We collect information you provide directly to us, including name, address, email, phone number, date of birth, and household information when you enroll or contact us. For medical need submissions, we collect relevant health information and documentation necessary to process your request.
We automatically collect certain information when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. This helps us improve our services and understand how members use our platform.
We use your information to administer your membership, process contributions, evaluate and share medical needs, and communicate with you about your account. We may use anonymized or aggregated data to improve our services, conduct analytics, and share with the community in accordance with our Sharing Guidelines.
We may send you transactional emails, membership updates, and occasional information about our program. You may opt out of marketing communications while still receiving essential account-related messages.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating our platform, such as payment processors and customer support tools. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
Medical need information may be shared in anonymized form with the sharing community as part of our transparency practices. In limited circumstances, we may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of our members.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal and health information. This includes encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments. Our staff receives training on data protection and confidentiality.
While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to maintaining robust safeguards.
