Article I: Terms of Use
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE
These Terms of Use are a legal agreement (these “Terms”) between you and Summit Health
Management, LLC (referred to herein as “SHM”, “our”, or “we”), and govern your access to and
use of the services available on the mobile application offered under the name Summit Health +
CityMD (the “App”). Please read these Terms carefully before using the App. We may revise
these Terms at any time and without notice. Your continued use of the App will constitute your
acceptance of these changes and the current version of these Terms. These Terms will govern
any App upgrades that replace or supplement the original App, unless you are notified of
supplemental and/or differing terms of use in connection with such upgrade, in which case the
supplemental and/or differing terms of use shall govern.
Note that Section K of these Terms contains important provisions that limit the remedies
available to you in the event of certain disputes, including provisions that require you to bring
claims on an individual basis and not as part of a class or representative action or proceeding.
A. Account Enrollment
To access the App, you must first establish an individual user account (“Account”) by providing
certain information. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information on
the Account enrollment form. By creating an Account, you hereby represent and warrant that: (1)
you are an individual of at least eighteen (18) years of age; (2) you have the legal power and
authority to agree to, and be bound by, these Terms; and (3) if you are accepting these Terms for
another person (a “Third Party”) as such Third Party’s parent, or legally appointed representative
(e.g., conservator, power of attorney), you agree to these Terms on behalf of such Third Party.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account, including your
username and password, and you are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account.
You agree to immediately notify SHM of any unauthorized use of your Account.
B. Privacy
SHM respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information that you
share with us. Please refer to our Privacy Policy set forth in Article III below to learn more about
how SHM collects and uses your personal information through the App.
C. Use of the App
The App is offered as a convenience to users, and provides users with access to services such as
scheduling, care coordination, direct messaging, certain video-based telehealth services, and
payment processing. The App facilitates access to these services; no doctor/patient relationship is
established with SHM by your use of the App, and no diagnosis or treatment is being provided
by SHM through the App. Any medical services accessed by you through the App are provided
by affiliated medical service providers pursuant to the Terms of Services set forth in Article II
below, and not SHM. We may add or remove features of the App in our sole discretion.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, SHM hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive,
non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, limited, revocable license to access and use the App solely
for personal, non-commercial purposes (the “License”). If you are registering on behalf of a
Third Party, such Third Party may access and use the App for personal, non-commercial
purposes only.
With respect to your use of the App, you agree to the following:
i) You will use the App in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations;
ii) You will not copy, decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the
source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the App, any updates thereto, or
any part thereof (except as and only to the extent that any foregoing restriction is
prohibited by applicable law);
iii) You will not use any robot, spider, or other device to download, index, or “data mine”
the App;
iv) You will not use the App to collect and/or use other user information;
v) You will not attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the App, or any of
SHM’s or its affiliated medical services providers’ systems, network infrastructure, or
servers;
vi) You will not try to interfere in any way with the App, its networks, or its security, or
try to use the App to gain unauthorized access to any other computer system, or other
user’s account;
vii) You will not provide any false, or misleading information about yourself when using
the App.
If you choose to provide us with any comments, suggestions, or feedback (“Feedback”), you
agree that we have the right to use the Feedback without restriction, and you are not entitled to
any compensation for the Feedback.
D. Payment Authorization
By inputting credit card or other payment information into the App (“Payment Method”), you are
expressly agreeing that SHM, or its designee, is authorized to charge to the Payment Method any
fees for which you utilize the App to pay. You agree that such authorization to charge your
Payment Method remains in effect until you cancel it in writing, and you agree to notify SHM of
any changes to your Payment Method. You certify that you are an authorized user of the
Payment Method, and that you will not dispute charges that correspond to fees for which you
utilize the App to pay. You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to your
Account must comply with applicable provisions of U.S. law.
E. Service Use Termination
The License is effective until terminated by you or SHM. You may terminate the License by not
using the App anymore. SHM may terminate the License without notice to you if you fail to
comply with these Terms, or for any other reason, and accordingly deny you access to the App.
Even after termination of the License, these Terms will remain in effect such that all provisions
of these Terms that are intended to survive termination of the License shall so survive.
F. Links to Third Party Applications and Websites
The App may allow you to connect your Account to other applications owned or operated by
third-parties or may link to other websites that are owned or operated by third parties. SHM is
not responsible, and disclaims all liability, for the privacy, security, performance, and service
practices of any such third-party applications and websites.
Video-based telehealth services accessed via the App are provided through an application owned
by American Well Corporation, and licensed to SHM (the “Telehealth Application”). The
Telehealth Services Terms of Use as stated in Article IV below (the “Telehealth Terms of Use”)
govern your use of the Telehealth Application. Please read the Telehealth Terms of Use carefully
before using the Telehealth Application. To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms,
and the Telehealth Terms of Use, the Telehealth Terms of Use shall govern with respect to your
use of the Telehealth Application.
G. Intellectual Property
SHM retains all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the
App, including all product names, company names, trade names, logos, service marks, and
tradedress contained therein. You acknowledge and agree that neither you nor a Third Party
acquire any right, title, or interest in or to the App or any component thereof except for the
License expressly granted to you herein. You may not publish, reproduce, distribute, display,
perform, edit, adapt, modify, or otherwise exploit any part of the App without our written
consent.
H. Disclaimers
YOUR USE OF THE APP IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT
PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, AND SHM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND/OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD BE USED IN CONSULTATION
WITH A PHYSICIAN OF YOUR CHOICE.
SOME STATES MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO
THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. BUT, TO THE EXTENT NOT
PROHIBITED BY LAW, SHM EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES.
I. Limitation of Liability
YOU AGREE THAT YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THE
APP. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SHM, ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES, AND/OR ITS OR
THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS, MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, RESPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESORS, AND ASSIGNS (THE
“SHM PARTIES”), BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM
YOUR USE OF THE APP, AND/OR FROM ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, SERVICES,
OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL INCLUDED IN OR MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE SHM PARTIES BY LIABLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNATIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE RELATING TO LOSS OF DATA,
GOODWILL, PROFITS, SALES, OR USE, WHETHER OR NOT THE SHM PARTIES HAVE

THEORY, IN TORT, IN CONTRACT, AT EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF,
IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO, YOUR USE OF THE APP AND/OR FROM
ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL INCLUDED
IN OR MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE APP.
BECAUSE SOME JURISIDCTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SHM’S LIABILITY IN SUCH
JURISDICTIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED
BY LAW.
YOU AGREE THAT YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR
CONNECTED WITH THE APP WILL BE FOR YOU TO CEASE USING THE APP.
J. Indemnification
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE
TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE SHM PARTIES FROM ALL
COMPLAINTS, CHARGES, CLAIMS, LOSSES, EXPENSES, DAMAGES, COSTS,
LIABILITIES, EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING
OUT OF, OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE APP;
AND/OR (B) ANY BREACH BY YOU OF THESE TERMS. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO
ASSUME THE EXCLUSIVE DEFENSE OF ANY CLAIM FOR WHICH WE ARE
ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS SECTION. IN SUCH EVENT, YOU
WILL PROVIDE US WITH SUCH COOPERATION AS WE REASONABLY REQUEST.
K. Waiver of Right to Pursue Class Action Claims
You agree to only resolve disputes, claims, and/or controversies arising out of or related to these
Terms, and/or your access to or use of the App (individually and collectively referred to herein
as “Disputes”) with SHM on an individual basis, and, to the maximum extent not prohibited by
applicable law, you waive any right to pursue any Disputes on a class or consolidated basis or in
a representative capacity. You agree that you may bring Disputes against SHM only on an
individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, multi-party action,
or representative action or proceeding.
L. Miscellaneous
These Terms, and all Disputes, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. You irrevocably agree
to submit, on an individual basis, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state or federal
courts located in or serving New Jersey. You agree to waive any jurisdictional, venue or
inconvenient forum objections to such court.
These Terms make up the entire agreement relating to your use of the App, and supersede all
prior agreements relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event any provision of these Terms
is held unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions
and will be replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying
the unenforceable provision. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or
agency relationship exists between you and SHM as a result of these Terms or your access to and
use of the App.
Our failure to enforce any provisions of these Terms or respond to a violation by any party does
not waive our rights to subsequently enforce any terms or conditions of the Terms or respond to
any violations.

These Telehealth Services Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the application owned by

DO NOT USE THE SERVICES FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS. IF YOU

Operator does not provide any physicians' or other healthcare providers' (collectively,
"Providers") services itself. All of the Providers are independent of Operator and merely using
the Services to communicate with you. Any information or advice received from a Provider
comes from the Provider, and not from Operator. Your interactions with the Providers via the
Services are not intended to take the place of your relationship(s) with your regular health care
practitioner(s).
NEITHER OPERATOR NOR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS OR ANY THIRD
PARTIES WHO PROMOTE THE SERVICES OR PROVIDE YOU WITH A LINK TO THE
SERVICES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PROFESSIONAL ADVICE YOU OBTAIN

entered as your current location on the Services. You acknowledge that your ability to access and
use the Services is conditioned upon the truthfulness of this certification and that the Providers
you access through the Services are relying upon this certification in order to interact with you.
IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR CERTIFICATION IS INACCURATE, YOU AGREE TO
INDEMNIFY OPERATOR AND THE PROVIDERS YOU INTERACT WITH FROM ANY
RESULTING DAMAGES, COSTS, OR CLAIMS.
Providers may not utilize the Services to provide fee for service consultations to Medicare or
Medicaid beneficiaries. In select circumstances, Providers may utilize the Services to provide
consultations to participants in a Medicare Advantage or Managed Medicaid plan. If you provide
false or deceptive information regarding your Medicare or Medicaid enrollment status, Operator
reserves the right to terminate all current or future use of the Services by you.
C. Account Enrollment.
To access Providers using the Services, you must first establish an individual user account
("Account") by providing certain information. You agree that you will not create more than one
Account, or create an Account for anyone other than yourself (with the exception of subaccounts
established for minor children of whom you are a parent or legal guardian). You agree to provide
true, accurate, current, and complete information on the Account enrollment form and to keep
this information current and updated as needed.
You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and possess the legal right and
ability, on behalf of yourself or a minor child of whom you are a parent or legal guardian, to
agree to these Terms of Use.
D. Prohibited Conduct.
You may not access or use, or attempt to access or use, the Services to take any action that could
harm us or any third party, interfere with the operation of the Services, or use the Services in a
manner that violates any laws. For example, and without limitation, you may not:
• transmit any message or information under a false name or otherwise misrepresent your
affiliation or the origin of materials you transmit;
• provide information on the enrollment form that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or
incomplete;
• transmit any message or information that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene,
fraudulent, predatory of minors, harassing, threatening, or hateful;
• transmit any message or information that infringes or violates the intellectual property, privacy,
or publicity rights of others;
• reproduce, retransmit, distribute, disseminate, sell, publish, broadcast, or circulate content
received through the Services to anyone without prior express permission;
• engage in unauthorized spidering, "scraping," or harvesting of content or personal information,
or use any other unauthorized automated means to compile information;
• take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our network or
infrastructure;
• use any device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working
of the Services or any activity conducted on the Services or attempt to probe, scan, test the
vulnerability of, or breach the security of any system or network;
• attempt to modify, translate, decipher, decompile, disassemble, reverse-engineer, or create
derivative works of any of the software comprising or in any way making up a part of the
Services; or
• engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits any person from using or enjoying the
Services, or that, in our sole judgment, exposes us or any of our users, affiliates, or any other
third party to any liability, damages, or detriment of any type.
Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. We may
investigate and work with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the Terms.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services for any or no reason at any time
without notice.
E. Payment Authorization.
By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by Operator ("Payment Method"),
you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge to the Payment Method any fees for
your use of the Services (such as fees for your provider consultations), together with any
applicable taxes. Please note that Operator may not receive complete information from your
health insurance plan, if applicable, regarding the applicable co-pay due from you for your
consultation. As such, you may be billed more than once with respect to a consultation to
account for additional co-pay amounts due, if any.
You agree that authorizations to charge your Payment Method remains in effect until you cancel
it in writing, and you agree to notify Operator of any changes to your Payment Method. You

the Services that correspond to consultation fees or the co-payment required by your health plan.
You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to your account must comply with
applicable provisions of U.S. law. In the case of an ACH transaction rejected for insufficient
funds, Operator may at its discretion attempt to process the charge again at any time within 30
days.
When scheduling a visit with a Provider using the Services, you will be required to provide a
Payment Method. If you choose to cancel your scheduled appointment, you must do so at least
24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment time. Should you choose to cancel your
scheduled appointment within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time, Operator may assess
a reservation fee.
You acknowledge and agree that fees for consultations may increase at any time.

I. Consent to Services Performed by Summit Health
We are providing this information on behalf of City Medical of Upper East Side PLLC, its
subsidiaries, and Summit Medical Group, P.A. ("Summit Health")
Telemedicine involves the use of communications to enable health care providers at sites remote
from patients to provide consultative services. The information may be used for diagnosis,
medical treatment, therapy, follow up and/or education.
By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:
Consent to Treatment
1) I understand that there are benefits associated with telemedicine, such as improved access to
medical care by enabling a patient to remain at his or her home or office while consulting a
provider, and more efficient medical evaluation and management.
2) I understand that there are risks associated with telemedicine because Summit Health's
providers do not have an opportunity to perform an in-person examination, and are reliant on
information provided by me, and because technological equipment may fail.
3) I understand that the practice of telemedicine and related procedures is not an exact science
and I acknowledge that no guarantees as to the outcome of any assessments, treatments or
examinations have been made to me.
4) I understand that Summit Health will obtain my electronic prescribing history in connection
with my telemedicine visit.
I have read and understand the information provide above, and understand the risks and benefits
of telemedicine, and by accepting these Terms I hereby give my informed consent to participate
in a telemedicine visit under the terms described herein.
Consent to Contact
1) I understand that Summit Health, or its designee, may call my home, cell phone, business
phone or other designated location, through the use of an automated dialing system, prerecorded
voice message, or other method as deemed appropriate by Summit Health, and leave a message
on my voicemail in reference to any items that assist Summit Health in carrying out treatment,
payment, and healthcare operations (TPO), such as appointment reminders, insurance items,
information pertaining to my clinical care, and other matters incident to my treatment.
2) I understand that Summit Health, or its designee, may mail materials to my home or other
designated location, send me text messages (through an automated texting system or otherwise),
or e-mail me regarding any items pertaining to my clinical care, or payment for services,
including protected health information and other matters incident to treatment, such as
appointment reminders and patient statements. I understand that Summit Health cannot and does
not guarantee the privacy, security, or confidentiality of an e-mail message or text message sent
or received.
I have read and understand the information provide above, and by accepting these Terms I
hereby give my informed consent for Summit Health to contact me under the terms described
herein.
J. Consent for Treatment Performed by OCN
We are providing this information on behalf of OCN:
Telemedicine involves the use of communications to enable health care providers at sites remote
from patients to provide consultative services. Providers may include primary care practitioners,
specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up
and/or education, and may include live two-way audio and video and other materials (e.g.,
medical records, data from medical devices).
The communications systems used will incorporate reasonable security protocols to protect the
confidentiality of patient information and will include reasonable measures to safeguard the data
and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption. At the end of each
encounter, the patient will be provided an encounter summary, which may be kept for the
patient's records and may be shared with the patient's local primary care or other provider, as
appropriate.
Anticipated Benefits of Telemedicine
• Improved access to medical care by enabling a patient to remain at his or her home or office
while consulting a clinician.
• More efficient medical evaluation and management.
Possible Risks of Telemedicine
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine.
OCN believes that the likelihood of these risks materializing is very low. These risks may
include, without limitation, the following:
• Delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment may occur due to deficiencies or
failures of the equipment.
• Security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information.
• Lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic
reactions or other negative outcomes.
By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:
1. I understand that the laws that protect privacy and the confidentiality of medical information
also apply to telemedicine; I have received the HIPAA Notice which explains these issues in
greater detail.
2. I understand that telemedicine may involve electronic communication of my personal medical
information to medical practitioners who may be located in other areas, including out of state.
3. I understand that I may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telemedicine in my
care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured.
4. I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with others (including health care
providers and health insurers) for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations purposes.
Psychotherapy notes are maintained by clinicians but are not shared with others, while billing
codes and encounter summaries are shared with others and with me. If I obtain psychotherapy
from OCN, I understand that my therapist has the right to limit the information provided to me if
in my therapist's professional judgment sharing the information with me would be harmful to me.
5. I further understand that my healthcare information may be shared in the following
circumstances:
a) When a valid court order is issued for medical records.
b) Reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.
c) Preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone's health or safety.
Patient Consent to the Use of Telemedicine
I have read and understand the information provided above, and understand the risks and benefits
of telemedicine, and by accepting these Terms I hereby give my informed consent to participate
in a telemedicine visit under the terms described herein.

("Operator," "we," "us," or "our") through which you can access video-based telehealth services
(the "Services"). This Privacy Policy is subject to the Privacy Policy of American Well

available at CityMD Notice of Privacy Practices and Summit Health Notice of Privacy Practices
(“Summit Health’s HIPAA Notice”), or OCN’s Health Insurance Portability and Accountability

A. Collection of Information.
We may collect the following kinds of information when you use the Services:
Information you provide directly to us. For certain activities, such as when you register on the
Summit Health Platform, subscribe to our alerts, contact us directly, or seek to obtain medical
care, we may collect some or all of the following types of information:
- Personal information such as your first and last name, date of birth, and health insurance;
- Contact information such as your email address, mobile phone number, and address;
- Username and password;
- Payment information, such as your credit card number, expiration date, and credit card security
code;
- Personal information such as your first and last name, date of birth, and health insurance;
- For the purposes for obtaining medical care, information about your diagnosis, and previous
treatments; and
- Any other information you provide to us.
We may combine such information with information we already have about you.
Information we collect automatically. We may collect certain information automatically when
you use our Services, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, device and advertising
identifiers, browser type, operating system, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before
and after using the Services, the date and time of your visit, information about the links you click
and pages you view within the Services, and other standard server log information. We may also
collect certain location information when you use our Services, such as your computer’s IP
address, your mobile device’s GPS signal, or information about nearby WiFi access points and
cell towers.
We may use cookies, pixel tags, Local Shared Objects, and similar technologies to automatically
collect this information. Cookies are small bits of information that are stored by your computer’s
web browser. Pixel tags are very small images or small pieces of data embedded in images, also
known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs,” that can recognize cookies, the time and date a page is
viewed, a description of the page where the pixel tag is placed, and similar information from
your computer or device. Local Shared Objects (sometimes referred to as “Flash Cookies”) are
similar to standard cookies except that they can be larger and are downloaded to a computer or
mobile device by the Adobe Flash media player. By using the Services, you consent to our use
of cookies and similar technologies.
We may also collect technical data to address and fix technical problems and improve our
Services, including the memory state of your device when a system or app crash occurs while
using our Services. Your device or browser settings may permit you to control the collection of
this technical data. This data may include parts of a document you were using when a problem
occurred, or the contents of your communications. By using the Services, you are consenting to
the collection of this technical data.
We may also receive information about you from other sources, including through third-party
services and organizations. We may combine our first-party data, such as your email address or
name, with third-party data from other sources and use this to contact you (e.g. through direct
mail). For example, if you access third-party services, such as Facebook, Google, or Twitter,
through the Services to login to the Services or to share information about your experience on the
Services with others, we may collect information from these third-party services.
B. Use of Information.
We generally use the information we collect online to:
- Provide and improve the Services;
- Contact you;
- Fulfill your requests for products, services, and information;
- Send you information about additional clinical services or general wellness from us or on
behalf of our affiliates and trusted third-party partners;
- Analyze the use of the Services and user data to understand and improve the Services;
- Customize the content you see when you use the Services;
- Conduct research using your information, which may be subject to your separate written
authorization;
- Prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities and otherwise in accordance with our Terms
of Use; and
- For any other purposes disclosed to you at the time we collect your information or pursuant to
your consent.
C. Sharing of Information.
We are committed to maintaining your trust, and we want you to understand when and with
whom we may share the information we collect.
- Corporate affiliates. We may share your information with our corporate affiliates that are
subject to this policy.
- Business transfers. We may share your information in connection with a substantial corporate
transaction, such as the sale of a website, a merger, consolidation, asset sale, or in the unlikely
event of bankruptcy.
- Legal purposes. We may disclose information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal
process, law enforcement requests, legal claims or government inquiries, and to protect and
defend the rights, interests, health, safety, and security of SHM, our affiliates, users, or the
public.
- With your consent or at your direction. We may share information for any other purposes
disclosed to you at the time we collect the information or pursuant to your consent or direction.
If you access third-party services, such as Facebook, Google, or Twitter (each, a “Site”), through
the Services to login to the Services or to share information about your experience on the
Services with others, these Sites may be able to collect information about you, including
information about your activity on the Site, and they may notify your connections on the Sites
about your use of the Site, in accordance with their own privacy policies.
If you choose to engage in public activities on the Site or third party sites that we link to, you
should be aware that any information you share there can be read, collected, or used by other
users of these areas. You should use caution in disclosing personal information while
participating in these areas. We are not responsible for the information you choose to submit in
these public areas
D. Security.
We use reasonable measures to help protect information from loss, theft, misuse and
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. You should understand that no data
storage system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be
guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. Please note that information collected by third parties may
not have the same security protections as information you submit to us, and we are not
responsible for protecting the security of such information.
E. Your Choices.
You may opt out of receiving general health and wellness updates that may be relevant to you by
emailing us at appsupport@summithealth.com. You may be able to refuse or disable cookies by
adjusting your web browser settings. Because each web browser is different, please consult the
instructions provided by your web browser (typically in the “help” section). Please note that you
may need to take additional steps to refuse or disable Local Shared Objects and similar
technologies. For example, Local Shared Objects can be controlled through the instructions on
Adobe’s Setting Manager page. If you choose to refuse, disable, or delete these technologies,
some of the functionality of the Services may no longer be available to you.
F. Third-Party Advertising, Links, and Content.
Some of the Services may contain links to content maintained by third parties that we do not
control. We allow third parties, including business partners, advertising networks, and other
advertising service providers, to collect information about your online activities through cookies,
pixels, local storage, and other technologies. These third parties may use this information to
display advertisements on our Services and elsewhere online tailored to your interests,
preferences, and characteristics. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third
parties, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy
Policy.
Some third parties collect information about users of our Services to provide interest-based
advertising on our Services and elsewhere, including across browsers and devices. These third
parties may use the information they collect on our Services to make predictions about your
interests in order to provide you ads (from us and other companies) across the internet. Some of
these third parties may participate in an industry organization that gives users the opportunity to
opt out of receiving ads that are tailored based on your online activities. Due to differences
between using apps and websites on mobile devices, you may need to take additional steps to
disable targeted ad technologies in mobile apps. Many mobile devices allow you to opt out of
targeted advertising for mobile apps using the settings within the mobile app or your mobile
device. For more information, please check your mobile settings. You also may uninstall our
apps using the standard uninstall process available on your mobile device or app marketplace.
To opt out of interest-based advertising across browsers and devices from companies that
participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative opt-out
programs, please visit their respective websites. You may also be able to opt out of interest-
based advertising through the settings within the mobile app or your mobile device, but your opt-
out choice may apply only to the browser or device you are using when you opt out, so you
should opt out on each of your browsers and devices if you want to disable all cross-device
linking for interest-based advertising. If you opt out, you will still receive ads but they may not
be as relevant to you and your interests, and your experience on our Services may be degraded.
Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms. Some web browsers transmit “do-not-track”
signals to websites. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this
feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether
they even are aware of them. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.
G. Children.
We do not knowingly allow individuals under the age of 18 to create accounts that allow access
to our Services.
H. Changes to the Privacy Policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we update the Privacy Policy, we
will revise the “Effective Date” date above and post the new Privacy Policy. We recommend
that you review the Privacy Policy each time you visit the Services to stay informed of our
privacy practices.
I. Questions?
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our practices, please email us
