HealthyHeartDocs Privacy Policy

HealthyHeartDocs understands how important the privacy of personal information is to our users. This Privacy Policy will tell you what information we collect about you and about your use of HealthyHeartDocs and its services. It will explain the choices you have about how your personal information is used and how we protect that information. We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully.

This Privacy Policy applies to websites owned and operated by HealthyHeartDocs that are intended for use by consumers (non-professionals) for non-commercial personal, family or household purposes, including HealthyHeartDocs.com, and others as may be created, and including the mobile optimized versions of these sites and our Mobile Device Applications or “Apps” as may be created (we refer to these sites and Apps collectively as the “HealthyHeartDocs Sites”). We refer to the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and Apps, along with the information and services made available to you through the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and Apps, as the “Services.”

Except where noted, statements in this Privacy Policy with respect to the HealthyHeartDocs Sites also apply to the Apps. If you do not want us to collect, use or disclose information about you and your use of the Services as described in this Privacy Policy, then you should not use the Services. By using the Services, you must agree to the HealthyHeartDocs Terms of Use, which is the contract between us and users of the Services.  By accepting the HealthyHeartDocs Terms of Use, you confirm that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy and the HealthyHeartDocs Cookie Policy and you acknowledge that we will store, use and otherwise process your information in the United States where we are located.

References to “HealthyHeartDocs,” “we” or “us” mean HealthyHeartDocs , including any company that HealthyHeartDocs  controls (for example, a subsidiary that HealthyHeartDocs  owns). HealthyHeartDocs may share information among its subsidiaries or websites that it owns or controls, but information collected under this Privacy Policy is always protected under the terms of this Privacy Policy. Except as otherwise noted in this Privacy Policy, HealthyHeartDocs  is the data controller responsible for the processing of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collected About You

Some of our Services (such as certain quizzes, for example, or Services which require a registration) do not retain your personal information, while others (such as HealthyHeartDocs Lab Testing and the Ovulation/Pregnancy Calendar and the Healthy Target Program in the HealthyHeartDocs App and certain of our registration-only Apps like HealthyHeartDocs Baby, HealthyHeartDocs Pregnancy and HealthyHeartDocs Allergy) store your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Even if you do not register with or provide any personal information to HealthyHeartDocs, we may collect information about your use of the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and Apps and the Services. We may also acquire information about our users from external sources.

When you use the Services, we collect information as follows:

Registration

While you may use most of the Services without registering, certain Services do require that you register with HealthyHeartDocs for them to function properly. If you choose to register or update an existing account with HealthyHeartDocs or access certain Services, you may be required to provide certain personal information, such as your name, address, telephone number, gender, email address and date of birth, and a username and password to access your HealthyHeartDocs account. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the personal information that you submit to HealthyHeartDocs.

Email Newsletters

At registration and at various times as you use the HealthyHeartDocs Sites, you will be given the option of providing us with personal information in order to receive informational/promotional newsletters – such as a newsletter relating to a specific health condition – via email from HealthyHeartDocs and/or directly from third parties. From time to time HealthyHeartDocs may offer users of third party websites the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletters through those websites. If you elect to subscribe to one of our newsletters on a third party website, the operator of that website will provide us with the personal information you have provided in connection with the subscription request, which we may use in accordance with this Privacy Policy as though you had provided it directly to HealthyHeartDocs.

Emails You Send to HealthyHeartDocs

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information, content, business information, ideas, concepts or inventions that you send to HealthyHeartDocs by email. If you want to keep content or business information, ideas, concepts or inventions private or proprietary, do not send them in an email to HealthyHeartDocs.

Services and Device Information

When you access and use the Services, HealthyHeartDocs automatically collects and stores in its server logs information from your browser or mobile device such as your IP address or unique device identifier, browser information (including referring URL), your preferences and settings, cookies and information about the content you have viewed and actions taken (e.g., search queries, ad engagement, clicks and the associated dates and times). HealthyHeartDocs may also collect device-specific information when you install and use an App including your device model, operating system information, advertising ID (which is a unique, user-resettable identification number for advertising associated with a mobile device) and App version and usage information. When enabled by you, we collect precise location information provided by your mobile device, which you may disable through the device settings.

Precise Geolocation Data

When enabled by you, we may collect precise location information provided by your mobile device, such as latitude and longitude. We do so to provide you more relevant content including advertising based on your location. You may disable the collection and use of your location data through your device settings. To change location settings on your device, please refer to your device’s official knowledge base.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We and our partners use cookies to collect information about your use of the Services. “Cookies” are small data files assigned to your browser when you visit a HealthyHeartDocs Site which enable recognition of your browser and collect and store information about your use of the Services, as described above. In addition to cookies, we and our partners use other tracking technologies that collect information about your use of the Services, including mobile identifiers and “web beacons” which are small graphic files (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “web pixels”) embedded in a web page or email typically used to monitor activity and send relevant information back to a home server (which can belong to the host site, a network advertiser or some other third party). The information collected by such tracking technologies may be combined with other information that our partners have access to, including your name, email address and physical address, so that we can send you materials, either electronically or by direct mail, that may be of interest to you.

Our advertising service partners may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about your use of the HealthyHeartDocs Sites, including content you have viewed. These third parties may use this information to help HealthyHeartDocs deliver advertising on the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and on other third party websites based on your browsing activity on the HealthyHeartDocs Sites. HealthyHeartDocs may further tailor the advertising on the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and these other third party websites based on additional information to the extent known by HealthyHeartDocs or these third parties.

We may also work with third party ad networks to display advertising on our HealthyHeartDocs Sites and on third party websites. Our ad network vendors use technologies to collect information about your activities on the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and in our flagship HealthyHeartDocs App to provide you cookie-based targeted advertising on our HealthyHeartDocs Sites and on third party websites based upon your browsing activity and your interests.

Cross-Device Tracking

We and our service providers may collect and store information about users’ interactions with unaffiliated websites and applications that use our technologies, including cookies and similar tracking technologies. This allows us to infer the presence of a common user or household behind multiple devices. We do so in order to:

• detect and prevent fraud;
• allow users to use our service on one device and pick up seamlessly where they left off on another device;
• limit the number of times a user is shown the same advertisement, across known or inferred devices;
• provide personalized advertising on each device that is inferred from the browsing patterns on all of the devices

How Information Collected About You Is Used

Information about your use of the Services may be used for the following purposes:

• to provide, improve and create new Services,
• to respond to your inquiries and to send you administrative communications about the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and Services,
• to obtain your feedback about the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and Services,
• to send you secure electronic messages and personalized emails pertaining to your interests as inferred from your use of the Services, including news, announcements, reminders and opportunities from HealthyHeartDocs,
• to statistically analyze trends and user behavior and activity including how frequently areas of the HealthyHeartDocs Sites are visited, how the Services are being used and how many emails are received and opened,
• to provide you and people with similar demographic characteristics and interests with more relevant content including advertising both on and off the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and Apps,
• to offer lead generation services,
• to detect and defend against fraud and other threats to the Services and our users,
• to identify issues with the Services,
• to conduct research and measurement activities, including those described below,
• to administer your account, and
• HealthyHeartDocs may use personal information about you for other purposes that are disclosed to you at the time we collect the information and/or with your consent.

HealthyHeartDocs may combine your personal information and other information collected about your use of the Services, and also supplement with information from external sources for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. For example, information that HealthyHeartDocs collects about you may be combined by HealthyHeartDocs with other information available to HealthyHeartDocs through third parties for research and measurement purposes, including measuring the effectiveness of content, advertising or programs. This information from other sources may include age, gender, demographic, geographic, personal interests, product purchase activity or other information. We may report aggregate information, which is not able to be identified back to an individual user of the HealthyHeartDocs Sites, to our current or prospective advertisers and other business partners.

Sharing Your Information

Companies and Contractors that Work with HealthyHeartDocs

HealthyHeartDocs works with third party companies and contractors that help us provide the Services and to otherwise assist in the operation of the HealthyHeartDocs Sites and Apps, including those that provide services relating to technology, data analysis, research, email management and deployment, sweepstakes and contest administration, advertising and marketing and/or content. If you are in the United States, we may also partner with certain service providers to better understand your experience on the HealthyHeartDocs Sites, including technology that enables us to review and optimize the Services based on your interactions with certain pages (e.g., how much time you spend on which pages, which links you choose to click, what you do and don’t like, etc.) in an aggregated format. HealthyHeartDocs contractors sometimes have limited access to your information in the course of providing products or services to HealthyHeartDocs. We contractually require that our contractors not use or disclose your information for any purpose other than providing the limited service or function for HealthyHeartDocs.

Third Party Advertisers and Third Party Websites

We may share information that we have about you, such as a cookie ID or IP address, with third party advertising service providers who may use this information, on our behalf, to help HealthyHeartDocs deliver advertising on the HealthyHeartDocs Sites as well as on third party websites, as further described in our Cookie Policy.

Certain content, services and advertisements offered to you through the HealthyHeartDocs Sites are served on, or contain links to, websites hosted and operated by a company other than HealthyHeartDocs (“Third Party Websites”). HealthyHeartDocs does not share your personal information with these Third Party Websites without your consent, but you should be aware that any information you disclose to these Third Party Websites once you access these Third Party Websites is not subject to this Privacy Policy. HealthyHeartDocs does not endorse and is not responsible for the privacy practices of these Third Party Websites. You should review the privacy policy posted on the Third Party Website to understand how that Third Party Website collects and uses your information. HealthyHeartDocs makes an effort to make it obvious to you when you leave a HealthyHeartDocs Site and enter a Third Party Website, either by requiring you to click on a link or by notifying you on the HealthyHeartDocs Site before you visit the third party site. In addition, if you see a phrase such as “Powered by” or “in association with” followed by the name of a company other than HealthyHeartDocs, then you are on a website hosted by a company other than HealthyHeartDocs.

We may also include social widgets on the HealthyHeartDocs Sites which enable you to interact with the associated social media services, e.g., to share an article. These widgets may collect browsing data which may be received by the third party that provided the widgets and are controlled by these third parties. You may be able to manage your privacy preferences directly with the applicable social network platform.

Compliance with Law, Regulation, and Law Enforcement Requests

To cooperate with government authorities and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with law, we may release personal information to third parties: (1) to comply with legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order; (2) when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request; or (3) in special cases, such as in response to a physical threat to you or others, to protect property or defend or assert legal rights. In addition, we may disclose personal information as described below.

How Your Information is Secured and Retained

We take reasonable security measures to protect the security of your personal information. Despite HealthyHeartDocs’s efforts to protect your personal information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet may be intercepted.

The security of your personal information is important to us.  When you enter personal information (including personal health information in various Services), we encrypt the transmission of that information or use SSL connections (Secure Socket Layer) technology.

You can unsubscribe from an email newsletter by following the directions included at the bottom of the newsletter and using the “Unsubscribe” link found in the emails.

All promotional emails that HealthyHeartDocs sends with opportunities from HealthyHeartDocs or with offers or informational materials from HealthyHeartDocs on behalf of our sponsors will contain an opportunity to unsubscribe from getting additional emails of that type in the future from HealthyHeartDocs unless you re-subscribe.

Cookies

Most browser software can be set to reject Cookies. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject Cookies in the “Help” or “Settings” or “Preferences” section of your browser’s toolbar.  Refer to our Cookie Policy for additional information about opting out of Cookies.

Note to Users Outside of the United States

HealthyHeartDocs and our technical infrastructure are located in the United States.  The personal information that you provide to us is stored on servers located in the United States. If you are located in another jurisdiction, you should be aware that in order to provide the Services to you, we must transfer your personal information to the United States where it will be stored and processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may transfer your information outside the United States to service providers with operations in other countries. By using the Services, you consent to such collection, storage and processing in the United States and elsewhere, though the United States and other jurisdictions may not afford the same level of data protection as considered adequate in your own country. We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. Note that your personal information may be available to the United States government or its agencies under legal process made in the United States.
