(a)          Voluntarily Provided. In order to use the App, you will be required to provide personal information, such as, for instance, your name, email address, address, phone number, photos (optional), etc. You choose whether to disclose this information, but you may not be able to use the App without disclosing it. The use of photos in the app is entirely optional and you are able to use the app without providing them.

We may collect some information automatically as you navigate the App for various reasons, including for administration and troubleshooting purposes and to improve your use and enjoyment of the App. This sort of information is generally considered non-personal Information. We may combine information about your use with information about others' use to generate aggregated Non-personal Information about users as a collective. We may also combine the information you submit through the App with information you have provided to us in another manner, and if the resulting combination contains personal information, then the combination will be treated as personal information under this policy.

2.        How We Use the Information. Generally, we use information provided through the App to enhance and personalize the App; to communicate with you; to allow a patient's therapist and other members of the patient's healthcare team to track and update a patient's progress and to communicate with the patient and his or her designated VIPs; to improve, administer, customize, and/or maintain the App; and to carry out our obligations and enforce our rights.

We may also communicate with you about our services and team, and about your experience and rehabilitation with our team. We may use Non-personal Information to conduct market research and analysis for ourselves and for others. We do not place any restrictions on the use of Non-personal Information.

The information is stored on servers protected by physical and network security, including keys, access codes and/or passwords.

While we take these measures, there is no guarantee that the App is error free, interruption free or free from threat of outside virus or attack, despite our efforts to safeguard your experience.

5.        Third Party Apps. This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any App or web property (including, without limitation, any application) that is available through this App or to which this App contains a link.
