Introduction:
Happy Care Meds (the “Websites“) located at www.happycaremeds.com (collectively, the ” Platform“). Your access and use of the Platform, any part thereof, or anything associated therewith, including its content (“Content“), any products or services provided through the Platform or otherwise by , and any affiliated website, software or application owned or operated by Happy Care Meds (collectively, including the Platform and the Content, the “Service“) are subject to this Privacy Policy unless specifically stated otherwise. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning as set forth in the Happy Care Meds Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions“).
We are committed to respecting the privacy of users of the Service. We created this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy“) to tell you how Happy Care Meds collects, uses and discloses information in order to provide you with the Service.
By creating, registering, or logging into an account through the Service or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you are acknowledging the most recent version of this Privacy Policy. If we make any changes to our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the “Last updated” date of the Privacy Policy.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an individual other than yourself, you represent that you are authorized by such individual to act on such individual’s behalf and that such individual acknowledges the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Limitations on Use by Minors:
Our Service is generally intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or such older age as may be required by applicable state laws in the jurisdiction in which an individual utilizes the Service. The Service is not designed or intended to attract, and is not directed to, children under eighteen (18) years of age. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information through the Platform from a person under eighteen (18) years of age, we will use reasonable efforts to refrain from further using such personal information or maintaining it in retrievable form.
Please note that we are not required to erase or otherwise eliminate, or enable erasure or elimination of such content or information in certain circumstances, such as, for example, when an international, federal, state, or local law, rule or regulation requires Happy Care Meds to maintain the content or information; when Happy Care Meds maintains the content or information on behalf of your Providers (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) as part of your electronic medical record; when the content or information is stored on or posted to the Site by a third party other than you (including any content or information posted by you that was stored, republished or reposted by the third party); when Happy Care Meds anonymizes the content or information, so that you cannot be individually identified; when you do not follow the aforementioned instructions for requesting the removal of the content or information; and when you have received compensation or other consideration for providing the content or information.
Protected Health Information:
When you subscribe to Happy Care Meds, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Happy Care Meds that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform and the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to Happy Care Meds, including but not limited to, your name, email address, shipping address, phone number and certain transactional information, that we do not consider to be “protected health information” or “medical information”.
However, in using certain components of the Service, you may also provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. Happy Care Meds is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, ” HIPAA“). One or more of the Pharmacies or Medical Groups (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and Happy Care Meds may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Pharmacy or Medical Group. It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Happy Care Meds, the Medical Groups, the Providers, or the Pharmacies. To the extent Happy Care Meds is deemed a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, Happy Care Meds, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Happy Care Meds, the Medical Group or the Providers (” PHI“). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information” ), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws.
By accessing or using any part of the Service, you understand that even if HIPAA does apply to Happy Care Meds, the Medical Groups, the Providers, or the Pharmacies, any information that you submit to Happy Care Meds that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies, is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. For purposes of clarity, information you provide to Happy Care Meds in order to register and set up an account on the Platform, including name, username, email address, shipping address and phone number, are not considered Protected Information.

Cookies, Mobile IDs, and Similar Technologies:
We use cookies, web beacons, mobile analytics and advertising IDs, and similar technologies to operate our websites and online services and to help collect data, including usage data, identifiers, and device information.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed by a website and stored by your browser on your device. A cookie can later be read when your browser connects to a web server in the same domain that placed the cookie. The text in a cookie contains a string of numbers and letters that may uniquely identify your device and can contain other information as well. This allows the web server to recognize your browser over time, each time it connects to that web server.
Web beacons are electronic images (also called single-pixel or clear GIFs) that are contained within a website or email. When your browser opens a webpage or email that contains a web beacon, it automatically connects to the web server that hosts the image (typically operated by a third party). This allows that web server to log information about your device and to set and read its own cookies. In the same way, third-party content on our websites (such as embedded videos, plug-ins, or ads) results in your browser connecting to the third-party web server that hosts that content. We also include web beacons in our email messages or newsletters to tell us if you open and act on them.
Mobile analytics and advertising IDs are generated by operating systems for mobile devices (iOS and Android) and can be accessed and used by apps in much the same way that websites access and use cookies. Our apps contain software that enables us and our third-party analytics and advertising partners to access these mobile IDs.
How do we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies?
We, and our analytics and advertising partners, use these technologies in our websites, apps, and online services to collect personal data (such as the pages you visit, the links you click on, and similar usage information, identifiers, and device information) when you use our services, including personal data about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. This data is used to store your preferences and settings, enable you to sign-in, analyze how our websites and apps perform, track your interaction with the site or app, develop inferences, deliver and tailor interest-based advertising, combat fraud, and fulfill other legitimate purposes.
What controls are available?
There are a range of cookie and related controls available through browsers, mobile operating systems, and elsewhere. See the “Choice and Control of Personal Data” section below for details.

For example, we may disclose your information to:

For example, we use Google Analytics on our website to help us understand how users interact with our website; you can learn how Google collects and uses information at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
Some of the data disclosures to these third parties may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined under the laws of California and other U.S. states. Please see the “Choice and Control” and “California Privacy Rights” sections below for more details.
Please note that some of our services also include integrations, references, or links to services provided by third parties whose privacy practices differ from ours. If you provide personal data to any of those third parties, or allow us to share personal data with them, that data is governed by their privacy statements.
Finally, we may disclose de-identified information in accordance with applicable law.
Choice and control of personal data:
We provide a variety of ways for you to control the personal data we hold about you, including choices about how we use that data. In some jurisdictions, these controls and choices may be enforceable as rights under applicable law.
You can choose whether to receive promotional communications from us by email or SMS. If you receive promotional email or SMS messages from us and would like to stop, you can do so by following the directions in that message or by contacting us as described in the “Contact Us” section below. These choices do not apply to certain informational communications including surveys and mandatory service communications.
There are certain browser and platform controls that may be available to you in order to opt-out from or otherwise control targeted advertising as described below. You can use the opt-out controls offered by the organizations our advertising partners may participate in, which you can access at:
You can use the other cookie or mobile ID controls described below.
These choices are specific to the device or browser you are using. If you access our services from other devices or browsers, you will need take these actions from those systems to set applicable controls for those systems.
Some privacy laws define “sale” broadly to include some the disclosures described in the “Our Disclosure of Personal Data” section above. To opt-out from such data “sales” you can use the Global Privacy Control setting.
Browser or platform controls:
Cookie controls. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our website. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated.
Global Privacy Control: Some browsers and browser extensions support the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) or similar controls that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales and/or targeted advertising, as specified by applicable law. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting or similar control that is recognized by regulation or otherwise widely acknowledged as a valid opt-out preference signal.
Do Not Track: Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Unlike the GPC described above, there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal; therefore, our websites do not respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the GPC, cookie controls, and advertising controls described above.
Mobile advertising ID controls: iOS and Android operating systems provide options to limit tracking and/or reset the advertising IDs.
Email web beacons: Most email clients have settings that allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, including web beacons, which prevents the automatic connection to the web servers that host those images.
Except for the automated controls described above, if you send us a request to exercise your rights or these choices, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may decline requests in certain cases. For example, we may decline requests where granting the request would be prohibited by law, could adversely affect the privacy or other rights of another person, would reveal a trade secret or other confidential information, or would interfere with a legal or business obligation that requires retention or use of the data. Further, we may decline a request where we are unable to authenticate you as the person to whom the data relates, the request is unreasonable or excessive, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Finally, please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to your “personal information,” which is separate from “medical information” or “protected health information.”
Data Retention:
Happy Care Meds may retain your information for as long as it believes necessary; as long as necessary to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes, and/or enforce its agreements; and/or as long as needed to provide you with the products and/or services of the Service or Happy Care Meds. Happy Care Meds may dispose of or delete any such information at any time except as set forth in any other agreement or document executed by Happy Care Meds or as required by law.
Similarly, the Medical Groups, Providers, Pharmacies may retain your information for as long as they believe necessary; as long as necessary to comply with their respective legal obligations, resolve disputes and/or enforce its agreements; and/or as long as needed to provide you with their products and/or services. The Medical Groups, Providers, Pharmacies, may dispose of or delete any such information at any time except as set forth in any other agreement or document executed by such parties or as required by law.
Other third parties with whom we share your information have their own policies and procedures with respect to how long they may retain your information and how and when they dispose of or delete your information.
Transactions:
In connection with any transaction that you conduct through the Service (e.g., the purchase or sale of any products or services on or through the Service), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction, including, without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date, your billing address, your shipping address, your phone number and/or your email address. By submitting such information, you grant Happy Care Meds without charge the irrevocable, unencumbered, universe-wide and perpetual right to provide such information to third parties (e.g., payment processing companies, buyers on the Service, sellers on the Service) for the purpose of facilitating the transaction.
All credit card, debit card and other monetary transactions on or through the Service occur through an online payment processing application(s) accessible through the Service. This online payment processing application(s) is provided by Happy Care Meds’ third-party online payment processing vendor, PayPal (“PayPal“). Additional information about PayPal, its privacy policy and its information security measures (collectively, the “PayPal Policies“) should be available on the PayPal website located at https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/privacy-full or by contacting PayPal directly.
Reference is made to the PayPal Policies for informational purposes only and are in no way incorporated into or made a part of this Privacy Policy. Happy Care Meds’ relationship with PayPal, if any, is merely contractual in nature, as PayPal nothing more than a third-party vendor to Happy Care Meds, and is in no way subject to Happy Care Meds’ direction or control; thus, their relationship is not, and should not be construed as, one of fiduciaries, franchisors-franchisees, agents-principals, employers-employees, partners, joint venturers or the like.
Jurisdictional Issues:
The Service may only be used within certain states within the United States as described in our Terms and Conditions. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy, and our collection, use, and disclosure of your information, is governed by U.S. law.
California Residents:
If you are a California resident and the processing of personal information about you is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have certain rights with respect to that information.
Notice at Collection: At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices, including the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information to be collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is sold or shared, and how long such information is retained. You can find those details in this statement by clicking on the above links.
Right to Know: You have a right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you. You also have a right to request additional information about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of such personal information. Note that we have provided much of this information in this privacy statement.
Rights to Request Correction or Deletion: You also have rights to request that we correct inaccurate personal information and that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions.
Right to Opt-Out / “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: You have a right to opt-out from future “sales” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA.
Note that the CCPA defines “sell,” “share,” and “personal information” very broadly, and some of our data sharing described in this privacy statement may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under those definitions. In particular, we let advertising and analytics providers collect identifiers (IP addresses, cookie IDs, and mobile IDs), activity data (browsing, clicks, app usage), device data, and geolocation data through our sites and apps when you use our online services, but do not “sell” or “share” any other types of personal information. If you do not wish for us or our partners to “sell” or “share” personal information relating to your visits to our sites for advertising purposes, you can make your request by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of the page or using a Global Privacy Control. If you opt-out using these choices, we will not share or make available such personal information in ways that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA. However, we will continue to make available to our partners (acting as our service providers) some personal information to help us perform advertising-related functions. Further, using these choices will not opt you out of the use of previously “sold” or “shared” personal information or stop all interest-based advertising.]21
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information:
You have a right to limit our use of sensitive personal information for any purposes other than to provide the services or goods you request or as otherwise permitted by law.
To opt-out from such additional purposes, please use the Global Privacy Control described in the “Choice and Control” section of this statement.
You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights under the CCPA. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
Further, to provide, correct, or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. We will verify your request by asking you to send it from the email address associated with your account or requiring you to provide information necessary to verify your account.
Finally, you have a right to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights set out in the CCPA.
Additionally, under California Civil Code section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, California residents who have provided personal information to a business with which the individual has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California Customers”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
Please be aware that we do not disclose personal information to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes as defined by this law.

The Weight Loss Quiz:
Our weight loss quiz asks for your height, your current weight, and whether you are currently taking a GLP-1 medication. Those answers are used inside your web browser to show you your BMI and a chart. We do not receive them and we do not store them. They disappear when you close the page.
If you enter your email address and tick the consent box, we keep your first name, your email address, your phone number if you choose to give one, and your answer to one question about what you find hardest when looking for treatment, such as cost or knowing that a provider is legitimate. We use this information to send you information about treatments we offer.
Your name, your contact details and that answer are not protected health information. We do not sell this information, and we do not share it with advertising networks. You can unsubscribe from any email using the link in that email, or ask us to delete your details, by contacting us at support@happycaremeds.com.
