Website privacy policy
Effective as of January 1, 2025
This Website Privacy Policy is part of the Website Terms of Use.
It describes the kinds of information Simple Harmony collects from website visitors and users and how we use and protect that information. This Policy applies to all visitors and users of the Site including the general public, Simple Harmony members, Simple Harmony-affiliated clinic or hospital patients, and participants in Health and Well-being programs that Simple Harmony administers.
This Policy also describes how we manage and protect both Health Information and Personal Information (defined below) that you give us through this website, how we use and share that information, and how you may exercise your rights with regard to your Health Information and Personal Information.
By using the Site, you are consenting to our collecting, using, and disclosing your Health and Personal Information as described in this Policy. Please read this Policy carefully and do not continue to use this Site if you do not agree to have your information treated in this way.
Changes to this Website Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time without prior notice. Changes apply to the information collected from the date we post the revision, as well as to information we already hold. We encourage you to visit and review this page frequently so you are aware of any changes since your last visit to the website.
Health Information
"Health Information" is information that (a) identifies you as a current or former Simple Harmony patient and (b) that relates to your health or condition, your health care services, payment, or coverage for those services.
Personal Information
This Policy applies to "Personal Information." Personal information means specific facts that can be used to identify or contact you as an individual. Personal Information includes, for example, your name, home address and phone number, birthdate, your sex, email address, and other information that is unique to you that may not directly relate to your health.
"Personal Information" does not include information that identifies a computer used to access this site because that information doesn't identify the person using the computer. (See the section below about "Cookies and other information about your visit.")
We collect your Personal Information through this website only if you provide it to us, and use it as provided in this Website Privacy Policy. For example, we collect Personal Information you submit when you register with this Site, make a payment, sign up for a newsletter, or ask us question.
Children under the age of thirteen
This Site is not intended for children or minors under the age of thirteen years without the permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe that a child has submitted Personal Information on or through this Site without the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian, please contact us using the information provided below.
Security of Health Information and Personal Information
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your Health Information and Personal Information and prevent unauthorized access when the information is in our control. We update these safeguards from time to time to make them more effective, but no safeguard can be 100% effective.
In addition, you should remember that no system can perfectly prevent an unauthorized person from intentionally viewing information while it is in transit over the Internet or via email. Therefore, Simple Harmony cannot and does not guarantee the confidentiality or security of information you send to us via the Internet or by email.

Cookies and other information about your visit
We collect information about visitors to our site using "cookies" and other technologies that help us to make our site more useful to our visitors. These technologies place a small text or graphic file on your computer's browser directory or program data subfolder that identifies the computer being used to visit the site. A cookie is not Personal Information because it does not identify who the visitor is, only the computer that is being used to visit the site.
A cookie sends us information automatically through your web browser. This information typically includes your computer's IP address (that is, a series of numerals that identifies any computer on the Internet), the identity of the computer's internet service provider, the name and version of the computer's operating system and browser, the date and time of the visit, the pages visited, and how long the visitor stayed on each page.
Most major websites, including this one, use this information to help visitors navigate the site more successfully. They also provide information about visitors' behavior on the site that help us improve the site and our marketing programs and to customize the online experience to the users' needs. We may also use this information to tailor advertisements and offers to you, both on our websites and on other websites. We may combine this website information with Personal Information you've given us in other ways in order to improve your overall experience with Simple Harmony.
If you do not want to have cookies placed on your computer, you can set your web browser to not accept them, or you can delete them manually. You should remember, however, that disabling cookies may limit your ability to use some features of this website. If you would like more information about these practices and to know your choices about not having this information used by ad servers, visit the Network Advertising Initiative. Some ad servers allow you to opt out of anonymous data collection through the use of cookies. To do so, you must opt out of such data collection with each individual site. You can opt out of cookies for several ad servers by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative gateway opt-out site. At that site you can also review the privacy policies of those ad servers.
Note that we do not currently respond to web browser "do not track" or "DNT" signals that you can set through your browser settings. These signals are intended to give website visitors the opportunity to opt out of our collecting of information about the visitors' online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. However, because there is currently no common definition of what such signals are and no industry-accepted standards for how such signals should be interpreted; we do not promise to abide by DNT signals.
