.

Additional rights and information regarding PHI may be described in Deserved Family Care's Notice of Privacy Practices.

​

Sharing Information with Third Parties

Deserved Family Care does not sell, rent, or lease personal information or customer lists to third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share personal information with service providers, contractors, government agencies, supports coordinators, healthcare or service professionals, payroll or administrative vendors, and other parties when necessary to provide services, operate our organization, comply with applicable requirements, or when authorized by the individual or their representative.

We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, including when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, government request, or other legal process;

  • Comply with Medicaid, Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs (“ODP”), Department of Human Services, or other regulatory requirements;

  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of Deserved Family Care, the individuals we support, our employees, or others;

  • Prevent or respond to suspected fraud, abuse, neglect, exploitation, security incidents, or other unlawful activity; or

  • Respond to an emergency or other circumstance in which disclosure is permitted or required by law.

We require vendors and service providers that receive confidential information to protect that information as required by applicable law and contractual obligations.
