To help you understand how important your privacy and the protection of that privacy is to us, we have two statements that summarize our position on Terms of Use, Privacy, and HIPAA/PHI when engaging the Plan Heal brand via this site:
Statement I: The Plan Heal Privacy Promise- We respect every customer’s privacy and will work diligently to ensure that your privacy is safe. Our digital platform was established with data security as its top priority.
Statement II: The Plan Heal Terms of Use Promise- Our mission is to help you live a safer, healthier, and more productive life. We do this through the development of digital products (like: apps) and through research (like: surveys and focus groups) to help gain a better understanding of your health to empower you to Become Your Own Health Advocate. We’d like to consider ourselves a member of your healthcare team to help you get the most from your healthcare provider; we are not a substitute for working with your healthcare provider.

Right to Opt-Out of Selling. As described in this Privacy Policy, in certain situations we may share your Personal Information with our partners, third parties or affiliates for our marketing or other purposes. To the extent such sharing is considered a “sale” under the CCPA, as a California resident you have the right to opt-out of such sharing.

If you opt-out, we may be unable to offer you some of our Services which require sharing of Personal Information.
