As a connected community member, you may feel empowered to manage your own conditions more effectively, find additional support or knowledge, or even provide support to other patients, caregivers, friends, or family members impacted by the same or a similar condition.</p> 366 <p>Our aim is to make these benefits available to as many affected individuals as possible. You can potentially help us reach the right people by allowing us to use your data in a non-directly identifying and secure manner.</p> 367 368 <h3>What does this mean and how can my data help?</h3> 369 <p>Many of our condition-specific communities rely on revenue received from health and pharma advertising partners. These partners are interested in delivering information online to relevant audiences about health conditions, disease states, and potential treatment options and therapeutics. We never share information that directly identifies you or any health diagnosis you may have received. By masking your identity with a randomized ID and focusing on other characteristics that do not directly identify you â such as your age, gender, which communities you may visit or resources you are interested in â we may be able to reach other individuals who may have similar characteristics or interests. For more information on how we collect, anonymize and process your information, see our Privacy Policy.</p> 370 <p>Allowing us to use your data in this way helps keep our communities free for everyone, may help us reach others that may be impacted by a condition and potentially help improve health outcomes beyond our direct membership. It also may enable us to connect you with information you find relevant while visiting other websites.</p> 371 <p>We believe that health-related advertising and engagement, when delivered responsibly and transparently, can enhance awareness and improve outcomes. Thatâs why we designed our privacy program around trust, transparency, and respect for your rights in your personal information, including sensitive personal information related to health.</p> 372 <p>While you are welcome to opt-out at any time, we ask that you consider allowing us to use your data as described above to try and help others. And because we believe in protecting the privacy of our individual members, any and all of the data shared by MyHealthTeam with other parties cannot be tracked back to you or any specific individual. This data can help us better understand the informational needs of certain conditions, conduct research that can improve health outcomes for patients beyond our membership, and keep all of our communities free for everyone to access.</p> 373 374 <h3>Your Rights Under State Privacy Laws</h3> 375 <p>Under certain U.S. state privacy and consumer health data laws, you have the right to:</p> 376 <ul> 377 <li>Opt-out of the <strong>sale</strong> of personal information</li> 378 <li>Opt-out of the <strong>sharing</strong> of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising</li> 379 <li>Opt-out of the <strong>use of personal information for targeted advertising</strong>, including advertising based on health-related interests</li> 380 <li><strong>Access</strong> personal information we hold about you</li> 381 <li><strong>Correct</strong> inaccurate personal information</li> 382 <li>Account <strong>deletion</strong>, subject to applicable legal exceptions</li> 383 </ul> 384 385 <h3>How to Exercise Your Privacy Choices</h3> 386 <p>
386If you are a member or a caregiver and wish to exercise your privacy rights â including opting out of targeted advertising or submitting a request to access, correct or delete your personal information you can <a href="#osano-dsar-form">click here</a> or email us at: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p> 387 388 <h3>Privacy Requests</h3> 389 <p>MyHealthTeam maintains personal information in connection with operating its community platforms, including information provided directly by members during account creation and use of the Services.</p> 390 391 <div id="osano-dsar-form"></div>
