ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

By requiring acknowledgment and acceptance of this risk, UnitedHealthcare puts the user on notice that confidentiality of electronic communications is not guaranteed, which has implications for the sensitivity of information shared through those channels.

Interpretive note: The excerpt references 'such communications' without defining in the excerpt itself what types of communications are meant.
