Codex Health Privacy Policy

Last updated Aug. 21st 2021

Company Information
Codex Health, Inc.
privacy@codexhealth.com

Codex Health provides Allie, a consumer facing mobile application, to help you manage your health and wellness by collecting health-related information from you and providing you with insights and support materials about your conditions. In addition, if you so choose, Codex Health can also share this data with your healthcare provider to facilitate their monitoring of your health and their management of your care plan. Our goal at Codex Health is to help consumers manage their health conditions through a continuum of care, starting outside the boundaries of traditional healthcare providers and linking seamlessly into the healthcare provider at the discretion of the consumer. Codex Health operates as the custodian of the consumer’s health data, and will facilitate portability of this data between healthcare providers based on the decision of the consumer.

This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that we receive through our website located at www.codex.health (the “Site”), and our mobile application, Allie, (the “App”) (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services, or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services.

Revisions to this Privacy Policy. Any information that is collected via our Services is covered by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll notify you of those changes by posting them within the Services or by sending you an email or other notification, and we’ll update the “Last Updated Date” above to indicate when those changes become effective.

Scope. This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our Services including without limitation, site visitors, account holders, and App users (all such users of the Services including account holders and non-account holders collectively referred to as “Users”).

What Information We Collect.

When you sign up to create an account with Codex Health, including through the App, we collect and retain certain information that can be used to identify you (“Personal Data”), including, in the case of account creation: your full name, date of birth, phone number, email address, height, weight, and gender.

Similarly if you already use a separate health or fitness tracking service (e.g. Apple Health), you may choose to enable that service or app to send to Codex information that you previously provided to them, including but not limited to, blood type, gender, date of birth, height, weight, and existing health conditions. You may also voluntarily provide information about yourself when you contact us for support or other inquiries, or provide feedback about the Services.

Location Information. When you use our Services, we may collect and store information about your location by converting your IP address into a rough geo-location or, when interacting with our mobile application, by accessing your mobile device’s GPS or location services, which may provide more precise geolocation information, if you enable location services on your device.
