Privacy Policy

Effective March 17, 2021 Version 1.7
Last Updated: March 17th, 2021

As a user (“you” or “your”) of our (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Wellbeats”) services and products, including, but not limited to, the Wellbeats application and our associated website (collectively, the “Service”) we provide you with this Privacy Policy (this “Policy”), which is intended to describe in a straight-forward and easily understandable manner:

  • the information we collect about you;
  • how that information may be used;
  • with whom the information may be shared;
  • how you may update the information you provide us;
  • how you may contact us; and
  • your choices about the information.

At Wellbeats, we encourage you to read this Policy carefully.  If you have questions or concerns regarding this Policy, please feel welcome to contact us by e-mail at privacy@wellbeats.com  If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, you must uninstall and cease usage of the Service.

This Policy is part of our Terms of Service.  If you do not agree to the practices in this Policy and our Terms of Service, do not use our Service.

Information Collected

This Policy primarily concerns Personal Information, which deals with individuals, rather than organizations or businesses. “Personal Information” uniquely identifies an individual or can identify an individual by combining it with other data. It includes financial and account information, as well as email addresses, phone numbers and other information associated with the individual. The legal name and definition of personal information differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Wellbeats will not use or share Personal Information other than as described in this Policy.

We collect Personal Information about you that may include financial and account information such as your name, e-mail address, general usage metrics of the Service, your financial payment information, your fitness profile, email communication history with Wellbeats, and other information associated with you or your organization, as well as other information that may or may not specifically identify you.  The information collected on the Service may be stored at servers, computers, or other media located in the United States.

Third-Party Sources

We may obtain information about you from third-party sources, such as Google,  Apple or your employer, when applicable.  This information may be utilized, analyzed, and/or compared with information that Wellbeats has collected from you or that you have submitted to the Service. If Wellbeats obtains information from third-party sources, you agree that your sole legal remedy for any harm associated with that information is against the third-party that provided the information to us, and that you will not assert any cause of action, claim or demand against us other than requesting we delete any erroneous information.

Information Collection Technology

We may use various technologies, including “cookies” to collect information, pursuant to your use of the Service, from your electronic device about your activities using the Service.  We may collect and store non-personally identifying information through cookies, and third-parties to profile user activity and preferences.  Technical and specification information about your device and settings may be collected when you use the Service.  This information may include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, your browser type, operating system, access time(s), the content of previously accepted “cookies” from us, and the website address that referred you to our Services.

A cookie is data stored on your device that tracks non-personal information about you.  When using our Service, we may assign your device one or more cookies that enable us to improve the quality of our Service and to personalize your experience. Cookies allow us to automatically collect information about your activity on our Service, such as the content you access while using our Service, the links you click, and other activity you conduct while using our Service.  You may choose to modify your device setting to disable cookies or limit their use.  If you choose to disable or limit cookies, or otherwise limit your device permissions to the Service, you may experience diminished performance from the Service and/or may be prevented from using some or all features of the Service. Our cookies generally fall into one of four categories:  Essential, Functional, Analytics and Target.

Our Service may contain web beacons (also known as “clear gifs”) or similar technologies that gather non-personally identifiable information about your use of our Service.  Such technology may also be contained in e-mail messages or newsletters from us that allow us to determine whether messages have been accessed.  The purpose of our use of this technology is so that we may analyze the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and the quality of our Services.

Personal Information About Users Under 18 Years of Age Not Collected

The Service is meant for adults and those who have reached the age of majority as defined by the laws of their domicile. The Service is not meant for individuals under the age of eighteen (18) or those defined by the laws of their domicile as minors.  Nonetheless, this Policy is still designed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) to the extent COPPA applies to Wellbeats.  Accordingly, Wellbeats does not knowingly collect or retain any personal information about users under the age of 13. If information from someone under the age of 13 is found to exist, that information will be promptly deleted from our database and all other media.  Since we do not knowingly collect information from users who are under 13 years old, no such information is disclosed to third-parties.

Permissions

The following section only applies if you use one of our mobile software applications. The Software requires certain permissions on your mobile device in order to work as intended. You can either allow or deny the Software access to the permissions. In some cases it is necessary for you to grant the Software permissions to take full advantage of features or functionality of the Software. If you disallow some or all permissions, the Software may not function properly. Some of the permissions needed may include access to your device’s: camera; calendar; location; phone; sensor; SMS; and storage.  Additional permissions may be requested as new features are added in the future.

Information Use and Sharing

We may use and share your information for any legally permissible purpose. We may match, use, and share any of the information we collect from you to any personally identifiable information we obtain through third-parties.  Examples of some ways we may use or share information that we collect about you include:

  • providing you with products or services, whether from Wellbeats, or any affiliates or sponsors;
  • providing you with customized content and services;

  • performing functions as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.

In order to perform certain services on your behalf, we may publish certain information that you provide.  You agree that any testimonial feedback or other comments provided by you to Wellbeats becomes its sole and exclusive property and that such information may be used for any legally permissible purpose, including, but not limited to marketing and advertising our Service.

If you are using our Service through a third party or employer that contracts with us to provide Service to you, we may also share your information with that third party or employer.

Accept as otherwise provided in this Policy, we will not sell, rent, license or trade your Personal Information to third party.

Unless otherwise provided in this Policy, we shall not disclose Personal Information you submit to us except (i) with affiliates, licensees, subsidiaries and successors, (ii) when we have your permission, or (iii) as necessary to:

  • To comply with our legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service, this Policy or otherwise to protect the rights, property or safety of our users and business partners.

In addition, we may share aggregate and sell, non-individual information, incapable of identifying a particular person, with third parties for any lawful purposes.

Legal Process and Investigation Issues

From time to time, Wellbeats may be required to respond to a subpoena or similar investigative demand from law enforcement, a court order, a government agency, or a private litigant. Wellbeats reserves all rights to defend, within its sole discretion, against such legal requests, demands, and claims.  For instance, Wellbeats may raise or waive legal objections or rights. Wellbeats also reserves the right to disclose your information, as allowed by applicable law, when we believe it is reasonably appropriate based on the situation.  Such disclosure may occur, but is not limited to, disclosing your information in connection with efforts to:  investigate, prevent, or commence other actions regarding suspected illegal activity or other wrongdoing; to protect; defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others; comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements or policies.

Third Party Privacy Policies May Be Applicable

This Policy does not cover any third party’s use or handling of your information once it is shared.  Instead, the privacy policy of the third-party will govern. We encourage you to visit the websites of those third-parties and fully read and understand their privacy policies.  Some of these entities will have different privacy terms than we do and their servers may be located outside the United States.

California Privacy Rights

We will not share any personal information about you with other companies if prohibited by applicable California law or to the extent your prior consent to share is required by applicable California law.

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights with respect to your Personal Information including the following rights:

  • the right, with some exceptions, to have your personal information deleted from Wellbeats’s possession or control; and

Information Retention and Security

We may store your information from the time of initial submission, as well as automated personal information about you.  However, if we obtain or collect your social security number, that information will be encrypted and securely stored.

We take reasonable security measures to protect users’ information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or destruction.  These measures include encryption, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, anti-malware endpoint protection and industry standard data center security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal information, and the usage of reputable third-party vendors.   Despite these reasonable measures, we cannot guarantee our security measures are impenetrable.  Therefore, although we take reasonable steps to secure your information, we cannot and do not promise or warrant that your information will always remain secure.

Visitors Outside the United States

This Policy is intended to cover collection of information on our Service from residents of the United States. The laws in other countries may or may not be as comprehensive as those in the United States.  If you are a resident of another country and/or are using our Service from outside the United States, you acknowledge and agree that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated.
