Remember that your use of Antidote’s Services is always subject to our Terms of Use which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Service.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our Services, and to the treatment of personally identifiable information by our telemedicine partners, Antidote A.I. Health but not to the practices of companies we do not own or control. We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information in connection with our Services. In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only as described below.
How do we collect and use Personal Information?
We receive and store the information you knowingly provide to us. An example is that when you enroll in one of our plans, you provide us with information about you, such as your name, address, social security number, age, and the names and ages of your immediate family members. When you enroll and activate your account, the information that we collect is used to associate your Account with your plan enrollment information. Each member uses a unique username to access their Account information through the website or the Antidote mobile application. We highly recommend that only you should use your username and password you choose to login to your Account. We also highly recommend that you do not give your username and password to others.
Antidote also maintains data that has been provided to us or uploaded to Antidote by you or by our “Business Associates” (those vendors who perform work on our behalf for the purpose of payment, treatment, or healthcare operations - and who have written agreements with us that specifically indicate how they will protect your information). We maintain claims information, information about prior authorizations that you requested, and other information needed to provide you with healthcare services that you need. Sometimes, we may request specific consent from you in order to gather additional information that will help us better serve you in coordinating your care.
If you provide your contact information to us, we may store and use that information to contact you for marketing and promotional purposes by various means, including regular mail, email, telephone, including voicemail, or SMS/MMS (text message). You may receive messages about wellness programs or other programs sponsored by Antidote or its Business Associates. We will share your Personal Information with affiliated businesses only to the extent that it is related to such a transaction or service.
Please note that we have no control over the policies and practices of third-party websites or businesses. If you choose to take part in any program or service of any non-Antidote business, please ensure that you review their business and website policies.
We may receive a confirmation notice when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us ensure you receive our communications and improve our services. To the extent permitted by law we may store and use your information to contact you about your care and benefits by various means, including regular mail, email, telephone including voicemail, or SMS/MMS (text message). We will only contact you via text messages when you consent to such communication. By voluntarily opting to have text messages sent directly to your mobile phone you agree to our Text Messaging Terms and Conditions.
We may also use your information to notify you about payment information and/or to communicate with you about your Account. You can opt out of marketing or advertising communications, but we may still send you communications relating to your Account for purposes important to the Services, such as password recovery or a payment reminder.
If you choose to use a bank account to make payments through the Services, we may collect and store your bank account information. If you use a payment card to make payments through the Services, that information is collected and stored by our third party payment processing companies (the “Payment Processors”) which is currently REPAY Holdings, LLC use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processor’s applicable terms of service and privacy policy. However, we may from time-to-time request and receive some of your financial information from our Payment Processor for the purposes of completing transactions you have initiated through the Services, enrolling you in discount, rebate, and other programs in which you elect to participate, protecting against or identifying possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business.

Other information; “cookies” and “tags”
When you use our Services, we collect certain “usage data,” such as the number of visitors we receive or what pages are visited most often. This data helps us to analyze and improve the usefulness of the information of our Services.
We may also collect, or receive from third parties, information based on your IP address that provides us with your geolocation data to identify relevant markets to provide a better mobile experience. We do not store, sell, disclose, or use this data for advertisements.
We may use what is known as “cookie” technology. A “cookie” is an element of data that a website can send to your browser when you link to that website. It is not a computer program and has no ability to read data residing on your computer or instruct it to perform any step or function. By assigning a unique data element to each visitor, the website can recognize repeat users, track usage patterns, and better serve you when you return to that site. Our cookies do not extract personal information about you, such as your name or address. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. We may also use what is known as “client-side page tagging,” which uses code on each page to write certain information about the page and the visitor to a log when a page is rendered by your web browser. This technique is also commonly used on commercial websites. “Tagging” does result in a JavaScript program running on your computer, but it is limited to providing information about the page that you are requesting and the configuration of your browser. It will not read any of your data files, or execute any additional programs. It does not extract any personal information about you, such as your name or address. You can prevent tagging by disabling JavaScript in your browser, but that may prevent you from using all of our Site’s functions. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the “Do Not Track” signal, we do not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.
