In this Privacy Policy (this “Policy”), we describe how WithMe Health, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses information that we obtain about users of our web portal (the “Web Portal”) and mobile application (the “App”) and the services available through our Web Portal and App (collectively, the “Services”).
By using the Web Portal, using or downloading the App, or using any of our Services, you agree that your personal information will be handled as described in this Policy, except for Protected Health Information (as defined in the section immediately below) submitted by you in the course of using the Services, which is covered by our Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices (the “HIPAA Policy”). Your use of our Web Portal, App, or Services, and any dispute over privacy, is subject to this Policy, the HIPAA Policy and our Terms of Use, including its applicable limitations on damages and the resolution of disputes. The Company Terms of Use are incorporated by reference into this Policy.
Through our Services offered via our Web Portal and App, you may be able to view your health conditions, procedures, lab results, and allergies; monitor your health dashboard; view and manage medication fills and refills; review medication costs and benefits; set medication reminders; receive personalized medication guidance; chat live with a medication guide; set health goals and reminders to help achieve such goals; receive automated alerts and reminders about drug interactions, refills, and physician visits; and authorize trusted caregivers to manage your account.
Protected Health Information
In certain circumstances, we may collect or use your information through our Web Portal, App and Services while acting as a “business associate” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), which may constitute “Protected Health Information.” A “business associate” includes an entity that provides services to a HIPAA covered entity that involves the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information. If we provide Services through the Web Portal or App on behalf of a HIPAA covered entity such as your employer sponsored health insurance plan or health care provider, we may qualify as their business associate. “Protected Health Information” as defined under HIPAA, generally means information about you that identifies you and that relates to your physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to you, or payment for health care provided to you. To the extent we are acting as a business associate, we will only use and disclose your information as permitted by HIPAA and the HIPAA Policy, which may include, but not be limited to, fulfilling our service obligations, our internal management and administration, to carry out our legal responsibilities, de-identify or aggregate data, or as otherwise required by law.

These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects (LSOs), to perform their services.

We and our third party service providers, including Google, may use the information that we collect about you (whether directly from our Web Portal App, or Services, or through your device(s), or from a third party) to help us and our third party service providers identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). We, and our third party service providers also may use the cross-device use and other information we learn about you to send you emails, push notifications, and other messages. To opt-out of cross-device advertising, you may follow the instructions set forth in the Third Party Ad Networks section below. Please note: if you opt-out of these targeted advertising cookies, your opt-out will be specific to the web browser, app, or device from which you accessed the opt-out.
