COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

What is Personal Information?

Personal Information is any information relating to a natural person who is, or can be, identified either directly or indirectly from such information and includes information such as a user’s name, address, telephone number, email address, Internet activity (such as browsing history), or other information directly linked to that person. Personal Information that we collect also includes the personal medical information which users provide to us through the Services. You are not legally required to provide Personal Information to us, but if you refuse to provide such information, we may not be able to register you for our Services.

This Privacy Policy applies to all information that we collect, use, or handle – including personal health information. Our responsibilities with respect to your personal health information are covered in the Notice of Privacy Practices, which we encourage you to review.

Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us;
Contact details you may provide, such as your name and email address, and biographical information, such as your date of birth; and

In addition, from time to time, we may use or augment the Personal Information we have about you with information obtained from other sources, such as public databases, social media platforms, and other third parties.

In addition to collecting Personal Information that you provide to us, we may automatically collect certain Personal Information when you access the Site, such as IP address, information about your browser, device or operating system or similar information.

Ryse Health servers log IP addresses for systems administration and troubleshooting. We track page hits in the aggregate to track the popularity of pages that people visit. With that information we can improve the quality of our Site. We may also use or allow third parties to use web beacons on our Site to monitor our Site’s effectiveness. Web beacons are small, graphic images on web pages, web-based documents, or in email messages that allow us or third parties to monitor who is visiting our Site or if an email has been read. Web beacons collect the IP address of the device where the web beacon is sent, the URL of the page where the web beacon originates, and the time it was viewed. Web beacons may be linked to your Personal Information. We may also use third-party devices, services, links, or electronic mail to deliver surveys to you, which may use cookies, web beacons, or other technology to collect information about your visits to our Site (or other websites) in order to present surveys that may be of interest to you.

COOKIES

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on a computer and sometimes later use to recognize a user. The purpose of cookies is to enhance your ability to receive the information you want. In the future, we may use cookies to enhance the experience of users. A “session” cookie expires when the user closes the browser in which the website was viewed. A “persistent” cookie may be used to help save your settings and customizations. As with all cookies, you can personalize you web browser settings to reject session cookies. Though some cookies, that are strictly necessary for Site operation, cannot be toggled off.

Some of our business partners with whom we contract to carry out the Services (e.g., website providers) may use their cookies on our Site. Although we may not have direct access to or control over such cookies, this Privacy Policy governs the use of cookies by us and such business partners on our Site. We may also allow social media companies (e.g., Facebook) to put “widgets” on our Site. These third-party tools may also be used to track you across websites. For example, so long as you are logged in to Facebook, every time you land on a webpage that has a Facebook widget, Facebook will know you are on that webpage. We do not control the privacy practices of these third parties.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, the manufacturer of your mobile device, and any other third party mobile application or website to which the Site may contain a link.

HIPAA

Please be aware that this Privacy Policy is distinct from our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes in detail how we use and disclose your individually identifiable health information.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Ryse Health is concerned about the safety and privacy of children online. Because of this, we will make all efforts to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”).

Further, Ryse Health Services are intended only for minors whose parents/legal guardians have consented to their use of such Services. However, it is possible that by fraud or deception by others we may receive information given to us or pertaining to minors, including children under 13. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately obtain parental consent or else delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify us of our unauthorized receipt of information by minors, including children under 13, please email privacy@rysehealth.com.

SECURITY

We have implemented use reasonable physical, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information under our control. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system is 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee against all potential security breaches.

STORAGE OF DATA

We will only store Personal Information for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable data retention periods imposed upon us by applicable law.
