Do not share them with anyone unless You are certain You want that person to have access to Your PII or PHI. In the event that You suspect or know that Your user account has been used without Your permission, or if You know of any other breach of security, You agree to immediately notify Oxygen via email at privacy@oxygen.healthcare.
