Last updated: May 1, 2023

Introduction

Curated Wellness and its affiliates and subsidiaries ("Curated Wellness" "we," or "us") owns and operates websites (the "Websites") located at www.curatedwellness.com and may have previously, now or in the future own and/or operate a related mobile application (collectively, the " Platform"). Your access and use of the Platform, any part thereof, or anything associated therewith, including its content ("Content"), any products or services provided through the Platform or otherwise by Curated Wellness, and any affiliated website, software or application owned or operated by Curated Wellness (collectively, including the 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 Curated Wellness Terms and Conditions ("Terms and Conditions").

We are committed to respecting the privacy of users of the Service. We created this Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") to tell you how Curated Wellness collects, uses and discloses information in order to provide you with the Service.

As with our Terms and Conditions, 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. 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.

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.

Limitations on Use by Minors

Our Service is generally intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age. The Service is not designed or intended to attract, and is not directed to, children under thirteen (13) years of age. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have 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.  Furthermore, if you are under sixteen (16) years of age, then you (or your parent or legal guardian if you are under age 13) may at any time request that we remove content or information about you that is posted on the Platform. Please note that we are not required to erase or otherwise eliminate, or enable erasure or elimination of such content or information in certain circumstances, such as, for example, when an international, federal, state, or local law, rule or regulation requires Curated Wellness to maintain the content or information; when the content or information is stored on or posted to the Site by a third party other than you (including any content or information posted by you that was stored, republished or reposted by the third party); when Curated Wellness anonymizes the content or information, so that you cannot be individually identified; when you do not follow the aforementioned instructions for requesting the removal of the content or information; and when you have received compensation or other consideration for providing the content or information.

The foregoing is a description of Curated Wellness' voluntary practices concerning the collection of personal information through the Service from certain minors, and is not intended to be an admission that Curated Wellness is subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule(s), or any similar international, federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations.

Protected Health Information

When you set up an account with Curated Wellness, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Curated Wellness that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform and the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to Curated Wellness, including but not limited to, your name, email address, shipping address, phone number and certain transactional information, that we do not consider to be "protected health information" or "medical information".

However, in using certain components of the Service, you may also provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. Curated Wellness is not a "covered entity" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, " HIPAA"). It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Curated Wellness. To the extent Curated Wellness is deemed a "business associate" however, and solely in its role as a business associate, Curated Wellness, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to "protected health information," as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Curated Wellness. In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, "Protected Information"), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws.

By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are agreeing that even if HIPAA does apply to Curated Wellness any information that you submit to Curated Wellness is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. For purposes of clarity, information you provide to Curated Wellness in order to register and set up an account on the Platform, including name, username, email address, shipping address and phone number, are not considered Protected Information.

We may also receive information about you from our partners. For example, as part of our identity verification process, our vendor may send us information they have independently collected, such as your name, age, and estimated location. Our marketing partners may also send us information about you, even if you have not visited or registered on our site.

Curated Wellness does not collect or create biometric information about you. To use some of our services, however, we may be required to verify your identity. If you are asked to submit proof of identity (such as a driver’s license or passport) we may share that and the selfie you shared with us with our identity verification partner, who may create biometric information about your face in order to verify that your selfie matches your proof of identity. Biometric information is not shared with Curated Wellness and is deleted by our identity verification partner after completing the identity verification. Curated Wellness may receive information extracted from your photos, such as information from your driver’s license and the confidence that there is a “match” between your two photos. We use this information to help verify your identity.

How Information Is Collected

Curated Wellness 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 Curated Wellness 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 Curated Wellness 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 Site and/or the App, then Curated Wellness may collect any personal or non-personal information provided therein or therewith.

We also may receive personal information about you from our service providers who assist us with identity verification in connection with our Services, which may include information parsed from your driver’s license or passport, your estimated location, your address and how long you have lived there, and your contact information.

Finally, Curated Wellness might use various tracking, data aggregation and/or data analysis technologies, including, for example, the following:

• Cookies, which are small data files (e.g., text files) stored on the browser or device you use to view a website or message. They may help store user preferences and activity and may allow a website to recognize a particular browser or device. There are several types of cookies, including, for example, browser cookies, session cookies, and persistent cookies. Cookies may record information you access on one page of a website to simplify subsequent interaction with that website, or to help streamline your transactions on related pages of that website. Most major browsers are set up so that they will initially accept cookies, but you might be able to adjust your browser's or device's preferences to issue you an alert when a cookie is downloaded, or to block, reject, disable, delete or manage the use of some or all cookies on your browser or device. Cookies can be set by the website owner (i.e., us), or they can be set by third parties (e.g., Facebook, Google, etc.) Cookies are used to help us speed up your future activities or to improve your experience by remembering the information that you have already provided to us. Third party cookies may also be used to enable analytics (e.g. Google Analytics) or advertising functionality (e.g., ad re-targeting on third-party websites) that enables more customized services and advertising by tracking your interaction with our Service and collecting information about how you use the Service.

• Flash cookies, which are cookies written using Adobe Flash, and which may be permanently stored on your device. Like regular cookies, Flash cookies may help store user preferences and activity, and may allow a website to recognize a particular browser or device. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings that are used for regular cookies.

• Web beacons, which are pieces of code embedded in a website or email to monitor your activity on the website or your opening of the email, and which can pass along information such as the IP address of the computer or device you use to view the website or open the email, the URL page on which the web beacon is located, the type of browser that was used to access the website, and previously set cookie values. Web beacons are sometimes used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. Disabling your computers, device's or browser’s cookies may prevent some web beacons from tracking or recording certain information about your activities.

• Scripts, which are pieces of code embedded in a website to define how the website behaves in response to certain key or click requests sent by the user. Scripts are sometimes used to collect information about the user's interactions with the website, such as the links the user clicks on. Scripts are oftentimes temporarily downloaded to the user's computer or device from the website server, active only while the user is connected to the Site and/or any App, and deactivated or deleted when the user disconnects from the website.

• Analytic tools and services, which are sometimes offered by third parties, and which track, measure and/or generate information about a website's or program's traffic, sales, audience and similar information, and which may be used for various reasons, such as, for example, statistical research, marketing research, and content ratings research, and conversion tracking. Examples of the analytic tools and services which Curated Wellness might use include Google Analytics and Taplytics. Curated Wellness may also use other third-party analytic tools and services.

Please be advised that if you choose to block, reject, disable, delete or change the management settings for any or all of the aforementioned technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies, then certain areas of the Platform might not function properly.

By visiting, accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge and agree in each instance that you are giving Curated Wellness permission to monitor or otherwise track your activities on the Service, and that Curated Wellness may use the aforementioned technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies.
