Any personal information that we collect is used to provide services or products to you that you have requested or authorized, to respond to your questions, to provide better functionality to you, to help us manage our Site, to undertake internal analysis, to conduct consumer segmentation, to conduct retargeting campaigns, and to comply with applicable law or valid legal process.

These third-party service providers may have access to your information as needed to perform their functions but may not use it for any other purpose.

 

Linked Sites

For your reference, our Site contains links to Web sites that are not operated by or affiliated with StayWell or Krames. Because these third-party Web sites are not under our control, we cannot be responsible for them, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to the privacy or security practices of those sites. Information you disclose once you access these other Web sites is not subject to this Privacy Policy.

Note to Site Visitors Outside of the United States

StayWell and our technical infrastructure are located in the United States.  The personal information that you provide to us is stored on servers located in the United States. If you are located in another jurisdiction, you should be aware that in order to provide services to you, we must transfer your personal information to the United States where it will be stored and processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may transfer your information outside the United States to service providers with operations in other countries. We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. Note that the United States and other jurisdictions may not afford the same level of data protection as considered adequate in your own country and your personal information may be available to the United States government or its agencies under legal process made in the United States.

 

Additional Information for Visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK

The EU General Data Protection Regulation and UK General Data Protection Regulation (together the “GDPR”) require certain information to be provided to data subjects located in the EEA and the UK, and grant them certain rights regarding their personal information. This section applies solely to the processing activities that are governed by the GDPR.

Data Controller and EEA Representative

StayWell is the controller of the personal information provided to, collected by or for, or processed in relation with, the Site and its related services. StayWell has appointed Aptus Health International France SAS as its representative in the EEA. StayWell’s Data Protection Officer can be contacted at [email protected].

Legal Bases for Processing

When you use the Site, we collect, store, use and otherwise process your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We rely on a number of legal bases to process your information, including where necessary to perform a contract with you to deliver services that you have requested, or to take certain steps prior to entering into such contract. Additionally, we may also process your information based on our legitimate interest: (i) in keeping the Site safe and secure; (ii) in complying with a legal obligation such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order, (iii) in exercising or defending legal claims; and (iv) where necessary to protect our vital interests or those of others. Lastly, we may also process your information when you have consented to such processing, particularly when you have consented to receiving certain content and advertising.

Where we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to decline consent or withdraw your consent at any time. Where we rely on our legitimate interests to process your personal information, you have the right to object.

Your Rights Under the GDPR

If you are a Site visitor in the EEA, you can: (i) access personal information we have about you (we will try to provide information within 30 days of your request); (ii) have your personal information corrected or deleted (in most cases you can correct personal information you have submitted to us through your account); (iii) in certain circumstances, you can object to our processing of your personal information and we will discontinue such processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue; (iv) withdraw consent previously provided (including, in limited circumstances, the right to ask us to stop processing your personal information, with some exceptions, by contacting us); or (v) if you believe that we have not complied with applicable data protection laws, you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. If you wish to inquire as to whether we maintain any of your personal information and if so, whether you wish to exercise any of those rights that are available to you with respect to such personal information, you may contact us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide services to you and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This is also the case for third parties within whom we share your information to perform services on our behalf.  When we no longer need to use your personal information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will either remove it from our systems or anonymize it. 

Transfers Outside the EEA and the UK

We are located in the United States. Accordingly, as the controller, we process your personal information in the United States. We may also transfer your personal information outside the United States to service providers with operations in other countries. For more information, please refer to the “Note to Site Visitors and Account Holders Outside of the United States” section above.
