It depends there are some exceptions.[0]

>With persons or organizations (e.g., janitorial service or electrician) whose functions or services do not involve the use or disclosure of protected health information, and where any access to protected health information by such persons would be incidental, if at all.

Based on the context from the article of the PHI uploaded being incidental, it would probably fall under this exception. It sounds like ESHYFT isn't meant to be storing any PHI based on the privacy policy above.
