These partners may use cookies and other technologies to collect information about you (including the device data and online activity data described above) over time across our Service and other online services, as well as your interaction with our emails. They use that data and other information they collect to try to help advertisers reach their desired audience on the Services and/or tailor the ads you see on the Services and other online services to your interests. You can learn more about your choices for limiting interest-based advertising, in the Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising section below.

We may combine the information we collect through the Services with information we collect automatically or receive from other sources and use such combined information in accordance with this Policy.

We may use such aggregated and/or de-identified information for any purpose, including for research and marketing purposes, and may disclose such information in any way.

Wix.com platform, Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

1. Wix.com

Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with an online platform that allows us for example to publish our content, create and manage groups and forums, as well as host some of our other Services. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.

2. Cookies

We and other parties may use cookies and similar technologies like pixels (also known as clear GIFs) to collect your data. A cookie is a small text file that web servers place on your device, designed to store basic information and to help websites and apps recognize your browser. Cookies serve a variety of purposes, such as helping you navigate and interact with the Services, making your experience of the Services more relevant and personalized, helping us analyze use of the Services, saving your preferences, authenticating you, and enabling certain kinds of advertising. The cookies on the Services may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third parties (third-party cookies). We may use session cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your browser or device for longer). We may also use pixels in emails you receive from us to record actions such as whether you open an email or click a link in it.

To adjust your cookie preferences generally, please consult the “Help” section of your browser for information about how to adjust your browser settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated or to block cookies altogether. Any preferences you have exercised in this way will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them, so if you want these preferences to apply when you access the Services from a different browser or device, you will need to make these preference choices in that specific browser or device. If you block or disable certain cookies, the Services may not function as intended and you may not have access to certain features or functions. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Services to function, meaning that you cannot opt out of them. You can find more general information about cookies here.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (“UK”), please see the EEA/UK Privacy Notice below for more information about our use of cookies.

3. Analytics

We and third-party web analytics services, including Google Analytics, may use cookies and similar technologies on the Services for analytics purposes. You can find more information about Google’s analytics practices here.

To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Any preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them, so if you want these preferences to apply when you access the Services from a different browser or device, you will need to install the browser add-on or otherwise indicate your preferences in that specific browser or device.

4. Online Advertising

On the Services, we may allow third-party cookies and third-party advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google’s ad services) that use cookies and similar technologies to deliver relevant and targeted advertisements and other content to you on the Services and on other websites you visit and applications you use. These ads may be based on the content of the page you are visiting, automatically collected information, information you provide, and other information about you. These ads may also be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites, and may be tailored to your interests.

If you are interested in more information about tailored advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer or mobile browser to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out Link and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance's WebChoices Tool to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. For region-specific opt-out options, please see Regional Privacy Notices below.

Please note that you may still see ads on the Services or ads for the Services on other websites or apps, but these ads may not be tailored to you. We do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using them or their continued availability or accuracy. Any preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them, so if you want these preferences to apply when you access the Services from a different browser or device, you will need to indicate your preferences in that specific browser or device.

5. Mobile App Advertising

You may receive tailored in-app advertisements when using our Apps or other mobile apps. We may use vendors or other parties to deliver ads on mobile apps or for mobile app analytics. The operating system of your device provides instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. Please review these instructions and/or your device settings for more information on how to control in-app advertisements. We have no control over how and to what extent your operating system allows you to control tailored in-app advertisements.

6. Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that is available in certain web browsers which you can learn more about here. We, like many other Services, do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. Please note that DNT is different than the user “preference signal” referenced in the “Your Rights and Choices” section below, which is a browser-based control that indicates whether you would like to opt out of processing of your information for certain purposes, such as the “sale” of your information or the disclosure of your information for targeted advertising purposes, as defined under applicable laws.

How We Disclose Your Information

We may disclose the information we collect from and about you in the following ways:

Personnel. Our employees, contractors, and other personnel have access to your information as needed to provide the Services.
Affiliates. Information you provide to one of our Websites or Apps may be disclosed to our other Websites and Apps. We may also disclose your information to our corporate affiliates (joint ventures).

We may disclose or provide access to your information to vendors that provide services on our behalf, including website hosting, data storage, analytics, research, marketing and advertising, payment processing, security, data enrichment, content, contests and similar offerings, and other services.
Professional advisors. Professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors, bankers and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.
Business partners. We may compile and share with our research partners and other business partners information that you make publicly available on the Service (e.g., all posts in a certain time period by users posting about a particular medical condition). We may also share information you provide when you participate in our surveys or other research activities with our research partners and other business partners as described to you when we collect that information. We may share the Content you submit to us for republication on our partners’ websites.
Advertising. Third party advertising companies that collect information about your activity on the Service and other online services to help us advertise our services.
We may share certain data with Advertising platforms, such as Google and Social Networks such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Snapchat to allow us to target existing users and customers with highly relevant advertising campaigns. For the purposes of such campaigns. We may share a unique code (such as a hashed email address) with the applicable Advertising platform in order for that identifier to be matched against existing users of the relevant Advertising Platform and to identify potentially relevant audiences for targeted advertising. We may use services such as Google Ads’ Customer Match, LinkedIn Matched Audiences, ID5, LiveRamp, and Facebook Custom Audiences for these purposes. In addition to advertisements for our own goods and services, we may also facilitate third parties to advertise their own goods and services including by targeting those advertisements to those that might be most interested in them. These advertisements may be shown within our Services. In order to provide advertisements relevant to you, your IP address may be used, as well as your operating system and device type. Information about your particular device will be used to show you advertisements which work properly on that device.
Business transfers. In the event of a sale of some or all of our assets, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, including during negotiations of such an event, your data may be part of the transferred assets.
Legal compliance. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or legal process, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with a legal obligation, (2) protect and defend the rights, property, or personal safety of ourselves, our personnel, users of the Services or the public, (3) obtain legal advice, or (4) protect against legal liability. This includes disclosures for fraud prevention.
Authorities and others. Law enforcement, government authorities, crisis lines and private parties, as we believe in good faith to be necessary or appropriate for the purposes described above.
Other users and the public. Your username and profile picture are visible to the public and other users. Content that you post on the Service, including personally identifiable or medical information, is visible to other users and to the public as well in public communities. Any information you allow to be visible to the public or other users can be collected and used by others. We cannot control who reads the information that you make viewable or what they may choose to do with it.
With your consent. If you consent for us to disclose your information, we may do so consistent with your consent.

You may choose to post or otherwise provide information to the Services in such a way that other parties can view or access this information. For example, if you interact with the Services via social media platforms or use “social features” on the Services (e.g., Facebook plugins), such social media platforms may have access to information about you. If you participate in community forums, others may have access to information submitted or otherwise posted on those forums. Your choice to disclose information in these ways is not a disclosure of your information by us.

Retention

We retain your information for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is collected and processed. These periods vary depending on the nature of the information, your interactions with us, and the purposes for collection and processing.

When the purposes for which we processed your information have concluded, we will either permanently delete or destroy the relevant information or anonymize it such that it no longer identifies you.

Security

We use reasonable efforts to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, but we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information because no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is fully secure.

You can improve the security of your information and any accounts you have with the Services by creating strong passwords that only you know, closing accounts after you are done using them on shared devices, and not accessing the Services over unsecured networks. You are solely responsible for any activity that occurs through your account, whether or not you authorized the activity. Please notify us if you become aware of unauthorized use of your password or account.
