time to time by Healthper, its Affiliates or Sponsors, in Healthper's sole discretion.
If you are eligible, you may be given opportunities to earn Healthper Tokens™ (“Tokens”)
by taking advantage of Token-earning opportunities on the Site and other third party
Web sites; responding to offers from participating advertisers and partners via
email, postal mail or telephone; and complying with the terms of other offers or

Such messages may include Site system updates; flash bulletins; order confirmations;
administrative announcements; special requests and other similar messages ("Administrative
Messages") and may be sent via message post to your account on the Site, email or
regular mail. You may elect to stop receiving email, but cannot unsubscribe from
these Administrative Messages while enrolled as a participant in Healthper on the
Site. Healthper is under no obligation to provide you with any particular number
of Token-earning opportunities or send messages to you. Healthper reserves the right
to limit Site enrollment at any time. Healthper reserves the right to prevent access
to the Site and its Token/Rewards programs from IP addresses outside of the U.S.

Participation is limited to one individual per Site account. Healthper allows only
one email address per participant. You agree to comply with the terms of all Site
and participating advertiser and partner offers, promotions, and programs at all
times. You agree not to abuse Site privileges by conduct which is detrimental to
the interests of Healthper, including without limitation attempting to accrue Tokens
or use Tokens in a manner inconsistent with the rules of the Site or intent of this
Agreement, having multiple accounts, attempting to earn Tokens through other than
legitimate channels, participating in purchasing or redemption fraud, or tampering

at Healthper's sole discretion, Your membership/participation if Healthper believes
You have violated or acted inconsistently with the rules of the Site or intent of
this Agreement. You understand and agree disabling of membership/participation will
result in your inability to redeem and/or earn Tokens. You understand and agree
termination of membership/participation will result in the cancellation of all of
Your Tokens. Healthper shall be the sole determiner in cases of suspected abuse,
fraud, or violation of its rules and any decision it makes relating to termination
of membership/participation (including cancellation of Tokens) shall be final and
binding. Healthper reserves the right to adjust your Tokens balance with award reversals
for items returned or transactions not completed or cancelled. A pattern of placing
orders followed by cancellations is construed as purchasing fraud and could result
in the termination of your Healthper account. Points may be spent only on rewards
as offered through the Site at the time of redemption. Tokens have no cash value.
Healthper is not responsible for lost or stolen rewards once issued. Rewards are
subject to change at any time without notice. The number of Points required to redeem
for a reward are subject to change at any time without notice. Inquiries regarding
rewards ordered and not received must be received by Healthper within 6 months after
the initial redemption date. Thereafter, Healthper will have no obligation to re-send
rewards to you. Tokens will be subtracted from your account once the redemption
order is placed and captured by the Site system. Once used to claim a reward, Tokens
will not be reinstated to Your account. In conjunction with redeeming Tokens for
rewards, you agree to confirm that all information in your personal profile is up
to date and accurate. You agree to promptly notify Healthper of any change in your
address (mail or email) or personal profile by updating Your personal information
in the My Profile section of the Site under My Account. Your discontinued participation
in the Site or failure to notify Healthper of any address (mail or email) or profile
changes may result in the termination of your membership and forfeiture of your
unredeemed Tokens. Healthper reserves the right to cancel or disable accounts and
expire unredeemed Tokens in those accounts that are inactive for a period of 12
consecutive months. Inactive shall be defined as lack of one of the following: website
visit, email response (click-thru), survey completion, profile update or any Token-earning
or redemption transaction. Healthper reserves the right to limit the opportunities
to earn Tokens available to you while you remain inactive. You shall comply with
all laws, rules, and regulations that are applicable to you. You acknowledge that
you may only participate in Token-earning transactions for Tokens if and to the
extent that such participation is permitted by such laws, rules, and regulations.
Healthper may refuse to enroll you, or to restrict, modify, or terminate your participation
in activities on the Site, without liability to you or any other party, if you violate
any law, rule, or regulation, or if your participation in the Site could violate
any law, rule, or regulation.

to credit Tokens in such event.

but not limited to your name, email address, gender, birth date, occupation and
other demographic information. We may also ask for additional information about
you for security reasons, or to provide products or services to you. Once you have
opened an account on this Site, you can provide other information about yourself,

certain data pertaining to you and the equipment and communications method that

prior to visiting the Site, and the length of time you spend at the Site, but without
combining these data with other sources of information, they do not readily or individually

Security Practices
We use commercially reasonable methods to keep information about you that we collect
or store on or through the Site safe from unauthorized access, modification or use.
Because Healthper respects your privacy and values your trust, the only persons
to whom we give access to information about you are those who use it to provide
services to you or conduct other activities described in this Website Privacy Policy.
Healthper maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to
comply with applicable state and federal standards to help guard information about
you and to assist us in preventing unauthorized access to that information. Nevertheless,
no set of security safeguards is guaranteed to be impenetrable. We cannot and do
not guarantee that communications to or from the Site, or that data transmitted
or stored on or through the Site, are or will be totally secure from loss, misuse
or unauthorized access by third parties.

Acknowledgment
BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND,
AND CONSENT TO OUR PRIVACY PRACTICES AND TO THE USES AND DISCLOSURES OF INFORMATION
THAT WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF USE APPLICABLE TO YOU.
Healthper Health Information Privacy Policy
This Healthper Health Information Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes our privacy
practices that are specific to our treatment of individually identifiable health
information (“Health Information”) when you use www.healthper.com or related websites
owned and operated by Healthper USA, Inc. (“Healthper”) (collectively and each separately,
the “Site”). The Healthper Website Privacy Policy
more broadly describes how Healthper treats all individually identifiable information,
including Health Information, when you use the Site.
Healthper reserves the right to modify this Health Information Privacy Policy at
any time. Such modifications will be effective immediately and incorporated into
this Policy without notice. It is your responsibility to check
Healthper Health Information Privacy Policy to inform yourself of any such
changes. Your continued use of the Site will be deemed acceptance and understanding
of this Policy at the time of such use.
You are in control of your Health Information
- To store your Health Information on the Site, you will need an account on the Site
(an “Account”). You control what Health Information is stored in your Account and
can store as much or as little information in your Account as you want. If you so
choose, your Health Information may include your medical record and history information
(e.g., conditions, allergies, test results, medications, immunizations or health
insurance information) and/or your wellness data and goals (e.g., personalized wellness
goals around weight or exercise).
- While you can edit Health Information that you have personally entered into your
Account at any time, you cannot edit Health Information that third parties send
to your Account at your request. You can, however, partially or completely delete
your Health Information at any time. Deletion will be initiated immediately, and
your Health Information will be purged from your Account shortly thereafter. Additional
backup copies of deleted information may persist for a short time. Since deleted
data will not be restored, you may want to print information before deleting it.
Deletion will not revoke your prior consent or authorization for uses and disclosures
of your Health Information prior to your deletion.
- You control who can access your Health Information through the Site. By default,
you are the only member of the Site who can view and edit your Health Information,
but you have the option to share your Health Information with other members of the
Site or, as outlined below, third-party service providers. You can revoke access
to your Health Information at any time.
- Health Information stored in your Account is not publicly accessible through internet
searches on Google.com or other internet search engines. Healthper will not sell,
rent, or share your Health Information without your explicit consent, except in
the limited situations described in this Policy or the
Healthper Website Privacy Policy– for example, when Healthper believes it
is required to do so by law.
How you can share your Health Information
- If you share your Health Information with others, you can view a list of who has
access to your Health Information and, as mentioned above, you can revoke sharing
privileges at any time. When you revoke someone's ability to read your Health Information,
that party will no longer be able to read your information, but may have already
seen or may retain a copy of the Health Information. You should be aware that some
of the Health Information you share may show up on the pages of other members to
whom you have allowed access and may be shared or copied by such other members.
Healthper is not responsible for actions taken with respect to your Health Information
by third parties (including other members of the Site) to whom you disclose such
Health Information.
- Healthper contains links to third-party service providers that are capable of securely
sending information to Healthper. These service providers (which may include your
medical providers) may provide information about certain health conditions or extend
the functionality of the Site in other ways. By creating a link to these service
providers, you give them permission to send your Health Information (such as medical
records, prescription histories or test reports) to your Account.
- You can approve access for some of these service providers to view and copy your
Health Information. If a service provider accesses your Health Information and stores
a copy of your Health Information, that copy will be governed by that service provider's
privacy policy. Others at that service provider – for example, a doctor or nurse
– may be able to view your Health Information. Healthper is not responsible for
the content, performance, or privacy policies of third-party service providers.
- Some of these third-party service providers will be covered by federal and state
health privacy laws (such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act, or “HIPAA”), and those laws will also govern how they may use and share your
information. HIPAA requires (as does Healthper) that you must authorize these providers
to send information to your Account. Click here for a
sample Authorization form. With that authorization, you also give them permission
to send certain especially sensitive types of health information (such as mental
health or substance abuse records) that are protected by federal and state laws
and require special authorization for disclosure to third parties. If you disclose
this information yourself, these protections do not apply.
- Healthper service providers that are entities or business associates covered by HIPAA
are contractually required by law and by Healthper to comply with HIPAA's applicable
rules related to collection, use, and sharing of your information.
- However, Healthper is not a “covered entity” under HIPAA. As a result, HIPAA does
not apply to the transmission of health information by Healthper to any third party.
If you authorize a HIPAA covered entity such as your healthcare provider to provide
Health Information to Healthper on your behalf, that Health Information will no
longer be subject to HIPAA.
How Healthper uses and shares your Health Information
- When you create your Account, Healthper asks for your email address and a password,
which is used to protect your Account from unauthorized access.
- Within Healthper, a limited number of employees in particular job functions may
have access to your Health Information in order to operate and improve the Site,
and they are bound by strict policies to not disclose this information to others,
either within Healthper or to the outside world. In addition, Healthper may grant
certain third-party contractors and vendors access to your Health Information subject
to Healthper's strict security and confidentiality requirements and solely to the
extent necessary to assist Healthper with the operation or improvement of the Site.
- Healthper's servers automatically record log information about your use of the Site
(such as number of sign-ins and number of times a link was clicked). This information
is temporarily stored in association with your Account for a period of 7 years,
at which point it is aggregated with other data and is no longer associated with
your Account. The log information will be used to operate and improve the Site.
Except as provided in this Policy or the Healthper Website
Privacy Policy, de-identified information, including the anonymous log information
is restricted and will not be shared by Healthper with third parties.
- Healthper periodically publishes trend statistics and associations. Healthper may
use data from your Account as part of an aggregated data set when publishing these
trends statistics and associations. These aggregated data sets do not contain any
personally identifiable information.
- To the extent necessary, Healthper may share your Health Information to protect
against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Healthper, users of the
Site or the public, or to address fraud or violations of theTerms and Conditions
of Use.
More information about Healthper's Privacy Policies
Although Healthper is not covered by HIPAA, we are committed to protecting your
privacy and have implemented strict data security policies and measures and ensure
that users of the Site control access to their Health Information. Any violation
of this Policy or the Healthper Website Privacy Policy can be enforced by the Federal
Trade Commission, which takes action against companies that engage in unfair and
deceptive trade practices (including violations of their privacy policies) and may
impose civil and criminal penalties. If you have any questions regarding this Policy,
please contact the Healthper Privacy Officer,
Healthper USA, Inc. 24 Guenevere Court, Hamden, CT 06518.
HIPAA
Healthper is not a HIPAA covered entity. Unlike a doctor or health plan, Healthper
is not regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA),
a federal law that provides for certain protections of the use and disclosures of
an individual's identifiable health information. You control what health information
is added to your personal Healthper account. If you authorize a HIPAA covered entity
such as your healthcare provider to provide information to Healthper on your behalf,
that information as provided to Healthper will no longer be subject to the HIPAA
protections.
