How We Share Information

We will only share your Information with third parties as outlined in this Policy and as otherwise permitted by law or as permitted with your consent, including as follows:

●      We may also share Information with other third-party companies that we have a business relationship with or hire to perform services on our behalf, including assisting with the purposes described under the “How We Use Information” section. For example, we may hire a company to help us send and manage e-mail, and we might provide that company with your e-mail address and certain other information in order for them to send you an e-mail message on our behalf. Similarly, we may hire companies to host or operate some of our Online Services and related computers and software applications. These service providers are not allowed to use or disclose your Information other than as specified in our contract and as permitted by law.

●      We may share aggregate information about the usage, performance, and outcomes of the product with your health plan, employer, or party that referred you to us, but we will NOT share your personally identifiable information or personal health information or personal diary entries (where you record your thoughts) or personally identifiable thoughts from your personal diary with them.

●      We may share Information with research partners and other third-party companies conducting health or behavioral research, including your personally identifiable information. However, we will require that such companies and their vendors not disclose any such Information that is personally identifiable, that they and their vendors use such Information only for such research purposes, and that they and their vendors do not use any such personally identifiable information to direct any advertising to you or evaluate you for any third party product or service or for any employment opportunity.

Posting Messages, Comments, and Content

Our Online Services may have collaboration areas as well as integrations with social media, including but not limited to “blogs,” “bulletin boards,” “leader boards,” and “health games,” that permit users to have collaborative discussions and/or share information. Some of our Online Services may permit you to select a display name or image that will be a “nickname” on the Online Service. Please note, that any information you submit or post to these collaboration areas, including your display name or image, may be visible to other users of the Online Service, and such users may share it with others. Therefore, please be thoughtful in what you write and understand that this information may become public.

How to Manage Your Information

Our Online Services may permit you to view your profile, if applicable, and access related Information about you and to request changes to, or deletion of, such Information. If this function is available, you may have access to a page on the Online Services through which you may review your profile if applicable, and related Information about you, and you may have options to modify or delete such Information. Please remember, however, if we have already disclosed some of this Information to third parties, we may not have access to that disclosed information and may not be able to force the deletion or modification of any information by the third parties to whom we have made those disclosures.

If you need additional assistance in opting out of a communication, please contact us at info@wellnessconnection.care. Please be aware that opt-outs may not apply to certain types of communications, such as account status, Online Service updates, or other communications. 

Links to Other Sites

Our Services may contain links to websites and services that are owned or operated by third parties (each, a “Third-party Service”). Any information that you provide on or to a Third-party Service or that is collected by a Third-party Service is provided directly to the owner or operator of the Third-party Service and is subject to the owner’s or operator’s privacy policy. We’re not responsible for the content, privacy, or security practices and policies of any Third-party Service. To protect your information we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all Third-party Services that you access.

Cookies and Tracking

The Company may use various technologies, including cookies, tokens, tags, web logs, web beacons, scripts, and web server logs to automatically collect information and may aggregate this information from our Online Services visitors or to enable certain features of our Online Services. This information may include demographic data, technical information about the technology (e.g. phone, computer) used to connect to the Online Services, web browser information, your IP address, operating system (“OS”), camera use, use of screen, patterns of application usage, and browsing behavior such as pages visited and how often they are visited (“Activity Information”). We may also use third-party analytics companies to provide these services.

We may also allow third-party service providers to use cookies and other technologies to collect information and to track browsing activity over time and across third-party websites such as web browsers used to read our websites, which websites are referring traffic or linking to our websites, and to deliver targeted advertisements to you. We do not control these third-party technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of third parties using such technologies. For more information about third-party advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, see http://www.aboutads.info/consumers, and to opt-out of such ad networks’ and services’ advertising practices, go to http://www.aboutads.info/consumers and http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices. Once you click the link, you may choose to opt out of such advertising from all participating advertising companies or only advertising provided by specific advertising companies. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Online Services, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out of tailored advertising. In that case, the ads will just not be tailored. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

Activity Information is captured using various technologies and may include cookies. “Cookies” are small text files that may be placed on your computer when you visit an Online Service or click on a URL. Cookies may include “single-session cookies” which generally record information during only a single visit to a website and then are erased, and “persistent” cookies which are generally stored on a computer unless or until they are deleted or are set to expire. You may disable cookies and similar items by adjusting your browser preferences at any time; however, this may limit your ability to take advantage of all the features of our Online Services. In addition, you may also have additional means to manage the collection of Activity Information by:

●      Managing the use of “flash” technologies, with the Flash management tools available at Adobe’s website;

●      Clicking on the “Opt-Out” link at the bottom of the applicable home web page; and/or

●      Visiting Google to “Opt-Out” of display advertising or customize Google display network ads.

Please note that we do not currently respond to web browser “Do Not Track” signals that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information about online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services because, among other reasons, there is no common definition of such signals and no industry-accepted standards for how such signals should be interpreted.

We gather Activity Information about you in order to improve the quality of our services, such as the best method and time to contact you. Without limiting the other ways in which we may use Information as described herein, we may otherwise use and disclose your Activity Information unless restricted by this Policy or by law. Some examples of the ways we use your Activity Information include:

●      Customizing your experiences, including managing and recording your preferences;

●      Authenticating your account information;

●      Marketing, product development, and research purposes;

●      Tracking resources and data accessed on the Online Services;

●      Developing reports regarding Online Service usage, activity, and statistics;

●      Assisting users experiencing problems with our services;

●      Quality control of our coaching and clinical services;

●      Updating and servicing our Online Services;

●      Enabling certain functions and tools on the Online Services; and

●      Tracking paths of visitors to the Online Services and within the Online Services.

As described above, we may use tracking technologies that allow us to recognize your device when you return to our Online Services within a period of time, as determined by us, and to support automatic login to your Online Services. To maintain your privacy, you should affirmatively log out of your account prior to your session ending (whether you end your session or we end your session, for example, if our Online Services has “timed out” – i.e. we have ended your session automatically after a period of inactivity as determined by us in our sole discretion). Unless you affirmatively log out of your account, you may be automatically logged back in the next time you or any user of your devices visits the Online Services.

How We Protect Information

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Information that you provide on our Online Services. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the Information that is being collected, used, and stored. However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of our Online Services, nor can we guarantee the security of the Information you transmit to us over the Internet, including your use of e-mail. We are not liable for the illegal acts of third parties such as criminal hackers.

It is your responsibility to safeguard the devices you use to access our Online Services (such as laptops, tablets, and mobile devices), and to use appropriate security settings on those devices. If those devices are lost, stolen, or misplaced, others may be able to access your account and your personal information using those devices. If you log into the Online Services using a public computer or device, or the computer or device of another person, you should affirmatively log out of your account (i) prior to ending your session, or (ii) if you will be inactive on the Online Services for more than a few minutes otherwise, the next user of that computer or device may be able to access your account and the Information in your account if your session has not ended.

You agree that we are not responsible for any harm that may result from someone accessing your account or personal Information on a lost, stolen, or misplaced device or on a public computer or kiosk where you do not for any reason take the necessary steps to log out of your account prior to ending a session on such public computer or kiosk.

We offer mobile applications that enable us to communicate with you through push notifications. You may be able to turn off push notifications in your mobile phone settings. You may also be able to control preview settings in your e-mail applications. Please note, that choosing to disable certain functionality of the mobile application may impact the functionality of other areas of the mobile application.

We retain Information for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it is collected, subject to a longer period if the Information is relevant to a legal challenge.

Children under 13

We will not intentionally collect any personal information (as that term is defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from children under the age of 13 through our Online Services without receiving parental consent. If you think that we have collected such personal information from a child under the age of 13 through our Online Services, please contact us immediately at info@wellnessconnection.care.

SSN Protection Policy

It is our policy to protect the confidentiality of Social Security numbers (“SSNs”) that we receive or collect in the course of business. We secure the confidentiality of SSNs through various means, including physical, technical, and administrative safeguards that are designed to protect against unauthorized access. It is our policy to limit access to SSNs to that which is lawful and to prohibit unlawful disclosure of SSNs.
