Owl Insights Inc. Privacy Notice

Effective Date: November 14, 2022

Protecting your privacy is important to us.  This Privacy Notice is meant to help you understand how we collect, use and share your personal information and to assist you in exercising the privacy rights available to you.

SCOPE

Mental Health Data Services, Inc. (“Owl”, “Owl Health”, “us, “we”, or “our”) operates https://owl.health (the “Site”).  This Privacy Notice applies to personal information processed by us in our business, including on the Site and other online or offline offerings (collectively, the “Services”).

Our Customers are Health Care Providers who use the Services to provide behavioral health services to their patients.

This Privacy Notice does not apply to your Protected Health Information (“PHI”), such as information about your past, present, or future physical or mental health, that we receive from your Health Care Providers.  PHI is handled differently, and you may have additional rights regarding such information, pursuant to the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”), and other applicable laws.

Accordingly, if you are a patient of a Health Care Provider who is our Customer, your PHI (which we call “Customer Data”) is governed by your Health Care Provider’s terms of service and privacy practices.  Our processing of Customer Data is governed by the contracts that we have in place with our Customers, not this Privacy Notice. Any questions or requests relating to Customer Data should be directed to your Health Care Provider.  We will provide assistance to our Customers to address any concerns you may have, in accordance with the terms of our contracts with them.

This Privacy Notice also does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services. Also, please note that, unless we define a term differently in this Privacy Notice, all capitalized terms used in this Privacy Notice have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions. So, please make sure that you have read, understand and agree to our Terms and Conditions.

This Privacy Notice applies to our operating divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliates, including any additional subsidiary, or affiliate that we may subsequently form.

Cookies, Pixel Tags/Web Beacons, and Analytics Information

We, as well as third parties that provide content or other functionality on the Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Services.  Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices that allow us and our partners to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our Services.

Use of De-identified and Aggregated Information.  We may use personal information and other data about you to create de-identified and aggregated information, such as de-identified demographic information, de-identified location information, information about the computer or device from which you access our Services, or other analyses we create.  If we create or receive personal data that has been de-identified or aggregated, we will not attempt to reidentify it, except to comply with applicable law.

Process Information on Behalf of Our Customers (as processors).  Our Customers may choose to use our Services to process certain data of their own, which may contain personal information. The data that we process through our Services is processed by us on behalf of our Customer, and our privacy practices will be governed by the contracts that we have in place with our Customers, not this Privacy Notice.

If you have any questions or concerns about how such data is handled or would like to exercise your rights, you should contact the person or entity (i.e., the data controller) who has contracted with us to use the Service to process this data. Our Customers control the personal information in these cases and determine the security settings within the account, its access controls and credentials. We will, however, provide assistance to our Customers to address any concerns you may have, in accordance with the terms of our contracts with them.

Notice Regarding Third Party Websites and Social Media Platforms.  Our Services may contain links to other websites, and other websites may reference or link to our website or other Services.  These third-party services are not controlled by us, even if they are accessible through our Services.  We encourage our users to read the privacy policies of each website and application with which they interact.  We do not endorse, screen or approve and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other websites or applications.  Providing personal information to third-party websites or applications is at your own risk.

Our Services may include publicly accessible blogs, forums, social media pages, and private messaging features.  By using such Services, you assume the risk that the personal information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties for any number of purposes.  In addition, social media buttons (such as Twitter or LinkedIn that might include widgets such as the “share this” button or other interactive mini programs) may be on our site.  These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly.  These social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our site.  Your interactions with these features apart from your visit to our site are governed by the privacy notice of the company providing it.
