Illinois Pathways to Health by AgeOptions programs provide education, appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength, flexibility and endurance, and self-care strategies to help people experience improved wellness and quality of life. They are developed and verified by researchers to prevent falls, prevent and manage diabetes, and promote management of health conditions such as chronic pain, COPD, high blood pressure, and arthritis.
Illinois Pathways to Health by AgeOptions is committed to protecting the privacy of users (“you” or “your”) of its website and programs (“Programs”). This Privacy Policy states the AgeOptions practices applying to users of all Illinois Pathways to
Health Programs.

INFORMATION USE AND COLLECTION TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY
POLICY. AGEOPTIONS HAS THE RIGHT TO REVISE THIS POLICY AT
ANY TIME. WE MAY NOT NOTIFY USERS INDIVIDUALLY IF WE
CHANGE THIS PRIVACY POLICY. ANY CHANGES WILL BE EFFECTIVE

POLICY FREQUENTLY FOR CHANGES.

Information We Collect

Users of the Illinois Pathways to Health Programs may create a user account. When you register for Programs you may provide personally identifiable information, including an email address, name and other information. You may also consent to participate in surveys related to your use of the Programs and your responses to such survey and/or healthcare related questions related to your use of the Programs will be collected in our system as well. Except as specifically stated below, we will not provide your personal information to any third parties without your express consent. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information includes all information or data that is specific to you and may be used to
determine your identity, such as contact information (names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses) and any survey or healthcare related responses you provide related to the Programs.

AgeOptions may also collect non-personal information regarding your use of the Programs with operational tools such as cookies, web log files, and user IP addresses ("Usage Information"). AgeOptions may use Usage Information and other system information to process automatic crash reporting which collects reports of crashes and other technical issues. A crash reporting service automatically collects certain information that does not personally identify you. This other system information used for this crash reporting includes, but is not limited to, device state information, unique device identifiers, device hardware and OS information, and information relating to how the Programs are functioning.

Use and Disclosure of the Information

We use your personal information to provide the Programs. This personal information will also be provided to certain third-party technology services providers as necessary to provide the Programs functionality. Third party technology services providers include software development, application and data hosting, wireless network services providers, and payment processing agents. We
are responsible for assuring that these third parties comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

AgeOptions may also share your personal information with your “related source” which may include your healthcare provider or health plan, when such related source refers you to our Programs or pays for your Programs. If you elect to participate in surveys and/or healthcare related questions related to your use of the
Programs, we will share this information with the related source that referred you to our Programs. In addition to the sharing of such personal information, AgeOptions may also disclose information related to your use of the Programs to such related source.

Except for our third party technology services providers or as noted for a related source, AgeOptions does not voluntarily share personal information with a third party without your prior authorization, unless doing so is necessary (1) to enforce this Privacy Policy, to comply with law, regulation or other legal processes or to protect the rights, property or safety of us or others, (2) to comply with a valid order or process from a government regulator or law enforcement agency, (3) in emergency situations, (4) to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Programs, (5) to detect or prevent criminal activity or fraud, or (6) in the event that we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation or liquidation, in which case your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.

We use the Usage Information to analyze and evaluate the features and functionality of the Programs.
