This Privacy Policy describes the Company’s policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information which you provide when you use the Company’s web site (the “Site”).

When you access the Site we collect and store personally identifiable information (generally defined to mean information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact or locate a single person, or identify an individual in context) about you that may include, among other things, your name, postal and e-mail addresses, information regarding your computer system. We request certain information from you if you want to subscribe to our newsletter.
(i) For each visitor to our Site, our web server may automatically attempt to identify the user through a cookie placed within the user’s web browser (a cookie is a message given to a web browser by a web server; the browser stores the message in a text file; the message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server). This is done to provide users with more relevant access to the Site. From time to time we may also track information, in aggregate, on pages and features that users access or view. The activity is collected and stored in our server’s log files. We may log Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, or the location of your computer on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We use this information in an aggregate fashion to track access to the Site. (ii) We may also place cookies on users’ computers to allow users to store login information, personalize their user experience and navigate easily through the Site. Through the use of additional cookies or technology, we will have the ability to track users by their behaviour profile and geographic location for the purpose of providing advertising that matches their interests and/or specific location.
(a) We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of the Company (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers). As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer or assign such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution. In such cases we cannot control acquiring parties’ use of your information. (b) We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect the Company’s rights or property. Additional use of your personal information that is not described in this Privacy Policy will only take place as required by statute or when we have obtained your consent.
The Company website may contain links to other sites or services that may be subject to less stringent privacy standards. The Company cannot assume any responsibility for the privacy practices, policies or actions of the third parties that operate these websites or services. We are not responsible for how such third parties collect, use or disclose your personal information. You should review their privacy policies before providing them with personal information.
We are committed to providing users of the Company Products with the choice to receive or not receive emails, promotional materials and/or other communications from the Company. We only send commercial emails to users who have requested or consented to receive emails about our services and products. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails (“spam”), buy or sell email lists, or use purchased or harvested email lists. We offer commercial email recipients the opportunity to opt-out of further communications in every email. If you want to stop receiving commercial emails, promotional or other marketing materials, you can do so at any time by contacting the Company at rik@awellhealth.com.
The Company is operated from Europe. If you are located in Canada, the United States or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to Europe. By using the Company, participating in any of our services and/or providing us with your information, you consent to this transfer.
(a) The security of the Company Products and your information is of great importance to the Company. The Company has reasonable security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of your information under the Company’s control, but we make no assurances about our ability to prevent any such loss, misuse or alteration, and we shall have no liability to you or any third party from any loss, misuse or alteration. We do not warrant that your access to the Company Products is completely secure. (b) The Company shall notify any user whose information is suspected of being accessed, disclosed, altered or deleted by an unauthorized person, so that the user can take appropriate measures to minimize the adverse effect of such a data security breach (a "Breach Notification"). The Company will make such Breach Notification soon after it learns of a breach, unless it deems, at its sole discretion, that such Notification might hinder and prevent ongoing efforts to detect the source of the breach. For the avoidance of doubt, a Breach Notification does NOT constitute an admission by the Company that the breach occurred as a result of malpractice, failure, bad faith or negligence on behalf of the Company or that the breach even occurred in the Company's systems.
Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. the Company does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to access the Site or use the Company Products. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. Please check this page on a consistent basis.
