Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 4, 2025

HDX Labs, Inc. (“HDX”, “HealthEx”, “we”, “our”) provides a platform for individuals to access, manage, and share their health data and information with third parties (the “Platform”).  

This Privacy Policy describes (1) how we handle personal information that we collect in connection with our Platform, our websites (including https://www.healthex.io/), and your other interactions with HDX, (2) how we use and share that information, and (3) the rights and choices you have.

Applicability of this Privacy Policy

We have developed relationships and built integrations with various health systems and networks (each, a “Third-Party Health Network”). Our Platform enables individuals to manage and share their personal information which may include health data, related information, and “protected health information” (those categories collectively, “User Health Data”) stored at these Third-Party Health Networks with various third parties (together with Third-Party Health Networks, “Third-Party Partners”) at the individual’s direction. 

When we process personal information to Third-Party Partners on your behalf, we process your personal information (including User Health Data) on your behalf as a “controller”.  In limited circumstances, we process your personal information on behalf of Third-Party Health Networks as a “service provider” or “processor” and do not control how such User Health Data is used.  Where we process your personal information as a “service provider” or “processor”, we will provide you with a notice-at-collection on behalf of our Third-Party Partner.  In all cases, if you have questions or concerns with respect to how a Third-Party Partner is processing your User Health Data after you have chosen to share it with them, please contact the corresponding Third-Party Partner.  

Additionally, we also act as an Individual Access Service Provider in connection with our Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (“TEFCA”).  You may elect for our Platform to receive your User Health Data and other personal information through our TEFCA connection. This Privacy Policy does not apply to our processing of your personal information we receive, at your direction, through our TEFCA connection, instead our TEFCA Privacy and Security Notice Addendum will apply.

Personal Information We Collect

Information you provide to us:

  • User Health Data: We may process your User Health Data in a transient manner in connection with your use of the Platform. This can include any health data and information you elect for us to process on your behalf.

  • Account Registration Information, such as the information you provide to us in order to register an account on the Platform (e.g. name, email, etc.).  This does not include your User Health Data.

  • Feedback or correspondence, such as information you provide when you contact us with questions, feedback, reviews, or otherwise correspond with us online.

  • Usage information, such as information about how you use the Platform and interact with us.

  • Marketing information, such as your preferences for receiving communications about our activities, services, and publications, and details about how you engage with our communications.

  • Other information that we may collect which is not specifically listed here, but which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Automatic data collection. We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with our Platform, our communications and other online services, such as:

  • Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., WiFi, LTE, 4G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.

  • Online activity data, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, browsing history, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times, and duration of access, and whether you have opened our marketing emails or clicked links within them. We may use third party tools to assist with capturing online activity data.

  • Email Open/Click Information. We may use pixels in our email campaigns that allow us to collect your email and IP address as well as the date and time you open an email or click on any links in the email that we may send to you.

We use the following tools for automatic data collection:

  • Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, helping us understand user activity and patterns, and facilitating online advertising.

  • Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.

  • Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

Data Retention

We may retain your personal information for as long as it is reasonably needed in order to maintain and expand our relationship and provide you with our services; in order to comply with our legal and contractual obligations; or to protect ourselves from any potential disputes. When it comes to User Health Data, we typically retain such data in an identifiable form for less than 72 hours. However, our retention of your User Health Data depends on how you use our Platform. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of such information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of such information, the purposes for which we process it, and the applicable legal requirements.

We do not control third party websites, mobile applications or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and mobile applications and online services you use.

Security practices

We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration and destruction of personal information we maintain. Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed as completely secure.

In the event that we are required to notify you about a situation involving your data, we may do so by email or telephone to the extent permitted by law.

Children

Our Platform is not intended for children, and we do not collect personal information from them. We define “children” as anyone under 18 years old.

Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the new terms and/or upon implementation of the new changes on our Platform (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting).
