CAREFLUENT, INC.

PRIVACY POLICY

 

Carefluent, Inc. (“Carefluent”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. We have prepared this Privacy Policy to describe to you our practices regarding the Personal Data (defined below) we collect from (i) visitors to our website (“Visitors”), which is located

at www.mycarefluent.com (“Site”) and (ii) Careseekers, Care Companions, and other third parties, and Visitors using our Services (collectively “Users”). Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning given in our Terms of Use.

1. Note about children

We do not intentionally gather Personal Data from Users who are under the age of 18. If a User under the age of 18 submits Personal Data to us and we learn that the Personal Data is the information of a User under the age of 18, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us. We will delete such information from our files as soon as reasonably possible.

2. Note to Users outside of the United States

Your Personal Data may be processed in the country in which it was collected and in other countries, including the United States, where laws regarding processing of Personal Data may be less stringent than the laws in your country.

3. Data Collection

“Personal Data” means any information which, either alone or in combination with other information we hold about you, identifies you as an individual, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, email address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.

    • We may also collect Personal Data, at such other points in our Site that state that Personal Data is being collected.

  2. Information Collected via Technology

 

  1. To make our Site and Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
  2. We also use cookies and URL information to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the information for which you searched and which you viewed. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a web site. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
  3. We may also use (i) third party tracking services, such as Google Analytics, to track and analyze Anonymous Data from Users of our Site and Services and (ii) location-enabled services for Care Companions to facilitate time-card data. If you use the location-enabled services, Carefluent may receive information about your actual location (such as GPS signals sent by a mobile device or via your web browser when on the Site).
  4. Information Collected from You About Others

 

    1. Visitors to our Site can invite other people to become Care Companions or Careseekers by sending invitation emails via our Site. We store the email addresses that are provided to us and will associate those email addresses with the Visitor’s account. We do not currently sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations (unless the email address is used in registration by a new Carefluent Care Companion or Careseeker) but we may do so in the future. Recipients of invitations may unsubscribe by contacting us at support@mycarefluent.com to request that

we refrain from sending them emails or to have us delete their information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you are using the Services as an employee or contractor of an agency (an “Agency Care Companion”, who are considered Care Companions for purposes of this Privacy Policy), the agency may share certain Personal Data with Carefluent, such as: name, date of birth, background check information and social security number. In all such cases, we may add this information to the information we have already collected from you via our Site in order to provide and improve the Services.
