We may combine our first-party data, such as your email address or name, with third-party data from other sources and use this to contact you (e.g. through direct mail).

‍
Non-Personal Information We May Collect
“Non-Personal Information” is any information that does not reveal your specific identity. We may collect Non-Personal Information in a variety of ways, including:
Through Your Device: Certain information is collected automatically through your device, such as your operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, device identifier, language, the name and version of the software application you are using. We use this information to ensure that the Services function properly and to understand usage of the Services.Through Other Devices: Certain information may also be collected automatically through devices that are linked or paired to our Services. Through Server Log Files: Your “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to the device that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP Address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user uses the Application, along with the time of the use and the pages visited within the Application. We use IP Addresses for purposes such as helping to calculate Application usage levels, diagnose server problems and administer the Services.Physical Location: If you give us your consent, we may collect information about the physical location of your device, for example, using your device’s GPS functionality. We may use such information to provide you with personalized location-based services and content (for example, information regarding local Providers). We may also share your device’s physical location, combined with information about what advertisements you viewed and other information we collect, with our marketing partners to enable them to provide you with more personalized content and to study the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. You will be permitted to allow or deny such uses and/or sharing of your device’s location, but if you choose to deny such uses and/or sharing, we and/or our marketing partners may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services and content. From You: We may collect Non-Personal Information such as your general geographic location, as well as other information, such as your preferred means of communication, when you voluntarily provide such information to us or your Provider. Unless combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services.

‍By De-Identifying Information: Aggregated Personal Information is information that is derived from Personal Information that does not personally identify you or any other user of the Application. For example, we may aggregate Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code or a particular medical condition.
‍
How We Use and Disclose Non-Personal Information
Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose. In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your zip code with your name, or with your name together with a medical condition). If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is so combined.
‍
CONSENT TO COMMUNICATIONS
By using the Services and providing your contact information, such as your name, phone number, and email address, you consent to receiving email and text messages to tell you about the Services, such as important information about your requested service(s) and reminders to log back in to complete surveys and forms that you left incomplete. We may share your information with partner organizations whose products or services are important for the objectives of our Services. However, we do not exchange, trade, rent, or give phone or email lists to unaffiliated third parties, and third parties that receive your information from Tava Health are restricted from using this information in any way other than to provide services to Tava Health, or services for a collaboration in which they and Tava Health are engaged. You may opt-out from receiving email communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of our emails or by emailing hello@tavahealth.com. You may opt out from receiving text message communications at any time by replying to the text message with “STOP”. At that time, we will send a final text message confirming receipt of your opt-out notification.
‍
THIRD PARTIES
This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including Providers, the manufacturer of your mobile device, and any other third party mobile application or website to which the Application may contain a link. We encourage you to review the Notice of Privacy Practices of each Provider who provides you with services and the privacy policies of each website and application you visit and use.
‍
HIPAA
Your Provider may be regulated as a “Covered Entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Please be aware that this Privacy Policy is distinct from your Provider’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes in detail overall how your Provider uses and discloses your individually identifiable health information. Our use and disclosure of your Personal Information, which we receive pursuant to your express authorization, is not restricted under HIPAA. We will use and disclose your Personal Information consistent with the terms of your authorization and this Privacy Policy.
‍
SECURITY
We seek to use reasonable physical, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information under our control. Unfortunately, no mode of data transmission over the Internet or data storage system is 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee against all potential security breaches. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below.
‍
INTERNATIONAL USERS
We intend to provide our Services in the United States. Accordingly, this Policy, and our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information (as defined below) is governed by U.S. law. We do not represent or warrant that the Application, or any functionality or feature thereof, is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. If you choose to access or use the Application from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and at your own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. By using the Application and submitting any Personal Information from outside the United States, you acknowledge that the Application is subject to U.S. law and consent to the transfer of your Personal Information to the United States, which may provide a different level of data security than in your country of residence.
‍
UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we make the revised Privacy Policy available through the Application. We will update the “Effective Date” date at the top of this Privacy Policy if we make any such changes to this Privacy Policy. Your use of the Application or the submission of any information in connection with the Application following any change means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we collect, use, and disclose personally identifiable information.
