We want to share with you how we treat Personal Information about you that we receive in connection with this Website.

Information Wellsphere Collects

Sections of this Website (including restricted portions of this Website) that allow for the submission of Personal Information (referred to for convenience as “Profile Pages”) contain a function for collecting various pieces of your Personal Information including, but not limited to, your name, photograph, address, email address, date of birth, gender, height, weight, credit card or account information, and information about your interests, activities, skill levels, goals, blog or website URL, IM address. We only collect Personal Information if you voluntarily submit the information to us for such purposes as registering for use of restricted portions of this Website, completing surveys conducted by Wellsphere or a contractor acting on our behalf, participating in online focus groups, or requesting information or services. For your information, through certain technologies employed by this Website we also collect non-personally identifiable information about you. For more details about this type of data collection please refer to the section below on cookies. In the event of a complaint, we may also receive personally identifiable information about you from other Website subscribers or from other users or third parties who may communicate information to us about you in relation to that complaint.

How Wellsphere Uses Personal Information

Wellsphere reserves the right to compile, save, use within the scope of our activities, and analyze any and all data (contact and personal data, use history, etc.) that we collect from you through the Website. We use the Personal Information that you provide to us for our internal purposes such as (a) creating a user profile for you based on the Profile Pages you complete (b) designing a personalized homepage for you on our Website, (c) providing recommendations and reports based upon your user profile, (d) responding to inquiries and requests that you may make, (e) if applicable, announcing you as a “featured member” or any of your postings or endorsement messages as “featured postings” or “featured endorsements” on the Website, and (f) alerting you to new products and service offerings that may be of interest to you. We will make the following items of your information available to other users: profile name; age; gender; photograph (if provided); goals (if provided); activities (if provided); blog URL (if provided); height (if provided); weight (if provided); online status; city, state, and zip code location; date since you were registered as a user of the Website; date of your last log in to the Website, as well as information about your activity on the Website including postings; comments; photos and videos posted; questions asked and answered; communities joined; goals set; goal log and journal entries; classes & events that you are participating in; Local Resources on your recommendations lists; and friends. Wellsphere may communicate its response to inquiries or requests from you, or provide you with recommendations or reports, or alert you to new products and service offerings, by sending you emails, cell phone text messages, or placing telephone calls to you. If you decide, after receiving an electronic, text, or telephonic message, that you would prefer not to receive any such communications from Wellsphere, you may “Opt-out” of receiving such messages by simply setting your notification settings on your profile page.

Except as otherwise stated herein, Wellsphere does not trade, rent, or share your Personal Information with third parties unless you authorize us to do so. Your Personal Information will be used only in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws and Wellsphere will not share such information with any physician or other health care professional, employer, insurer, family member, or anyone else, unless you expressly authorize Wellsphere to do so (for example, we may disclose certain Personal Information on the Website in connection with your user profile if you have authorized us to do so by entering your information on the Profile Pages). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Wellsphere may disclose your Personal Information to, and allow its use by, trusted third-parties we have hired to provide services for us such as conducting online surveys for us or collecting and processing information on our behalf; provided such third parties are subject to terms no less restrictive than those set forth herein to protect your Personal Information.

Personally identifiable information that is collected from our surveys is used for research purposes, and is not used for sales solicitations. When a survey is sponsored by a third party, non-personally identifiable aggregated information of the survey results is reported to the sponsor. Personally identifiable information collected through market research will be used only by Wellsphere and its service providers and contractors and will not be given or sold to a third party without your consent or as otherwise permitted by this Privacy Policy. We will not knowingly accept survey responses from or conduct interviews with any person under the age of 18.

Although Wellsphere currently does not have a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with Wellsphere (collectively, “Affiliates”), Wellsphere may in the future. In the future, Wellsphere may share some or all of your Personal Information with these Affiliates, in which case Wellsphere will require its Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. If Wellsphere or its assets are acquired by another company, that company will gain access to the Personal Information collected by Wellsphere. Wellsphere will use reasonable efforts to require the acquiring company to assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. In addition, Wellsphere may disclose your Personal Information if Wellsphere believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on Wellsphere.

Wellsphere may also collect and group demographic and preferences information, responses to surveys, and other Personal Information we collect from you in an aggregated, non-personally identifiable form for disclosure to our existing and potential business partners, affiliates, sponsors or other third parties. However, please be assured that this aggregated data will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to this Website.

Disclosure to Linked Sites

There are links to third party websites operated by companies that are not affiliated with the Wellsphere Website and that do not have contracts to provide content or services through the Wellsphere Website. These links may be found in the wellness resources directory, advertisements, referenced within content, or placed beside the names or logos of sponsors. Wellsphere does not disclose your Personal Information to these third party websites without obtaining your consent. Wellsphere does not endorse and is not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. If you choose to link to one of these third party websites, you should review the privacy policy posted on such other website to understand how that third party website collects and uses your personally identifiable information.

Minors Policy

We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Neither Wellsphere nor any of its services are designed or intended to attract children under the age of 18. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is under the age of 18.

Wellsphere employs commercially reasonable security programs to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, you should be aware that Wellsphere cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with Personal Information. Despite Wellsphere’s strong efforts to protect your personally identifiable information and personal health 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.

Use of Cookies

Like most websites, Wellsphere requires cookies to function properly. Cookies are small text files that reside on your computer and identify you as a unique user. We use cookies to refine our site and simplify the user experience. This cookie technology allows users to move more quickly through our Website. For example, the use of cookies allows registered users to enter our site without explicitly typing in their email address and password every time they access this Website. Wellsphere uses session ID cookies for increased security reasons. The user's session ID cookie stores only an identification ID that Wellsphere uses to identify a user as the user moves throughout the Website. The session ID cookie does not contain any personally identifying information. When a user closes the browser, logs out, or goes for extended periods of time without activity, the cookie terminates.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you certain features available on the Wellsphere Website.

Information Collected by Third Parties Not Acting on Behalf of Wellsphere

Sponsors or advertisers on this Website may use their own Cookies or other online tracking technologies in the advertisements served on the Website and in emails, special promotions or newsletters you agree to have sent to you as a result of being on our site. Some advertisers use companies other than Wellsphere to serve their ads and to monitor users' responses to ads, and these companies (“Ad Servers”) may also collect Non-Personal Information through the use of Cookies or Web Beacons on our Website. In certain situations, information collection may be facilitated by momentarily directing your browser to the website of an Ad Server or other third party acting on behalf of the sponsor, partner, or advertiser before re-directing your browser to its selected area. You should be aware that Wellsphere cannot control the use of cookies by advertisers or any information advertisers may gather from their use of cookies.
