Great care has been taken in engineering the Mayo Clinic Health Assessment to ensure that all data is safe, secure and private. Our application leverages the industry- standard Advanced Security components within our server. Within our architecture, both content and personalization are secure. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is used for the encrypted transfer of data for the Mayo Clinic Health Assessment. Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth also offers authentication against a data store of valid population identifiers, ensuring a higher degree of security.
Users taking the Mayo Clinic Health Assessment are informed of the privacy and confidentiality policy in clearly stated language accessible throughout the site. This language lets the users know that their organization receives only aggregate information about the user’s health risks; individuals are never identified without their explicit prior consent.
