Finally, Althea might use various tracking, data aggregation and/or data analysis technologies, including, for example, the following:
Cookies are small data files (e.g., text files) stored on the browser or device you use to view a website or message. They may help store user preferences and activity, and may allow a website to recognize a particular browser or device. There are several types of cookies, including, for example, browser cookies, session cookies, and persistent cookies.
Cookies may record information you access on one page of a website to simplify subsequent interaction with that website, or to help streamline your transactions on related pages of that website. Most major browsers are set up so that they will initially accept cookies, but you might be able to adjust your browser's or device's preferences to issue you an alert when a cookie is downloaded, or to block, reject, disable, delete or manage the use of some or all cookies on your browser or device.
Flash cookies are cookies written using Adobe Flash, and which may be permanently stored on your device. Like regular cookies, Flash cookies may help store user preferences and activity, and may allow a website to recognize a particular browser or device. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings that are used for regular cookies.
Web beacons are pieces of code embedded in a website or email to monitor your activity on the website or your opening of the email, and which can pass along information such as the IP address of the computer or device you use to view the website or open the email, the URL page on which the web beacon is located, the type of browser that was used to access the website, and previously set cookie values.
Web beacons are sometimes used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. Disabling your computer's, device's or browser's cookies may prevent some web beacons from tracking or recording certain information about your activities.
Scripts are pieces of code embedded in a website to define how the website behaves in response to certain key or click requests sent by the user. Scripts are sometimes used to collect information about the user's interactions with the website, such as the links the user clicks on. Scripts are often times temporarily downloaded to the user's computer or device from the website server, active only while the user is connected to the Site and/or the App, and deactivated or deleted when the user disconnects from the website.
Analytic tools and services are sometimes offered by third parties, and which track, measure and/or generate information about a website's or program's traffic, sales, audience and similar information, and which may be used for various reasons, such as, for example, statistical research, marketing research, and content ratings research, and conversion tracking.
Examples of the analytic tools and services which Althea might use include Google Analytics. Althea may also use other third-party analytic tools and services.
We also may use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message. This information is gathered from all users.
When you access our Service from a mobile device, we may collect unique identification numbers associated with your device or our mobile application (including, for example, a UDID, Unique ID for Advertisers ("IDFA"), Google AdID, or Windows Advertising ID), mobile carrier, device type, model and manufacturer, mobile device operating system brand and model, phone number, and, depending on your mobile device settings, your geographical location data, including GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device, or we may be able to approximate a device's location by analyzing other information, like an IP address.
We and our third-party partners may also use cookies and tracking technologies for advertising purposes. For more information about tracking technologies, please see "Third Party Tracking and Online Advertising" below.
We may also implement third-party content or advertising on the Service that may use clear gifs or other forms of web beacons, which allow the third-party content provider to read and write cookies to your browser in connection with your viewing of the third-party content on the Service.
Additionally, we may implement third-party buttons (such as Facebook "like" or "share" buttons) that may allow third parties to collect information about you through such third parties' browser cookies, even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected through web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties, and Althea does not participate in that data transmission.
Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party's own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.
Please be advised that if you choose to block, reject, disable, delete or change the management settings for any or all of the aforementioned technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies, then certain areas of the Site might not function properly.
By visiting, accessing or using the Site and/or the App, you acknowledge and agree in each instance that you are giving Althea permission to monitor or otherwise track your activities on the Site and/or the App, and that Althea may use the aforementioned technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies.
Althea may use the personal and/or non-personal information it collects from you through the Site in a variety of ways, such as, for example, to:
Althea reserves the right to use your personal and non-personal information when:
One of Althea's objectives is to accelerate the rate of acceptance of psychedelic medicine. We believe that in order to do this, the world of psychedelic medicine needs better data to surface safe, effective practices for scale. For this reason, gathering collective insights from across our user base is of the highest priority. We believe that by analyzing our aggregate data, we can help impact the rate of acceptance of this revolutionary approach to healing.
Althea uses aggregate information to develop collective insights to help further the collective understanding and knowledge of psychedelic medicines, protocols, efficacy, and approaches. This insight is available within our Site and App to help practitioners better understand how their approaches compare to the cross-practice benchmarks we develop using this information. This in turn helps to identify areas for improvement and helps our practitioner customers to improve their health outcomes.
We collect your individual-level information into what is called aggregate information. All personal data has been removed in aggregated information. We use and share this aggregated information with selected third parties in order to conduct our own research, develop research reports, educate our users, and improve our services.
We will never sell or lease the personal data of our users. In addition, de-identified, aggregated, and anonymized data will only be used for research purposes and will never be used for marketing purposes.
We will never sell, rent or otherwise provide your Personal Information to any third party for marketing purposes.
Althea does not authorize third parties to collect your personal information when you use the Site, except as described in this Privacy Policy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Althea is not responsible for, and you hereby release Althea from any and all liability which may arise from, such third parties' unauthorized collection, use and sharing of your personal information.
We only share your Personal Information with third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, to carry out your instructions, as may be compelled by law, or as necessary to protect our rights or property. For example, Althea reserves the right to share your personal information with:
Such third parties are prohibited from using your Personal Information except for these purposes, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
With your explicit consent, we may share your Personal Information with our research partners in connection with our research activities. Our mission includes contributing to ongoing research and insights on the efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapy. In order to successfully carry out our mission, we support research through a combination of analyzing our aggregate data, and direct market research activities.
Our research may include analyzing aggregate information, conducting research surveys, and working with selected third-parties to support their research goals. You can opt out of any or all of these at any time. You can regularly revoke, reassess, and change the settings regarding how your information is stored, used, and shared at any time in your account settings or by contacting info@withalthea.com directly.
Our research makes use of aggregate information. Aggregate information is data that has been amalgamated from multiple participants and is not linked to any specific individual. When your data is compiled into aggregated information, all personally identifiable information is removed and combined with other participants' data so that no individual can reasonably be identified.
People who have chosen to participate in studies that involve the treatment of specific conditions may be asked to provide additional consent forms for researchers to reference their de-identified, individual-level information for ongoing research. As with everything, this is your choice.
The de-identified and aggregated data gathered may also contribute to the research of selected third-party institutions working with Althea. These third-parties may also field research studies via our network to you. It will always be your choice to take part in these studies via an explicit opt-in.
Our Site and App offer publicly accessible community services such as blogs and forums. You should be aware that any information or content you provide in these areas may be made public and read, collected, and used by others who access them. Your posts may remain even after you cancel your account.
We may share your information with a court, a regulatory entity, law enforcement personnel, or pursuant to a subpoena, to comply with applicable law or any obligations thereunder. We may be required to disclose your Personal Information and/or information with respect to your use of our Site and/or App in response to lawful requests by governmental or regulatory agency or by court order, subpoena or other legal process or requirement, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or if we reasonably believe that such disclosure is necessary:
(i) To investigate, prevent or take action with respect to suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies
(ii) To protect the safety of any person from death or serious bodily injury
(iii) To prevent fraud or abuse of our Site and/or App or infringement of our intellectual property rights in our Site and/or App
(iv) To enforce our terms of use or your agreements with us
(v) To investigate and defend ourselves against any third party claims or allegations
You should also be aware that our mental health counselors may be obliged to disclose information to law enforcement or other authorities to conform to their professional and legal responsibilities. Specifically, and without limitation, you should be aware that the law requires mental health professionals to disclose information and/or take action in the following cases:
(a) Reported or suspected abuse of a child or vulnerable adult
(b) Serious suicidal potential
(c) Threatened harm to another person
(d) Court-ordered presentation of treatment
We may sell, transfer or otherwise share your information to a third party in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets of Althea or in the event of bankruptcy of Althea and you agree that any such third party will have the right to continue to use your Personal Information and other information that you provide to us or which we obtain through your use of the service.
We may share your information to enforce any applicable terms and conditions applicable to our Site and/or App, and to ensure the safety and security of the Site and/or App and our users.
We may share your information with any subsidiaries or parent companies within our corporate group.
Due to the use of cookies and web beacons, information regarding your activity on our websites, excluding activity when you are logged in and have started therapy, may be disclosed to our advertising partners to optimize marketing. We do not share with any advertising platform private information like member names, email addresses, phone numbers, diagnosis, sessions data, journal entries, messages, worksheets, or any other type of communication you have with your telehealth professional. If you want to opt out of these cookies and web beacons, reach out to us at info@withalthea.com
We may also share aggregated or anonymized information that does not directly identify you with the third parties described above.
We will share your personal information with third parties when we have your consent to do so.
Althea does not limit the ways in which it may use or share non-personal information because non-personal information does not identify you. For example, Althea may freely share non-personal information with its affiliates, suppliers and representatives, as well as with other individuals, businesses, and government entities. We may de-identify your information and disclose such de-identified information for any business or other purpose not prohibited by applicable law.
We use Google Analytics to recognize you and link the devices you use when you visit our Site on your browser or mobile device, log in to your account on our Site or App, or otherwise engage with us. We share a unique identifier, like a user ID or hashed email address, with Google to facilitate the service.
Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our users interact with our Site and App and to tailor our advertisements and content to you. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google's site "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps" located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics' currently available opt outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Ad-On here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics, such as Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Site and/or App.
You may control your advertising preferences or opt out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences, or by vising NAI's online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.
Althea may retain your personal information and non-personal information for as long as it believes necessary; as long as necessary to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes and/or enforce its agreements; and/or as long as needed to provide you with the Site and/or the App. Althea may dispose of or delete any such personal information or non-personal information at any time, except as set forth in any other agreement or document executed by Althea or as required by law.
In connection with any transaction that you conduct through the Site (e.g., the payment of any subscription fees, the purchase or sale of any services on or through the Site and/or the App), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction, including, without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date, your billing address, your phone number and/or your email address.
By submitting such information, you grant Althea without charge the irrevocable, unencumbered, universe-wide and perpetual right to provide such information to third parties for the sole purpose of facilitating the transaction.
The Site, the App, and/or any communications sent through or as a function of the Site may contain links to third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and/or applications. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Althea is not responsible for, and you hereby release Althea from any and all liability which may arise from, such third party websites, networks, platforms, servers and applications (including, without limitation, the privacy policies and practices of such third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers, and applications).
You may have the opportunity to access the Site using your online user accounts with certain third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications, which may be subject to separate privacy policies pertaining to those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications. Althea may also collect information from those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications (such as, for example, your name, gender, date of birth and personal interests, when you "like" or click links provided by or through those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers, or applications and other information available through your online account or page with those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications).
Althea does not control these third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and/or applications and our provision of links to or use of these third party websites, networks, platforms, servers and/or applications does not constitute an endorsement and you should proceed with caution. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third party websites, networks, platforms, servers and/or applications, which are subject to their own privacy policies, waivers and terms of use.
It is your responsibility to carefully read, accept and comply with the relevant terms of use, waivers, and privacy policies associated with third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and applications, which may be significantly different from ours.
Althea implements security measures to help protect the personal information it collects through the Site and the App. For example, Althea encrypts the transmission of information through the Site by using secure socket layer (SSL) technology.
When sensitive Personal Information (such as a credit card information) is collected on our store, it is protected by our third-party credit card processor.
As part of providing you the Site and/or App, we may need to provide you with certain communications (via in app message, text and email), such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Site and/or App and may occur via emails, text messages or in app messages.
You acknowledge that you are aware that email and text messages are not secure methods of communication and that your communication with us is not encrypted, and that you agree to the risks including the risk that the information contained within emails or texts could be read by a third party.
Although we use industry standard security measures, the Internet is not a 100% secure environment and we cannot, and do not, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit or store using the Site and/or App. There is no guarantee that your information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical or managerial safeguards and we are not responsible for third party circumvention of your privacy settings or our security measures.
You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information and for controlling access to your account.
To help maintain the security of your personal information, Althea asks that you please notify it immediately of any unauthorized visit, access or use of the Site and/or the App, or the loss or unauthorized use of your user access information for the Site (e.g., username or password).
You may, of course, decline to share certain personal information with us, in which case we may not be able to provide to you some of the features and functionality of the Site and/or App.
You may unsubscribe from our marketing communications by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link located on the bottom of our emails, or to any one of the following:
Please be aware that if you opt out of receiving commercial email from us or otherwise modify the nature or frequency of promotional communications you receive from us, it may take up to ten (10) business days for us to process your request, and you may receive promotional communications from us that you have opted out from during that period.
Additionally, even after you opt out from receiving commercial messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us regarding the Site as long as you remain a member of Althea.
There are several ways to opt out of web tracking:
Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies or prevent cross-domain tracking. This will limit the cookies that can be set by third-party scripts. This will not completely eliminate tracking by some third-party services though as they may use first-party cookies.
Most browsers also allow you to ask not to be tracked (it sends the "Do Not Track" request header). If you have enabled this feature, we will not track the pages you visit in a way that enables us to connect them to your personal information. Your page views may still be collected anonymously though. Many of the third-party services we use for collecting anonymous data also respect the Do Not Track setting.
Most browsers allow you to adjust your browser settings to:
(i) Notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it
(ii) Disable existing cookies
(iii) Set your browser to automatically reject cookies
Blocking or deleting cookies may negatively impact your experience using the Service, as some features and services on our Service may not work properly. Deleting cookies does not delete Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as HTML5.
To learn about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt out of some of this advertising, you may wish to visit the Network Advertising Initiative's (NAI) online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices and/or the DAA's resources at www.aboutads.info/choices.
Please note that opting out of receiving interest-based advertising through the NAI's and DAA's online resources will only opt out a user from receiving interest-based ads on that specific browser or device, but the user may still receive interest-based ads on his or her other devices. You must perform the opt out on each browser or device you use.
You may also be able to limit interest-based advertising through the settings on your mobile device by selecting "limit ad tracking" (iOS) or "opt out of interest based ads" (Android). You may also be able to opt out of some—but not all—interest-based ads served by mobile ad networks by visiting http://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading the mobile AppChoices app.
Some of these opt outs may not be effective unless your browser is set to accept cookies. If you delete cookies, change your browser settings, switch browsers or computers, or use another operating system, you will need to opt out again.
You may request at any time that Althea provide you with an opportunity to review and change your personal information collected through the Site or to no longer use your personal information to provide you with any products or services. Please submit any such request ("Request Concerning Personal Information") to any one of the following:
For each Request Concerning Personal Information, please state "Your Personal Information" in the email or letter subject line, and clearly state the following in the body:
If you send a Request Concerning Personal Information by mail, then please do so by U.S. Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to allow for confirmation of mailing, delivery and tracking. Althea will not accept a Request Concerning Personal Information via telephone or facsimile. Althea is not responsible for any Request Concerning Personal Information that is incomplete, incorrectly labeled, or incorrectly sent.
Please note that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases within a reasonable period of time, we may retain all information you submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so. We may not be able to modify or delete your information in all circumstances.
Some of the information you submit or that is created through your use of the Service may constitute "protected health information" ("PHI") as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). PHI does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA.
Even though Althea is not a "covered entity" as defined by HIPAA, providers that provide services through the Site and the App may be a "covered entity" and therefore the providers and/or Althea may be subject to certain requirements under HIPAA. As a result, Althea has adopted a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices (the "Notice of Privacy Practices") to describe how Althea and its providers use and disclose your PHI.
The Site and App may only be used within certain jurisdictions within the United States as set forth in the Althea Terms of Service. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy, and our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information, is governed by U.S. law, and by using the Site and/or App, you acknowledge that the Site and/or App will be governed by U.S. law.
Using the Site and/or App from outside the United States is prohibited under our Terms of Service and may subject you to termination under such Terms of Service. In no event will Althea or any of its officers, directors, employees, consultants, subsidiaries, agents, and affiliated entities or any of Althea's providers, be liable for any losses or damages arising from your use of the Site and/or App outside of the United States, and you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of your location outside the United States.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not represent or warrant that the Site and/or App is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. If you choose to use the Site and/or App from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing.
Also, we may transfer your data from the United States to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Site and/or App. By providing any information, including PHI, on or to the Site and/or App, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.
These California Privacy Rights Disclosures (the "CA Disclosures") provide additional information about how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise process personal information of individual residents of the State of California, either online or offline, within the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") and California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CPRA"). Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms in these CA Disclosures have the same meaning as defined in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise defined in the CCPA.
The CCPA provides that you may not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
When we use the term "personal information" in these CA Disclosures, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.
For the purposes of these CA Disclosures, personal information does not include:
As a California resident, you may be able to exercise the following rights in relation to the Personal Information about you that we have collected (subject to certain limitations at law):
You have the right to request any or all of the following information relating to the personal information we have collected about you or disclosed in the last 12 months, upon verification of your identity:
You have the right to request the deletion of personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
You have the right to direct us not to sell personal information we have collected about you to third parties now or in the future. If you are under the age of 16, you have the right to opt in, or to have a parent or guardian opt in on your behalf, to such sales.
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of the rights described above. However, please note that if the exercise of the rights described above limits our ability to process personal information (such as in the case of a deletion request), we may no longer be able to provide you our products or services or engage with you in the same manner.
We collect various categories of personal information in connection with our services. Please review this Privacy Policy to learn more about the personal information we collect, how we collect personal information and how we use personal information. The personal information we collected in the last twelve months is as described above under the heading "Categories of Information Collected".
We do not "sell" personal information as most people would typically understand that term. However, we do allow certain third-party partners and providers to collect information about consumers directly through our services for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our services and ads, providing content and ads that are more relevant, measuring statistics and the success of ad campaigns, and for other business purposes.
To the extent this practice is interpreted to constitute a "sale" under the CCPA, please see the section of this Privacy Policy with the heading "Opting-out and Unsubscribing" for more information including how you may be able to exercise your rights to opt-out of cookies, analytics and personalized advertising.
You may request that we:
To exercise your right to know and/or right to deletion, please submit a request by emailing info@withalthea.com with the subject line "California Rights Request".
We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally require the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. Although we try to limit the personal information collected in connection with a request to exercise the right to know and/or the right to deletion to that personal, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to know and/or right to deletion, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.
As noted above, we do not "sell" personal information as most people would typically understand that term. However, we do allow certain third-party partners and providers to collect information about consumers directly through our services for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our services and ads, providing content and ads that are more relevant, measuring statistics and the success of ad campaigns, and detecting and reporting fraud.
To the extent this practice is interpreted to constitute a "sale" under the CCPA, please see the section of this Privacy Policy with the heading "Opting-out and Unsubscribing" for more information including how you may be able to exercise your rights to opt-out of cookies, analytics and personalized advertising.
We will update these CA Disclosures from time to time. When we make changes to these CA Disclosures, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to these CA Disclosures, we will notify you by email to your registered email address, by prominent posting on our website, or through other appropriate communication channels. All changes shall be effective from the date of publication unless otherwise provided in the notification.
If any term or condition of this Privacy Policy is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of law with binding authority, then the remaining terms and conditions shall not be affected, and the court shall reform the invalidated or unenforceable term or condition to the maximum extent permitted under the law and consistent with the intent of this Privacy Policy.
