TELEHEALTH PRIVACY POLICY
IMPORTANT: This document is a general business template and is not legal advice. Privacy obligations may arise under HIPAA, the FTC Act, the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule, state consumer-health-data laws, state comprehensive privacy laws, biometric laws, advertising rules, medical-record laws, and other requirements. Have qualified privacy and healthcare counsel review the final version.
This Privacy Policy explains how PYLOT LLC, doing business as Voyocare ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information when you visit voyocare.com or use our websites, applications, patient intake experiences, customer support, communications, and related non-clinical services (collectively, the "Services").
Clinical services are provided by DrTelx, an independent telehealth provider network, and prescriptions are dispensed by independently licensed pharmacies, including EPIQ Scripts, Foothills Pharmacy, and Emerald Compounding Pharmacy. Those entities maintain their own privacy notices and medical records, including HIPAA Notices of Privacy Practices. DrTelx's Notice of Privacy Practices is available at https://drtelx.com/privacy-policy/. This Policy does not govern their handling of your information.
1. Scope of This Privacy Policy
- This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by the Company through the Services unless another privacy notice expressly applies.
- This Privacy Policy does not replace a healthcare provider's Notice of Privacy Practices or other legally required notice governing protected health information.
- If a separate medical group, pharmacy, laboratory, payment processor, or other third party independently determines how it processes information, that party's privacy practices may also apply
2. Information We Collect
- Identifiers and contact information: name, email address, telephone number, date of birth, mailing address, shipping address, account identifiers, and similar information.
- Account and transaction information: account credentials, order history, subscription status, transaction details, billing information, and limited payment-related information. Full payment-card details may be processed directly by third-party payment processors rather than stored by us.
- Health and wellness information: medical history, current medications, allergies, symptoms, treatment goals, lifestyle information, measurements, questionnaire responses, prescription history, uploaded documents, and other information submitted in connection with an assessment or healthcare service.
- Communications: customer-support requests, emails, chat messages, telephone communications, survey responses, and other correspondence.
- Device and internet information: IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, language, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP, and similar technical information.
- Usage information: pages viewed, clicks, session activity, timestamps, navigation patterns, conversion events, and interactions with the Services.
- Cookies and similar technologies: cookies, pixels, SDKs, local storage, tags, and related technologies used for functionality, analytics, security, preferences, and - where permitted - advertising or measurement.
- Information from third parties: information received from healthcare providers, pharmacies, laboratories, identity-verification services, payment processors, marketing partners, analytics providers, service vendors, or other sources as permitted by law.
3. Sensitive and Consumer Health Information
- Certain information we process may be considered sensitive personal information, consumer health data, or protected health information depending on the context and applicable law.
- Health-related information may include diagnoses, symptoms, medications, treatment interests, reproductive or sexual-health information, weight-related information, laboratory information, and inferences that could reveal a person's physical or mental health status.
- We use and disclose sensitive or consumer health information only for purposes permitted by applicable law and, where required, with appropriate consent or authorization.
- INFORMED CONSENT
4. How We Use Information

- Create and manage accounts and patient intake experiences.
- Connect users with licensed healthcare professionals and facilitate telehealth workflows.
- Coordinate prescriptions, pharmacy fulfillment, laboratory services, shipping, and related administrative functions where applicable.
- Process payments, subscriptions, refunds, and transactions.
- Provide customer support and respond to requests.
- Authenticate users, detect fraud, prevent misuse, protect security, and enforce our agreements.

5. Healthcare Providers and Clinical Information
- Information submitted through a healthcare intake may be made available to licensed healthcare professionals for clinical evaluation and treatment decisions.
- Licensed healthcare professionals exercise independent medical judgment and may collect or create additional medical information as part of the clinician-patient relationship.
- Medical records maintained by a healthcare provider or medical group may be governed by separate privacy obligations and retention requirements.
- Clinical services are provided by DrTelx, an independent telehealth medical group. DrTelx and the dispensing pharmacies are HIPAA covered entities and maintain their own medical records, privacy practices, and retention obligations, separate from this Policy. DrTelx's Notice of Privacy Practices is available at https://drtelx.com/privacy-policy/. Questions about your medical records, or requests to access, amend, or restrict them, should be directed to DrTelx at support@drtelx.com
6. HIPAA and Protected Health Information
- HIPAA does not automatically apply to every piece of health-related information collected through a consumer website or technology platform.
- Where the Company acts as a HIPAA covered entity or business associate, protected health information will be handled in accordance with applicable HIPAA requirements and contractual obligations.
- Where information falls outside HIPAA, it may still be protected by other federal or state privacy,
consumer-protection, or consumer-health-data laws. - Do not publish broad statements that all platform data is 'HIPAA compliant' unless counsel has confirmed the applicable entities, data flows, contracts, security controls, and permitted uses.
7. How We Disclose Information
- Healthcare providers and medical groups: to facilitate clinical evaluation, treatment, care coordination, and required medical recordkeeping.

8. Sale, Sharing, Targeted Advertising, and Marketing Disclosures

We use advertising and analytics technologies that disclose identifiers and browsing activity to third-party advertising partners. We do not use information that identifies you as having sought or received specific medical treatment for targeted advertising, and we do not sell consumer health data.
- To opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, or of targeted advertising, email privacy@voyocare.com with your request and the email address associated with your account. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

- Safeguards may include encryption in transit, access controls, authentication, vendor controls, logging, monitoring, employee training, incident-response procedures, and other measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
- No transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should protect account credentials and notify us promptly of suspected unauthorized access.
12. Data Retention
- We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including service delivery, account administration, legal compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and enforcement of agreements.

- Retention periods may vary by information type, jurisdiction, legal requirement, contractual obligation, and operational need.
- When information is no longer required, we may delete, de-identify, aggregate, or anonymize it as permitted by law.
13. De-Identified and Aggregated Information
- We may create de-identified, anonymized, or aggregated information that is not reasonably capable of being linked to an identifiable individual.
- Where required by law, we will take reasonable measures to prevent re-identification and will not attempt to re-identify data maintained as de-identified except as legally permitted.
14. Privacy Rights
