Introduction
The NIH Clinical Center is committed to protecting the privacy of CC patient information contained in NIH information systems. The CC Radiology & Imaging Sciences department uses an NIH approved third party secure file sharing service, BOX, to upload imaging studies not performed at NIH to the Radiology Imaging Library. The NIH agency's Privacy Policy does not apply. The BOX Privacy Policy applies.
Purposes and Use of Information We Collect from You
This Privacy Notice explains the collection and use of Personally Identifiable Information about you through the NIH CC Radiology Imaging Library on the DCRI Website. The BOX application presents a form and asks for your name, your e-mail and a free text message. Please include an NIH clinical contact in the text message. The information collected reflects the minimum necessary to accomplish the purpose of uploading digital images to the CC Radiology Imaging Library.
By using the third-party BOX Website to send images to the NIH CC Radiology Imaging Library, you may be providing nongovernmental third-parties with access to sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Please note that by voluntarily providing your information and uploading images into this site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice and consent to the collection, storage, and use of personal information about you as described in this Notice. Use of this service is optional. If you do not wish to use this service, but still wish to send images, you may mail the media (CD/DVD, Flash Drive) directly to your NIH clinical contact service or representative.
Security of Information
At all times, security maintenance and administration is an important part of website operations and maintenance. BOX maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information. The system uses appropriate administrative, technical and physical controls for protection of information contained therein and is protected by multiple firewalls, vulnerability scanning, and advanced encryption technology. Access to your information requires entry of a personalized username and password by CC Radiology Imaging Library staff. In non-routine circumstances, system administrators at BOX may have incidental exposure to your information during unexpected events such as data recovery.
