Scribeable Browser Extension - Supplemental Terms

Last Updated: February 5, 2026

IMPORTANT: EHR DATA ACCESS DISCLOSURE The Scribeable Browser Extension interacts with your Electronic Health Record (EHR) system by accessing web page content within your browser. This means the extension can read clinical data displayed in your EHR, including patient information. By installing and using this extension, you acknowledge that: (a) the extension accesses EHR data in your browser to facilitate note transfer; (b) you are responsible for ensuring your organization's IT policies permit browser extension use with your EHR; (c) you must comply with all applicable HIPAA, state privacy, and EHR vendor policies regarding third-party access to patient data; and (d) data accessed by the extension is encrypted and transmitted using the same security measures as the core Scribeable platform.
