Privacy Policy

Pursuant Health respects your privacy and is committed to complying with this Privacy Policy, which describes what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how we use it, with whom we may share it, and what choices you have regarding our use of your information.

We treat any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual as “Personal Data”. Personal Data can be data that either personally identifies you or data that is about you but does not personally identify you because it has been de-identified by removing information that might be used to identify you, such as your name or contact information. When your data is combined or collected together with the data of other individuals in a summary form that does not identify you, such “Aggregated Data” is not considered Personal Data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Data collected through the Pursuant Health Kiosk and Pursuant Health’s related services, including those services available through our website, pursuanthealth.com (collectively, the “Services”). To the extent that you receive services from Pursuant Health affiliated providers or from your own providers, each of those providers, and not Pursuant Health, is responsible for providing you with notice of the privacy practices that will govern their use of your data. If you receive such a notice from a healthcare provider, that provider’s notice of privacy practices will apply and not this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is not intended to and does not create any contractual right in or on behalf of any party.

Information we collect from users

When you use our Services, you may be asked to provide a variety of information, including:

  • Account information: Including member ID, email address, account status, and date of birth.

  • Health information: Data relating to your age, health status, responses to health-related surveys, and measurements including blood pressure, pulse rate, and weight.

  • Contact information: Data such as name, email address, phone number, physical address, or other contact information.

  • Demographic information: Data you provide that identifies information such as your gender or ethnicity.

  • Health Plan information: Including your health plan’s member ID and the identity of the health plan to which you belong.

  • Usage data: Data about your activity on and use of our Services, including location of Kiosks used, product interaction, performance and diagnostic data, and other usage data.

  • Other information you provide to us, including responses to surveys and content of communications with Pursuant Health, including interactions with customer support and social media channels.

YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE US WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION; HOWEVER, IF YOU CHOSE NOT TO DO SO, ACCESS TO CERTAIN FEATURES OF OUR SERVICES MAY BE UNAVAILABLE TO YOU. For example, if you want to receive a copy of your blood pressure and weight measurements, you must provide us with your email address. Some information, such as age, gender, and date of birth is necessary for us to complete an assessment or screening.

Additionally, the use of some of our Services, including retinal imaging services, will require a user to set up a web-based user account in order to store, view and download retinal images or to consent to and authorize Pursuant Health to send the images to an eye specialist and to receive a report of the results. The establishment of an online user account will require you to provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, email address, and phone number.

Information we collect about members or patients of our Covered Entity Customers

In some cases, we may provide Services on behalf of your health plan, health insurance company or health care providers who are subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (the “HITECH Act”), and regulations promulgated thereunder (“HIPAA Regulations”). These entities are our “Covered Entity” customers and partners. Individually identifiable health information (“Protected Health Information”, or “PHI”) that we collect on behalf of Covered Entities is subject to additional legal protections. Accordingly, we will only collect, use, and disclose PHI as permitted by our contracts with such Covered Entity customers and as permitted or required by applicable law.

To provide the Services on behalf of our Covered Entity Customers, we may collect certain information from you in addition to information collected from general users of the Pursuant Health Kiosks, such as your health insurance member ID. In these situations, we will notify you about the information that is being collected, why, and how it will be shared, and you will be able to choose whether you want to consent and proceed.

In instances where you have authorized Pursuant Health to use and disclose your PHI for certain purposes, such consent may be withdrawn. You may withdraw your consent by sending your request in writing using the contact information available on our website www.pursuanthealth.com/contact-us.

You may request to access and correct the personal information we maintain about you by sending your request in writing using the contact information available on our website www.pursuanthealth.com/contact-us or by logging in to your account and updating your account information.

You may request deletion of personal information by us, but please note that we may be required or permitted (by law or otherwise) to keep this information and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will inform you of that decision). When we delete personal information, it will be deleted from the active database but may remain in our archives as permitted by applicable law. After we delete personal information, we may retain deidentified information and Aggregated Data and will continue to use such information as permitted under this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

We do not sell personal information to third parties, although, as described above, we may disclose your information pursuant to your consent and to our service providers for a business purpose. If you choose to exercise your privacy rights, we will not charge you different prices, if applicable, or provide different quality of services unless those differences are related to the value of your information.

Please note that in some cases we will need to verify your identity and request more information before taking further action. As a part of this process, we may collect government identification.

NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: California residents have the right to request that Pursuant Health delete your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Under California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make the request on your behalf. To designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you may need to provide a valid power of attorney, the requester’s valid government-issued identification, and the authorized agent’s valid government-issued identification. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless certain exceptions apply. Once the data is deleted you will no longer have access to the data through or by our Services. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

Cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies

Pursuant Health Services may use cookies and other technologies such as web beacons. These technologies help us to better understand user behavior, telling us which parts of our websites people have visited, and measure the effectiveness of advertising and web searches.

On the website, you may accept or decline the use of cookies to collect browsing information. If you decline to use cookies to collect information about your browsing activity, only essential cookies will be used in your browser to remember your preference not to be tracked.

Most popular Internet browser applications will allow you to configure the browser so as not to accept cookies. However, setting your browser to reject cookies may, in certain instances, prevent you from taking full advantage of the website (or some portion thereof) and its capabilities, or cause some features of the website to function improperly.

In some email messages we send to you we provide links which allow us to track these click events to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure whether we are communicating with you effectively. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click on links in email messages.

We also partner with one or more third parties (such as advertisers and ad networks) to display advertising on our website and/or to manage and serve advertising on other sites. Pursuant Health and its third-party providers may use web beacons, cookies, pixel tags and similar tracking technologies to collect and use certain information about your online activities, either on our website or other sites or mobile apps, to infer your interests and deliver you targeted advertisements that are more tailored to you based on your browsing activities and interests (“Interest Based Advertising”).

Children

Our Services are intended for a general audience and are not intended for use or view by children under 18 years of age or, in the case of use of the retinal imaging services, under 22 years of age. If you are under age 18 (or 22 in the case of retinal imaging services), please do not attempt to use our Services or provide any personal information about yourself to us. Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, we will not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information.

How we protect your information

In providing the Services and conducting our business, Pursuant Health endeavors to strictly comply with all applicable requirements of state and federal privacy laws and employs reasonable, industry-standard physical, electronic, and administrative security controls to help protect against unauthorized access to personal information. However, NO DATA TRANSMISSION OVER THE INTERNET OR SHARED NETWORKS CAN BE GUARANTEED TO BE PERFECTLY SECURE. AS A RESULT, WE CANNOT ENSURE OR GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US, AND YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. Where you have been given or chosen a password, it is your responsibility to keep this password confidential.

Please report any security violations or concerns to us at Report a potential Security Event.

Accessing services from outside the United States

If you are accessing the Services, or any part thereof, from outside of the United States of America, you are hereby notified that your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States, where our services are located and operated. Thus, we will take all steps necessary to protect your privacy in compliance with the data protection and other laws of the United States, which may or may not be as comprehensive as the laws in your country.

The most recent version of the Privacy Policy is reflected by the version date located at the bottom of this Privacy Policy. All such updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice thereof, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of this Privacy Policy on our website at www.pursuanthealth.com. YOU SHOULD VIEW THIS PRIVACY POLICY OFTEN TO STAY INFORMED OF CHANGES THAT MAY AFFECT YOU, AS YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SYSTEM SIGNIFIES YOUR CONTINUING CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
