1. Scope of Services

The Platform provides registered medical professionals (“Users”) with access to the ZogniQ ZPL™ low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) device and supporting AI-driven patient analysis tools. Features include: controlled application of wellness light treatments, secure storage and management of patient records and 8K images, AI-assisted analysis through HIPAA-compliant servers, and the ZogniQ.com Doctor Login Portal for record review and management.

2. Authorized Use

Access is limited to licensed healthcare professionals and authorized staff. Users must comply with local medical regulations and ensure proper device operation. The ZogniQ ZPL™ device is for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes only and is not a substitute for independent medical judgment.

3. Patient Data Privacy and Security

Zognition stores, transmits and processes all PHI (Protected Health Information) on our HIPAA compliant systems, hosted in the United States, ensuring Confidentiality, Integrity and availability of PHI. For Confidentiality and Integrity control of the data stored and in transit, we use strong cryptographic systems such as AES 128, TLS 1.3, SHA 256, WPA3. In addition, our systems are regularly assessed by external experts, to ensure the top-level security of our systems, processes and patient’s data. To ensure patient data privacy we use de-personalization techniques aligned with the HIPAA Privacy Rule and GDPR.

Secure transmission is ensured through Zognition-provided WPA3 Enterprise networking hardware designed to maintain HIPAA-compliant encrypted communications between the ZogniQ ZPL™ device and Zognition backend infrastructure.

4. AI Analysis and Clinical Responsibility

AI analysis results are advisory and intended to assist healthcare professionals. Zognition does not provide diagnoses or treatment recommendations. Clinical decisions remain solely with the licensed practitioner.

12. Secure Network Access & Zognition-Provided WPA3 Access Point

12.1 Provision of Secure Access Point

For purposes of secure connectivity to Zognition’s HIPAA-compliant backend systems, Zognition may provide Users with a pre-configured WPA3 Enterprise-grade wireless access point (“Zognition Secure Access Point” or “ZSAP”). The ZSAP is configured to:

Enforce WPA3-Enterprise encryption standards
Utilize AES-256 encryption protocols
Enable secure VPN tunneling and/or encrypted TLS 1.2+ communication
Restrict unauthorized network access
Segment ZogniQ ZPL™ device traffic from general clinic network traffic
Support HIPAA-compliant transmission safeguards

The ZSAP is intended solely for use with the ZogniQ ZPL™ device and associated Zognition backend systems.

12.2 Required Use

Where provided, the Zognition Secure Access Point must be used for all transmissions between the ZogniQ ZPL™ device and Zognition’s cloud infrastructure.

Users agree:

Not to bypass, reconfigure, disable, or replace the ZSAP without written authorization from Zognition
Not to connect the ZogniQ device to unsecured, public, or non-segmented networks
To ensure physical security of the ZSAP within the clinic premises
To prevent unauthorized credential access

Failure to use the ZSAP as directed may void certain security representations and may shift cybersecurity liability to the User.

12.3 Clinic Network Responsibilities

The User remains responsible for:

Maintaining a secure upstream internet connection
Implementing appropriate firewall protections
Preventing unauthorized access to clinic IT infrastructure
Ensuring compliance with HIPAA administrative and physical safeguards

Zognition is not responsible for breaches resulting from the User’s local network vulnerabilities outside of the ZSAP configuration.

12.4 Remote Monitoring and Security Updates

The Zognition Secure Access Point may receive:

Software updates
Security patches
Firmware updates
Remote configuration adjustments
Intrusion detection updates
Digital Annual Service (DAS) testing and monitoring protocols

Users consent to remote security maintenance necessary to preserve HIPAA compliance and system integrity.

Zognition will not access patient clinical data through the ZSAP except as required for secure transmission.

12.5 Ownership and Return

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

The ZSAP remains the property of Zognition
Upon termination of services, the User must return the ZSAP within thirty (30) days
Failure to return may result in replacement charges

12.6 Cybersecurity Disclaimer

While Zognition implements commercially reasonable and industry-standard safeguards consistent with HIPAA Security Rule requirements, no system can guarantee absolute security.

Zognition shall not be liable for cybersecurity incidents arising from:

User modifications to the ZSAP
Unauthorized third-party interference within the User’s internal network
Internet service provider vulnerabilities
Force majeure cyber events

12.7 HIPAA Alignment

The Zognition Secure Access Point is part of Zognition’s technical safeguard strategy under:

45 CFR §164.312 (Technical Safeguards)
Encryption and transmission security requirements
Access control and audit control mechanisms

Users acknowledge that proper use of the ZSAP is a material component of HIPAA-compliant operation of the ZogniQ ZPL™ system.
