Where necessary, supplementary measures are adopted by the data importer and exporter to ensure personal data is afforded an essentially equivalent level of protection in the third country.

For example, onboarding new Sponsored Members is based on our legitimate interest in providing our services. Wellthy regularly reviews the necessity and proportionality of such processing with respect to the rights and freedoms of the data subjects concerned.
  • In special circumstances, you may provide your express consent to Wellthy’s processing of your personal information. For example, where special category data (e.g. health data) is processed under Article 9 GDPR. In such cases, Wellthy will take steps to ensure that your consent is informed and freely given.
  • In other circumstances, Wellthy may process your personal information if necessary to perform a contract with you. For example, if you sign up and enroll in Wellthy directly.

International and Onward Transfers of Personal Information. Wellthy is a US-based company with data centers located in the United States. Your personal information will be transferred across international borders and processed in the US. The US may have different or less protective data protection laws than your own country. International transfers of personal data (including onward transfers) to third countries which have not achieved adequacy under GDPR Article 45 are made pursuant to the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and are subject to a transfer impact assessment. Where necessary, supplementary measures are adopted by the data importer and exporter to ensure personal data is afforded an essentially equivalent level of protection in the third country.

Privacy Rights of EEA and UK Data Subjects. If you are a person located in the EEA or the UK, subject to certain limitations, you have the following data protection rights:

  • Right to Withdraw Consent – If processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw consent to the processing at any time.
  • Right to Object to Processing – If processing is based on legitimate interest, you have the right to object to the processing at any time.
  • Right to Object to Automated Processing – You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling.
  • Access and Rectification – You have the right to access, correct, and update your personal information without undue delay.
  • Right to Deletion or Erasure – You have the “right to be forgotten” through the erasure or deletion of your personal information without undue delay.
  • Right to Portability – You have the right to move, copy, or transfer personal data from our service to another service. If requested, we will provide you with a machine-readable file to transfer.
  • Right to Stop Processing – You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information and to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information, subject to certain limitations.
  • Right to Submit a Complaint – You have the right to submit a complaint to your data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information.

9. Cookie Policy and “Do Not Track” Requests

Our Use of Cookies. Wellthy uses cookies in a range of ways to improve your experience on our Site. We may automatically collect certain information when you visit our Site, including through cookies, web beacons and other technologies. Such cookies include strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, and targeting cookies. For example, we may use analytics cookies to generate and analyze statistics about your use of the Site and functional cookies to improve and customize your experience with the Site. We may also use marketing cookies to collect aggregate information about Site Visitors. The information collected for these purposes (including your IP address and other information collected by automated means) may be disclosed to or collected directly by our third-party web analytics service providers, such as Google Analytics. To learn more about how Google uses your information, please, click here.

You will be asked to adjust your cookie settings when you initially access our Site and Wellthy Community. Community Members and Site Visitors in the EEA or the UK will be presented with an opportunity to consent to non-essential cookies by opting in to cookies when they first visit our Site.

Do Not Track Signals. In accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we have adopted a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) request policy. DNT is a feature that some web browsers offer to allow Site Visitors to send signals to other websites so that no information about their browser session will be shared. You may enable your web browser to send our Site a DNT request, but your browsing and experience may be degraded. Sometimes, DNT does not work even when enabled. You can learn more about DNT here.

10. Children’s Data

Children’s Data in the United States and Canada. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), and other US state and Canadian provincial laws, this Site and Wellthy’s services are not marketed to children under thirteen (13) years of age and you may not sign up for Wellthy or Wellthy Community if you are under 13 years of age. If you learn that a United States or Canadian-based child under the age of 13 has created an account with Wellthy, please contact privacy@wellthy.com.

Children’s Data in the EEA and the UK. Wellthy recognizes that children’s information is more sensitive than that of adults and that children’s information often requires greater protection. While different EEA and UK jurisdictions set different ages of majority, Wellthy takes steps to prevent children under the age of majority from signing up for its services (including Wellthy Community) in each jurisdiction.

Children as Care Recipients or Journey Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a parent or legal guardian of a child may share the child’s information with Wellthy to provide them with care coordination services. We ask that information about children under the age of majority not be provided to Wellthy without the prior consent of the child’s parent or legal guardian. By providing the information of a child under the age of 13 in the US and Canada, 16 in the EEA or 12 in the UK, you are affirming that you are legally authorized to provide such information.

  • Risk assessments

  • Encryption of personal data
  • Vulnerability and penetration testing
  • Monitoring
  • Incident response
  • Backup and recovery
  • Vendor management
  • Security awareness and training

When interacting with Wellthy Community, we recommend that you create a unique and difficult password, that you not share your account credentials with others or allow your credentials to be easily accessed by others, that you connect to our Site over secure networks, that you log out after using our service, and that you stay alert to unusual or suspicious activities.

Wellthy has taken the necessary steps to review the information security practices at Higher Logic and to verify that Higher Logic adequately supports their software and is aligned with Wellthy's security measures. Please reach out to privacy@wellthy.com for additional information.
