Under the Data Protection Laws and in this Privacy Notice, “Personal Information” means any information about an identified or identifiable individual.

Depending on how you use the WC Service, we may or may not collect any Personal Information about you. If we do, we may have received it directly from you (for example, when you use the Wellness Checkpoint health risk assessment (the “Assessment“) or one of its related mobile applications (collectively, the “Mobile App“)) or from your Sponsor (defined in Section 2.01 below) or from a Third Party Provider (defined in Subsection 4.01 (e) below) at the request of your Sponsor. Your use of the WC Service confirms your agreement that your Sponsor and such Third Party Providers may provide Personal Information to us and that we may use it as described in this Privacy Notice. In some cases, while we do not have Personal Information about you, your Sponsor or a third party may.

Part 2 – About the WC Service and Your Sponsor

2.01

Your Sponsor

The WC Service is made available for your use by your employer, benefits provider, insurer or other organization (the “Sponsor“) that has contracted with us or one of our partners (each, a “Contracting Partner“) for the delivery of the WC Service to you. You may also be entitled to use the WC Service because your Sponsor has elected to make it available to its employee’s or member’s spouses, domestic partners, family members or other designated third persons (“Eligible Users“).

Your Sponsor is the “data controller” for purposes of the Data Protection Laws.

2.02

Terms of Use

Your Sponsor makes the WC Service available to you so that you can evaluate your risk of developing and/or managing the negative effects of chronic disease conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, to help you identify possible issues with respect to your emotional health, and to encourage you to make positive changes to reduce your risk in any areas of concern. Some Sponsors use anonymous group and aggregate data to allow them to better understand group health needs, deliver their health benefits coverage and inform future health programs. Your Sponsor may also want to offer you incentives, external services or professional resources to support you in making positive changes that can reduce your risks and improve your health.

Whatever the specifics, you should consult the “Terms of Use” displayed on the page where you read and accept the terms and conditions for use of the WC Service to see your Sponsor’s general statement about how the Personal Information which we might collect about you when we provide the WC Service will be collected, used, retained or disclosed. Collectively, the Terms of Use plus this Privacy Notice and the InfoTech Terms & Conditions set out how the Personal Information which we might collect about you will be collected, used, retained and disclosed.

Please note, we assume no liability or responsibility except as required by the Data Protection Laws for the privacy practices of your Sponsor or any other external organization to whom we disclose your Personal Information as provided in the Terms of Use or this Privacy Notice, and we encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Anonymous Information

We may create “Anonymous Information” records from your Personal Information records by excluding any information (“Identifying Information“) that could link the Anonymous Information back to you. We reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to use and disclose any Anonymous Information at our discretion, subject to and in accordance with any applicable Data Protection Laws. For example, we may use Anonymous Information to compile population health benchmarks, analyze and understand demographics trends, customer behavior patterns and desires, and develop information that may enrich the content and quality of our programs or we may share Anonymous Information with other organizations for purposes of research and program analysis.

4.03

Analytics

We use Analytics to allow us to better understand the utilization of the WC Service. This means that we may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, metrics, performance data, crash reports, and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store from our analytics to any personally identifiable information you submit within Wellness Checkpoint or the Mobile App.

4.04

How We Use Email

We may use a third-party vendor to help us manage some of our email communications with you. Although we may supply this vendor with email addresses of those we wish them to contact, your email address is never used for any purpose other than to communicate with you on our or your Sponsor’s behalf. When you click on a link in an email, you may temporarily be redirected through one of the vendor’s servers (although this process will be invisible to you) which will register that you have clicked on that link, and have visited the WC Service. We never share any Personal Information, other than your email address, with our third-party email vendor. You can opt out of any of such communications at any time by updating the ‘User Settings’ section of the Assessment or the Mobile App.

Part 5 – Cookies

5.01

Cookies

In delivering the WC Service, we may use technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, scripts and other similar technologies to help administer the WC Service and enhance your user experience, enable you to sign in, identify the total number of users, measure traffic patterns for trending purposes, personalize or customize content so that a user’s preferences can be “remembered” when they return to the WC Service, and to better manage content, as well as to collect information about user’s access to the WC Service.

Cookies are pieces of information that include a unique reference code that a website transfers to your device to store and sometimes track information about you. Most of the WC Service uses last only for the duration of your session on the WC Service and expire when you close your browser. Other cookies are used to remember you when you return to the WC Service and will last for longer.
