Effective Date: January 18, 2024
This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information (as defined below) collected by CareVitality, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or the “Company,”) through https://carevitality.com/. Our website is operated solely for business purposes and not for any health care or medical purpose.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your Personal Information and how we will treat it.

When you submit or provide Personal Information to us, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
This policy may change from time to time as described below. Your continued use of our website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this policy periodically for updates. See Section 2 below (Changes to this Privacy Policy).
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR WEBSITE AND DO NOT PROVIDE US WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
This privacy policy DOES NOT apply to
- Protected Health Information or PHI (as described below),
- Information about our own employees, contractors, agents, and job applicants,
- Information that you share with any third-party website or service that you may access through our website, or
- Information disclosed or acquired through other activities as described below.
This policy applies to Personal Information we collect on or through our website or that you choose to provide (assuming that none of it is PHI). For example, it will apply if you include personally identifiable contact information when using the “Contact Us” function on the website or if you later include Personal Information in texts, emails or other electronic messages between you and the website.
This policy does not apply to information collected by us through any means other than our website.

THIS PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO PHI (PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION) UNDER HIPAA
Our website describes care management and related services that we may provide from time to time under contracts with health care providers (“Our Services”). Our Services may make us “Business Associates” of some health care providers or others that are subject to “HIPAA” (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its related regulations). HIPAA provides privacy protections for the PHI (protected health information) of individuals in connection with their treatment and certain related activities. HIPAA defines PHI (protected health information) at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-45/subtitle-A/subchapter-C/part-160/subpart-A/section-160.103.
However, our website is NOT intended to be used by patients or their representatives for health care or related services so this policy DOES NOT apply to PHI. No patient, customer of the Company, potential patient, potential customer or any of their representatives should submit PHI to our website or try to use it to transmit or maintain PHI.

The Effective Date of this Privacy Policy is set forth at the top of this webpage. As business needs change, we will review our practices regarding the collection and use of your Personal Information, and we may amend this Privacy Policy as appropriate. The amended Privacy Policy supersedes all previous versions. Your continued use of our website after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy.

Our website and related technology (and authorized third parties) use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about you, your device, and how you interact with our website. We refer to cookies, web beacons (also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) and other similar technology as “Data Collection Technology.”
Cookies are a small text file that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your computer’s hard drive. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (when it expires), and a randomly generated unique identifier. A cookie may also contain information about your computer, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using the website and related technology.
Pixels, web beacons, and tags are types of code or transparent graphics that contain a unique identifier. These technologies provide analytical information about the user experience and help us customize our marketing activities. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, pixels, web beacons, and tags are embedded invisibly on web pages.
Session replay tools record your interactions with our website and related technology, such as how you move throughout our website and engage with our webforms. This information helps us improve our website and identify and fix technical issues visitors may be having with our website.
Information Collected: These tracking technologies collect data about you and your device, such as your IP address, cookie ID, device ID, AdID, operating system, browser used, browser history, search history, and information about how you interact with our website (such as pages on our website that you have viewed).
How We Use Data Collection Technology: We and authorized third parties use these technologies to remember user preferences, login details and browsing behavior; improve the performance of our website, products, and Services; conduct analytics; provide you with offers that may be of interest to you; track your activity across online properties over time to better understand your preferences and interests; to conduct advertising on our website and those of third parties; measure the effectiveness of our communications with you and advertising campaigns, including identifying how and when you engage with one of our emails; and personalize online content. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us improve our website, performance and user experiences. Google Analytics may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. To learn how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit: “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. You may prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on our website by deleting or disabling the relevant cookies. For more information, see Section 8, “Choices”.
Disclosures of Your Information: Depending on your selected cookie and privacy settings, we may disclose information to third parties or allow third parties to directly collect information using these technologies on our website. These third parties, which include social media companies and advertising networks, use your information to provide you with more relevant advertising known as interest-based advertising.

You may also be able to reject mobile device identifiers by adjusting the appropriate setting on your mobile device. Such browser settings are typically found in the “options,” “tools” or “preferences” menu of your browser. You may also consult your browser’s “help” menu.
Please note that tools from commercial browsers may not be effective with regard to Flash cookies (also known as locally shared objects), HTML5 cookies or other tracking technologies. For information on disabling Flash cookies, visit https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/disable-local-shared-objects-flash.html.

If you change computers, devices, or browsers; use multiple computers, devices, or browsers; or delete your cookies, you may need to repeat this process for each computer, device, or browser.
Opting out of interest-based advertising will not opt you out of all advertising, but rather only interest-based advertising from us or our agents or representatives.
Our Policy on Do Not Track Signals: Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked.
