Last Updated: December 15, 2022

This Privacy Notice is designed to help you understand how MyOme, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "MyOme", "we", "us", or "our") collect, use, and share your personal information, and to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.

1. SCOPE AND UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE

Separate Terms of Service. This Privacy Notice applies to personal information processed by us, including through our Services, as that term is defined in the MyOme Terms of Service. This Privacy Notice is not a contract and does not create any contractual rights or obligations. Your use of the Services is governed by the separate MyOme Terms of Service.

Supplemental Notices. MyOme may provide additional privacy notices to individuals at the time we collect their personal information. These additional privacy notices may supplement this Privacy Notice or may apply in lieu of this Privacy Notice.

HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices. This Privacy Notice does not apply to our processing of "Protected Health Information" as a "Covered Entity" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"). Where we act as a "Covered Entity", our processing of "Protected Health Information" is governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

Notice Regarding Customer Data. In some cases, our customer or partner (e.g., an employer, public health organization, educational institution, laboratory, or clinician) may enter into a written agreement with us where we process personal information on their behalf through their use of our Services ("Customer Data"). This Privacy Notice does not apply to Customer Data. Our customers' respective privacy policies govern their collection and use of Customer Data. Our processing of Customer Data is governed by the contracts that we have in place with our customers, not this Privacy Notice. Any questions or requests relating to Customer Data should be directed to our customer.

Changes to our Privacy Notice. We may revise this Privacy Notice from time to time in our sole discretion. If there are any material changes to this Privacy Notice, we will notify you as required by applicable law. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Notice if you continue to use our Services after the new Privacy Notice takes effect.
