De-identification Academic Transcription Services options.

De-identification processes are used to safeguard the personal identity of research participants from being revealed.

If needed we can produce transcripts compliant with the widely accepted HIPPA Standard.

Using the HIPPA Safe Harbor method – we will remove 18 Standard identifiers from your data (e.g. names, addresses etc.). These identifiers can be replaced with a non-identifying place holder, e.g. “17 Smith Street” becomes [address], “Sam Smith” becomes [personal name]. Or Pseudonymization techniques where a “code” replaces the identifier with a temporary ID e.g. ‘Sam Smith’ becomes “Mr White”, and “17 Smith Street” becomes “Mr Whites address”.

University Approved Confidentiality Agreements.
Top Security.

Low Hassle Confidentiality Agreements. Based on extensive experience working with University ethics approval, we have developed a Transcription Confidentiality Agreement that aligns with most ethics approval requirements. No more back and forth with your department trying to get approval or trying to get an agreement signed off with some admin team at a faceless transcription service. You can download our agreement (see: HERE), or we can sign off on yours very quickly (just attach it to your quote or order form). We will have it back to you signed in a few hours.

Top Security – End to End encryption. We are one of the few transcript services that incorporate end to end encryption technology. Both in transit and at rest. Third-party auditors assess the security and compliance of our Amazon Montreal based data hosting centre as part of the Amazon AWS compliance programs. These include The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), SOC, PCI, FedRAMP, and HIPAA (see: here).

Top Security – Amazon Montreal based AWS servers. Amazon AWS complies with ISO 27018, a code of practice that focuses on the protection of personal data. This is part of the ISO information security standard 27002 (see: here).

Top Security – Vetted Canada based team. We interview and screen our team personally. They have undergone security training, and as most come from either legal or medical admin roles, we are well versed in handling confidential and sensitive information. We abide by and are accountable to Canadian privacy and confidentiality law.
