  • Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G), and general location information such as city, state, or geographic area.

  • Location data when you authorize the Service to access your device’s location.

Cookies and similar technologies: Some of the automatic collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies:

  • Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first-party” cookies that we place, and “third-party” cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place.
  • Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
  • Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.
  • Session Replay Technologies. We may use third-party services provided by Microsoft Clarity that employ software code to record users’ interactions with the Services in a manner that allows us to watch DVR-like replays of those user sessions. The replays include users’ clicks, mouse movements, scrolls, and keystrokes during those sessions. These replays help us diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement. You can learn more about Microsoft Clarity at https://clarity.microsoft.com/ and https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement, and you can opt-out of session recording by Microsoft Clarity by following the instructions found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/faq.

Data about others: We may offer features that help Users invite their friends or contacts to use the Service, and we may collect contact details about these invitees so we can deliver their invitations. Please do not refer someone to us or share their contact details with us unless you have their permission to do so.

Protected Health Information

In using certain components of our Service, you may provide certain Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”) and state law.

In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable law.
