Modern Health Privacy Notice

1. When this Privacy Notice Applies

This Privacy Notice applies to your “Personal Information,” which includes information that may identify you, and that we collect or which is derived from your interactions with our Services. Examples of Personal Information may include your name, your address, or an online identifier that could identify you (such as an IP address).  Depending on where you live, Personal Information may have a different definition according to the local privacy laws in your area. This Privacy Notice applies to all types of Personal Information as defined by the local privacy laws that apply to you. 

This Privacy Notice does not apply to:

• Medical and treatment information collected by our network of certified coaches and licensed therapists (“Providers”) during coaching or therapy sessions.

• Third-party websites or services that may be linked within our Service.  Any information you provide to those third-party websites are controlled by those third parties and are subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to read their privacy policies carefully before giving them your information.

Some Services can be provided to those under thirteen but this is handled outside of our online Services (e.g., by phone) and therefore electronic information for children under the age of 13 is not available.

1. Performance of a Contract:  For example, to carry out our contractual obligations with you pursuant to a contract to supply goods or services.
