Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Collection and Use of Consumer Health Data

We do not intentionally collect what is commonly referred to as “consumer health data.” This means that we do not use the data we collect to identify or make inferences about your physical or mental health status, whether past, present, or future. However, due to the broad legal definitions of “consumer health data” in certain jurisdictions, some information we collect may be classified as health-related data under local laws.

Our primary goal in collecting data is to provide you with our services and to enhance your experience by helping you connect with other members in meaningful ways.

Types of Data We Collect

1. Personal Information:
   This includes basic data such as your name, email address, and other identifiers that you voluntarily provide when you sign up or interact with the platform.

2. Usage Information:
   We collect data regarding how you interact with our platform (e.g., pages you visit, time spent on the platform, interactions with other users) to improve our service.

3. Health-Related Information (if provided):
   While we do not actively collect health data, any health-related details that you voluntarily share through your profile or other communications may be classified as health data under some jurisdictions.

How We Use Your Data

We primarily use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve our services, ensuring they meet your needs.
• Facilitate connections with other members of the platform and enable better communication.
• Offer customer support, address issues, and respond to your inquiries.
• Enhance the safety and security of our service, including preventing fraud or abuse.
• Comply with legal and regulatory requirements where applicable.

How We Disclose Consumer Health Data

We are committed to protecting your privacy. However, there are certain circumstances under which we may disclose your data to third parties, as detailed below:

1. Other Users:
   You may choose to share certain information with other users, such as in your public profile. This information is visible to others, and we encourage you to consider the visibility of your health-related data before sharing it publicly.

2. Service Providers:
   We may share your data with third-party vendors and service providers who help us operate our service. These may include companies that handle data hosting, maintenance, customer care, and security operations. These vendors are required to process your data only as necessary to provide their services to us.

3. Affiliates:
   We may disclose your data to our affiliates—entities that are part of our corporate family or that assist in processing and operating our services. This may include tasks such as hosting, data maintenance, customer service, and data security operations.

4. Corporate Transactions:
   If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, sale, or other corporate transactions (e.g., bankruptcy, restructuring, etc.), your data may be shared or transferred as part of the transaction. In such cases, your information will remain subject to the privacy protections in place, and we will inform you if there are any material changes to how your data is handled.

5. Law Enforcement and Legal Processes:
   We may disclose your information to law enforcement authorities or in response to legal processes, such as subpoenas, court orders, or search warrants, when required by law. This may also include situations where disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of any person, assist in the prevention or detection of crime, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
