create an account.

Some of the information we collect, such as health-related information, may be
considered “sensitive” under some laws. Where relevant, this is discussed in the
Supplemental Privacy Notice.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OTHER SOURCES

We may collect information about you from other sources, such as:

 * Our affiliates and subsidiaries, if you use or otherwise interact with their
   services.
 * Log-in services and social network connections. If you access the Services
   through a third-party connection or login (e.g., through a social network),
   you may allow us to have access to and collect certain information from your
   social network profile, which may include account and profile information,
   your posts, “likes,” and “shares,” and your list of friends, depending on
   your account settings on such services. If you do not wish for us to access
   this information, do not use a third-party connection to access the Services.
   Please see the terms and privacy policies of social media networks you use
   for information about their privacy practices and about how to adjust your
   settings.
 * Credit reporting services. For certain offerings in the Services, we may
   collect information from credit reporting services in order to comply with
   applicable law and facilitate your transactions.
 * Other parties. We may collect additional information about you to supplement
   information we collect in other ways (such as demographic, contact, and
   statistical information) from parties such as business partners, marketers,
   advertising networks, data providers, analysts, public databases, and other
   parties.


HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect for a variety of purposes, which may vary
depending on the type of information and how you interact with the Services.
These purposes may include to:

 * Provide and maintain the Services, including to register your account and run
   our business. 
 * Personalize the Services, including by remembering your preferences.
 * Provide a meaningful connection and community for users living with chronic
   conditions through the Bezzy website/app. The Bezzy website/app is not

We may combine the information we collect through the Services with information
we collect automatically or receive from other sources and use such combined
information in accordance with this Policy. We may also aggregate and/or
de-identify information we collect in such a way that it cannot reasonably be
linked to you or your device. We may use such aggregated and/or de-identified
information for any purpose, including for research and marketing purposes, and
may disclose such information in any way.


COOKIES & DISCLOSURE

Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

Cookies 

We and other parties may use cookies and similar technologies like pixels (also
known as clear GIFs) to collect your data. A cookie is a small text file that
web servers place on your device, designed to store basic information and to
help websites and apps recognize your browser. Cookies serve a variety of
purposes, such as helping you navigate and interact with the Services, making
your experience of the Services more relevant and personalized, helping us
analyze use of the Services, saving your preferences, authenticating you, and
enabling certain kinds of advertising. The cookies on the Services may be set by
us (first-party cookies) or by third parties (third-party cookies). We may use
session cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) and persistent
cookies (which stay on your browser or device for longer). We may also use
pixels in emails you receive from us to record actions such as whether you open
an email or click a link in it. 

To adjust your cookie preferences generally, please consult the “Help” section
of your browser for information about how to adjust your browser settings to
notify you when a cookie is being set or updated or to block cookies
altogether. Any preferences you have exercised in this way will only apply to
the specific device/browser on which you made them, so if you want these
preferences to apply when you access the Services from a different browser or
device, you will need to make these preference choices in that specific browser
or device. If you block or disable certain cookies, the Services may not
function as intended and you may not have access to certain features or
functions. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Services to function,
meaning that you cannot opt out of them. 

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United
Kingdom (“UK”), please see the EEA/UK Privacy Notice below for more information
about our use of cookies.

Analytics

We and third-party web analytics services, including Google Analytics, may use
cookies and similar technologies on the Services for analytics purposes. You can
find more information about Google’s analytics practices here. To prevent Google
Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google
Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Any preferences you have
exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser
on which you made them, so if you want these preferences to apply when you
access the Services from a different browser or device, you will need to install
the browser add-on or otherwise indicate your preferences in that specific
browser or device.

Online Advertising

On the Services, we may allow third party cookies and third-party advertising
technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google’s ad services)
that use cookies and similar technologies to deliver relevant and targeted
advertisements and other content to you on the Services and on other websites
you visit and applications you use. These ads may be based on the content of the
page you are visiting, automatically collected information, information you
provide, and other information about you. These ads may also be based on your
current activity or your activity over time and across other websites, and may
be tailored to your interests.

If you are interested in more information about tailored advertising and how you
can generally control cookies from being put on your computer or mobile browser
to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising
Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out Link and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance's
WebChoices Tool to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that
participate in those programs. For region-specific opt-out options, please see
Supplemental Privacy Notice below. Please note that you may still see ads on the
Services or ads for the Services on other websites or apps, but these ads may
not be tailored to you. We do not control any of the above opt-out links and are
not responsible for any choices you make using them or their continued
availability or accuracy. Any preferences you have exercised through these
methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them,
so if you want these preferences to apply when you access the Services from a
different browser or device, you will need to indicate your preferences in that
specific browser or device.




Mobile App Advertising

You may receive tailored in-app advertisements when using our Apps or other
mobile apps. We may use vendors or other parties to deliver ads on mobile apps
or for mobile app analytics. The operating system of your device provides
instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application
advertisements. Please review these instructions and/or your device settings for
more information on how to control in-app advertisements. We have no control
over how and to what extent your operating system allows you to control tailored
in-app advertisements.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that is available in certain web
browsers which you can learn more about here. We, like many other Services, do
not currently recognize or respond to browser initiated DNT signals. Please note
that DNT is different than the user “preference signal” referenced in the “Your
Rights and Choices” section below, which is a browser-based control that
indicates whether you would like to opt out of processing of your information
for certain purposes, such as the “sale” of your information or the disclosure
of your information for targeted advertising purposes, as defined under
applicable laws.


HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We may disclose the information we collect from and about you in the following
ways:

 * Personnel. Our employees, contractors, and other personnel have access to
   your information as needed to provide the Services. 
 * Affiliates. Information you provide to one of our Websites or Apps may be
   disclosed to our other Websites and Apps. We may also disclose your
   information to our corporate affiliates (e.g., parent company, sister
   companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common
   control), including Healthline Media UK.
 * Vendors. We may disclose or provide access to your information to vendors
   that provide services on our behalf, including website hosting, data storage,
   analytics, research, marketing and advertising, payment processing, security,
   data enrichment, content, contests and similar offerings, and other
   services. 
 *  Advertising. We may share certain data with Advertising platforms, such as
   Google and Social Networks such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Snapchat
   to allow us to target existing users and customers with highly relevant
   advertising campaigns. For the purposes of such campaigns. We may share a
   unique code (such as a hashed email address) with the applicable Advertising
   platform in order for that identifier to be matched against existing users of
   the relevant Advertising Platform and to identify potentially relevant
   audiences for targeted advertising. We may use services such as Google Ads’
   Customer Match, LinkedIn Matched Audiences, ID5, LiveRamp, and Facebook
   Custom Audiences for these purposes.  

In addition to advertisements for our own goods and services, we may also
facilitate third parties to advertise their own goods and services including by
targeting those advertisements to those that might be most interested in them.
These advertisements may be shown within our Services. In order to provide
advertisements relevant to you, your IP address may be used, as well as your
operating system and device type. Information about your particular device will
be used to show you advertisements which work properly on that device. You may
be able to adjust your preferences by visiting our Privacy Settings page or
below in the 'Your Rights and Choices' section of this policy. To opt-out of
advertising on a person-based level from ID5, please click here, and for
LiveRamp, please click here.

 * Business transfers. In the event of a sale of some or all of our assets,
   merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, including during
   negotiations of such an event, your data may be part of the transferred
   assets.
 * Legal compliance. We may disclose your information if required to do so by
   law or legal process, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is
   reasonably necessary to (1) comply with a legal obligation, (2) protect and
   defend the rights, property, or personal safety of ourselves, our personnel,
   users of the Services or the public, (3) obtain legal advice, or (4) protect
   against legal liability. This includes disclosures for fraud prevention.
 * With your consent. If you consent for us to disclose your information, we may
   do so consistent with your consent. You have the right to revoke consent at
   any time by emailing legal@rvohealth.com with the subject line “Revoke
   Consent” and explaining the information and disclosure(s) for which you want
   to revoke consent.

You may choose to post or otherwise provide information to the Services in such
a way that other parties can view or access this information. For example, if
you interact with the Services via social media platforms or use “social
features” on the Services (e.g., Facebook plugins), such social media platforms
may have access to information about you. If you participate in community
forums, others may have access to information submitted or otherwise posted on
those forums. Your choice to disclose information in these ways is not a
disclosure of your information by us.


YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Rights Regarding Your Information

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to make certain requests
of us regarding your “personal information” or “personal data,” as defined in
applicable law. This includes, but is not limited to, the right to request that
we:

 * Provide you with access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we
   hold about you.
 * Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or
   disclose about you, the categories of sources of this personal information,
   the business or commercial purpose for collecting this personal information,
   and the categories of parties to which we disclose this personal information.
 * Correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
 * Delete certain personal information we hold about you.

You may have different or additional rights depending on your jurisdiction of
residence. For example, you may have the right to object to, restrict, or opt
out of our processing of certain information. Please see Supplemental Privacy
Notice, below, for more information about region-specific rights. 

You may exercise the rights provided to you by applicable law by filling out
this form. You may also be able to access, correct, and delete certain
information through your account with the Services. Please note that certain
information may be exempt from your requests under applicable law. For example,
we need to retain certain information in order to provide the Services to you,
and we would be unable to continue providing Services requested by you if we
deleted that information. We may also need to retain certain information to
comply with applicable law or exercise our legal rights.

We may need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding
to certain requests, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the type of
request and the sensitivity of the information involved, verifying your [name
and email address]. If provided in applicable law, you may designate an
authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. To do so, you or the agent
must provide us with written authorization or power of attorney, signed by you,
for the agent to act on your behalf. You still need to verify your identity
directly with us.

If we ask for and rely on consent to process information, you have the right to
revoke this consent at any time by emailing legal@rvohealth.comwith the subject
line “Revoke Consent” and explaining the information for which you want to
revoke consent. Please be advised that revocation of consent will not affect the
validity of consent prior to revocation.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to contact the
applicable data protection authority with complaints regarding our practices.
Please consult the website of your jurisdiction’s data protection authority for
more information. However, we encourage you to contact us first to resolve any
questions or complaints.

Right to Opt Out of “Sales” and “Sharing”

If you are a resident of California and certain other jurisdictions, you may
have the right to opt out of our “sale” or “sharing” of your information, which
may be characterized by some laws as “targeted advertising.” As mentioned in the
“How We Disclose Your Information” section above, we may provide your
information to parties such as advertising providers and partners to, for
example, provide you with more relevant ads offers that may be of interest to
you. Under certain laws, these disclosures may be considered a “sale,”
“sharing,” or “targeted advertising.”  

As discussed in the “Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising” section above, we may
provide your information to advertising providers for purposes of targeted
advertising, to show you more relevant and tailored ads, and to analytics
providers that assist us in analyzing how you use the Services, our user base,
and other matters. Under applicable law, the disclosure of your personal
information to these parties to provide these services may be considered a
“sale” of personal information, a “sharing” of personal information, or the
processing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

To opt out of our online disclosures of your information (such as through
cookies and similar technologies) for purposes that could be considered a “sale”
or “sharing,” please adjust your privacy settings in the Privacy Settings link
on our website. To opt out of any other such disclosures, email us at
legal@rvohealth.com with the subject line “Sale/Sharing Opt Out” and provide
your name. In some jurisdictions, you may also opt out via a legally-recognized
browser-based opt out signal.

Please note that we do not knowingly “sell” or “share” personal information of
individuals under 16 years of age. 

Your Choices About Marketing Communications and Push Notifications

Email. Subject to any applicable legal requirements, if you provide us with your
email address, we may send you marketing and promotional communications on
behalf of ourselves and other parties (this may include, for example, offers
from our partners). You may opt out of these emails using the “Unsubscribe”
instructions in such emails. Please note that it may take some time to process
your request, consistent with applicable law. If you unsubscribe from marketing
and promotional emails, you may still receive administrative and service-related
emails from us, such as emails regarding your account and updates to our terms
or policies.

Text/SMS. Subject to any applicable legal requirements, if you provide us with
your mobile phone number, we may send you text/SMS-based marketing and
promotional communications. To opt out of these communications, reply “STOP” or
“UNSUBSCRIBE”.

Direct Mail. Subject to any applicable legal requirements, if you provide us
with your physical address, we may send you marketing and promotional
communications via direct mail. To opt out of these communications, please email
us at the address in the “Contact Us” section below. Please put “NO SNAIL MAIL”
in the subject line and include your name and the address where you are
currently receiving the communications you want to opt out of receiving. Please
note that it may take some time to process your request, consistent with
applicable law.

Push Notifications. Our Apps may send push notifications to your device. You can
disable these notifications and adjust your notification preferences via your
device settings.

privacy policies of these platforms for more information.

Legal bases for processing personal data. We rely on the following legal bases
to “process” the personal data described in Section 1 of the Policy (where
“process” and its cognates refer to collection, use, disclosure, and other
operations performed on personal data):

 * Contractual obligations. We may process personal data to honor our
   contractual obligations to you.

   that it furthers our legitimate business interests in ways that are not

   activities, analyzing and improving our business, providing security for our
   Services, preventing fraud, and managing legal issues.
 * Legal compliance. We need to use, share, and disclose information in certain
   ways to comply with our legal obligations. This includes processing personal
   data subject to tax, financial, or other governmental regulations.

Your rights. EEA and UK residents have the rights listed in the “Your Rights and
Choices” section  of this Policy. In addition, as provided in applicable law,
you may have the right to request that we:

 * Provide you with a copy of the personal data that you have provided to us in
   a commonly used, machine-readable format, and/or transmit such personal data
   directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible.
 * Restrict our processing of personal data (i) if the processing is unlawful,
   (ii) if we no longer need to process the personal data, (iii) while we verify
   the accuracy of personal data when you have contested its accuracy, or (iv)
   when you object to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any of your rights, please use the webform, toll free telephone
number, or email address provided in the “Your Rights and Choices” section of
this Policy.

As with requests to exercise other rights, please note that certain personal
data may be exempt from these requests. We may need to take reasonable steps to
verify your identity before responding to certain requests, as described in the
“Your Rights and Choices” section of this policy.

If you believe our processing of your personal data infringes EEA or UK privacy
laws, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority,
in particular in the country of your habitual residence, place of work or place
of the alleged infringement. However, we encourage you to contact us first to
resolve any questions or complaints.

Our use of cookies. EEA and UK law requires us to provide you with more detailed
information about the types of cookies we use on the Services. 

 * Strictly Necessary cookies. These cookies enable you to use our Services.
   These cookies are essential to enable you to browse our Services and use
   certain features. Disabling them may prevent you from using certain parts of
   the Services. Without these cookies, services such as shopping activity and
   paying activity cannot be provided. These cookies also help keep our Services
   safe and secure.
 * Preference cookies. These cookies store information such as your preferred
   country and language selection, login data and website preferences. Without
   these cookies, our Services may not be able to remember certain choices
   you've previously made (such as a saved country / language preference) or
   personalize your browsing experience by providing you with relevant
   information. These cookies can also be used to recognize your device so that
   you do not have to provide the same information more than once.
 * Performance cookies. These cookies collect information about how you use our
   Services such as which pages you visit regularly. These cookies are used to
   provide you with a high-quality experience by doing things such as tracking
   page load, site response times, and error messages.
 * Targeting / Advertising cookies. These cookies gather information about your
   use of our Services so we may improve your experience and provide you with
   more relevant content and advertising. They are also used to gather feedback
   on customer satisfaction through surveys. They remember that you've visited
   our Services and help us understand usage of our Services. Some of these
   cookies are from other parties that collect information about users of our
   Services in order to provide advertising (on our Services and elsewhere)
   based on users’ online activities (so-called "interest-based advertising") on
   our Services and elsewhere online. The other parties involved in
   interest-based advertising collect internet browsing information (e.g.,
   websites visited, time of visit) across different websites and over time, and
   they may use the information they collect on our Services to provide you ads
   (from us and other companies) across the internet.d


RETENTION

We retain your information for as long as is necessary for the purposes for
which it is collected and processed. These periods vary depending on the nature
of the information, your interactions with us, and the purposes for collection
and processing.

When the purposes for which we processed your information have concluded, we
will either permanently delete or destroy the relevant information or anonymize
it such that it no longer identifies you.


SECURITY

We use reasonable efforts to protect your information from unauthorized access,
use, or disclosure, but we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your
information because no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic
storage is fully secure.




You can improve the security of your information and any accounts you have with
the Services by creating strong passwords that only you know, closing accounts
after you are done using them on shared devices, and not accessing the Services
over unsecured networks. You are solely responsible for any activity that occurs
through your account, whether or not you authorized the activity. Please notify
us if you become aware of unauthorized use of your password or account.
