    INFORMATION
    IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND ORGANIZATIONS
    The standard services offered by Carefree Computing — including, without limitation, our
    Multilingual Chatbot, AI Automation, Private AI Assistant, Remote IT Management, Real-Time
    Security Monitoring, Nextcloud CRM, SearxNG Search, and web design services — are NOT
    configured, designed, or warranted to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and
    Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations, as amended (collectively, “HIPAA”),
    under their default configurations and standard subscription tiers.
    Healthcare providers, covered entities, business associates, and any organization that creates,
    receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information (“PHI”) as defined under HIPAA
    must NOT process, store, transmit, or otherwise handle PHI through Carefree Computing’s
    standard platform environment unless a separate, dedicated HIPAA-compliant infrastructure
    agreement has been explicitly established with Carefree Computing in writing.
    HIPAA-compliant infrastructure is available as a specialized, separately contracted service.
    Such services include, where applicable: execution of a Business Associate Agreement (BAA),
    deployment of dedicated (non-shared) infrastructure, implementation of HIPAA-required
    technical safeguards, access controls, audit logging, and breach notification procedures. These
    configurations are not included in any standard subscription tier (Budget, Expanding, Deluxe, or
    Full Service).
    Carefree Computing expressly disclaims any representation, warranty, or assurance of HIPAA
    compliance in connection with its standard Services. Any use of standard Carefree Computing
    services for the processing of PHI without a separately executed HIPAA-compliant infrastructure
    agreement is undertaken solely at the client’s own risk. Carefree Computing will not be liable for
    any regulatory penalties, enforcement actions, or damages arising from such unauthorized use.
    To inquire about our dedicated HIPAA-compliant infrastructure solutions, please contact us at:
    info@carefreecomputing.cloud.
