Google may collect your IP address, browser information, and interaction data. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
- Segment (by Twilio): We use Segment to collect and route analytics data across our platforms. Segment processes usage data, device information, and interaction events. Twilio's privacy policy: twilio.com/legal/privacy

3.2 Advertising and Remarketing
- Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel): We use the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram), to create custom audiences for ad targeting, and to track conversion events. The Meta Pixel may collect your IP address, browser information, page URL, and actions you take on our site. This data is transmitted to Meta Platforms, Inc. and may be used by Meta to serve you targeted advertisements. Meta's privacy policy: facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Google Ads: We use Google Ads conversion tracking (account: AW-794281822) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Google may receive information about your interactions with our ads and website. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
- LinkedIn Insight Tag: We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to measure campaign performance, retarget website visitors, and gain insights about our audience. LinkedIn may collect your IP address, device and browser information, and page interactions. LinkedIn's privacy policy: linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
- Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising): We use Bing Ads conversion tracking (loaded through Segment) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on Microsoft's advertising network.

3.3 Communication and Engagement
- Klaviyo: We use Klaviyo for email marketing and customer communications. Klaviyo may collect your email address, interaction data, and browsing behavior on our site. Klaviyo's privacy policy: klaviyo.com/legal/privacy
- Chatbase: We use Chatbase to provide automated chat support on our website. Chatbase may collect your chat messages and interaction data.
3.4 Embedded Content and Forms
- Typeform: We use Typeform to power embedded forms, surveys, and intake questionnaires on our website. Typeform may collect your responses, IP address, and browser information. Typeform's privacy policy: typeform.com/privacy-policy
- Jotform (HIPAA-compliant): We use Jotform to collect information through embedded forms, including health-related data. Our Jotform account is configured for HIPAA compliance with a signed Business Associate Agreement. Jotform's privacy policy: jotform.com/privacy
- YouTube (privacy-enhanced mode): We embed YouTube videos using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which limits data collection until you interact with the video player.

- Vimeo: We embed Vimeo videos for educational and informational content. Vimeo may collect your IP address and viewing data when you play a video. Vimeo's privacy policy: vimeo.com/privacy
- Self-hosted video content: Certain video content on our site is hosted on our own infrastructure and does not involve third-party tracking or data collection.
3.5 Community Platform
- Circle: We use Circle to operate our patient community at community.palomahealth.com. Circle operates as a CNAME subdomain and manages its own GDPR and CCPA compliance independently. Circle may collect account information, community interactions, and usage data. Circle's privacy policy: circle.so/privacy
3.6 How These Technologies Work
These tools operate by placing small pieces of code (pixels, scripts, or tags) on our website that collect and transmit data to the respective third-party platforms. This data may include your IP address, browser fingerprint, pages visited, actions taken (such as form submissions, button clicks, or purchases), and the content you view --- including health-related page content.
For healthcare-related pages: We take additional steps to limit the data transmitted by tracking technologies on pages where users may be browsing sensitive health information. However, because tracking pixels can capture URL paths and page metadata, visiting health-condition-specific pages on our site may result in that browsing activity being associated with your device or profile by third-party advertising platforms.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our Services
- Process transactions and send related communications
- Facilitate telehealth consultations, lab test orders, prescription fulfillment, and other healthcare services
- Send you marketing communications (with your consent or as permitted by law)
- Personalize your experience and deliver relevant content and advertisements
- Measure advertising effectiveness and optimize campaigns
- Analyze usage patterns and improve our website and products
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, and technical problems
- Comply with legal obligations, including healthcare regulations
- Enforce our Terms of Service and protect our rights
5. How We Share Your Information
We may share your information with the following categories of recipients:
- The Medical Practice and healthcare providers: Employed or contracted physicians, nurses, nutritionists, and other providers who deliver care through our platform, subject to our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
- Service providers: Companies that help us operate our business, including web hosting, payment processing (Stripe), email delivery (Klaviyo), form processing (Typeform, Jotform), customer support, community management (Circle), and data analytics (Segment, Amplitude, Mixpanel)
- Advertising and analytics partners: Third-party platforms (Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft) that receive data through the tracking technologies described in Section 3, for purposes of ad targeting, measurement, and optimization
- Pharmacies and lab partners: To fulfill prescription orders and lab test requests
- Professional advisors: Attorneys, accountants, and other advisors as needed
- Legal and regulatory: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request

- With your consent: When you direct us to share your information
We do not sell your personal information in exchange for monetary consideration. However, sharing data with advertising partners through tracking technologies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state privacy laws (see Section 8).
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our Services, comply with legal obligations (including healthcare record retention requirements), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer needed for these purposes, we securely delete or de-identify it.
Healthcare records are retained in accordance with applicable federal and state medical record retention laws.
7. Cookie Consent and Your Choices
7.1 Our Consent Mechanism
We use a cookie consent banner powered by Finsweet Consent Pro to give you control over tracking technologies on our site. Our consent mechanism operates as follows:
- Essential cookies (such as those required for site functionality, embedded forms, and our chat support) load automatically and are necessary for the site to function.
- For visitors in California and the European Union: Marketing and analytics cookies are blocked by default. These cookies will only load after you affirmatively opt in through our cookie consent banner (opt-in model).
- For visitors in other U.S. states: Marketing and analytics cookies are active by default but you may opt out at any time using our cookie consent banner or by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page (opt-out model).
- Marketing and analytics cookies subject to consent include: Meta Pixel, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Segment, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Bing Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Klaviyo tracking.
- When you decline or opt out, the associated tracking scripts are blocked from loading and no further data is transmitted to those third parties from your browser.
7.2 Cross-Subdomain Consent
Your consent preferences are shared between palomahealth.com and app.palomahealth.com, so you only need to set your preferences once.
7.3 Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through browser settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Services.
7.4 Do Not Track
Our Services do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals, as there is no industry-standard protocol for this. However, you can manage your tracking preferences through our cookie consent banner as described above.
8. Your Privacy Rights
8.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act:

- Right to Correct: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

- Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: You may request that we limit our use of sensitive personal information to purposes necessary to provide the Services.

Consent Mechanism
Paloma Health uses Finsweet Consent Pro to manage cookie consent:
California and EU visitors: Opt-in model. Marketing and analytics cookies are blocked by default until the visitor affirmatively consents.
Other U.S. visitors: Opt-out model. Marketing and analytics cookies are active by default; visitors may opt out at any time via the cookie banner or "Cookie Settings" footer link.
When a visitor opts out (or does not opt in), no data is transmitted to the advertising and analytics platforms listed in category F above.
8.2 Other State Privacy Rights
Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights to access, delete, correct, and opt out of certain data processing. To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@palomahealth.com.
8.3 California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) Compliance
We are committed to complying with California's Invasion of Privacy Act. Our cookie consent mechanism provides California visitors with an opt-in model: no marketing or analytics tracking scripts load until the visitor affirmatively consents through our cookie banner. Visitors may withdraw consent at any time through the "Cookie Settings" link available in the footer of every page.
9. Health Information and HIPAA
Certain health information collected through our Services is protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable state health privacy laws. Our use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) is governed by our separate HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available at https://www.palomahealth.com/legal-doc/hipaa-privacy-policy.
Our cookie consent mechanism is configured so that advertising and analytics tracking technologies do not fire on our patient portal (app.palomahealth.com) without appropriate consent. Depending on the state of the patient, we may use either an opt-in or opt-out approach to cookie consent, in accordance with applicable privacy laws. For example, in California and other states with stricter privacy requirements, visitors must affirmatively opt in before any marketing or analytics tracking scripts are activated. In other states, patients may be provided with an option to opt out of such technologies. This ensures compliance with state-specific privacy standards and protects patient preferences regarding data collection.
10. Consumer Health Data
Several U.S. states, including Washington (My Health My Data Act), Nevada, and Connecticut, have enacted laws that impose specific requirements on the collection, sharing, and deletion of "consumer health data." Consumer health data is broadly defined and may include information that identifies or is reasonably linkable to a consumer and relates to health conditions, treatments, or health-related browsing activity --- even outside of HIPAA-covered interactions.
10.1 What Qualifies as Consumer Health Data on Our Services
Because Paloma Health provides thyroid-related healthcare services, certain information collected through our Services may constitute consumer health data under these laws. This includes:
- Browsing activity on health-related pages (e.g., pages about hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, thyroid testing, or treatment options)
- Interactions with health-related content, even if you have not created an account or become a patient
- Lab results, diagnoses, medications, treatment history, and symptoms provided through our platform
- Biometric and reproductive data such as height, weight, BMI, menstrual cycle, menopause status, and hormonal data
- Inferred or derived data generated through analytics, such as engagement levels or patterns in lab results
10.2 How We Handle Consumer Health Data
We collect and use consumer health data for the purposes described in Section 4 of this Privacy Policy and in our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy. We do not sell consumer health data without your consent.
We may share consumer health data with the categories of recipients described in Section 5, including healthcare providers, labs and pharmacies, insurance companies, and service providers operating under contracts with confidentiality obligations. We may also use or share de-identified or aggregated data (which cannot reasonably be linked back to you) for analytics, research, or service improvement.
10.3 Consent for Tracking Technologies
For visitors in California, Washington, and the European Union, our opt-in cookie consent mechanism (described in Section 7.1) requires affirmative consent before any marketing or analytics tracking scripts load. This means that health-related browsing activity on our site is not transmitted to third-party advertising platforms unless you have opted in.
For visitors in other U.S. states, marketing and analytics cookies are active by default under an opt-out model. You may opt out at any time using our cookie banner or the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page.
10.4 Your Rights Regarding Consumer Health Data
Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to:
- Access the consumer health data we hold about you
- Correct inaccuracies in your consumer health data
- Delete your consumer health data, subject to medical and legal recordkeeping obligations
- Withdraw consent for certain uses of your consumer health data
- Request a portable copy of your consumer health data in a usable format
- Appeal a denied rights request
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@palomahealth.com.
10.5 Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

11. Children's Privacy
Our Services are intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@palomahealth.com.
12. Data Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These measures include encryption of data in transit (SSL/TLS), access controls, and regular security assessments.
No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you become aware of any unauthorized access to your account, please notify us immediately at privacy@palomahealth.com.
13. Third-Party Links and Services
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated by us, including our patient community hosted on Circle (community.palomahealth.com). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our website with a new "Last Updated" date. For significant changes, we may also notify you by email or through a notice on our Services.
