Privacy Policy
Your privacy, and your patients’ privacy, is important to Arcos.
We collect the smallest amount of information that we believe is necessary to ensure our website users are getting the service they expect and to protect our website, our servers and your patient data, from unauthorized groups.
Patient Data
Burn Nav Web software is HIPAA de-identified; it does not collect patient identifiers listed in the de-identification Safe Harbor section of the HIPAA regulations.
As an essential part of its service, Arcos keeps de-identified patient records for hospitals, healthcare providers and clinicians to access during and after a care episode. These patient records are tied to a particular hospital or user group (hereafter “hospital”), to ensure that unauthorized users do not access your hospital’s de-identified records.
Arcos has agreements with select business partners to provide customer service in some countries and regions. Arcos shares the de-identified data with its customer service partners so they can best support your needs and inquiries.
We also support advancing the science and care of burn resuscitation by making de-identified patient data available to researchers. However, we take steps to ensure that de-identified patient data is also hospital de-identified before providing the data to researchers.
We protect your patient data by using different databases for each hospital. We also protect your patient data by ensuring that only authorized users can view your hospital’s de-identified data. To do that, we collect and store some user data.
User Data & Information Collected

We use your email address along with your password to verify that you are an authorized user. We associate your email address with your hospital so that you have access to your hospital’s patient records and others in your hospital has access to any patient records you create for that hospital.
Arcos may share your email address, name, credentials and hospital with its customer service provider in your country or region so they can follow up on customer service issues.
