SOME IMPORTANT VOCABULARY

Although not itself a contract, this Privacy Statement is an important document that explains how we address some of our legal obligations, and your related legal rights, involving personal information. We’ll use this section to let you know about some words that have special meanings whenever you see them in this Statement. When we reference “this Statement”, “this Privacy Statement” and “our Statement”, we mean the Privacy Statement you are reading now. Wherever we say “Search Functional Medicine”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, we mean The Dr Z Functional Medicine Network, LLC. We use the words “you” and “your” to mean you, the reader, and other visitors to our online and mobile resources who are, in all cases, over the age of 18, or otherwise have verifiable parental consent to view this page. This age requirement is discussed in more detail later in this Statement here.

When we talk about our “online and mobile resources”, we mean all websites, applications, portals or other features we operate to allow you to interact with us and our systems, as well as any mobile apps we’ve created and distributed to let you interact with the content we provide. An “affinity action” is when you “follow” us, “like” us or take a similar or analogous action on our external social media presence.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, when we refer to “personal information”, we mean any information, data or data element, whether in electronic or other form, that, alone or in combination with other elements, can be used to distinguish, trace, or discover your identity. Certain data privacy laws include specific elements or defined terms for what they consider to be personal information (sometimes also referred to as “personal data”). Where such data privacy laws apply, then the term “personal data” includes the specific elements and defined terms required by such laws.

WHEN AND TO WHOM DOES THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT APPLY?

Our online and mobile resources collect personal information from: (1) visitors to, and users of, our online and mobile resources; and (2) those who may interact with our ads and content displayed on third party sites. This Statement applies to our processing and sharing of personal information collected from the data subjects listed in the previous sentence. If we have legal obligations to other categories of data subjects, such as our employees, supply chain partners or vendors, we provide them with separate legally required notices in confidential contracts, policies, and other similar documents.

HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We collect and otherwise obtain your personal information in the following ways: (1) when you choose to give it to us by voluntary submission; (2) through automatic collection by technical means when you visit or use our online and mobile resources; and (3) when it is provided to us by external sources such as marketing companies, advertising companies, social media companies and/or companies that provide services on our behalf who, in each case, may have previously and separately collected elements of your personal information without our involvement and then shared it with us to us as part of a service for which we engaged that source.

Voluntary Submissions. Here are some of the ways you voluntarily give us your personal information:

  • Creating Accounts - If we make an account creation feature available you will provide us your email address and other identifiers.
  • Requesting our Services – You may provide information to us when it is needed to provide our services to you, such as when you use our applications.
  • Making Purchases – If you choose to make a purchase through our online and mobile resources, we will collect your name, email, phone number, residential address, and other information you provide to fulfil the order.
  • Signing up for Newsletters – Similar to account creation, we collect some voluntarily submitted information if you sign up to receive a newsletter or other informational or marketing material we publish.
  • Registering for Events – When you register for events or programs we may host, you will be submitting certain identifiers. If the event requires a fee, we may also ask you to submit credit card or other financial information.
  • Sending Emails and Texts – If you choose to send us an email from our “contact us” link or a similar link, you will be giving us your email address and any other personal information that may be in your message or attached to it. The same is true if you send us a text message.
  • Using Community Features – Some of our online and mobile resources may offer social media-like community features letting users post messages and comments, and/or upload image or other files and materials. If you choose to make use of these features, the information you post, including your screen name and any other personal information, will be in the public domain and may not covered/protected by this Statement.

Automatic Collection. When you visit or use our online and mobile resources, information about your internet/electronic activity is automatically collected through your browser via tracking technologies, such as “cookies.” As just about everyone knows by now, cookies are small text files downloaded onto your computer or mobile device. Cookies allow us to collect your IP address and recognize your computer or mobile device and store some information about your preferences for using our online and mobile resources or past actions.

If you access our online and mobile resources from a phone or other mobile device, the mobile services provider may transmit to us certain information such as uniquely identifiable mobile device information. That, in turn, allows us to collect mobile phone numbers and associate them with the mobile device identification information.

External Sources. We may work with companies who provide us with data, including personal information, so that we can tailor our services to audiences who have the most interest. We also may work with digital advertising and marketing companies to provide you with ads that meet your interests and that enhance your experience with us. These ads may be displayed on websites or device applications operated by third parties. These third parties collect information with their own cookies, pixels, and related tracking technology and then provide that information to us. We are not responsible for their data collection practices.

Further, we maintain a presence on one or more external social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. We may allow the community features of our online and mobile resources to connect with, or be viewable from, that external social media presence. Similarly, our online and mobile resources may contain links to other websites or apps controlled by third parties. We are not responsible for either the content on, or the privacy practices of, social media platforms, or any third-party sites or apps to which we link. Those apps, sites and platforms are not controlled by us and therefore have their own privacy policies and terms of use. To be clear: neither this Statement nor our Terms apply to our social media presence or any third-party sites or apps to which we may link. That means even if you take an affinity action on our specific social media presence, and identifiers about you are automatically collected and given to us as a result, that collection and transfer is governed by the privacy policies and other terms of the applicable social media platform and are not our responsibility.

If you have questions about how those apps, sites, and platforms collect and use personal information, you should carefully read their privacy policies and contact them using the information they provide. In addition, certain coalitions of advertisers allow consumers to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from members of those coalitions. You can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance and Network Advertising Initiative to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from members of these coalitions. You will need to exercise these opt outs on each browser on each device for which you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising.

WHAT TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

The categories of personal information we have collected from visitors and users of our online and mobile resources in the previous 12 months, and may collect from you, are as follows:

We use and partner with different types of entities to assist with our daily operations and to manage our online and mobile resources.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Certain browsers and plug-ins allow users to send signals such as Do Not Track (“DNT”) or Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). While we do not respond to DNT signals, we do honor GPC signals as a valid request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information where required by applicable law.

When we receive a GPC signal, we will process it as a request to opt-out of any sale or sharing of your personal information that occurs via cookies or similar tracking technologies on our website. Please note that this opt-out mechanism applies only to the specific browser or device on which the signal is sent, and you may need to adjust your settings on each browser or device you use.

Advertising cookies may share your information with third parties, including advertisers and social networks. If you previously provided information to us, a unique identifier in the cookie may associate the information collected via the cookie with your information. We may share aggregate cookie and tracking information that does not directly identify you with third parties.

Some content on the Website may be provided by third parties that use cookies in conjunction with other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our online and mobile resources, which enables them to provide targeted advertising to you. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. We may display certain advertising offers on our online and mobile resources or allow service providers, advertisers, ad networks, or other third parties to advertise on our online and mobile resources. Additionally, we may use third-party software to serve ads on our online and mobile resources, implement email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Federal law imposes special restrictions and obligations on commercial website operators who direct their operations toward, and collect and use information from children under the age of 13. We take those age-related requirements very seriously, and, consistent with them, do not intend for our online and mobile resources to be used by children under the age of 18, and certainly not by anyone under the age of 13. Moreover, we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 18. If we become aware that anyone under the age of 18 has submitted personal information to us via our online and mobile resources, we will delete that information and not use it for any purpose whatsoever. We encourage parents and legal guardians to talk with their children about the potential risks of providing personal information over the Internet.

We strongly encourage parents and legal guardians to talk with their children about the potential risks of providing personal information over the Internet.

SUBMITTING INFORMATION FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

We control and operate the online and mobile resources from within the United States of America (the “U.S.”). Information collected through the online and mobile resources may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Search Functional Medicine or its affiliates or service providers maintain facilities. To the extent applicable, we rely on the latest revision of the standard contractual clauses promulgated by the European Commission for transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland to our online and mobile resources within the U.S.

THE EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION

When we collect personal information from individuals located in the European Union (“EU”), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom (“UK”), those individuals have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). This section of our statement is used to allow us to fulfill our GDPR obligations and explain your GDPR rights. For purposes of this section, the words “you” and “your” mean only such individuals located in the EU, Switzerland, or the UK.

Our Collection, Use, and Sharing Practices

Please review the Sections titled “How Do We Collect Personal Information?” and “What Types of Personal Information Do We Collect?” to understand the scope of purposes and the sources from which we collect personal information. Similarly, you can find information about the categories of third parties with which we may share your personal information and why we share it in the Sections titled “How Do We Use the Personal Information We Collect?” and “When/With Whom Do We Share Personal Information?” We do not use your personal information for automated decision making, including profiling.

Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Information

Our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information with your consent or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, such as to contact you about products and services you may be interested in. We use the personal information you provide to provide our online and mobile resources to you and generally to operate and support our online and mobile resources. In certain circumstances where our legal basis of processing is for performance of a contract with you, please be aware that, in those circumstances, where you do not provide personal information which is required by us, we will not be able to provide the products and services under our contract with you or may not be able to comply with a legal obligation on us. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. If we happen to obtain your consent to process your personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time as stated here.

Exercising Your Rights

You may exercise the rights available to you under the GDPR, including the right to object to the processing of your personal information, as follows:

  • Access – the right to obtain a confirmation that your personal information is being processed, access to your personal information (if we are in fact processing it), other information about the processing of your personal information (most of which is set forth in this Notice) and a copy of the personal information we are processing.
  • Rectification – the right to have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate, and depending on the purposes of processing, you may also have incomplete personal information completed.
  • Erasure – also known as the “right to be forgotten,” the right to request your personal information be deleted under certain circumstances such as if it is no longer needed for the original purpose it was collected for or if you withdrew your consent. The right of erasure does not apply under limited circumstances including if the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information or our compliance with a legal obligation.
  • Restrict processing – the right to restrict processing of your personal information under certain circumstances such as if you contest the accuracy of the personal information (and only for so long as it takes to verify that accuracy), the processing is unlawful and you have requested restricting the processing rather than erasure, or if we no longer need the personal information but you need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
  • Portability – the right to receive the personal information you provided to us (and not any other information) under limited circumstances such as if the basis for processing the personal information was consent or necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or the processing is carried out by automated means.
  • Automated Processing – to the extent applicable, you have the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling.
  • Object to processing – the right to object to the processing of your personal information under the following circumstances:
    • Legitimate Interests - if the basis for which the processing occurs is in our legitimate interests or in the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. If you object, we will stop processing your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or we require the personal information to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
    • Direct Marketing – If the processing is for direct marketing purposes.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact information listed below; however, we may need to request additional information from you to verify your identity before granting your request. We will respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise such rights in accordance with the GDPR. We have the ability to charge a reasonable fee for administrative costs of providing the personal information to you in situations where the request is unfounded or excessive (due to its repeated nature), or in the alternative, we may refuse to act on the request in those situations.

Lodging a Complaint

You have the right to complain to your data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. Please contact your local data protection authority for more information. Contact information for data protection authorities can be found below.

Retaining Your Personal Information

We will store and retain your personal information in accordance with applicable law and as long as necessary to carry out the purposes described in this Section in accordance with our internal data retention procedures. The criteria used to determine the retention periods include:

  • how long the personal information is needed in connection with the applicable purposes for which we use it;
  • the type of personal information collected; and
  • whether we are subject to a legal, contractual or similar obligation to retain the personal information (e.g., mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve personal information relevant to an investigation, or personal information that must be retained for the purposes of litigation or disputes).

International Transfers

We may disclose your personal information for the purposes described herein to recipients (including affiliates) located in countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland, and the UK, including in the U.S., which may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in the EEA, Switzerland, and/or the UK. We have entered into EU standard contractual clauses (“Model Contracts”) for transfers of personal information. Where we transfer personal information to recipients outside of the EEA, Switzerland, and/or the UK, we will enter into a Model Contract with the recipient or seek assurances from the recipient that another appropriate safeguard is in place to protect the personal data transferred. You can request further details in relation to international transfers, including a copy of the Model Contracts, by contacting us at privacy@thedrz.com.

You may still receive materials for a period of time after you unsubscribe. Unsubscribing or changing affinity actions or other submissions or requests made on our external social media presence, will likely require that you do so directly on that applicable social media platform as we do not control their procedures.

We reserve the right to change or update this Statement from time to time. Please check our online and mobile resources periodically for such changes since all information collected is subject to the Statement in place at the time of collection. We will indicate the effective/amendment date at the beginning of this Statement.
