PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OUR SERVICES, OUR WEBSITE, OR OUR MOBILE APPLICATION.

1. Introduction

This privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") describes the types of information Therapy Layer Corporation. ("Therapy Layer", "we", "our", or "us") may collect from you or that you may provide when you use the Therapy Layer website or Relay application (the "Platform"), whether accessed via SMS, mobile application, or website. This Privacy Policy also describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any website or application operated by third parties. Use of the Platform is governed by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service (for users of the Therapy Layer website: https://www.therapylayer.com/privacy, for organizations using the Therapy Layer Relay application: https://www.therapylayer.com/terms-organizations, and for clients using the Therapy Layer Relay application: https://www.therapylayer.com/terms-clients). This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service. All capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms of Service. By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by and comply with this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. If any term in this Privacy Policy is unacceptable to you, please do not use the Platform or provide any Personal Information (defined below). This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see Revisions to Our Privacy Policy below) and your use of the Platform after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by us offline or through any other means, or by any third party, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from or on the Platform. Also, you may be subject to different privacy policies or terms of service for other websites or applications.

Therapy Layer is committed to protecting your privacy. We provide this Privacy Policy to explain the type of information we collect and to inform you of the specific practices and guidelines that protect the security and confidentiality of Personal Information, including protected health information ("PHI") that individually identifies you or others and that is subject to the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended.

2. Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

Information About You and Your Health Care Treatment and Payment

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Platform, including both health care providers and their clients, as applicable, such as:

Information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, email address, telephone number and account information, or any other information collected on the Platform that is defined as personally identifiable information under applicable law ("Personal Information"). This is information that you provide directly to us or that is provided to us by a related third party, such as your doctor, therapist, or coach.
Clinical or client information or data, including PHI or other health-related information. This includes information collected in connection with your use of the Platform that may be necessary for you to receive health care services, including applicable clinical history and condition, clinical and health information, and any other information from communications between you and Therapy Layer or healthcare providers and their professional entities. For the avoidance of doubt, all such health-related information collected on the Therapy Layer Relay application is subject to the safeguards and protections of our Terms of Service, including those for privacy and security.
Information about your Internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Platform, and usage details.
Information about you that does not identify you individually, such as whether you are a current user, location or demographics, or information related to your inquiry or request.
Other information that you volunteer or that you provide in response to a specific request from us.

We collect this information:

Directly from you when you provide it to us.
From third-party intermediaries; for example, the doctors, therapists, and coaches with whom we partner to provide their clients with services.

Information You Give to Us

The information we collect on or through our Platform may include:

Information that we collect when you use our website or download our mobile application. Even without creating an account, we still collect from you some of the information described in the "Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It" section.
Information that you provide on our Platform, including information provided when you sign in or register for an account for the Platform or for services provided by one of our affiliates or through communications with you through the Platform or as a result of any health care services.
Information to process or respond to your inquiries related to requests for treatment, payment, or customer service; and when you provide feedback on our Platform, including payment processing information that includes billing information, such as a name, email address, and payment card information. When you provide or update your payment processing information, we transmit the payment via an encrypted connection to a third-party credit card processor.
Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses) if you contact us, such as when you report a problem with our Platform or other services.
Your search queries on the Platform.

Information We Collect About You

As with many other websites and applications, as you navigate through and interact with our Platform, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

Details of your visits to our Platform, including traffic data, location data, logs, language, date and time of access, frequency, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Platform.
Information about your computer and Internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, host domain, and browser type.
Details of referring websites (e.g., URLs) or other referring sources.

The information we collect automatically includes statistical data and may also include Personal Information. We may also maintain it or associate it with Personal Information you provide to us or that we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Platform and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:

Estimate how individuals access and use our Platform.
Store information about your preferences.
Speed up your searches.
Recognize you when you return to our Platform.

As with many other websites and applications, our Platform may use "cookies" or other technologies to help us deliver content specific to your interests, to process your requests, and/or to analyze your visiting patterns. We may collect information about your visit, including: the domain from which you access the Internet; IP address; operating system and information about the device or browser used when visiting the Platform; date and time of your visit; content you visited; general location; and website (such as google.com or bing.com) and website referral source (email notice or social media site) that connected you to the Platform. Our Platform uses two types of cookies: single-session (temporary) and multi-session (persistent). Temporary cookies last only as long as your web browser is open and are used for technical purposes, such as enabling better navigation through our Platform. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods and are used for purposes including tracking the number of unique visitors to our Platform and information such as the number of views a page gets, how much time a user spends on a page, and other pertinent web statistics. Cookies, by themselves, will not be used by Therapy Layer to disclose your individual identity. This information identifies your browser, but not you, to our servers when you use the Platform. We may also collect data by using "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," or similar means (collectively, "pixel tags") that allow us to know when you visit our Platform. Through pixel tags, we collect non-Personal Information or aggregate information that can be used to enhance your online experience and help us to understand traffic patterns.

Information We Receive From Other Sources

This is information we receive about you if you use any of the other websites we operate or other services we provide. We sometimes work with third parties, and they sometimes provide information about you. We obtain information from such third parties with whom we work to provide you with certain services (including, for example, sub-contractors, analytics providers, and search information providers, or third parties who share your information to provide your health care services, such as a medical provider including your information when they message or communicate with other medical providers or Therapy Layer).

In addition, we may use third-party providers to serve or track interactions on other websites. You may link to or access our Platform using other third-party websites. Use of such third-party websites is subject to the terms of service and privacy policies of those third parties. Therapy Layer does not control the use of this technology or the resulting information and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

We may combine information we receive from other sources with information you give to us and information we collect about you. Depending on the types of information received, we will use the information received from other sources or the combined information for the purposes described in the "How We Use Your Information" section.

5. Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with control over your information:

Tracking Technologies and Advertising

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Platform may then be inaccessible or may not function properly.

Do Not Track

We do not currently respond to "do not track" signals as we do not track our users across third-party websites.

Promotional Offers from Therapy Layer, its affiliates, or third-party partners

If you do not wish to have your contact information used by Therapy Layer to promote our own products or Services, you can unsubscribe by following the instructions at the bottom of any email you have received from us. If you are not able to unsubscribe through this method, please contact us and we can handle your request. You can also always exercise your right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing purposes by contacting us at the address below.

6. Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to reasonably secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Platform, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Platform.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to or from our Platform; any transmission is at your own risk.

When you use our Platform, there is a risk that any PHI will be stored unencrypted on your mobile device. We have implemented a variety of technical safeguards to make sure that PHI does not leak onto your mobile device, but we cannot guarantee that these safeguards will work as intended.

7. Third-Party Platforms

Our Platform may contain links or references to other websites outside of our control. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to these websites. Therapy Layer encourages you to read the privacy statements and terms and conditions of linked or referenced websites you enter. These third-party websites may send their own cookies and other tracking devices to you, log your IP address, and otherwise collect data or solicit Personal Information.

THERAPY LAYER DOES NOT CONTROL AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THIRD PARTIES DO IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR WEBSITES, OR HOW THEY HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION AND CONSULT THE PRIVACY POLICIES POSTED ON EACH THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

8. Children Under the Age of 13

We will not intentionally collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 13 through our Platform without receiving parental or other legal guardian consent. If you think that we have collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13 through our Platform, please contact us.

9. Revisions to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page. The date this Privacy Policy was last modified is identified at the top of the page. If we determine our changes to this Privacy Policy are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you via email of such changes. If you are using the Platform as part of or on behalf of an organization, we may, in our sole discretion, choose to provide this notice only to the email address that your organization has specified as being that of its administrator. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date, active, and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically monitoring and reviewing any updates to the Privacy Policy.
