Where is your Personal Data processed?
Personal Data Falcon Health collects through the Platform will be stored on secure cloud based servers through Amazon Web Services, even if you are accessing the Platform from outside the United States. Your country's data protection laws may not apply and may be more stringent than those to which Falcon Health is legally subject. Personal Data may be transmitted to third parties, which parties may store or maintain the data on their secure servers. These third parties are not permitted to transfer your Personal Data outside of the United States.
Will we share your Personal Data with anyone else?
Yes, with third parties that help us power our Platform. Falcon Health has a limited number of service providers and other third parties ("Business Partners") that help us run various aspects of our business. These Business Partners are contractually bound to protect Your Personal Data and to use it only for the limited purpose(s) for which it is shared. Business Partners' use of Personal Data may include, but is not limited to, the provision of services such as data hosting, information security, IT services, customer service, and billing management.
Yes, with third parties and the government when legal or enforcement issues arise. We may share your Personal Data, if reasonable and necessary, to (i) comply with legal processes or enforceable governmental requests, or as otherwise required by law; (ii) cooperate with third parties in investigating acts in violation of this Agreement; or (iii) bring legal action against someone who may be violating the Terms of Use or who may be causing intentional or unintentional injury or interference to the rights or property of Falcon Health or any third-party, including other users.
Yes, with third parties that provide advisory services. We may share Your Personal Data with Our lawyers, auditors, accountants, or banks, when We have a legitimate business interest in doing so.
Yes, with third parties in the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of Falcon Health's corporate entity, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings). If We share Your Personal Data with a third-party other than as provided above, You will be notified at the time of data collection or transfer, and You will have the option of not permitting the transfer.
What is "anonymized data" and what will We do with it?
We may, from time to time, rent or sell aggregated data and/or other information that does not contain any personal identifiers (i.e., the information has been anonymized by stripping out identifiers such as name, address, phone number, etc.). The purpose of this type of disclosure is to describe the Platform to current and prospective business partners and other third parties. The anonymized data may also be shared or published through academic journals or media platforms for lawful purposes. Once your data is anonymized, it is no longer Personal Data, and we are not restricted in our use of that data for any purpose.
How long do We retain Personal Data?
We will retain your Personal Data for as long as you maintain a User Account and up to 7 years after the account is closed. The exact period of retention will depend on the type of Personal Data, our contractual obligation to you, and applicable law. We keep your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, unless otherwise required or necessary pursuant to a legitimate business purpose outlined herein. At the end of the applicable retention period, we will remove your Personal Data from our databases and will request that our Business Partners remove your Personal Data from their databases. If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further processing of such data. We retain anonymized data indefinitely. Contact Us at info@falconhealth.ai regarding the applicable data retention period for your Personal Data.
NOTE: Once we disclose your Personal Data to third parties, we may not be able to access that Personal Data any longer and cannot force the deletion or modification of any such information by the parties to whom we have made those disclosures. Written requests for deletion of Personal Data other than as described should be directed to info@falconhealth.ai.
How do we protect your Personal Data?
Falcon Health is committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of your Personal Data. We use a combination of reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security controls to maintain the security and integrity of your Personal Data, to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information, and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information in our possession or control that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to you. However, Internet data transmissions, whether wired or wireless, cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot absolutely ensure the security of information you transmit to us. By using the Platform, you are assuming this risk.
Safeguards. The information collected by Falcon Health and stored on secure servers is protected by a combination of technical, administrative, and physical security safeguards, such as authentication, encryption, backups, and access controls. If Falcon Health learns of a security concern, we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective steps, if available, through the email address that you have provided to us or by an in-Platform notification. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive such notices in writing.
You are solely responsible for protecting information entered or generated via the Platform that is stored on your personal device (such as your cell phone or tablet) and/or removable device storage. Falcon Health has no access to or control over your personal device's security settings, and it is up to you to implement any devicelevel security features and protections you feel are appropriate (e.g., password protection, encryption, remote wipe capability, etc.). We recommend that you take any and all appropriate steps to secure any device that you use to access our Platform.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY STEPS THAT WE TAKE, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OR INTEGRITY OF DATA TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NOT BE ACCESSED, DISCLOSED, ALTERED, OR DESTROYED BY BREACH OF ANY OF OUR PHYSICAL, TECHNICAL, OR ADMINISTRATIVE SAFEGUARDS. THEREFORE, WE DO NOT AND CANNOT ENSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OR INTEGRITY OF ANY PERSONAL DATA YOU TRANSMIT TO US, AND YOU TRANSMIT SUCH PERSONAL DATA AT YOUR OWN RISK.
How can You protect Your Personal Data?
Please be advised that we will NEVER send you an email requesting confidential information such as account numbers, usernames, passwords, or social security numbers, and you should NEVER respond to any email requesting such information. If you receive such an email purportedly from Falcon Health, DO NOT RESPOND to the email, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS AND/OR OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS in the email, and notify Falcon Health support at info@falconhealth.ai immediately.
You are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to protect your user ID, password, and other User Account information from disclosure to third parties, and You are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies. You should immediately notify Falcon Health at info@falconhealth.ai if you know of or suspect any unauthorized use or disclosure of your user ID, password, and/or other User Account information, or any other security concern.

California Residents. California residents may request and obtain from us, once a year, free of charge, a list of third parties, if any, to which we disclosed their Personal Data for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year and the categories of Personal Data shared with those third parties. If you are a California resident and wish to obtain that information, please submit your request by sending us an email at info@falconhealth.ai with "California Privacy Rights" in the subject line.
How do You update, correct, or delete Personal Data?
You may change your email address and other contact information by contacting your healthcare provider or sending an email to info@falconhealth.ai. If you need to make changes or corrections to other information, you may send an email to info@falconhealth.ai. Please note that in order to comply with certain requests to limit use of your Personal Data, we may need to terminate your account and your ability to access and use the Platforms, and you agree that we will not be liable to you for such termination or for any refunds of prepaid fees paid by you. You may deactivate your account by sending an email to info@falconhealth.ai.
Although we will use reasonable efforts to do so, you understand that it may not be technologically possible to remove from our systems every record of your Personal Data. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means a copy of your Personal Data may exist in a nonerasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate or remove.
How do You "OPTOUT" of receiving communications from Us?
We will not market third-party services to you without your consent. We will only send emails to you regarding your Falcon Health account and services unless we have your express consent to do otherwise. You can choose to filter these emails using your email client settings, but we do not provide an option for you to opt out of these emails. You can opt out of non-essential emails by sending an email to info@falconhealth.ai.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18 and the Platform is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We request that these individuals not provide Personal Data to Us. If we learn that Personal Data from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you are aware of a user under the age of 13 using the Platform, please contact us at info@falconhealth.ai.
