Carebook will only use your personal information for the purposes of providing you the applicable Carebook services and for any other purposes identified in the applicable Terms of Service. Please note that Carebook may take personal information collected through the Carebook application and anonymize it (“Anonymized Data”). Anonymized Data is not personal information and does not under any circumstances identify you. Carebook’s use and disclosure of Anonymized Data is not subject to the terms of this privacy notice and Carebook may use and disclose Anonymized Data for a number of different purposes including, without limitation, in connection with research in prevention, chronic disease management, and other wellness initiatives and to design wellness and health management programs.
