How Long Does HWS Retain Personal Data?
*/
HWS retains your Personal Data only if necessary and as required for our business operations, the
provision of Services, archival purposes, and/or to satisfy legal requirements. The exact period of
retention will depend on: (i) the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data; (ii) the personal
risk of harm for unauthorized use or disclosure; (iii) the purposes for which we process your Personal
Data, including whether those purposes can be achieved through other means; and (iv) business
operations and legal requirements. In general, HWS strives to retain your data for no longer than 7 years
after your Account is closed (the Retention Period”); however, the above factors may extend or
decrease this Retention Period.
At the end of the applicable Retention Period, we will remove your Personal Data from our databases
and will require that our Business Partners remove any identifiable Personal Data from their databases. If
there is any data that we are unable to delete entirely from our systems for technical reasons, we will
put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further processing of such data. Please note that once
we disclose your Personal Data to third parties, we may not be able to access that Personal Data and
we cannot force the deletion or modification of such information by third parties.
HWS and its Business Partners reserve the right to continue using de-identified data indefinitely, even
after Personal Data has been removed from HWS’s databases. We may continue to disclose de-identified
data to third parties in a manner that does not reveal personal information, as described in this Patient
User Privacy Policy. Our continued use of de-identified data will comport with applicable law.

Additionally, our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of eighteen (18). We request that
these individuals not provide Personal Data to us. If we learn that Personal Data from users under the

and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you are aware of a user
under the age of eighteen (18) accessing the Services or Platform, please contact us at

What Is HWSs Cookie Policy?
Cookies are small files that a web server sends to your computer or device when you visit a web
application that uses cookies to keep track of your activity on that site. Cookies also exist within
applications when a browser is needed to view or display certain content within the application. Cookies
hold a small amount of data specific to a web application, which can later be used to help remember
information you entered in the application (like your email or username), preferences selected, and
movement within the application. We use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, better
serve you with more tailored information, and to facilitate efficient and secure access to the Services.
Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Data. Further, we do not combine the general
information collected through cookies with any other Personal Data to identify you. However, we do use
cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Services and may associate that
information with your User Account (if one exists).

Health Wealth Safe, Inc. Patient User Privacy Policy
Presently, HWS may use cookies for purposes including, but not limited to, analyzing user traffic using an
analytics package, identifying if you are signed into the Services, testing content on the Services, storing
information about your preferences, and recognizing when you return to the Services. In addition, HWS
may also collect information using pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies. This
information may be used in connection with website pages and HTML formatted email messages to,
among other things, track the actions of users and email recipients and compile statistics about usage
and response rates.
How Can Patient Users Opt-Out of Cookies?
If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and reject cookies. If you
enable a do not track signal or otherwise configure your browsers to prevent us from collecting cookies,
you will need to reenter your login information each time you visit the login page. You may also be
unable to take advantage of some of the Services.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Some web browsers may transmit do not track (“DNT”) signals to websites with which the user
communicates. To date, there is no industry standard for DNT, and users cannot know how a given
company responds to a DNT signal they receive from browsers. HWS is committed to remaining apprised
of DNT standards. However, HWS does not support DNT browser settings and does not currently
participate in any DNT frameworks that would allow HWS to respond to signals or other mechanisms
regarding the collection of your personal information.
