How does the Welld Service work?

5. THE WELLD SERVICE.

5.1 Introduction.

Welld provides online services that seek to connect fitness tracking information of a user with that user’s fitness club, physician, or employer’s wellness program.

(a) If you are just a visitor to the Welld Website, then the information Welld will collect will focus on your interaction with the Welld Website, such as non-personal browser information, website analytics, and information you may submit to us by email, as described in Section 9.

(b) If you decide to download our Application, you will be asked to provide information and register with Welld, and the information Welld will collect will expand to include your interaction with both the Application with the Welld Service. You can stop here and just enjoy the Application and Welld Website. You are not required to connect or interact with your fitness club, physician, employer’s wellness program, or others.

(c) However, if you choose to connect with others, then information will be shared with your connections as described below (and in the EULA), and you can make full benefit of the Welld Service.

Some of the description of the Welld Service, including definitions, may be repeated within the EULA or on the Welld Service. We want to ensure that you have the opportunity to understand how the Welld Service works, and how your information is handled.

5.2 Registration.

As used in this Privacy Policy, “Welld Service” (or “Service”) means, collectively, the Welld Website, the Application, and all related systems and services provided by Welld. In order to use the Application and the Welld Service to make connections with others, you must register with Welld and create an account (a “Welld Account”). Our registration process (which may change from time to time) currently requires you to complete a signup form, provide your e-mail address, and select a username and password (your “Login Credentials”). We may permit or require you to provide additional information in order to use the Welld Service or certain features of the Welld Service, which may consist of: (i) your name, date of birth, Social Security number (if provided), e-mail address, phone number, mailing address, and/or other identity or contact information (“Identity and Contact Information”); (ii) information about an End User’s physical activities (such as steps taken, distance walked, distance run, vital signs, blood pressure, or pulse) (“Activity Data”); and (iii) your Program Results, your Connected Device Data other than Activity Data, and any information that relates to your past, present, or future health or wellbeing, the provision of health care to you, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to you (“Health Information”).

5.3 Connected Devices.

The Welld Service allows you to connect a variety of third party devices or services (“Activity Trackers”) to your Welld Account, which may then be used to track or measure your activity, such as number of steps taken or other Activity Data. When you connect an Activity Tracker to your Welld Account (each, a “Connected Device”), the information received from the Connected Device (“Connected Device Data”) will be added to or associated with your Welld Account. Welld may use third-party service providers to connect to an Activity Tracker, and the Connected Device Data may come from that third party under the terms of any privacy policy associated with your Activity Tracker.

6. WELLD CONNECTIONS.

6.1 Definitions.

A (i) “Welld Connection” means a connection established between an Account and a Licensed Participant; (ii) “Licensed Participant” means a person or organization that has been licensed by Welld to access and use the Welld Service in connection with End Users with whom a Welld Connection has been established - in other words, a Licensed Participant is a fitness club, physician, employer, or other party that is eligible for connection by users; (iii) “Participating Fitness Club” means a fitness club that has been licensed by Welld to access and use the Welld Service; (iv) “Participating Physician” means a healthcare provider that has been licensed by Welld to access and use the Welld Service; (v) “Participating Employer” means an employer that has been licensed by Welld to access and use the Welld Service; and (vi) “Reported Information” means information about an End User that is provided or reported to Welld by a Licensed Participant (or other third party) or is submitted or entered into the Welld Service by a Licensed Participant.

6.2 Creation of Welld Connections.

Making a Welld connection with any other party is your choice. You may choose to create or accept Welld Connections with Participating Employers, Participating Fitness Clubs, or Participating Physicians (a “Connected Party”, or “Connected Parties”). You may terminate your Welld Connections at any time. When the Welld Connection with a Connected Party is terminated, that Licensed Participant will no longer have access to Shared Account Information stored in the Welld Service (except Identity Verification Information as defined below.)

6.3 Shared Account Information.

Welld will share the following categories of Account Information (“Shared Account Information”) as follows:

(a) Participating Employers:

(i) your Identity and Contact Information, (ii) the status or your enrollment in Wellness Programs, but not the identity of the specific Program, (iii) the Challenges in which you choose to participate and the results of your participation and the Activity Data associate with those Challenges, (iv) aggregated Program Results for all End Users that have established Welld Connections with that Participating Employer, (v) aggregated, deidentified results of any health screenings required by the Participating Employer, and (vi) other Account Information as permitted by the EULA and this Privacy Policy.

Each Connected Party may integrate your Shared Account Information into an information system outside of the Welld Service or otherwise print, download, or copy your Shared Account Information outside of the Welld Service, and Welld can neither control how such Shared Account Information is used or anonymize, de-identify, or delete such Shared Account Information when your Welld Account is closed. How a Connected Party is permitted to use your Shared Account Information is determined by the nature of your relationship with the Connected Party and any separate agreement you may have with that Connected Party. You understand and agree that Welld is not responsible or liable for any misuse of your Shared Account Information by Licensed Participant

6.5 Challenges.

Licensed Participants may, from time to time, promote a competition or challenge for End Users to engage in certain physical activities (such as taking a certain number of steps within a specified period of time) (a “Challenge”). When you choose to participate in a Challenge, your Activity Data that relates to the subject of the Challenge will be shared with the Connected Party sponsoring the Challenge.

7. Programs.

If you enroll in a fitness, health, or exercise program licensed through the Welld Service (“Program”), specific information about your enrollment in the Program and the activities, measurements, outcomes, and results associated with each Program in which you have enrolled (“Program Results”) will be shared with your Welld Connections. Some Programs may require you to complete the Program through a Participating Fitness Club and to establish a Welld Connection with such Participating Fitness Club before enrolling in the Program. Some Programs may only be available through a referral from a Participating Physician, and you may be required to establish a Welld Connection with a Participating Physician before enrolling in the Program. In the event that you close your Welld Account or delete your Welld Connection with the Participating Fitness Club or with the Participating Physician associated with a Program enrollment, that Program enrollment will be cancelled automatically.

What information does Welld collect, and how is it used?

8. DEFINITIONS.

It may be useful to describe some types of information used in this Privacy Policy:

Personal Information” means personally-identifiable information (information relating to an individual that can be used to identify, locate, or contact that individual, alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information), such as: name, home or physical address, e-mail address, phone number, or personal characteristics (such as photos, age or date of birth, race, gender, height, weight, occupation, education, Health Information, Sensitive Information (as defined below)), or any other information about an individual that we collect through the Welld Service or maintain in personally identifiable form.

As described in the Introduction above, the type of information collected and used will depend on how you use the Welld Service. For example, if you just visit the Welld Website and do not submit any Personal Information to Welld, then Section 11 should not apply to you because Welld would not have received your Personal Information. Alternatively, if you register, use the Application, and use the Welld Service to connect with your physician, then Section 11 may apply for any of your Connected Devices.

9.1 Visitor Information.

We may automatically collect information about you when you use the Welld Website, the Application, and the Welld Service, such as the materials you access, the amount of data transferred, the links you click, the amount of time you spend interacting with content, and other information about your interactions with the Welld Website, the Application, and the Welld Service, as well as certain standard information that your browser sends to every website that you visit, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating environment (such as browser type and version, browser plugins installed, operating system version, regional and language settings, screen size and/or resolution, windows size, and page size), access dates and times, and referring websites. We may also collect diagnostic information, including without limitation device hardware and operating system information, device state information, unique device identifiers, information relating to how the Welld Website and the Application function on the device you use to access the Welld Service.

The Welld Service may use cookies (and similar technology such as HTML5 local storage), flash cookies, web beacons, and other technologies for a variety of purposes, such as providing the Welld Service, saving and retrieving information about you, your visit, and assisting in displaying promotions and advertising that are relevant to you. We may use such technologies to share NonPersonal Information with third parties or to retrieve Non-Personal Information from third parties. At this time, the Welld Service does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent to us by your browser.

9.2 Google Analytics.

We may, from time to time, use a tool called “Google Analytics” (including Demographic and Interest Reporting features) to collect information about your use of the Welld Service, which helps us provide content that is relevant to you and optimized for the devices that you use (such as smartphones and tablets). We respect and value your privacy, and we never combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with Personal Information. We use the information we receive from Google Analytics only to improve the Welld Service and our content and marketing. Google’s use and sharing of information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Personal Information (or other information) collected on a third party site. We suggest you read the privacy policy of the third party site before providing any Personal Information on such third party site.

These businesses are required to accept requests for disclosures of these policies from customers but are only required to honor one request per calendar year. Businesses have thirty (30) days to respond to each inquiry to the designated address. Each inquiring customer will receive an explanation of the categories of customer information shared and the names and addresses of any third-party businesses. In limited circumstances, customers' failure to submit requests in the manner specified will not require a response from the business.

If you are a current Welld user in California, you may request such information from Welld by sending an email correspondence noting your name, address, and email address. You must also include a request that Welld provide such information to you using the following or similar verbiage. "I request that Welld provide its third-party information sharing disclosures required by section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code."
