Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 24, 2023
Introduction

Thrivelab Co. ( "Thrivelab" "we," or "us" ) owns and operates the websites located at www.thrivelab.com (the " Websites") and may have previously, now or in the future own and/or operate a Thrivelab 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 Thrivelab, and any affiliated website, software or application owned or operated by Thrivelab (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 Thrivelab 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 Thrivelab 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 or such older age as may be required by applicable state laws in the jurisdiction in which an individual utilizes the Service. Individuals who are between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18) (or such older age of majority) may use the Service for the sole purpose of obtaining a medical consultation for the treatment of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy through Thrivelab.com if a parent or legal guardian provides consent to such use in accordance with the requirements set forth in our Terms and Conditions and the Service. Services available through www.thrivelab.com are not available for individuals under eighteen (18) years of age or the applicable age of majority in their jurisdiction. 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 submit any such request ("Request for Removal of Minor Information") to either of the following:

For each Request for Removal of Minor Information, please state "Removal of Minor Information" in the email or letter subject line, and clearly state the following in the body of the request:

We will not accept any Request for Removal of Minor Information via telephone or facsimile. Thrivelab is not responsible for failing to comply with any Request for Removal of Minor Information that is incomplete, incorrectly labeled or incorrectly sent.

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 Thrivalab to maintain the content or information; when Thrivelab maintains the content or information on behalf of your Providers (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) as part of your electronic medical record; 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 Thrivalab 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 Thrivelab' voluntary practices concerning the collection of personal information through the Service from certain minors, and is not intended to be an admission that Thrivalab 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 Thrivelab, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Thrivelab 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 Thrivelab, 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. Thrivelab 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"). One or more of the Labs, Pharmacies or Medical Groups (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) may or may not be a "covered entity" or "business associate" under HIPAA, and Thrivalab may in some cases be a "business associate" of a Pharmacy or Medical Group. 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 Thrivalab, the Medical Groups, the Providers the Labs, or the Pharmacies. To the extent Thrivelab is deemed a "business associate" however, and solely in its role as a business associate, Thrivelab, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to "protected health information," as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Thrivelab, the Medical Group or the Providers (" PHI"). 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.

The Medical Groups and Providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Provider(s).

By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are agreeing that even if HIPAA does apply to Thrivelab, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs or the Pharmacies, any information that you submit to Thrivalab that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, laboratory services by the Labs or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies, 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 Thrivalab 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.

Collection of Information

We collect any information you provide when you use the Service, including, but not limited to:

In addition, if you or a third party sends Thrivelab 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 Thrivelab may collect any personal or non-personal information provided therein or therewith.

In addition to the information we collect directly from you, we may also collect certain information from the Medical Group and/or Providers who provide treatment or other services to you in connection with our Service. This information may include, but is not limited to, diagnoses, treatment plans (including prescription details) and notes, and is accessible and visible through certain components of the Service.

We may also receive information from third parties that pay for your care or provide you with treatment, laboratory care or prescription medication, which may include, for example, your prescription history, insurance policy, insurance eligibility and coverage, and laboratory test results.

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

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 Thrivelab permission to monitor or otherwise track your activities on the Service, and that Thrivalab may use the aforementioned technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies.

In connection with any transaction that you conduct through the Service (e.g., the purchase or sale of any products or services on or through the Service), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction, including, without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date, your billing address, your shipping address, your phone number and/or your email address. By submitting such information, you grant Thrivalab without charge the irrevocable, unencumbered, universe-wide and perpetual right to provide such information to third parties (e.g., payment processing companies, buyers on the Service, sellers on the Service) for the purpose of facilitating the transaction.

Reference is made to the Stripe Policies for informational purposes only and are in no way incorporated into or made a part of this Privacy Policy. Thrivalab' relationship with Stripe, if any, is merely contractual in nature, as Stripe nothing more than a third-party vendor to Thrivalab, and is in no way subject to Thrivalab' direction or control; thus, their relationship is not, and should not be construed as, one of fiduciaries, franchisors-franchisees, agents-principals, employers-employees, partners, joint venturers or the like.

California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose or sell about you under the CCPA. Additionally, you have the right to access and delete your personal information.

We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Verification: Please note, we will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling any of the above requests. If you maintain an account with us, we will verify your identity through existing authentication practices for the account (e.g., login and password). If you are not a registered member, we will verify your identity by matching two or three data points that you provide with data points that we maintain and have determined to be reliable for the purposes of verification (e.g., browser or device ID).

Authorized Agents: Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your or your minor child's personal information. In order to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide written proof that you have consented to this designation unless the agent has power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000-4465. You must also verify your identity directly with us by providing a copy of your government issued identification.

Response Timing and Format: If you are a Thrivelab customer with an online account, we will deliver our written response to that account online or via email. If you are not a Thrivalab customer or do not have an online account, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your preference. The response will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. Please note, that if you are submitting a request regarding information you provided to a Medical Group, a Providers, or a Pharmacy, your request should be directed to that entity.

Anti-Discrimination Right: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. But note that some of the functionality and features available to you may change or no longer be available to you upon deletion of your personal information or opt-out of sale of your personal information.

We do not sell your personal information for money, but we use cookies and similar technologies. Please see section on cookies in "How Information is Collected"; regarding our cookie usage. To opt out of cookies, click "CCPA - Do Not Sell My Information"

We do not and will not sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without affirmative authorization.

Miscellaneous

We strive to use reasonable physical, technical and administrative measures to protect information under our control. However, you must keep your Account password secure and your Account confidential, and you are responsible for any and all use of your Account. If you have reason to believe that the security of your Account has been compromised, please notify us immediately in accordance with the "Contacting Us" section below.

When using the Service, you may choose not to provide us with certain information, but this may limit the features you are able to use or may prevent you from using the Service all together. You may also choose to opt out of receiving certain communications (e.g., newsletters, promotions) by emailing us your preference. Please note that even if you opt out, we may still send you Service-related communications. We do not currently respond to web browser "do not track" signals or other mechanisms that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information across the networks of websites and online services in which we participate.
