Data Retention Policy

Despite not being a requirement within HIPAA, Fox and Geese understands and appreciates the importance of health data retention. Acting as a subcontractor, and at times a business associate, Fox and Geese is not directly responsible for health and medical records retention as set forth by each state. Despite this, Fox and Geese has created and implemented the following policy to make it easier for Fox and Geese Customers to support data retention laws.

Data Retention Policy

• Current Fox and Geese Customers have data stored by Fox and Geese as a part of the Fox and Geese Service.
• Once a Customer ceases to be a Customer, as defined below, the following steps are
  1. Customer is sent a notice via email of change of standing, and given the option to reinstate account.
  2. If no response to notice in #1 above within 7 days, or if Customer responds they do not want to reinstate account, Customer is sent directions for how to download their data from Fox and Geese and/or to have Fox and Geese continue to store the data at a rate of $25/month for up to 100GB. If there is more than 100GB of data, Fox and Geese will work with Customer to determine storage costs.
  3. If Customer downloads data or does not respond to notices from Fox and Geese within 30 days, Fox and Geese removes data from Fox and Geese systems and Customer is sent notice of removal of data.
