Privacy notice
Summary for patients using myBrainImages with Pamela Blake MD / bhvMD. This is an operational notice, not legal advice.
Where your imaging lives
Brain MRI packages and clinical report files are stored in Google Cloud Storage under a HIPAA business associate agreement. They are not stored on the website’s VPS disk or local volumes.
What the website server holds
The VPS hosts the application UI and API only: account sessions, consent flags, and study metadata pointers (bucket/object keys). Production metadata is intended for Cloud SQL (or another HIPAA-eligible store) under a signed BAA.
Research
Research use of de-identified images is optional and requires an explicit opt-in in the portal. You may change that preference later.
Contact
For privacy questions related to care, contact the bhvMD practice. Do not email imaging files to generic inboxes when the portal upload path is available.
