Opt-Out Request: Third-Party Use of De-Identified Data
  • Opt-Out Request: Third-Party Use of De-Identified Data

  • As outlined in the Notice of Privacy Practices, Tempus AI and its affiliates, including Ambry Genetics (collectively “we”), may create de-identified data from your Protected Health Information (“PHI”) pursuant to regulations set forth in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Creating de-identified data is a common and long-established way to advance healthcare innovation and means that identifiers that can be reasonably used to identify you will be removed. We maintain a  database of de-identified health data from many patients, including de-identified DNA and RNA data, that is used to facilitate future health care discoveries.

    De-identified data may be used and shared with third parties like academic researchers, universities, hospitals, laboratories, and life sciences and other companies, in accordance with applicable laws. These third parties may use the de-identified data for activities such as researching the causes of disease, developing new drugs and therapies, or helping pay for the cost of healthcare. 

    If you do not wish for your de-identified data to be shared with third parties for the purposes explained above, please complete this form. 

    Please note the following:

    • Your request to restrict third party use of de-identified data will apply from the date we process your request. 
    • The patient or a valid legally authorized representative of the patient must complete the form in order for the request to be processed. 
    • The demographic fields below are required in order for us to process your request and match the request to your test order(s) and any associated data. 
    • We may be unable to honor your request if we cannot match the information you provide to data in our system. We cannot honor requests that are received before a test order is created. 
    • We may retain a record of your request as required by applicable law.

    Please contact optout@tempus.com with questions related to this request.
