    We collect this information from you directly, through your pharmacy, your healthcare provider, or healthcare organization. Please only provide information to us that you have permission to give. For example, if you provide personal information about another person to us, you must have that person’s consent to provide it to us.

  • General.

    We may use a variety of technologies that automatically (or passively) collect certain non-personally identifiable information whenever you visit the Site or use certain parts of our Services (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). Non-Personally Identifiable Information may include the browser that you are using, the URL that referred you to our Site, and how and when you use the Services. We may use Non-Personally Identifiable Information for various reasons, such as providing and enhancing the Services for you and other users. In addition, we may collect your IP (internet protocol) address or other unique identifiers that identify the device from which you access the Site or Services. Your IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your device and which our computers use to identify your device. This information does not identify you, but if we were to associate any Non-Personally Identifiable Information or information that identifies your device with your personal information, we will treat it as personal information.

    Cookies.

    A cookie is a data file placed on a computer or other device when it is used to access our Site or Services. Cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. Cookies work by assigning a number to the user that has no meaning outside of the assigning website. If you do not want information to be collected through the use of cookies, your browser allows you to deny or accept the use of cookies. Cookies can be disabled or controlled by setting a preference within your web browser or on your device. If you choose to disable cookies on your device, some features of our Services may not function properly or may not be able to customize the delivery of information to you. You should be aware that we cannot control the use of cookies (or the resulting information) by third-parties, and use of third party cookies is not covered by our Policy.

    At the present time, our Services do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals or similar mechanisms.

    Analytics.

    We use third party analytics partners to collect certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information about how our Services are used. We and our analytics providers use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Services through your computer or mobile device. By using the Services, you consent to the processing of data about you by our analytics partners in the manner and for the purposes set out by this Policy. Currently, our analytics partners include, without limitation, Google Analytics. In order to make sure you understand how our analytics partners handle your non-personally identifiable information and how they interact with our Services, you should visit the pages linked below for more information, as Synchronyx has no ability to control or monitor our analytics partners’ data collection or data use practices with respect to such information.

    Location Information.

    We may collect approximate (but not specific) location information through your use of the TapptTM System. We do not use this information for commercial purposes in any way.

    Web Beacons.

    Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1x1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our Services. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored in a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Web beacons or similar technologies help us better manage content on our Services by informing us what content is effective, count users of the Services, monitor how users navigate the Services, count how many e-mails we sent were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed. We do not tie the information gathered by web beacons to our customers’ personal information.

    Embedded Scripts.

    An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links you click on. We may use embedded scripts in providing the Services. If we do, the code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Site, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

    TapptTM System

    We automatically collect information about your usage of the TapptTM System, such as your activity (for example, when the TapptTM Smart Label was scanned), information about your dose adherence (for example, when you forget a dose or take it late), when you respond to survey questions or interact with the TapptTM system.
