Privacy & Data

Privacy Policy

What we collect and why

We collect the minimum information needed to schedule and complete rides: contact details, pickup/drop-off information, mobility needs, and (if provided) notes to ensure a safe trip. We use this data to coordinate transportation, support safety, and communicate with you about services.

  • We do not sell personal information.
  • We retain trip records only as long as necessary for operations, safety, or legal requirements.
  • You may request correction or deletion where applicable by contacting info@medlanetransit.com.

Note: Website analytics may collect non-identifying usage data (pages visited, device type) to improve the site.

How we protect information
  • Access controls for staff on a need-to-know basis.
  • Encrypted communication with our website provider and email when supported.
  • Vendor agreements requiring reasonable safeguards where applicable.
Health Information

HIPAA Awareness

Our role and your information

MedLane Transit provides non-emergency medical transportation. We are not a healthcare provider or insurer; however, we handle trip details with sensitivity and train staff in HIPAA awareness and respectful handling of any information shared for transportation purposes.

If your ride is arranged by a covered entity (e.g., a clinic or insurer), that organization’s HIPAA policies also apply to your information.

Equal Access

Non-Discrimination & ADA

Our commitment

We do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability. We provide wheelchair-accessible vehicles and door-through-door assistance on request.

  • Service animals are welcome.
  • Reasonable accommodations are available—please let us know your needs when booking.
Accessibility requests

For accessibility requests or concerns, contact info@medlanetransit.com or call (516) 961-5724.
