This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes the information that Pure Proactive Health Inc., DBA Betr Heath (“Betr“, “we“, “our,” or “us”) and its affiliates may gather from you on or through our website (https://www.Betrhealth.com) (the “Site”), mobile application (the “App”), and activities offline in connection with the App or Site, such as invoicing or communicating with employers or health plan providers (together with the Site and the App, the “Service”); how we use and disclose such information; and the steps we take to protect such information. By accessing or using the Service, you signify that you have read, understood and agree to our privacy practices described in this Policy and the Betr Terms of Service (the “Terms”). This Policy is incorporated by reference into the Terms. Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meaning given to them in the Terms.

IF YOU ARE A PATIENT USING THE SERVICE, YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE “SPECIAL TERMS FOR PATIENTS” IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 13 BELOW.

  1. The information we collect on the Site:
  • User-provided Information. When you use the Service, you may provide and we may collect what is generally called “personally identifiable information,” or “personal information,” which is information that specifically identifies an individual. You may provide us with personal information of various types and in various ways on the Service, including, without limitation, when you register for an account, use the Service, post or share User Content (as defined in the Terms), make a purchase on the Service, interact with other users of the Service through communication or messaging features, send us customer service-related requests, or otherwise communicate with us. For example, when you register for the Service, we collect your name, email address, phone number, date of birth and information about what interests you about our Service. We may also collect additional information when you continue to use the Service, including without limitation, your mailing address, a username, and password and other information that may identify you, such as, gender, age, social security number, driver’s license number, geographic area, preferences, payment information (such as your payment card number, expiration date, and billing address), and insurance information. We may also receive health information from you or on your behalf such as information or records relating to your medical or health history, health status and laboratory testing results, diagnostic images, and other health-related information. Please remember that Betr may, but has no obligation to, monitor, record, and store User Content in order to protect your safety or the safety of other users, to assist with regulatory or law enforcement efforts, or to protect and defend our rights and property. By using the Service, you consent to the recording, storage, and disclosure of such communications you send or receive for these purposes.
  • “Cookies” Information. When you use the Service, we, and our third-party partners, may send one or more cookies – small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your device. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Please review your web browser “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete, or choose not to accept, cookies from the Service, you may not be able to utilize the features of the Service to their fullest potential.
  • “Automatically Collected” Information. When you use the Service, read our emails, or otherwise engage with us, we, and our third-party partners, may automatically collect certain information from your device by using various types of tracking technology, including “clear gifs” or “web beacons.” This “automatically collected” information may include your IP address or other device address or identifier, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or just after you use the Service, the pages or other content you view or otherwise interact with on the Service, and the dates and times that you visit, access, or use the Service, and your language preferences. We also may use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message. This information is gathered from all users. When you access our Service from a mobile device, we may collect unique identification numbers associated with your device or our mobile application (including, for example, a UDID, Unique ID for Advertisers (“IDFA”), Google AdID, or Windows Advertising ID), mobile carrier, device type, model and manufacturer, mobile device operating system brand and model, phone number, and, depending on your mobile device settings, your geographical location data, including GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device, or we may be able to approximate a device’s location by analyzing other information, like an IP address. We and our third-party partners may also use cookies and tracking technologies for advertising purposes. For more information about tracking technologies, please see “Third Party Tracking and Online Advertising” below.
  • Third Party Web Beacons and Third Party Buttons. We may also implement third-party content or advertising on the Service that may use clear gifs or other forms of web beacons, which allow the third-party content provider to read and write cookies to your browser in connection with your viewing of the third-party content on the Service. Additionally, we may implement third-party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may allow third parties to collect information about you through such third parties’ browser cookies, even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected through web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties, and Betr does not participate in that data transmission. Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.
  • Do Not Track Signals. Your device operating system or browser may include settings, options, or add-on components to control the placement and presence of cookies and access to location information. We do not track our users over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and do not specifically respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. However, some third-party websites do keep track of your browsing activities, including across other websites on the Internet, which enables these websites to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such websites, your browser may allow you to set a DNT signal on your browser so that third parties know you do not want to be tracked.
  • Information from Other Sources. We may obtain information, including personal information, from third parties and sources other than the Service, such as our partners, advertisers or Providers (as defined below). If we combine or associate information from other sources with personal information that we collect through the Service, we will treat the combined information as personal information in accordance with this Policy. We and our third-party service providers may obtain information regarding your location or the location of your device through which you access our Service. Information regarding your location may be obtained directly from you when you provide us with information as part of the registration process. In addition, we may use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps operators (like Betr) understand how users (like you) engage with their applications. Google Analytics uses cookies to track your interactions with our Service and to collect information about how you use the Service. We then use the information to compile reports that help us improve the Service. Google Analytics collects, processes and creates reports about website trends without identifying individual users. For more information regarding Google Analytics visit “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located atwww.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. We may also work with third-party partners to employ technologies, including the application of statistical modeling tools, which permit us to recognize and contact you across multiple devices.

  1. Third-Party Tracking and Online Advertising.

Interest-Based Advertising. We may participate in interest-based advertising and use third-party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We may share or we may permit third-party online advertising networks, social media companies, and other third-party services to collect information about your use of our website over time so that they may play or display ads on other websites, apps, or services, including on Facebook. Typically, though not always, the information we share is provided through cookies or similar tracking technologies, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including clickstream information, browser type, time and date you visited the site, and other information. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.

Social Media Widgets and Advertising. Our Service may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, Google Plus, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our Service, and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies.

We may display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and others. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our Service while those users are on the social media platform or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them.

Cross-Device Linking. We, or our third-party partners, may link your various devices so that content you see on one device can result in relevant advertising on another device. We do this by collecting information about each device you use when you are logged in to our Service. We may also work with third-party partners who employ tracking technologies or the application of statistical modeling tools to determine if two or more devices are linked to a single user or household. We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) with third-party advertising partners to help recognize you across devices. We, and our partners, can use this cross-device linkage to serve interest-based advertising and other personalized content to you across your devices, to perform analytics, and to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns.

Your Choices:

  • Cookies. Most browsers allow you to adjust your browser settings to (i) notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject cookies.Blocking or deleting cookies may negatively impact your experience using the Service, as some features and services on our Service may not work properly. Deleting cookies does not delete Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as HTML5.
  • Interest-based advertising. To learn about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt out of some of this advertising, you may wish to visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices and/or the DAA’s resources at www.aboutads.info/choices.
  • Cross-device linking. Please note that opting out of receiving interest-based advertising through the NAI’s and DAA’s online resources will only opt out a user from receiving interest-based ads on that specific browser or device, but the user may still receive interest-based ads on his or her other devices. You must perform the opt out on each browser or device you use.
  • Mobile advertising. You may also be able to limit interest-based advertising through the settings on your mobile device by selecting “limit ad tracking” (iOS) or “opt out of interest based ads” (Android). You may also be able to opt out of some—but not all—interest-based ads served by mobile ad networks by visiting http://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading the mobile AppChoices app.
  • Some of these opt outs may not be effective unless your browser is set to accept cookies. If you delete cookies, change your browser settings, switch browsers or computers, or use another operating system, you will need to opt out again.

Text Marketing & Notifications

We value your privacy and the information you consent to share in relation to our SMS marketing service. We use this information to send you text notifications (for your order, including abandoned checkout reminders), text marketing offers, and transactional texts, including requests for reviews from us.

Our website uses cookies to keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, including when you have abandoned your checkout. This information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.

Google Analytics and Advertising. We use Google Analytics to recognize you and link the devices you use when you visit our site or Service on your browser or mobile device, log in to your account on our Service, or otherwise engage with us. We share a unique identifier, like a user ID or hashed email address, with Google to facilitate the service.

We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics, such as Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Service. You may control your advertising preferences or opt out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences, or by vising NAI’s online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

  1. Special Terms for Patients

BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES (AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 13) OF THE HEALTH CARE PROVIDER THAT YOU ENGAGE THROUGH OUR SERVICE (“PROVIDER”). Providers accessible through the Service are employed by or contract independently with a professional corporation or other professional entity (“Provider Group”), which is affiliated with Betr.

In addition to the information described above in Section 1 of this Policy, you may provide us with and we may collect your personal information from you when you (i) post User Content; (ii) interact with Providers or your Program Lead (as defined below); and/or (iii) provide us or have others provide us on your behalf, either via a request for information form or otherwise, with your health information such as information or records relating to your medical or health history, health status and laboratory testing results, diagnostic images, and other health-related information.

In addition to the uses we described in Section 2 of this Policy, we may use your information to:

  • Send you communications on behalf of the Providers and to facilitate the provision of health care services to you by the Providers;
  • Invite you to participate in IRB-approved research studies performed by Betr. This research may be sponsored by, on behalf of, or in collaboration with third parties, such as academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and pharmaceutical companies. If you agree to participate in such a study, we will use the information we receive for the purposes of the study and share it with study sponsors and collaborators. To participate in such a study, you will need to agree to an IRB-approved consent form that Betr provides to you. The consent form will provide additional, detailed information about the study. If you have not provided your express consent to participate in Betr’s IRB-approved research studies, Betr will not use your information provided through the Service for such IRB-approved studies. Betr will, however, use information for other research purposes as described in this Policy.

In addition to the disclosures in Section 3 of this Policy, we may disclose your information to third parties in the following circumstances:

  • Information on your progress is shared with your support system, including your nutrition coach (“Program Lead”) through the portion of the Service available to Program Leads (“Program Lead Portal”). Your Program Lead will have full access to all program data through the Program Lead Portal to provide personalized coaching services.
  • In the event that a user discloses, or a Program Lead observes, activities that present a concern for the safety or well-being of the user, such as hypertension, a sharp increase or decrease in blood glucose levels, rapid weight loss or gain or other unhealthy weight loss practices, mental health issues, or physical or mental abuse, Betr may alert the appropriate health-care professional and disclose relevant personal information as Betr, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or otherwise appropriate.

Claims and Pharmacy Data. We seek to give you better service and care. To help us give you the right care, in the right place and at the right time, a group health plan (“Health Plan”) may be created and, at the direction of your Health Plan, any agent, contractor or vendor of your Health Plan may electronically share information with us about your care. This information will include things like visits to the doctor or hospital, medical conditions, and prescriptions you have had in the past and moving forward. Having this information will help Betr give you the best possible care, because we will have the most up-to-date information about your health. Your privacy is very important to us, and you control the use of your personal information. We put important safeguards in place to make sure all your medical information is safe. By agreeing to this Policy, you agree to allow your Health Plan to share your personal health information with Betr, except for information that the Health Plan cannot share including, but not limited to, certain information relating to alcohol or substance abuse treatment.

Protected Health Information, HIPAA and Communications. Some of the information you submit or that is created through your use of the Service may constitute “protected health information” (“PHI”) as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). PHI does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA. Even though Betr is not a “covered entity” as defined by HIPAA, Provider and/or a Provider Group may be a “covered entity” and therefore a Provider, Provider Group and/or Betr may be subject to certain requirements under HIPAA. As a result, Provider Group has adopted a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices (the “Notice of Privacy Practices”) to describe how Provider Group and the Providers use and disclose your PHI. In connection with certain services we provide to or on behalf of the Provider Group and/or the Providers, Provider Group has requested that we disseminate to you the Notice of Privacy Practices of Provider Group and the Providers, which is currently available at  https://www.Betrhealth.com/privacy-practice. Betr may be a “business associate” of Provider Group or a Provider under HIPAA, and as a result, as and to the extent Betr is in fact a “business associate” of Provider Group or the Provider(s) under HIPAA, Betr’s use and disclosure of PHI will be limited as and to the extent required by HIPAA, which may include, for example, providing you with certain communications via emails, text messages or in app messages that contain PHI, such as appointment reminders, encouragement, and advice. If you would prefer not to exchange PHI via email or text message, please notify us at privacy@Betrhealth.com. You may also request we update, correct, or delete your PHI by contacting us at privacy@Betrhealth.com; provided however, that we may retain any PHI that we are required to maintain in accordance with HIPAA. Any information that does not constitute PHI may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Policy.
