Sensitive Personal Information
We generally do not require sensitive personal information. If you choose to share health-related information (e.g., symptoms, medication history) within inquiries or submissions, we treat it as sensitive and use it only to respond to your requests or provide the Services. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you or for targeted advertising.
How We Use Personal Information
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Services.
- Respond to inquiries, provide support, and communicate about updates or changes.
- Personalize content and user experience.
- Conduct analytics, research, and improve the quality, safety, and performance of the Services.
- Send administrative messages and, where permitted, marketing communications (you can opt out at any time).
- Detect, prevent, and address security incidents, fraud, and abuse.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce terms, policies, and rights.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
- Essential: Required for core site functions, security, and network management.
- Functional: Remember preferences and enhance features.
- Analytics: Help us understand how visitors use the Services.
- Advertising/Marketing: If enabled, support delivery and measurement of ads and cross-context behavioral advertising.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our on-site controls. Blocking some cookies may impact functionality. We honor recognized browser-based opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), for applicable opt-out rights where required by law.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients for the purposes described above:
- Service Providers/Processors: Hosting, cloud storage, security, analytics, email and communication providers, customer support, and payment processors that process information on our behalf under contractual restrictions.
- Professional Advisors: Attorneys, auditors, insurers, and consultants under confidentiality obligations.
- Legal and Safety: Government authorities or other third parties when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Corporate Transactions: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.
We do not sell personal information for money. We may "share" identifiers and internet activity data with analytics and, if used, advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by certain U.S. state laws; you can opt out of such sharing as described in the Your Privacy Rights section. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods are determined by factors such as the nature of the information, the purpose of processing, legal obligations, and operational needs. For example, support communications are typically retained for as long as needed to address your request and for a reasonable period thereafter; analytics data may be retained for approximately 12–24 months; and account information (if applicable) is retained until the account is deleted, subject to backup and legal retention requirements.
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Opt Out: Opt out of the sale of personal information, the sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and targeted advertising.
- Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: Where applicable, limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information (we do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that require a right to limit under California law).
- Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
How to Exercise Your Rights
- Submit a request by emailing [email protected] with your name, state of residence, the right(s) you wish to exercise, and sufficient details to verify your identity.

California-Specific Disclosures
Categories of personal information we may collect include: identifiers (e.g., name, email, IP address), internet or network activity (e.g., browsing history on our Services), geolocation data (approximate), inferences drawn from usage, and sensitive personal information you volunteer in communications. We collect these categories from you, your devices, service providers, and public sources. We use them for the business purposes described in this Policy. We disclose them to service providers, professional advisors, legal authorities (when required), and, where applicable, to analytics/advertising partners. We do not sell personal information for money. We may share personal information (such as identifiers and internet activity) for cross-context behavioral advertising unless you opt out. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16. This Policy is intended to serve as our notice at collection. California "Shine the Light" inquiries regarding direct marketing disclosures may be submitted to [email protected].
Children’s Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will delete it. Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information may contact us at [email protected].
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting; because there is no common industry standard for DNT, our Services do not respond to DNT signals. We do, however, recognize and honor browser-based opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), as an opt-out of sale/sharing or targeted advertising where required by applicable law.
HIPAA and Medical Information
CHSNY is not a healthcare provider, health plan, or healthcare clearinghouse and is not a covered entity or business associate subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Information provided through the Services is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Do not submit protected health information to us. If you choose to share health-related information, we will use it only to provide the Services and respond to your inquiries.
International Users
We are based in the United States and process personal information in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
Third-Party Content and Links
The Services may reference or enable access to third-party content, tools, or websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
Accessibility
We are committed to making our Privacy Policy accessible. If you need this Policy in an alternative format, please contact us at [email protected].
