Privacy - Our Commitment

First, a note about Caraway’s commitment to your privacy:

Caraway deeply values its role as your trusted care provider. Central to that promise is safeguarding the privacy of your personal information, including personal information that is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and personal information that may not be considered protected health information (“PHI”).

Our Notice of Privacy Practices (“NPP”) and this Privacy Policy describe Caraway’s privacy practices in user-friendly terms, including what information we collect in order to deliver you high-quality care, what we use your information for, how we may share your information when needed, and the rights and preferences you may have with respect to your personal information.

Here are a few things we want you to know:

  1. We only collect the personal information we need in order to provide you with Caraway’s integrated care services and products. We do not collect more information than we need. The personal information that we ask you to provide us, or give you the option to provide us, is intended to help us deliver the health care services, health-related services and products you have come to Caraway for, and to do so consistent with our standards of high-quality, integrated care; intuitive technology products; and exceptional member service.
  1. We do not use your personal information for purposes unrelated to the reasons for which it was collected or your reasonable expectations. We know it is important to you that you be aware of all the reasons that your information is handled by Caraway and its partners. Our stewardship of the information you entrust to us is of the utmost importance. We hold your personal information to the same standard we would expect for ourselves and our families.
  1. We do not retain personal information for longer than is necessary. We understand the importance of minimizing the personal and sensitive data that we may maintain. We will only retain your data for the period of time required by law and if there is no requirement, then only so long as we need to continue to store it.
  1. We do not sell your personal information. We will not sell your identifiable personal information to third parties.
  1. We offer you ways to control your personal information and express your preferences. We provide you with a variety of ways to exercise control over your personal information, including making certain data optional, providing you with direct control over updating and editing your user profile, providing you with unsubscribe options, and providing you the ability to delete your account and data to the extent permitted by law. (As a health care provider, we are required to retain some of your data under law.) We’ve outlined how you can delete data that is not PHI in our Privacy Policy.

Please note that you may have further rights and choices as may be described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.

  • Opting out of receiving electronic communications from us. You will not receive promotional electronic communications from us unless you have opted in to receive such communications. If you no longer wish to receive promotional email communications from us, you may opt out via the unsubscribe link included in such emails or by contacting us at support@caraway.health.

  • Opting out of mobile data tracking. As described in this policy, Caraway will never sell your data directly, nor profit from the sale of your data, to third parties. However, you also have the right to opt out of mobile data tracking collected for the purposes of measuring advertising efficiency and informing the company’s future advertising efforts. If you choose to opt out, you may proceed as follows:
    • For iOS users, when you set up the Caraway app your iphone may generate a screen that asks you for permission to track. Please select “Ask App Not to Track” to deny Caraway access. You may also navigate to Settings > Privacy > Tracking at any time to select or modify this permission setting.

      For more information, please see Apple’s user guide here.
    • For Android users, Google enables you to delete your Android advertising ID. If you are using Android 12 or later, you may open the Settings app, and then navigate to Privacy > Ads. Tap “Delete Advertising ID” and then tap it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it again in the future.

      If you are using an earlier version of Android, you can use the privacy controls to reset your Advertising ID and then select “Opt Out of Ads Personalization”.

      For more information, please see Google’s support guide here.
  • View or change your account personal information. If you have an account on our App, please visit your account for any privacy rights, choices, or preference options that may be offered.

  • Account deletion requests. You have the right to request the deletion of your account with Caraway. If you would like to request that your account be deleted, please contact us at support@caraway.health.
  • Your California privacy rights.  California residents have certain rights with respect to our sharing of their personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. However, because California residents have the right to request information regarding such practices under California’s “Shine the Light” Law, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section. You must include your full name, email address and postal address in your email or mail request so that we can verify your California residence and respond. “Personal information” under this California law means any information that identified, described, or was able to be associated with an individual at the time of disclosure.
  • Your Nevada privacy rights. Nevada residents have the right to request to opt out of any “sale” of their personal information under Nevada SB 220. We do not currently sell personal information under Nevada law; however, you may still request to opt out of the future sale of your personal information. If you are a Nevada resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section at the end of this Privacy Policy, and provide “Nevada Privacy Rights” in the subject line. You must include your full name, email address and postal address in your request so that we can verify your Nevada residence and respond. In the event we sell your personal information after the receipt of your request, we will make reasonable efforts to comply with such request.

5. Data Security

The security of your personal information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We maintain appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to help protect the security of your personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or misuse. We encourage you to secure your account with a strong password and to keep your password private.
