Information that is Automatically Collected
We and third parties may use automated means to collect information about you, your computer or other device that you used to access the Services, and your use of the Services. These automated means include common technologies such as cookies, tokens, tags, web logs, web beacons, or similar technologies. These technologies help us analyze trends, administer the Services, track Users’ movements around the Services, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and otherwise provide you with relevant content (e.g., by gathering your zip or postal code). We may receive reports on an individual as well as aggregated basis based on the use of these technologies by Rally, and any third party vendors acting on Rally's behalf.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings on your device. Our Services may use HTTP cookies, HTML5 cookies, and other types of local storage. Cookies may include “single-session cookies” that generally record information during only a single visit to a website and then are erased, and “persistent” cookies that are generally stored on a computer unless or until they are deleted or are set to expire. You may disable cookies by adjusting your browser preferences at any time. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of our Services.
Our cookies, tokens and similar technologies (collectively, "Tracking Technologies") also are used for administering the Services, including without limitation, for authentication, to remember Users’ settings, to customize the content and layout of the Services for Users, to contact you about the Services, and to improve our internal operations, the content of our Services and our services. Users may be able to control the use of, or reject or disable, some Tracking Technologies at the individual browser level. If you reject or disable Tracking Technologies, you may still use our Services, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Services may be limited. We use Tracking Technologies to identify your device and keep track of your Internet session with our Services. Using these Tracking Technologies, we may automatically end your session on our Services after a period of inactivity (as determined by us in our sole discretion). We also use Tracking Technologies that allow us to recognize your device when you return to the Services within a certain period of time (as determined by us in our sole discretion) and automatically log you back into your account with us. UNLESS YOU AFFIRMATIVELY LOG OUT of your account PRIOR TO YOUR SESSION ENDING (whether by you or by us), YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY LOGGED BACK IN THE NEXT TIME YOU OR ANY USER OF YOUR DEVICE VISITS OUR SITE within the period of time determined by us. If you do not wish to be automatically logged back in when you (or someone using your device) next initiate a session with our Services (using the same device that is being used for your current session), you should log out of your account (i) prior to ending your session, or (ii) if you will be inactive on our Services for more than a few minutes.
Web Logs
In conjunction with the gathering of data through cookies, Web servers may log records such as your device type, operating system type, device advertising identifier, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. The Web server logs also may record the address of the Web page that referred you to our Services, the IP address (and associated city and state or province for the IP address) of the device you use to connect to the Internet, and data about your interaction with our Services, such as which pages you visit.
Pixels/Web Beacons
To control which Web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags on our Web pages called "Web beacons" (or “pixels”), which are files that link Web pages to particular Web servers and their cookies. We may use pixels for security and fraud-prevention purposes. We also may include Web beacons in e-mail messages to record whether an email has been opened or whether certain links in such email have been clicked. We or third parties also may send instructions to your device using JavaScript or other computer languages to store or gather the sorts of data described above and other details about your interactions with the Services. We may use third party pixels on the Services’ registration and login pages. For example, we may use these pixels to assess your progress in registering for our Services. If you start but fail to complete the registration process, we may also use third party pixels to deliver reminders to complete your registration. We may also use these pixels to deliver notices about new and existing features on our Services. These reminders and notices may appear on other websites, and third parties who provide the pixels may use the information obtained from pixels for their business purposes. To opt out of such use of third party pixels for advertising, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
Online Analytics
We may use third-party web analytics services on our Services, such as Google or Adobe Analytics. These service providers use the technology described in this “Information that is Automatically Collected” section to help us analyze how Users use the Services, including by noting the third-party Web site from which Users arrive. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. You can also visit the Adobe Digital Marketing Suite to "Opt-Out" of data aggregation and analysis.
Additional Technologies on Rallyhealth.com and Other Websites
Apart from our Wellness Tools and Benefit Tools, respectively, our corporate and other websites such as RallyHealth.com may contain additional technologies such as those described here. Rallyhealth.com includes social media features, such as the Facebook button, and widgets, such as the Share This button or interactive mini-programs that run on the website. These features may collect your Internet Protocol address, which page you are visiting on the Rallyhealth.com website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. When you engage with our content on or through social media services or other third party platforms, plug-ins, integrations or applications, you may allow us to have access to certain information in your profile on those services, platforms, plug-ins, integrations or applications. For a description of how social media services and other third party platforms, plug-ins, integrations or applications handle your information, please refer to their respective privacy policies and terms of use, which may permit you to modify your privacy settings.
On Rallyhealth.com and other websites, we may also allow third party service providers to use cookies and other technologies to collect information and to track browsing activity over time and across third party websites such as web browsers used to read our websites, which websites are referring traffic or linking to the websites, and to deliver targeted advertisements to you on third party websites. We do not control these third party technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of third parties using such technologies.

Collection of information across personal devices and applications
Sometimes, we (or our service providers) may use the information we collect—for instance, log-in credentials, IP addresses, hashed email addresses, and unique mobile device identifiers—to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computers), or work with providers that do this, in order to better tailor content, features, and advertising (for Rally Health on other sites), and provide you with a seamless experience across the devices you use to access our Services.

How We Protect Your Information
The security of your Information is important to us. We follow security standards to protect the Information submitted to us from loss, interference, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, both during transmission and once we receive it. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the Information that we collect, process and store and the current state of technology. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We also maintain procedures to help ensure that such data is reliable for its intended use and is accurate, complete and current. If you have any questions about data security and integrity on our Services, you can contact us at info@werally.com.
Be Sure to Log Off When Using Public or Third Party Computers
As described above, we use Tracking Technologies that automatically log you back into your account with us unless you affirmatively log out of your account prior to your session ending (or prior to our Services "timing out" – i.e. our ending your session automatically after a period of inactivity as determined by us in our sole discretion). If you log into the Services using a public computer or device, or a computer or device that belongs to or is shared with another person, you should affirmatively log out of your account. Otherwise, the next user of that computer or device may be able to access your account and your Information in your account if your session has not ended.
Your Use of Persistent Login
If you choose to use a persistent log-in in your account, for example, by having our Services remember your user email address and/or password, others may be able to access Information through your device. If you are concerned about the unauthorized use or disclosure of Information via persistent login, you should elect to not use the persistent log-in feature.

We may disclose your Information in the following circumstances.

To the extent not prohibited by law or precluded by Rally’s agreements with the applicable Rally Partner, Rally, and any third party vendors acting on Rally’s behalf, may use and disclose your Information: (a) as required or permitted by law, including, where applicable, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), which may include disclosures to the applicable Rally Partner; (b) for Research purposes; (c) for purposes of Health Care Operations of the applicable Rally Partner; and (d) for Public Health, as each is defined and in accordance with HIPAA.

Third Party Websites and Services
Our Services may contain links that enable you to visit or use other third party websites, resources or programs.

Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents
This Supplemental Privacy Notice supplements the information in our Privacy Policy above, and applies solely to California residents. It applies to personal information we collect on or through the Services and through other means (such as information collected offline, in person, and over the telephone). It does not apply to personal information not subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act, such as personal information subject to HIPAA.
Summary of Information We Collect
California law requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of personal information that we have collected about California consumers, the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined by applicable law) for which the information was collected, and the categories of parties with whom we share personal information.
Except for the information we collect as a Business Associate and subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (for which we describe our privacy practices above) or other applicable exception, we or our service providers may collect the below categories of information for business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined in applicable law):
- Identifiers and Personal Information Categories (such as account information, name, email address, mailing address, insurance policy number, or phone number);
- Commercial information (such as transaction data);
- Protected Classification Characteristics and Sensitive Information (such as age, gender, marital status, and health information);
- Financial data (such as financial status);
- Internet or other network or device activity (such as IP address, unique device, advertising, and app identifiers, browsing history or other usage data);
- Location information (such as general location, and, if you provide permission, precise GPS location);
- Sensory information (such as audio recordings if you call our customer service);
- Inference data about you; and
- Professional or Employment Information (such as your current employer)
- Other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you (such as user generated content).
We collect the categories of personal information identified above from the following sources: (1) directly from you; (2) through your use of the Services; (3) affiliates; and (4) third parties such as information received from our vendors and other users who, for example, may refer you to use the Services.
As explained above, we collect the categories of personal information identified above for the following business and commercial purposes:
- Providing the Services (e.g., account servicing and maintenance, administering and fulfilling rewards, customer service, facilitating payment, analytics, and communication about the Services);
- Our or our service provider’s operational purposes;
- Auditing consumer interactions on our site;
- Detecting, protecting against, and prosecuting security incidents and fraudulent or illegal activity;
- Bug detection and error reporting;
- Customizing content that we or our service providers display on the Services;
- Improving our existing Services and developing new services (e.g., by conducting research to develop new products or features) ;
- Other uses that advance our commercial or economic interests, such as communicating with you about relevant products and services available to you from third party partners;
- Other uses about which we notify you.
Examples of these types of uses are identified below and discussed more generally in our main privacy policy. We may also use the below categories of personal information for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and we may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular user or device.
We describe our information sharing practices in the Privacy Policy above. In the previous twelve months, we may have shared certain categories of personal information with third parties, as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act, for business purposes. For example, if you direct us in the Benefits Tools to connect you with a provider of benefits, we may share (1) identifiers, such as your name; and (2) other information that identifies you, such as your eligibility to receive advice from a financial or legal advisor.
We only process Sensitive Personal Data to render services or offer products to you, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. California law may permit you to request that we:
- Provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we shared personal information.
- Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
- Delete certain information we have about you.
- Correct certain information we have about you.
- If we use your sensitive information for purposes other than to render services or offer products to you, you will have the right to request that we limit the processing of your sensitive.
You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you (if any). You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a request at info@werally.com or visit https://helpcenter.werally.com/rally/s/contactsupport. You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill your request. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.
California law sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” personal information. Based on the definition of “sell” under California privacy law , we do not believe we engage in such activity and have not engaged in such activity in the past twelve months.
Metrics
California law may require us to compile metrics for the previous calendar year regarding consumer requests and responses. If required by applicable law, we will update this section after the CCPA has been in effect for a calendar year.
