Privacy policy

Private Data

On Lose12in30.com, we’ll sometimes ask you for information that identifies you personally (such as your name or email address). We only share Private Data with your permission, or in some standard ways that we tell you about very clearly in our Privacy Policy.

Shared Data

Shared Data is any information you provide on Lose12in30.com that’s not Private Data. This includes any demographic info or real-life experience that you choose to submit (such as your age, gender, medications, conditions, insured, underinsured etc.). We use this shared data to assess your application and to facilitate the administration with our third party service providers.

For example: Female, 61, takes Spiriva to treat COPD. "Spiriva is working for me but it is now not covered by my insurance"

Statistical Data

We share statistics about our users publicly on Lose12in30.com and with trusted Lose12in30.com partners, such as medical researchers and collaborators.

For example: "53% of women aged 35-54 thought this medication was worth it."

What information we collect and how we use it to help you understand and improve your health

About this privacy policy

We know that when you use Lose12in30.com, you’re trusting us with your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information. We want it to be easy for anyone (not just lawyers) to understand.

Unless we define a term in this Privacy Policy, all capitalized words we use here have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use.

Information we collect and information you give us

Information you give us when you use Lose12in30.com might include:

Personally identifying information, such as your name or email address
Demographic information, such as age and gender
Health information, such as medications, conditions or insurance coverage
Other real-life experience information, such as comments about your health or medications or responses to our surveys

For example, if you apply to Lose12in30.com, we’ll collect certain information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address and phone number.

If you provide it to us, we may also collect other information that is not considered personally identifying information because it cannot be used by itself to identify you, such as your gender, age or date of birth.

Information we collect automatically

Like most websites and apps, we automatically collect certain information about how visitors use our services. We do this with automated data collection tools such as server logs, analytics, cookies, and web beacons.

Through the Site: For example, when you use the Site, our server logs store your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visited on Lose12in30.com. Here’s another example: we put a cookie (a marker) on your browser so our website knows that you already completed a survey about insurance coverage so it doesn’t ask you to do it again. Cookies are stored on your hard drive. On the other hand, web beacons are usually embedded on webpages or in e-mails. Like server logs, web beacons can also tell us what pages you visited on the Site.

Location Information: We may also collect and store information about your location by converting your IP address into a rough geo-location or by accessing your mobile device’s GPS coordinates or coarse location if you enable location services on your device. If you do not want us to collect location information, you may disable that feature on your mobile device.

Some third-party service providers that we engage (including third-party analytics service providers) may also use their own automated data collection tools, including placing their own cookies on your hard drive. Note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to these third parties.
