We may share your Information in the following circumstances:

· Disclosures to Service Providers and Alzheimer's Care Partner Partners

With the limited exceptions discussed in this Privacy Policy, we do not share your Information with third parties, unless you tell us to.

With Third Parties That Provide Requested Benefits: As stated above, we primarily share your information, including your Information, with third parties for the purpose of providing certain benefits that you request. Specifically, at your direction, we will submit your information to the appropriate third parties for purposes of filling your third-party service requests. For example, if you are interested in transportation or caregiver navigation services, then we will share your information, at your direction, with third parties that work with Alzheimer's Care Partner to provide transportation or caregiver navigation services, which may fit your particular needs. The third party, not Alzheimer's Care Partner, will evaluate your eligibility to obtain service from its program. The third party’s use of your Information will be governed by the third party’s own terms of service and privacy policy, not Alzheimer's Care Partner’s; Alzheimer's Care Partner does not have any control over your information once it is submitted to a third party for receipt of benefits. While we work with reputable third-party service providers, we cannot represent how any of them will use your Information in connection with their services, and recommend that you review their terms of use and privacy policies before requesting their services.

To Perform Services on Our Behalf: We may hire vendor companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as payment processing, sending postal and electronic mail, providing technical support, and to assist us in providing the products and services that you request from us. We only provide those service providers with the information necessary to perform the requested service.

· Additional Disclosures with Your Consent

With your consent outside of this Privacy Policy, we may share your Information with third parties or allow them to collect information from the Site in some ways not specifically described in this Privacy Policy.

· Safety, Security and Compliance with Law

Your Information and the contents of your communications through the Site may be disclosed to third parties as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, or when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, report improper or unlawful activity, or respond to a government request. ‍

· Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies

Except where prohibited by law or precluded by contract, we may share your Information with any subsidiaries or other affiliated companies under the control of, or under common control with, Alzheimer's Care Partner for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

· Sale, Merger or Similar Transaction

We may share your Information in connection with any proposed or actual merger, reorganization, a sale of some or all our assets, a financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or to a receiver, trustee or successor in interest in bankruptcy, in which case such company may continue to process your Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy (except where prohibited by law) or otherwise with your consent.

Your Choices Regarding Our Communications with You

In accordance with applicable law, we will offer you the opportunity to opt out of certain communications, such as, for example, communications that deal with any of our products or services you are not using but that we think might be of interest to you. Where applicable, you can opt out by emailing us at customersupport@alzheimerscarepartner.health. However, even if you opt out of such communications, you may continue to receive other transactional, relationship, and/or administrative communications from or through Alzheimer's Care Partner that are important or related to your Alzheimer's Care Partner account or the products and services you are using (such as, for example, a notice that there has been a change in one of your services or a change to this Privacy Policy). Please also note that you, not Alzheimer's Care Partner, have control over certain settings for how communications such as emails and push notifications are displayed on your devices, and the settings you select will affect how Alzheimer's Care Partner’s communications are displayed.

We Do Not Control the Privacy Policies of Third Parties

Our Site may contain links that enable you to visit or use other third-party websites, resources or programs. However, we do not have control over the other websites, resources, or programs that you choose to visit, so this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected or that you provide while visiting such other websites, resources, or programs. You should refer to the privacy policies, if any, applicable to the other websites, resources, or programs.

Data Security and Integrity

The security of your Information is important to us. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We also maintain procedures to help ensure that such data is reliable for its intended use and is accurate, complete and current.

Managing and Updating Information

To access, review, update and/or delete certain Information, you may contact us at customersupport@alzheimerscarepartner.health and you may update and/or delete certain Information by logging into the Site and updating your account. We will respond to your request within a reasonable and lawful timeframe under the circumstances of your request. Please remember, however, if we have already disclosed some of this Information to third parties, we cannot access that Information any longer and cannot force the deletion or modification of any such Information by the parties to whom we have made those disclosures. Additionally, if you modify certain Information on our Site that we received from a third party, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to share the updated information back to that third party. As a result, you will need to provide updated information to those third parties if you want to be sure they have your updates.

Certain Information is necessary in order for us to provide the Site and our related Services; therefore, if you delete such necessary Information you will not be able to use the Site or receive our Services. If you wish to have your account deactivated, you may contact us at customersupport@alzheimerscarepartner.health. After we receive your request, within a reasonable timeframe under the circumstances of your request, we will deactivate your account; provided, however, that: 1) Alzheimer's Care Partner (and our third-party vendors acting on our behalf), our Alzheimer's Care Partner Partners, and any other applicable third parties may continue to use and share for any purpose de-identified data and aggregated or combined data developed using your Information that has been de-identified and 2) Alzheimer's Care Partner may continue to use Information in your deactivated account for compliance with applicable regulations. Also, please note that even though you may deactivate your account or request the deletion of your Information, we may be required (by law or otherwise, such as to prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or troubleshoot problems) to retain this information, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements. We may also keep a copy of your Information to protect our legal rights, such as in connection with your use of the Site or your agreement to our Terms of Service, as permitted or required by applicable law.
