XingImaging's Privacy Policy

Effective date September 25, 2024 


XingImaging, LLC is committed to safeguarding your privacy and personal data. This policy is provided to describe what information we collect about you, what we do with it, what we do to keep it secure, as well as how it might be disclosed and your rights in relation to your personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to all information received by XingImaging, any electronic, written communication you share with us, and any information you provide to us to while at our clinical research site.  XingImaging handles your personal information as part of clinical research studies for which you have provided your consent to participate. 


For further questions, XingImaging’s Regulatory and Compliance Team can be contacted:

  • By  email: dpo@xingimaging.com 
  • By post: XingImaging, LLC, 55 Church Street, New Haven, CT 06510


Understanding your health record 

A record is made each time you agree to participate in a clinical research trial being conducted at our site. Information about your examination and test results is recorded. These records provide information about your research visit pertaining to the applicable clinical study in which you have consented to participate.  


Understanding what information is retained in your record, collected and how that information may be used or shared is defined in the associated clinical study informed consent document. 


XingImaging is not considered a covered entity, i.e., waived under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). XingImaging is a research organization. XingImaging is not a health care provider. It will not charge you or your healthcare insurance program, nor does it exchange personal health information electronically for the purpose of securing health care/medical coverage or payments (e.g., disability).  Although we do not provide health care (HIPAA waived) we remain committed to the protection and security of your information and strive to put all safeguards in place to protect PHI as if it is a covered entity as defined in the HIPAA.


What data we collect

The data we collect includes the personal information you directly submit to us as part of the study enrollment, including your name, date of birth, email address, address, phone number, residency, primary neurologist or medical doctor’s name and your medical history.


Once you have signed an informed consent form to participate in a study you give permission for your health information and any data gathered from study procedures to be used as part of the specific study to which you consented, your health record will then be processed as part of that study. 


You are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal information. However, failure to do so will mean that you are unable to be enrolled or take part in potential research studies conducted at our site. 


Understanding your privacy rights

Under data protection law, you have a number of rights over your personal data:  


The right to be informed

You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal information. We respect this right by providing you with this Privacy Notice which outlines how your data will be handled. The informed consent form also has information about how your personal information will be used.  


The right of access

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you, sometimes termed a Data Subject Access Request.   


The right to erasure

If you wish to have your personal information removed from our system, please contact us at dpo@xingimaging.com and your information will be removed.  However, please be aware that the right to erasure is not absolute, and once you sign the informed consent to participate in a specific research study, the data collected during your time in the study may not be removed.  


The right to rectification

If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, you may ask us to correct it.  


Withdrawing from the study

Your clinical research data record is the physical property of the clinical research study site or sponsor, as defined in the informed consent.  

You may request to withdraw from the study at any time by sending written notice to the study investigator. Upon receiving the written notice, the study team will no longer access your personal health information and you will not be able to stay in the study. Information that has already been gathered (and de-identified) may need to be used and given to others for the validity of the study. 


Data security

To protect your personal information, XingImaging has put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to secure the information we process. This includes: 

  • Restricting access to the computing environment by a minimum necessary standard so that only those employees who are deemed to require access to sensitive data for their job function will have access to the data.
  • Robust access logs and monitoring of network activity, when applicable 
  • Implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) 
  • Implementing a comprehensive information security policy    
  • Pseudonymization or de-identification of your personal health information 


The XingImaging data are located in a locked, secure environment, and computer systems are maintained in accordance with industry standards to secure information. Consistent with regulations of the United States and European Union, XingImaging takes many technical precautions to keep identifiable data secure against security breaches. However, if there is a breach, XingImaging will comply with its regulatory obligations. 


XingImaging’s Privacy Practices

We understand that health information about you is personal, and we are committed to protecting that information.  In meeting legal requirements and the organization’s efforts to protect your health information we:
