This Policy applies to NAOC Enterprises, LLC. d/b/a The Coan.

 

I. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

We may collect the following kinds of information when you use the Services:

Information you provide directly to us. For certain activities, such as when you register, use our health services, subscribe to our alerts, or contact us directly, we may collect some or all of the following types of information:

​

  • Contact information, such as your full name, email address, mobile phone number, and address;

  • Username and password;

  • Payment information, such as your credit card number, expiration date, and credit card security code;

  • Personal health information, including information about your general health, pregnancy, sexual activity, previous treatments, or health insurance information; and

  • Any other information you voluntarily provide to us.

 

Information we collect automatically. We may collect certain information automatically when you use our Services, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, device and advertising identifiers, browser type, operating system, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before and after using the Services, the date and time of your visit, information about the links you click and pages you view within the Services, and other standard server log information.  We may also collect certain location information when you use our Services, such as your computer’s IP address, your mobile device’s GPS signal, or information about nearby WiFi access points.

​

We may use cookies, pixel tags, local shared objects, and similar technologies to automatically collect this information.  Cookies are small bits of information that are stored by your computer’s web browser.  Pixel tags are very small images or small pieces of data embedded in images, also known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs,” that can recognize cookies, the time and date a page is viewed, a description of the page where the pixel tag is placed, and similar information from your computer or device.  By using the Services, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies.

We may also collect technical data to address and fix technical problems and improve our Services.

Information we obtain from your health care providers and other sources. In connection with the Services, we may collect medical and health information from you or your health care providers.  This may include information about your diagnosis, previous treatments, general health, laboratory and pathology test results and reports, social histories, any family history of illness.  Life Cycle Women’s Health is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time(collectively, “HIPAA”), but health care providers involved in the delivery of the Services may be “covered entities” under HIPAA, and we may in some cases be a “business associate” of a health care provider. HIPAA does not necessarily apply to us or to a provider due to the mere fact that health information is involved in our interactions, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with us or the providers. Any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws.

V. THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING, LINKS, AND CONTENT

Some of the Services may contain links to content maintained by third parties that we do not control.  We allow third parties, including business partners, advertising networks, and other advertising service providers, to collect information about your online activities through cookies, pixels, local storage, and other technologies. These third parties may use this information to display advertisements on our Services and elsewhere online tailored to your interests, preferences, and characteristics.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

​

To opt out of interest-based advertising across browsers and devices from companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative opt-out programs, please visit their respective websites.  You may also be able to opt out of interest-based advertising through the settings within the mobile app or your mobile device, but your opt-out choice may apply only to the browser or device you are using when you opt out, so you should opt out on each of your browsers and devices if you want to disable all cross-device linking for interest-based advertising.  If you opt out, you will still receive ads but they may not be as relevant to you and your interests.
