Below is a list of the Personal Information Wellframe collects and how we use it with your consent. You may be asked additional questions regarding items on this list to ensure we have your consent to collect and use your Personal Information for specific purposes.
De-identified information
In addition to the uses of Personal Information above, we may remove the identifiable parts of your information to create de-identified forms (“De-identified Information”). De-identified Information may be compiled with other data in aggregated forms. We use this aggregated or non-aggregated data in the following ways:
Privacy Shield
Wellframe is committed to adhering to the Privacy Shield principles. Wellframe will not process your information in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by you. To the extent necessary for those purposes, Wellframe will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. Wellframe will adhere to the Privacy Shield principles for as long as it retains any information transmitted while a member of the Privacy Shield.
Independent Recourse Mechanism

Wellframe will respond to the inquiry or complaint within forty-five (45) days.

Wellframe has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the EU-US Privacy Shield principles to the JAMS EU-US Privacy Shield program, an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed by Wellframe, please visit the JAMS website at: https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield for more information or to file complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you. Please note that if your complaint is not resolved through these channels, as a last resort and under limited circumstances, a binding arbitration option may be available before a Privacy Shield panel.
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has jurisdiction over Wellframe’s compliance with the Privacy Shield. Wellframe is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the FTC.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Wellframe does not rent, sell, or share your Personal Information with other people or non-affiliated companies, except to provide products or services you have requested, when we have your authorization to share such information, or when we provide the information to companies or consultants working on our behalf under confidentiality agreements. These companies and consultants do not have any independent right to share your Personal Information.
If Wellframe ever transfers your Personal Information to a third-party, Wellframe is responsible for the processing of Personal Information it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Wellframe will remain liable under the Privacy Shield principles if its agent processes your Personal Information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield principles, unless the third-party organization can prove that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
We may also be required to disclose your Personal Information in response to a legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena to comply with its applicable legal and regulatory reporting requirements. We also may disclose your Personal Information in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our End User License Agreement, or to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our products and services and with applicable laws, or as otherwise required or permitted by law or consistent with legal requirements. In addition, we may transfer your Personal Information to an entity or individual that acquires, buys, or merges with Wellframe, or our other business units.
Confidentiality and Security
We have taken reasonable and necessary steps to ensure that all Personal Information collected will remain secure. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative procedures in an effort to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the Personal Information that we collect.
Wellframe is not responsible for and will not be a party to any transactions between you and a third party provider of products, information or services. Wellframe does not monitor such interactions to ensure the confidentiality of your Personal Information, including credit card information. Any separate charges, data records or obligations you incur in your dealings with third parties linked to or in conjunction with Wellframe's Service are solely your responsibility.
