      HIPPA is no joke and companies actually don’t fuck around with it. It’s not worth it. It’s one of the few pieces of consumer protection out there that has real teeth. Under HIPPA, you are expressly forbidden from using personal health information for anything unrelated to that patient’s care, and companies can and are fined heavily for violating it.
