Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, GoMo Health does not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share the information that we collect with third parties.
We may, when required, provide participant information to third-party service providers or affiliates who work on our behalf, to provide the relevant program services. Examples of such services include sending texts, analyzing data, and providing customer service. If you do not want GoMo Health to use or disclose your information as described above, you may choose to not participate in the program.
The program uses Google Analytics to analyze how visitors interact with our Site. This service provides non-personally identifiable data including but not limited to data on where visitors came from, what actions they took on our Site and where visitors went when they left our Site.
The program may also de-identify participant information to help ensure that such information cannot reasonably be re-associated or connected with participants. Generally, this information is de-identified and aggregated to be used in statistical analysis to help analyze patterns of use. This Privacy Policy does not limit use or disclosure of de-identified information (i.e., that is not connected with an individual user) in any way, and we reserve the right to use and disclose such information to program partners, sponsors and other third parties at our discretion.
In the event we go through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be among the assets transferred. Program participants acknowledge that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy and that any acquirer will continue to process personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collected Via Technology
As you use our Site, certain message delivery information may be passively collected and stored on GoMo Health’s or our service providers’ server logs, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, and operating system. We also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (“URLs”) to gather information regarding the date and time of your web page visit and the information viewed. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the site. An Internet protocol (or IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to a participant computer when they use the Internet. In some cases, an IP Address may stay the same from browser session to browser session; but if participants use a consumer internet service provider (ISP), your IP Address will likely vary from session to session. The program may use both session Cookies (which expire once the web browser closes) and persistent Cookies (which remain on the computer until deleted) to provide a more personal and interactive program experience. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following the Internet browser’s help file directions. Participants may manage cookie preferences via browser settings (see http://www.aboutcookies.org for more information).
Security
We use technical, administrative and procedural measures in an attempt to safeguard your information from unauthorized access or use. No such measure is ever 100% effective, so we do not guarantee that your personal information will be secure from theft, loss, or unauthorized access or use.
GoMo Health uses industry-leading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology for our Site to keep your personal information as secure as possible.
I understand that text is not considered a secure technology and that the messages I receive may indicate the nature of my condition. Beyond the nature of my condition, GoMo Health will not send information about my health via text as part of this program.
Retention Period
We will retain your information for as long as you are a participant in the program unless there is a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in light of our legal position it is advisable to retain your information.
California “Do Not Track” disclosure
California law (CalOPPA) requires GoMo Health to let you know how we respond to web browser “Do Not Track (DNT) signals.” Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not honor Do Not Track requests at this time.
Children
We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 through our Site. If you are under 13, please do not give us any personal information. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information to us without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at support@mymobilemsg.com.
