This Privacy Policy describes our practices with respect to collecting, using, and sharing your information through the use of our websites (“Site”), mobile applications (“App”), devices, and other services made available by us (collectively, the “Services”).
Health Plan and Employee Assistance Plan Users: Please note, if your use of our Services is sponsored by your health plan or employee assistance plan, information, including personal information, provided to us by your health plan or employer is subject to contractual restrictions we have agreed to with your health plan or employee assistance program.
The Privacy Policy is subject to our Terms of Use and is incorporated therein by reference. Capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy but not defined here have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms of Use.
We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy carefully prior to using our Services. By using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
What types of information we collect
We collect two types of information from our users.
The first type of information is non-personal information, which is information that does not identify you and may include information such as aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device
The second type of information we collect is information that identifies or can be used to identify you (“Personal Information”). This includes:
- Registration information: In order to use our certain parts of our Services, you may be required to register to the Services. As part of the registration process, we may collect your full name, gender, height, weight, e-mail address, phone number,birth date, and information about your health related to your use of the Services, such as information about your diagnoses (as described below). If you register for our Services via your social network account (e.g. Facebook account) we may have access to basic information about you from such account, such as your name, email address, photo, as well as any other information you made publicly available on such account.
- Financial information: In order to make purchases through our Services, you may be required to share payment information, including your PayPal account or credit or debit card information necessary to process your payment. This information is collected and stored by our third party payment processors. We may collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history in connection with your purchases. In addition, our payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, including recurring payments if you become a subscriber, and your card’s type, expiration date, and certain digits of your card number.
- Health information: As part of the registration process for certain Services, you may be required to share certain health information related to your use of the Services, such as condition-specific diagnosis information and the types of services that you are seeking.

You may manually upload your health information to our Site or App, or allow us to collect such information automatically by performing synchronization to the results of a Device measurement or App questionnaire or to the information available through your HealthKit account (see detailed information below, under “Information shared through HealthKit”). Some of this information may constitute Protected Health Information (“PHI”) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”). We will take all necessary steps to protect your PHI as required under HIPAA.
- Additional Voluntary information: We may collect additional information that you provide us voluntarily. For example, when you respond to communications from us, post a comment on a blog post, enroll in our rewards programs, contact our support, communicate with us via email or the Services or share additional information about yourself or about others through your use of the Services.

If you grant us your explicit consent to such use and integration (through the App), we may gather additional Personal Information about your activities, location and behavior, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, etc. For additional information about SDKs, we advise you to visit the applicable third parties’ website(s).

This information may include information about your employment status, employee identification number or identifier, job title, benefits information, and your primary work site (place of work). We use this informaiton only as directed or permitted by those third parties and we are subject to contractual obligations to keep such information confidential.

With whom we share the information we collect

Please note that under such consent, we may disclose to third party service providers in the healthcare ecosystem all relevant Personal Information and PHI that you share with us on an ongoing basis through the Services.
Please note: When we share PHI with third parties, such information is either anonymized or encrypted (as required by applicable laws) in order to effectively protect personal and/or health related information of users. To the extent PHI is shared with third parties, the third parties must first agree to be bound by HIPAA privacy and security protections.

With respect to PHI, you have both the right and choice to tell us to share information with your family, close friends or others involved in your care and to share information in a disaster relief situation. If you are unable to tell us your preference (for example, if you are unconscious), we may go ahead and share your PHI if we believe it is in your best interest. We may also share your PHI when needed to lessen a serious and imminent threat to health or safety. We will never share your PHI for marketing purposes or sell your PHI, unless you give us written permission.
We are allowed or required to share your PHI in other ways that contribute to the public good (such as public health and research), provided we meet many conditions under HIPAA before doing so. These disclosures include those that help with public health and safety issues (such as preventing disease, helping with recalls, reporting adverse reactions, suspected abuse, neglect or domestic violence or preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone‘s health or safety). We can also share your PHI for health research or if state or federal laws require it, to respond to court or administrative orders or to address workers’ compensation, law enforcement and other government requests. In addition, we may share your PHI to respond to organ and tissue donation requests or to work with a medical examiner, coroner or funeral director.
Information shared through HealthKit
You may instruct us to share information (including Personal Information and PHI) with systems such as Apple Inc.’s HealthKit and to access and collect information from those systems, for the purpose of improving the Services which we provide to you.
