- Service Emails and Other Communications.
- Our Services allow users to communicate with others through our in-product messaging services. Communications that are sent by or on behalf of a user are indicated as being “From” that user. Communications that are sent by us are indicated as being from us or one of our account or support specialists assigned to assist you. Either type of communication may be a “real time” communication or communication triggered automatically upon the occurrence of certain events or dates.
- Email communications from users and our administrative announcements are often transactional or relationship messages, such as workout reminders and message notifications, or other service notifications. If you or your healthcare provider are using these Services, you may not be able to opt-out of receiving certain messages, although our Services may provide a means to modify the frequency of receiving them. In cases in which we believe user emails are not primarily transactional or relationship messages, there will be the option to opt-out of receiving further emails.
- Cookies and Tracking Analytics. We use cookies, local shared objects, log files, clear GIFs, embedded scripts, and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you.
- Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies enable a faster log-in process, and some allow us to track your activities on our Services. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to disable cookies or change your cookies settings.
- Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags, and Other Technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs, or pixel tags) in connection with our Services to, for example, track the activities of visitors to our Site, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our Sites. We may also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
- Local Storage Objects. We may use Local Storage Objects (“LSOs”), including Flash LSOs, to store your preferences and to personalize your visit. LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions.
- Do Not Track Disclosure. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies).
- Third-Party Analytics. We also use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics to evaluate usage of Services. We use these tools to gather information about users to help us improve our Services, performance, and user experiences. We may disclose information, including personal information, to certain third-party services in order to obtain such services. These analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to perform their services and may combine the information that they collect about you on our Services with other information that they have collected on our Services. This Policy does not cover such third parties’ use of the data. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, you can download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Third-Party Collection. Our Services may contain links to third-party websites and applications or integrate with websites and services provided by third parties. Any access to and use of such linked websites, applications, or third-party services is not governed by this Policy but instead by the privacy statements of those third parties. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third parties and we encourage you to read their privacy statements.
- Data Security. The security of personal information is important and WebPT has implemented safeguards to protect the personal information it collects. To prevent unauthorized access and maintain data accuracy, we employ a number of technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of digital storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Further, you should take steps to protect your device and/or account by, for example, logging off when you have finished with a session and choosing a robust password that no one else knows or could easily guess.
- Your Choices
- Correcting or Deleting Personal Information. You may correct or request deletion of your personal information by logging into your account and updating your information. Please note that we may retain certain information about you as required by law or as permitted by law for legitimate business purposes (e.g., in accordance with our record retention policies or to enforce any agreements related to the Services).
- Opting out of Email Communications. We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you. You may opt out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email or emailing us at legal@webpt.com. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt out of receiving marketing emails from us, we may still send you non-promotional emails (e.g., about your account with us).
- Interest-Based Advertising
- Opting Out. We use third parties such as network advertisers to display advertisements on our Services, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third-party websites, and to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns. You may opt-out of many third-party ad networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). For more information regarding this practice by NAI members and DAA members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including how to opt out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA members, please visit their respective websites: www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp (NAI) and www.aboutads.info/choices (DAA).
- Opt Out Effect. Opting out of one or more NAI member or DAA member networks (many of which will be the same) only means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on our Services or other services. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextual advertising). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit an opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer, or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt- out may no longer be effective.
- Children’s Privacy. Our online, publicly available Services, including public websites, are not targeted to children. Children under the age of 18 are not permitted to use WebPT software or services. We do not knowingly collect information online from children under 18. If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete such information.
- United States Only. Access to our Services is administered in the United States (“US”) and is intended for users in the US. You may not use our Services in any jurisdiction where offering, accessing, or using our Services would be illegal or unlawful. If you are located outside of the US, please note that the information you submit to us will be transferred to the US. If you are located in a country other than the US, you should note that, at present, the laws of the US and certain other countries have not been approved by the European Commission or privacy authorities in certain other countries as providing “adequate protection” for personal information within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation or applicable laws of other countries.
- Policy Changes. This Policy is current as of the Effective Date set forth above. We may change this Policy from time to time, so please be sure to check back periodically. We will post any changes to this Policy on our Site. If we make any changes to this Policy that materially affect our practices with regard to the personal information we have previously collected from you, we will endeavor to provide you with notice in advance of such change by highlighting the change on our Site.
- Contact Us. If you have any further questions or concerns about this Policy or our privacy practices, please send us an email at legal@webpt.com.
- Additional Disclosures for California Residents. The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act) requires businesses to disclose whether they sell or share Personal Data. As a business covered by the CCPA, we do not sell personal data. We may share personal data (in the form of identifiers and internet activity information) with third party advertisers for purposes of targeting advertisements on non-WebPT websites, applications, and services. In addition, we may allow third parties to collect personal data from our Sites or Services if those third parties are authorized service providers who have agreed to our contractual limitations as to their retention, use, and disclosure of such personal data, or if you use the Sites or Services to interact with third parties or direct us to disclose your personal data to third parties.
- Data categories. California law requires that we detail the categories of personal data that we disclose for certain “business purposes”, such as to service providers that assist us with securing our services or marketing our products, and to such other entities as described in Section 3 (“How We Disclose Information”) of this Privacy Policy. We disclose the following categories of personal data for our business purposes:
- Identifiers;
- Commercial information;
- Internet activity information;
- Financial information;
- Professional and employment-related information;
- Education information;
- Geolocation data;
- Audio and visual data;
- In limited circumstances where allowed by law, information that may be protected characteristics under California or United States law; and
- Inferences drawn from any of the above information categories.
- Exercise of Rights.
- California law grants state residents certain rights, including the rights to know and access specific types of personal data, to learn how we process personal data, to request deletion of personal data, to request correction of personal data, to opt-out of sharing your personal data for third party advertising purposes, and not to be denied goods or services for exercising these rights.
- If you are a California resident, you can exercise your rights yourself or you can alternatively designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf. Please note that to protect your personal information, we will verify your identity by a method appropriate to the type of request you are making.
