Privacy Policy
Healthcare AI B2B Platform โ€ข Last updated: September 25, 2026

1. Introduction

ICDBolt ("we," "our," or "us") is a healthcare AI B2B platform operated by Value Creating Solutions Sdn Bhd (A company incorporated in Malaysia), with its registered office at Level 8, MCT Tower, Sky Park, One City, Jalan USJ 25/1, 47650 Subang Jaya, Selangor D.E., Malaysia. ICDBolt provides AI-powered medical coding services to healthcare organizations, billing companies, and health systems across multiple jurisdictions including Malaysia, the United States, India, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our platform, with particular attention to the distinction between Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined under applicable healthcare regulations.

Scope: This policy applies to all users of ICDBolt, including healthcare organizations, their employees, and authorized personnel who access our platform for medical coding purposes. Our compliance framework addresses the regulatory requirements of the markets in which we and our customers operate. Where Malaysian law applies to our role as data controller / data user, the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) is primary; tenant contracts and Business Associate Agreements may impose additional requirements (e.g. HIPAA) for PHI processed on behalf of customers.

2. Data Collection: PII vs PHI

Important Distinction

ICDBolt processes both Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI). PHI is subject to stricter regulatory requirements under HIPAA and regional data protection laws.

2.1 Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

PII refers to information that can be used to identify an individual but is not directly related to health conditions or medical treatment. We collect:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, organization name, job title, department
  • Authentication Data: Encrypted passwords, session tokens, login timestamps
  • Usage Data: Platform interaction logs, feature usage statistics, search queries (without patient identifiers)
  • Communication Data: Support tickets, feedback, and correspondence
  • Billing Information: Payment method details (processed through secure third-party processors)

2.2 Protected Health Information (PHI)

PHI is health information that can be linked to a specific individual. Under HIPAA, PHI includes any information about health status, provision of healthcare, or payment for healthcare that can be used to identify a person. We process PHI only when:

  • Clinical Documentation: Clinical notes, medical histories, and diagnostic information submitted for coding
  • Medical Codes: ICD-10 codes, CPT codes, and related medical coding data associated with patient records
  • Patient Identifiers: Medical record numbers, patient names, dates of birth, and other identifiers when included in clinical documentation
  • Treatment Information: Procedures, diagnoses, medications, and treatment plans

HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

All healthcare organizations using ICDBolt must execute a BAA with us. This agreement ensures that we handle PHI in compliance with HIPAA requirements and establishes our role as a Business Associate.

2.3 How We Collect Data

  • Directly from You: Account registration, clinical note submissions, support requests
  • Through Your Organization: Bulk data uploads, EMR integrations, API connections
  • Automatically: Usage analytics (with consent), system logs, performance metrics
  • From Third Parties: Authentication providers (SSO), payment processors (billing only)

3. Regional Compliance

ICDBolt is designed to comply with healthcare data protection regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Our compliance framework includes:
