JUST FOR US (JFU) – Privacy Policy

For General Public

Stored online in HIPAA Secure repository

Just For Us (JFU), a program of I&O Wellness Center, is committed to protecting the privacy and dignity of every individual who participates in our services. We collect only the information necessary to determine eligibility, communicate with participants and support coordinators, and provide safe, appropriate program access.

JFU does not share personal information with anyone outside our organization unless needed to deliver services you request, required for DDD-related communication (such as verifying eligibility or providing invoices), or mandated by law. We do not collect or knowingly store information from children.

We maintain high standards of confidentiality and follow HIPAA-aligned practices to protect all personal information entrusted to us.


Information Collection and Use

JFU may collect the following types of information:

  • Basic contact details: name, email, phone number, and state of residence
  • Service-related information: DDD affiliation, private-pay status, and support coordinator contact information
  • Program placement information: responses on our screening form, Unique Screening ID, and communication preferences
  • Optional communications: preferences for reminders, updates, or scheduling links

All HIPAA-related information from screening and enrollment is stored in Jotform’s HIPAA-compliant database, which uses encrypted transmission, secure storage, role-based access controls, and an isolated HIPAA server environment.

Personal data is used solely to determine eligibility, assign you to the correct JFU community group, and provide ongoing program support.


Log Data

Like many online services, our website may collect standard log information such as browser type, device settings, and access times. This information helps us improve our site and does not identify you personally.

Log data is used only for internal site performance and security monitoring.


Communications

We may contact you by email, phone, or SMS for purposes such as:

  • Eligibility updates
  • Scheduling interviews or sessions
  • Program reminders
  • Support Coordinator communication when necessary for service delivery
  • Operational updates related to your participation

You can request to limit certain types of communication at any time.

JFU does not send marketing emails to DDD participants, and we never share your contact information with third-party marketing organizations.


Cookies

Our website may use standard cookies to improve user experience and track basic site navigation. Cookies do not provide us with personal information and can be disabled in your browser settings without limiting access to program details.


Security

JFU uses multiple safeguards to protect your information:

  • HIPAA-compliant storage for screening and enrollment data through Jotform HIPAA Gold
  • Encrypted transmission (HTTPS) across all online forms
  • Limited, role-based access for authorized staff only
  • Internal confidentiality policies aligned with DDD service expectations
  • Annual review and updates to privacy procedures

Screening and program-placement data is retained for one (1) year in our secure repository and then safely deleted following HIPAA-aligned destruction practices.


Changes to This Privacy Policy

JFU may update this policy occasionally to reflect improvements to our services or changes in regulatory guidelines. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Continued use of our site or participation in our program indicates acceptance of any changes.
