Dear User,
Welcome to an area most online vendors hope you never visit. We’re glad you came. We’re super glad that privacy is important to you because it’s important to us, too. We’re going to do our best here to be clear & understandable, but as you know this is where law dictates a lot of what we can say. So if you’d like to ask us anything, please don’t be shy. Email us at privacy@folxhealth.com
The Basics:
FOLX Health, Inc. (our pronouns are "we," or "us" or “FOLX Health”) owns and operates the websites located at www.Folxhealth.com (the "Website") and may now or in the future own and/or operate a FOLX Health web application and mobile application (collectively, the "Platform"). As described in the FOLX Health Terms of Service ("Terms of Service") located at https://www.folxhealth.com/legal/tos, the FOLX Health’s affiliated clinical practices (“Affiliated Practices”) provide clinical services through the Platform. Your access and use of the Website or Platform, including its content ("Content"), any products or services provided through the Website or Platform or otherwise by FOLX Health, and any affiliated website, software or application owned or operated by FOLX Health (collectively, including the Website, Platform and the Content, the "Service") are subject to this Privacy Policy unless specifically stated otherwise. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning as set forth in the Terms of Service. Translated: If it says FOLX Health on it, it’s ours and you’re agreeing to everything in this document.
The Obvious:
We are deeply committed to respecting the privacy of users of the Service. We created this Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") to tell you how FOLX Health collects, uses and discloses information in order to provide you with the Service. Our goal with this Privacy Policy is to be transparent so that you can make a fully-informed choice in regards to how your data is used or disclosed by FOLX Health.
How does this Work?: If you use our Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. As with our Terms of Service, by creating, registering, or logging into an account through the Service, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you are automatically accepting and acknowledging the most recent version of this Privacy Policy, provided however, that FOLX Health will notify you and/or require you to accept the updated Privacy Policy if the supplemented, amended or otherwise modified Privacy Policy implements material changes from FOLX Health's then-current Privacy Policy. If we make any changes to our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the "Last updated" date of the Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to carefully review this Privacy Policy each time you visit, access or use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an individual other than yourself, you represent that you are authorized by such individual to act on such individual's behalf and that such individual acknowledges the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.
This is an Adults Only Situation (for now): Our Service is intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or such older age as may be required by applicable state laws in the jurisdiction in which an individual utilizes the Service. It’s not that we don’t love young people. It’s just that the law requires a lot of additional capabilities to appropriately serve folks under 18 and we’re not there yet.
The Service is not designed or intended to attract, and is not directed to, children under eighteen (18) years of age, let alone thirteen (13) years of age. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have inadvertently collected personal information through the Platform from a person under thirteen (13) years of age, we will use reasonable efforts to refrain from further using such personal information or maintaining it in retrievable form.
Protected and Consumer Health Information
Please see the Affiliated Practices’ Notice of Privacy Practices (“NPP”) accessible here to understand how we protect, use and disclose your protected health information (“PHI”). PHI is governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and its subsequent amendments and regulations and applicable state law. “PHI” is defined under HIPAA to include individually identifiable health information about your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to you or the past, present, or future payment for such care. PHI may include, but is not limited to diagnoses, treatment plans (including prescription details) and notes, relating to such. We may also receive information from third parties that pay for your care or provide you with treatment, laboratory care or prescription medication, which may include, for example, your prescription history, insurance policy, insurance eligibility and coverage, and laboratory test results. It is important to note, however, that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to any or all of your transactions or communications with us. For any PHI that we do collect, our NPP, and not this Privacy Policy, will apply.
If you are a resident of Washington or Nevada, our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy applies to information that is “Consumer Health Data” under the laws of those states, as further detailed in that policy. Information that constitutes PHI does not constitute Consumer Health Data.
If you have questions about which policy applies to the information you have submitted, please do not hesitate to contact using the contact information listed below.

You may be required to create an account with them. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policy posted on that vendor's website since this Policy does not govern your use of that website. If you send us your job application materials directly, we will only use and share those job application materials to evaluate your qualifications to work with FOLX Health.
How Information Is Collected
FOLX Health might collect personal and non-personal information directly from you when you visit, access or use the Service; when you register with or subscribe to the Service or any products or services available through the Service; when you "sign in," "log in," or the like to the Service; when you allow the Service to access, upload, download, import or export content found on or through, or to otherwise interact with, your computer or mobile device (or any other device you may use to visit, access or use the Service) or online accounts with third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications (e.g., your online social media accounts, your cloud drives and servers, your mobile device service provider); or whenever FOLX Health asks you for such information, such as, for example, when you process a payment through the Service, or when you answer an online survey or questionnaire. In addition, if you or a third party sends FOLX Health a comment, message or other communication (such as, by way of example only, email, letter, fax, phone call, or voice message) about you or your activities on or through the Website and/or the Platform, then FOLX Health may collect any personal or non-personal information provided therein or therewith.

FOLX and such other parties may collect data about how you interact with such content. For example, YouTube may collect usage data on videos embedded on the Website. Even if you do not watch videos, YouTube may still collect certain information about your interactions with our Website if you are signed into your YouTube account or Google account when accessing our Website. YouTube, LLC is owned by Google. Please see Google's Privacy Policy for more information.
Finally, FOLX Health might use various tracking, data aggregation and/or data analysis technologies through the use of scripts, cookies, pixels, web beacons, and other technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”).

Most browsers automatically accept Tracking Technologies. Please be advised that if you choose to block, reject, disable, delete or change the management settings in your browser for any or all Tracking Technologies then certain areas of the Service might not function properly. You cannot disable all Tracking Technologies, such as cookies that are essential to the functioning of the Service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, FOLX Health does not disclose your information with third parties to engage in targeted or online behavioral advertising or otherwise permit third parties or third-party Tracking Technologies to access PHI except as authorized under law and the Notice of Privacy Practices.

Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not address or apply to, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including, without limitation, the manufacturer of your mobile device, and any other third-party mobile application or website to which our Service may contain a link, including interactive links to social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, or video hosting websites.

Generally, Privacy Officers are lonely. So don’t be shy.
