How Seagull Health handles information provided by clients in connection with commissioned intelligence briefs and advisory services.
Scope
This policy applies to information provided by clients and prospective clients of Seagull Health in connection with commissioned CRISP intelligence briefs, the public commission inquiry form, and any related advisory engagement. It describes what information Seagull Health collects, how it is used, and the commitments Seagull Health makes regarding its handling.
Information We Collect
In the course of scoping and producing a commissioned brief, clients may provide operational details about a facility or portfolio under evaluation. This typically includes:
Seagull Health does not collect, request, or accept protected health information (PHI) as defined under HIPAA, individual patient records, or personally identifiable information about residents or staff. Every inquiry is scoped to publicly available operational and regulatory information only.
How We Use It
Information provided by a client is used solely to research and produce the commissioned brief or to respond to the inquiry that generated it. It is not used for any other purpose without the client's explicit consent.
What We Don't Do
Seagull Health does not:
Research Sources
The evidence base underlying every Seagull Health brief is drawn exclusively from publicly accessible sources: peer-reviewed literature (PubMed and curated clinical databases), CMS inspection and deficiency records, state licensing and regulatory databases, and publicly available legal and regulatory records.
Seagull Health synthesizes public evidence. It does not generate, transmit, or incorporate proprietary clinical data belonging to any facility or client.
Data Retention
Client-provided information is used to produce the commissioned brief and is not retained beyond delivery of that brief unless the client has requested ongoing advisory services or explicitly consented to retention for a defined purpose. Retention terms for ongoing engagements are agreed in writing at the time of engagement.
Engagement Confidentiality
Seagull Health treats every engagement as confidential by default. The existence of a client relationship, the nature of the facilities evaluated, and any deal context shared during scoping or production are held in confidence and are not referenced, disclosed, or used outside the scope of the engagement.
Clients operating under deal-specific NDAs should note that Seagull Health's confidentiality commitment is independent of and complementary to any such arrangement — it does not require a separate NDA to take effect.
Advisory Role
Seagull Health's role is strictly advisory on the dementia-seizure clinical topic. Nothing in a commissioned brief constitutes investment advice, legal counsel, clinical diagnosis, or a recommendation to acquire or divest any asset. All findings are grounded in the peer-reviewed literature and presented for informational purposes to the commissioning party and their advisors.
