OTHER INFORMATION

Other Information We May Collect

"Other Information" is any information that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an individual, such as:

Browser and device information
App usage data
Information collected through cookies and other technologies
Demographic information and other information provided by you
Aggregated information

If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, then we may use it for the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information as detailed in this Notice.

How We May Collect Other Information

We and our third-party service providers may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including:

Through your browser or device: Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, Internet browser type and version, and the name and version of the Services you are using. We use this information to ensure that the Services function properly.
Using cookies: Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer that you are using. Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on the Services, pages visited, language preferences, and other anonymous traffic data. We and our service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, to personalize your experience while using the Services, and to recognize your computer in order to assist your use of the Services. We also gather statistical information about use of the Services in order to continually improve their design and functionality, understand how they are used, and assist us with resolving questions regarding them. If you disable cookies on the site, the site may not function properly.
Analytics: We may use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Services and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources. You can learn about Google's practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/?partners/, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
IP Address: Your IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP address may automatically be identified and logged in our server log files whenever you, as a user, access the Services. This log may include the time and the page(s) visited. We use IP addresses to calculate usage levels, derive your approximate location, diagnose server problems, and administer the Services. We do not use IP addresses for identification or direct marketing purposes. Collecting IP addresses is a standard industry practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications, and other services.
From you: Information such as your preferred means of communication is collected when you voluntarily provide it.
By aggregating information: Aggregated Personal Information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services (for example, we may aggregate Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code).

How We May Use and Disclose Other Information

We may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose, except as provided under applicable law. In some instances, we may combine Other Information with Personal Information. If we do, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

If you have provided us with Personal Information, we may associate that information with the information about your usage of our site that is collected automatically.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We may include links in the Services to websites for third parties, such as government agencies, carriers, and health and wellness providers. When you access these links, you will be leaving the Services and your usage of those third-party sites will be governed by the privacy policies of such third parties, not by this Privacy Notice. This Privacy Notice does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or service to which the Services may link. The inclusion of a link on the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service, by us or by our affiliates.

SECURITY

We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect Personal Information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please immediately notify us in accordance with the "Contacting Us" section below.
