By visiting this website, you agree that you are engaging Admired (the Company) for the purposes of seeking medical treatment and solutions to my particular health needs. By signing below, I understand and agree to the following:
1. Scope of Services
You are engaging the Company for a particular medical condition(s). This will require the following:
2. Purpose and Scope of Telemedicine
You understand that your interactions with medical providers will be through telemedicine. Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications to enable your healthcare provider(s) at a different location to conduct a patient visit, including gathering medical information and conducting a virtual examination for the purpose of improving patient care. Telemedicine also involves a provider reviewing your case and recommending a treatment plan without you present by audio or video. A telemedicine visit is the same as an in-person visit under the laws of all 50 states.
Providers you interact with may include primary care practitioners, specialists, subspecialists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, medical assistants, and other healthcare providers.
All telemedicine visits with the assigned provider involve the transmission of information that may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up, or education via internet or telephone communication. This information may include progress reports, assessments or other intervention-related documents, bio-physiological data, videos, pictures, text messages, audio, and any digital form of data.
3. Protected Health Information
You understand that all your medical information, also known as Protected Health Information (PHI), that is shared or transmitted between you and your healthcare provider is protected by privacy laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). However, you understand and agree that the Company is not a healthcare entity and is therefore not bound to such privacy laws when you initially share information prior to meeting with a healthcare provider. Nevertheless, the Company will diligently safeguard any medical information you share. After you meet with a provider, any information shared with the Company by the provider or pharmacy is protected under the various privacy laws, and the Company is bound to the restrictions of these laws.
You understand, agree, and expressly consent to the Company, its administrative staff, Telehealth Providers, and other professionals obtaining, using, storing, and disseminating to necessary third parties, information about you, including possibly your image, as necessary to provide telemedicine services. As with any Internet-based communication, you understand that there is a risk of security breach. Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of your PHI and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.
You understand that disruptions of signals or problems with internet or phone infrastructure may cause broadcast and reception problems (e.g., poor picture or sound quality, dropped connections, audio interference) that prevent effective interaction between consulting provider(s), participant, patient, or care team. You hereby release and hold harmless the Company, Telehealth Providers, Pharmacy Partners, third-party professionals, its independent contractors, and all members of your care team from any loss of data or information due to technical failures associated with the telemedicine service. You understand and agree that the PHI you provide at the time of your telemedicine service may be the only source of health information used by the medical professionals during the course of your evaluation and treatment at the time of the telemedicine visit, and that these professionals may not have access to your full medical record or information.
You also understand that you will be given information about tests, treatments, and procedures, as applicable, including the benefits, risks, possible problems or complications, and alternate choices for your medical care from your provider(s). You have the right to withhold or withdraw consent to the use of telemedicine services at any time. You understand that you have the right to make a formal written request for your medical record from your healthcare provider and to have a copy of this PHI policy.
4. Non-Medical Information
Any information that is not considered PHI – in other words, not medical information – is not protected by HIPAA or other healthcare privacy laws. While the Company will still safeguard this non-medical information, you agree to allow the Company to use it to reach out to you for educational purposes or to provide you with additional services and offers. The Company will not sell or otherwise share your non-medical information with any other person or business other than to assist the Company in providing you with additional services and offers. The Company may use your information to remarket to you. Remarketing refers to a marketing strategy that involves targeting individuals who have previously interacted with a business or its website. It aims to re-engage those users by showing them relevant ads or promotional content across various platforms, such as search engines, social media, or display networks. By reminding past visitors about a product, service, or brand they have shown interest in, remarketing helps to increase brand visibility, drive conversions, and encourage return visits or purchases.
You expressly understand and agree to allow the Company to use its processes to follow up with you in order to provide you with potential additional services and offers.
You also understand and agree that the Company reserves the right to monitor general use of the Service at any time as it deems appropriate and to remove any materials that, in its sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject the Company to liability, may violate this Agreement, or are, in the sole discretion of the Company, inconsistent with the Company’s purpose for the Service.
5. Accuracy of Information; Compliance; No Guarantees
You agree that all information you give to the Company, its agents, and third-party providers will be completely accurate and truthful to the best of your knowledge and ability. You assume full responsibility for any adverse event or outcome as a result or faulty, inaccurate, or false information.
You agree to comply fully with the Company’s processes and procedures. You also agree to comply fully with your medical provider’s treatment plans, protocols, and instructions. You take full responsibility for any adverse event or outcome as a result of non-compliance and waive any action against your provider or anyone else.
You understand and acknowledge that every person’s body is different and responds differently to treatments and substances. You understand and agree that neither the Company nor your healthcare provider(s) guarantee any specific outcomes or results from your treatment plans or medications.
6. Choice of Provider and Pharmacy
While the Company will be assigning you a third-party medical provider(s) to perform examinations and reviews of your case, as well as creating a treatment plan, you have the right to request the Company to assign you a different provider(s) if you have a valid reason for doing so. You only need to reach out to the Company to make this request.
In addition, while prescriptions are filled by our third-party licensed pharmacy and quickly shipped to your location for your convenience, you have the right, if you insist, to request that the prescription be sent to a local pharmacy of your choice. You only need to reach out to the Company to make this request. However, you must ensure that your pharmacy has the requisite knowledge and capability to fill the prescription, including the ability to compound certain prescribed medicines.
7. Provider Relationships and Waiver of Responsibility
The medical provider(s) who will be examining and treating you are independent licensed professionals who are part of the Company’s network of affiliated providers. However, these providers are not employees of the Company, nor does the Company control or supervise their medical activities.
You therefore agree to enter into a provider-patient relationship independently with your provider(s). You understand and acknowledge that any problem you have with your actual medical treatment rests solely on the provider(s) offering that treatment, and you waive all right to hold the Company legally or otherwise liable/responsible for any problem or harm resulting from a provider’s independent medical judgment or actions.
Likewise, the Company’s designated pharmacy is a licensed pharmacy that operates independently, relying on its own expertise and judgment providing pharmacy services. You waive all right to hold the Company legally or otherwise liable/responsible for any problem or harm resulting from the pharmacy’s judgment or actions.
You agree to take any legal or other action for issues with your provider(s) or the pharmacy directly with these persons/entities.
8. Emergency Situations
In the event that you have a serious reaction to any treatment or medication given by your independent healthcare provider, do not contact the Company. You agree to contact your primary care provider, go to the emergency room, or call 911.
9. Age Restrictions
The Company’s services are designed for adults only. You acknowledge that you are at least Eighteen (18) years of age and are legally capable of entering into this Agreement.
10. Termination by the Company
The Company reserves the right to terminate this agreement and end its relationship with you, including the provider-patient relationship, at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to any violation of any section or provision of this Agreement. If termination occurs because of violation or because you voluntarily terminate, you forfeit any payment or right to a refund, rebate, discount, or any other financial remuneration.
11. Cancellations / Refunds
Once you engage the Company for services, you understand that if you terminate this Agreement, you are not entitled to a refund of any kind.
Payment for all treatments through the Admired platform are final.
12. Client’s Financial Responsibility
You understand and agree to pay the Company the amount owed for all services, including the provider and pharmacy services, in a prompt manner. All failed charged or late payments may incur an additional charge at the sole discretion of the Company.
You will be presented with a payment page where you will need to enter the necessary details, including your card number, expiration date, CVV code, and billing address. It is important to ensure that you provide accurate and up-to-date information to avoid any transaction issues.
Once you have entered the required details, the payment system the Company utilizes will securely transmit the information to the payment processor for authorization. You will then receive a confirmation of the successful transaction, and the Company will initiate the process of fulfilling your order with their affiliates. It is worth noting that reputable online retailers prioritize the security of their customers' payment information, often employing encryption technologies and following industry-standard security protocols to protect sensitive data during transmission.
13. Prohibited Use
You are prohibited from using or attempting to use the Service (i) for any unlawful, unauthorized, fraudulent or malicious purpose, (ii) in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair any server, or the network(s) connected to any server, (iii) in any manner that could interfere with any other party’s use and enjoyment of the Service, (iv) to gain unauthorized access to any other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to any server or systems through hacking, password mining or any other means, (v) to access systems, data, or information not intended by the Company to be made accessible to a user, (vi) to obtain any materials, or information through any means not intentionally made available by the Company, (vii) to reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile any section or technology on the Service, or (viii) for any use other than the business purpose for which it was intended.

The Company reserves the right to take whatever lawful actions it may deem appropriate in response to actual or suspected violations of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the suspension or termination of your access and/or account. The Company may cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrong.
Except as may be provided in the Privacy Policy or prohibited by applicable law, the Company reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as it deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in the Company’s sole discretion.
You agree not to use any of the Company’s proprietary or intellectual property, including brands, logos, copyrighted information, etc. You may only use the Company’s systems, protocols, and affiliates within instructed parameters. You may not use the Company or its platforms to promote yourself, your business, or for any other reason than to seek and receive medical treatment. You agree not to contact the Company’s third-party medical provider except through the Company’s system. Any violation of the Company’s intellectual property rights is grounds for legal action by the Company in a court of proper jurisdiction. If you believe anyone has violated this section, you agree to report it to the Company.

We reserve the right to control the defense of any claim by a third-party for which we are entitled to indemnification, and you agree to provide us with such cooperation as is reasonably requested by the Company.
15. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
This Agreement is created and interpreted under the laws of the state of Florida. Under no circumstances may you initiate or join a class action lawsuit against the Company, its employees and agents, or its affiliate providers. The Parties will attempt to resolve any dispute arising under this Agreement first among themselves. If this is unsuccessful, they will submit to binding Arbitration under the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association in Miami, Florida. The only exception to this Paragraph 15 is the provision for intellectual property infringement found in Paragraph 13 above. Other than Paragraph 13, you understand and acknowledge that you may not bring a cause of action in a court of law for any issue arising under this Terms and Conditions Agreement.
16. General Provisions
Severability.

Binding Effect; No Third-Party Beneficiary. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns.

Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Party.

Addendum
Admired is a 100% online digital platform; therefore, we contract with Telehealth Providers, Pharmacy Partners, and other third-party affiliates. Through the platform, patients may engage the services, products, or treatments that we make available. If in any language, including, but not limited to, the website, member portal, videos, social media, emails, and any additional related medium where we mention "our providers," "our doctors," "our treatments," "our medications," "our prescriptions," “our products,” and the like, it is merely out of error.

Individuals who are between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18) (or such older age of majority) may use the Service for the sole purpose of obtaining a medical consultation for the treatment of acne using topical skincare products (to the extent made available) if a parent or legal guardian provides consent to such use in accordance with the requirements set forth in our Terms and Conditions and the Service.

Furthermore, if you are under sixteen (16) years of age, then you (or your parent or legal guardian if you are under age 13) may at any time request that we remove content or information about you that is posted on the Platform.

The foregoing is a description of Admired.com' voluntary practices concerning the collection of personal information through the Service from certain minors, and is not intended to be an admission that Admired.com is subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule(s), or any similar international, federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations.
Protected Health Information
When you contact or set up an account with Admired.com, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Admired.com that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform and the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to Admired.com, including but not limited to, your name, email address, shipping address, phone number and certain transactional information, that we do not consider to be "protected health information" or "medical information".
However, in using certain components of the Service, you may also provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. Admired.com is not a "covered entity" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, " HIPAA"). One or more of the Labs, Pharmacies or Medical Groups (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) may or may not be a "covered entity" or "business associate" under HIPAA, and Admired.com may in some cases be a "business associate" of a Pharmacy or Medical Group. It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Admired.com, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies. To the extent Admired.com is deemed a "business associate" however, and solely in its role as a business associate, Admired.com, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to "protected health information," as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Admired.com, the Medical Group or the Providers (" PHI"). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, "Protected Information" ), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws.
The Medical Groups and Providers adhere to HIPAA and other privacy laws that detail how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you acknowledge receipt of this Privacy Policy.
By accessing or using any part of the Service, you understand that even if HIPAA does apply to Admired.com, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies, any information that you submit to Admired.com that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, laboratory services by the Labs or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies, is not considered Protected Health Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. For purposes of clarity, information you provide to Admired.com in order to register and set up an account on the Platform, including name, username, email address, shipping address and phone number, are not considered Protected Information.
Collection of Personal Information
The personal data we collect depends on how you interact with us, the services you use, and the choices you make.
We collect information about you from different sources and in various ways when you use our services, including information you provide directly, information collected automatically, information from third-party data sources, and data we infer or generate from other data.
Information you provide directly. We collect personal data you provide to us. For example:
Information we collect automatically. When you use our services, we collect some information automatically. For example:
Information we create or generate. We infer new information from other data we collect, including using automated means to generate information about your likely preferences or other characteristics (“inferences”). For example, we infer your general geographic location (such as city, state, and country) based on your IP address.
Information we obtain from third-party sources. We also obtain the types of information described above from third parties. These third-party sources include, for example:
When you are asked to provide personal data, you may decline. And you may use web browser or operating system controls to prevent certain types of automatic data collection. But if you choose not to provide or allow information that is necessary for certain services or features, those services or features may not be available or fully functional.
Admired.com provides management services to the medical providers you may access through our Services. As a result, we may store additional health information on their behalf, including your medical record, communications with providers, and medical history.
Cookies, Mobile IDs, and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, mobile analytics and advertising IDs, and similar technologies to operate our websites and online services and to help collect data, including usage data, identifiers, and device information.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed by a website and stored by your browser on your device. A cookie can later be read when your browser connects to a web server in the same domain that placed the cookie. The text in a cookie contains a string of numbers and letters that may uniquely identify your device and can contain other information as well. This allows the web server to recognize your browser over time, each time it connects to that web server.
Web beacons are electronic images (also called single-pixel or clear GIFs) that are contained within a website or email. When your browser opens a webpage or email that contains a web beacon, it automatically connects to the web server that hosts the image (typically operated by a third party). This allows that web server to log information about your device and to set and read its own cookies. In the same way, third-party content on our websites (such as embedded videos, plug-ins, or ads) results in your browser connecting to the third-party web server that hosts that content. We also include web beacons in our email messages or newsletters to tell us if you open and act on them.
Mobile analytics and advertising IDs are generated by operating systems for mobile devices (iOS and Android) and can be accessed and used by apps in much the same way that websites access and use cookies. Our apps contain software that enables us and our third-party analytics and advertising partners to access these mobile IDs.
How do we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies?
We, and our analytics and advertising partners, use these technologies in our websites, apps, and online services to collect personal data (such as the pages you visit, the links you click on, and similar usage information, identifiers, and device information) when you use our services, including personal data about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. This data is used to store your preferences and settings, enable you to sign-in, analyze how our websites and apps perform, track your interaction with the site or app, develop inferences, deliver and tailor interest-based advertising, combat fraud, and fulfill other legitimate purposes. We and/or our partners also share the data we collect or infer with third parties for these purposes. For more information about the third-party analytics and advertising partners that collect personal information on our services, please see the “Our Disclosure of Personal Data” section of this statement.
What controls are available?
There are a range of cookie and related controls available through browsers, mobile operating systems, and elsewhere. See the “Choice and Control of Personal Data” section below for details.

Disclosure of Information
We disclose personal data with your consent or as we determine necessary to complete your transactions or provide the services you have requested or authorized. Subject to the limitations described in the Protected Health Information section above, we may disclose your information to third parties in connection with the provision of our Service or as otherwise permitted or required by law. For example, we may disclose your information to:
Third party analytics and advertising companies also collect personal data through our website and apps including identifiers and device information (such as cookie IDs, device IDs, and IP address), geolocation data, usage data, and inferences based on and associated with that data, as described in the “Cookies” section of this statement. These third-party vendors may combine this data across multiple sites to improve analytics for their own purpose and others. For example, we use Google Analytics on our website to help us understand how users interact with our website; you can learn how Google collects and uses information at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
Other third-party analytics and advertising providers we use on our websites include, for example:
Company/Service | Purpose(s) | Privacy Notices | Manage Settings (opt-out) |
Google (DoubleClick) | Advertising, analytics | https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites | https://adssettings.google.com/ |

Google Analytics | Analytics | www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners | https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout |
Some of the data disclosures to these third parties may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined under the laws of California and other U.S. states. Please see the “Choice and Control” and “California Privacy Rights” sections below for more details.
Please note that some of our services also include integrations, references, or links to services provided by third parties whose privacy practices differ from ours. If you provide personal data to any of those third parties, or allow us to share personal data with them, that data is governed by their privacy statements.
Finally, we may disclose de-identified information in accordance with applicable law.
SOCIAL MEDIA
We may provide you the option to connect your account on the Website to your account on some social networking sites for the purpose of logging in, uploading information or enabling certain features on the Website. When logging in using your social network credentials, we may collect the Personally Identifying Information you have made publicly available on the social networking site, such as your name, profile picture, cover photo, username, gender, friends network, age range, locale, friend list and any other information you have made public. Once connected, other users may also be able to see information about your social network, such as the size of your network and your friends, including common friends. By connecting your account on the Website to your account on any social networking site, you hereby consent to the continuous release of information about you to us. We will not send any of your account information to the connected social networking site without first disclosing that to you. Each social network may further allow you to set privacy controls around your information on their system, and our collection of information will always follow such controls and permissions. This feature is subject to continuous change and improvement by us and each social networking site involved, and therefore the available features and shared information are subject to change without notice to you.
We may use hyperlinks on the Website which will redirect you to a social network if you click on the respective link. However, when you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button, Twitter’s “tweet” button or the Google+, that particular social network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. If you do not use these buttons, none of your data will be sent to the respective social network’s plugin provider. So for example, when you click on the Facebook’s “Like” button on the Website, Facebook will receive your IP address, the browser version and screenresolution, and the operating system of the device you have used to access the Website. Settings regarding privacy protection can be found on the websites of these social networks and are not within our control.
Online Postings
Certain Personally Identifying Information collected from users may be disclosed as a matter of course as a result of your use of the Website. We may provide areas on the Website where you can post reviews and other information relating to your activities on the Website. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Use. In addition, such postings may appear on other websites or when searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information. USERS ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM THEIR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION.
Company Communications
We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by the Website that we think you may find valuable. We may also send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. Generally, you may opt out of such emails at the time of registration or through your account settings, though this may not opt you out of all emails, such as notices about your account, including service announcements and administrative messages.
General Use by Company
Company uses the Personally Identifying Information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Website (1) to deliver the products and services that you have requested; (2) to manage your account and provide you with customer support; (3) to communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you either from us, our affiliate companies or other third parties; (4) to develop and display content and advertising tailored to your interests on the Website and other sites; (5) to resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems; (6) to measure consumer interest in our services; (7) to inform you of updates; (8) to customize your experience; (9) to detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity; (10) to enforce our Terms of Use; and (11) to do as otherwise described to you at the time of collection. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems. In particular, we may examine your Personally Identifying Information to identify users using multiple user IDs or aliases. We may compare and review your Personally Identifying Information for accuracy and to detect errors and omissions. We may use financial information or payment method to process payment for any purchases made on the Website, enroll you in the discount, rebate, and other programs in which you elect to participate, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions and otherwise as needed to manage our business.
Choice and control of personal data
We provide a variety of ways for you to control the personal data we hold about you, including choices about how we use that data. In some jurisdictions, these controls and choices may be enforceable as rights under applicable law.
If you wish to access, copy, download, correct, or delete personal data about you that we hold, please contact us described in the “Contact Us” section below.
You can choose whether to receive promotional communications from us by email or SMS. If you receive promotional email or SMS messages from us and would like to stop, you can do so by following the directions in that message or by contacting us as described in the “Contact Us” section below. These choices do not apply to certain informational communications including surveys and mandatory service communications.
To opt-out from or otherwise control targeted advertising, you can use the Global Privacy Control setting in a web browser or browser extension as described below. You can use the opt-out controls offered by the organizations our advertising partners may participate in, which you can access at:
You can use the other cookie or mobile ID controls described below.
These choices are specific to the device or browser you are using. If you access our services from other devices or browsers, take these actions from those systems to ensure your choices apply to the data collected when you use those systems.
Some privacy laws define “sale” broadly to include some the disclosures described in the “Our Disclosure of Personal Data” section above. To opt-out from such data “sales” you can use the Global Privacy Control setting mentioned above.
Your Ability to Change Personally Identifying Information; Account Termination
You may at any time review or change your Personally Identifying Information by going to your account settings (if applicable) or contacting us using the contact information below. Upon your request, we will deactivate or delete your account and contact information from our active databases. Such information will be deactivated or deleted as soon as practicable based on your account activity and accordance with our deactivation policy and applicable law. To make this request, either go to your account settings (if applicable) or contact us as provided below. We will retain in our files some Personally Identifying Information to prevent fraud, to troubleshoot problems, to assist with any investigations, to enforce our Terms of Use and to comply with legal requirements as is permitted by law. Therefore, you should not expect that all your Personally Identifying Information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests. Additionally, we keep a history of changed information to investigate suspected fraud with your account.
COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTIES GENERALLY
Company prohibits its employees, contractors, and affiliates from disclosing Personally Identifying Information received from Company, other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to Personally Identifying Information that users provide directly to those third parties, or that those third parties collect for themselves. These third parties include advertisers, providers of services, utilities, widgets and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Website. Company neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications accessible through the Website. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on the Website, directly through the Website or otherwise, and before providing any Personally Identifying Information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website or application, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.
Browser or platform controls.
Cookie controls. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our website. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated.
Global Privacy Control. Some browsers and browser extensions support the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) or similar controls that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales and/or targeted advertising, as specified by applicable law. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting or similar control that is recognized by regulation or otherwise widely acknowledged as a valid opt-out preference signal.
Do Not Track. Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Unlike the GPC described above, there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal; therefore, our websites do not respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the GPC, cookie controls, and advertising controls described above.
Mobile advertising ID controls. iOS and Android operating systems provide options to limit tracking and/or reset the advertising IDs.
Email web beacons. Most email clients have settings that allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, including web beacons, which prevents the automatic connection to the web servers that host those images.
Except for the automated controls described above, if you send us a request to exercise your rights or these choices, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may decline requests in certain cases. For example, we may decline requests where granting the request would be prohibited by law, could adversely affect the privacy or other rights of another person, would reveal a trade secret or other confidential information, or would interfere with a legal or business obligation that requires retention or use of the data. Further, we may decline a request where we are unable to authenticate you as the person to whom the data relates, the request is unreasonable or excessive, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Finally, please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to your “personal information,” which is separate from “medical information” or “protected health information.”
Data Retention
Admired.com may retain your information for as long as it believes necessary; as long as necessary to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes, and/or enforce its agreements; and/or as long as needed to provide you with the products and/or services of the Service or Admired.com. Admired.com may dispose of or delete any such information at any time except as set forth in any other agreement or document executed by Admired.com or as required by law.
Similarly, the Medical Groups and Providers may retain your information for as long as they believe necessary; as long as necessary to comply with their respective legal obligations, resolve disputes and/or enforce its agreements; and/or as long as needed to provide you with the products and/or services of the Medical Groups and Providers.

In connection with any transaction that you conduct through the Service (e.g., the purchase or sale of any products or services on or through the Service), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction, including, without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date, your billing address, your shipping address, your phone number and/or your email address. By submitting such information, you grant Admired.com without charge the irrevocable, unencumbered, universe-wide and perpetual right to provide such information to third parties (e.g., payment processing companies, buyers on the Service, sellers on the Service) for the purpose of facilitating the transaction.
All credit card, debit card and other monetary transactions on or through the Service occur through an online payment processing application(s) accessible through the Service. This online payment processing application(s) is provided by Admired.com' third-party online payment processing vendor, Stripe ("Stripe").

Reference is made to the Stripe Policies for informational purposes only and are in no way incorporated into or made a part of this Privacy Policy. Admired.com' relationship with Stripe, if any, is merely contractual in nature, as Stripe nothing more than a third-party vendor to Admired.com and is in no way subject to Admired.com' direction or control; thus, their relationship is not, and should not be construed as, one of fiduciaries, franchisors-franchisees, agents-principals, employers-employees, partners, joint venturers or the like.
Jurisdictional Issues
The Service may only be used within certain states within the United States as described in our Terms and Conditions. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy, and our collection, use, and disclosure of your information, is governed by U.S. law.
Notice to Users Outside the United States
The Website is hosted in the United States of America and is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing our Website from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you may be viewed as transferring your personal information to us in the United States, and by using our Website, you consent to that transfer and use of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If your use of the Website would be unlawful in your jurisdiction, please do not use the Website. Further, note that your jurisdiction may offer a more limited or different level of protection with respect to the privacy of your data.
BY USING OR ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
California Residents
If you are a California resident and the processing of personal information about you is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have certain rights with respect to that information.
Notice at Collection. At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices, including the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information to be collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is sold or shared, and how long such information is retained. You can find those details in this statement by clicking on the above links.
Right to Know. You have a right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you. You also have a right to request additional information about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of such personal information. Note that we have provided much of this information in this privacy statement. You may make such a “request to know” by emailing us at [email protected]
Rights to Request Correction or Deletion. You also have rights to request that we correct inaccurate personal information and that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions. To make a request to correct or delete, email us at [email protected].
Right to Opt-Out / “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”. You have a right to opt-out from future “sales” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA.
Note that the CCPA defines “sell,” “share,” and “personal information” very broadly, and some of our data sharing described in this privacy statement may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under those definitions. In particular, we let advertising and analytics providers collect identifiers (IP addresses, cookie IDs, and mobile IDs), activity data (browsing, clicks, app usage), device data, and geolocation data through our sites and apps when you use our online services, but do not “sell” or “share” any other types of personal information. If you do not wish for us or our partners to “sell” or “share” personal information relating to your visits to our sites for advertising purposes, you can make your request by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of the page or using a Global Privacy Control. If you opt-out using these choices, we will not share or make available such personal information in ways that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA. However, we will continue to make available to our partners (acting as our service providers) some personal information to help us perform advertising-related functions. Further, using these choices will not opt you out of the use of previously “sold” or “shared” personal information or stop all interest-based advertising.]21
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have a right to limit our use of sensitive personal information for any purposes other than to provide the services or goods you request or as otherwise permitted by law.
To opt-out from such additional purposes, please visit click on “Your Privacy Choices” page or use the Global Privacy Control described in the “Choice and Control” section of this statement.
You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights under the CCPA. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
Further, to provide, correct, or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. We will verify your request by asking you to send it from the email address associated with your account or requiring you to provide information necessary to verify your account.
Finally, you have a right to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights set out in the CCPA.
Additionally, under California Civil Code section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, California residents who have provided personal information to a business with which the individual has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California Customers”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
Please be aware that we do not disclose personal information to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes as defined by this law.
SECURITY
We use reasonable electronic, personnel and physical measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration or misuse. However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your information. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.
We are dedicated to protect all information on the Website as is necessary. However, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Personally Identifying Information by keeping your password confidential. You should change your password immediately if you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to it or your account. If you lose control of your account, you should notify us immediately.
Despite our efforts to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet may be intercepted. We do not utilize encryption systems for emails from us to you. Therefore, we make no representations or warranties regarding the sufficiency of the above security measures. No data transmission over the Internet or through mobile devices can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us on the Website. There is no guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Therefore, the Company is not responsible for any actual or consequential damages that result from a lapse in compliance with this Privacy Policy because of a security breach or technical malfunction. If you have reason to believe that the security of your Account has been compromised, please notify us immediately in accordance with the "Contacting Us" section below.
PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES
Company may, in its sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes to Company’s Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page and the date new versions are posted will be stated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account. Users should regularly check this page for any changes to this Privacy Policy each time you visit, access or use the Service. Company will always post new versions of the Privacy Policy on the Website.

Please note that even if you opt out, we may still send you Service-related communications. We do not currently respond to web browser "do not track" signals or other mechanisms that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information across the networks of websites and online services in which we participate. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy.

This notice outlines your protected health information maintained by our Telehealth Providers(defined below). It highlights how this protected health information may be used, and what your rights are.
Please review carefully and ask any questions prior to proceeding.
Before proceeding, I understand and agree to the following:
By engaging with Admired I certify:
Any content below this line has been written and provided by the Telehealth Providers mentioned above.
PLEDGE REGARDING PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION:
The Telehealth Providers understand that protected health information about you and your health is personal. We are committed to protecting health information about you. This Notice applies to all of the records of your care generated by Telehealth Providers, whether made by Telehealth Providers personnel or your personal doctor or other health care provider.

We are required to follow the procedures in this Notice. We reserve the right to change the terms of this Notice and to make new notice provisions effective for all protected health information that we maintain by:
HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
The following categories describe different ways that we use and disclose protected health information without your written authorization.
For Treatment: We may use protected health information about you to provide you with, coordinate or manage your medical treatment or services. We may disclose protected health information about you to doctors, nurses, technicians, medical students, or other personnel who are involved in taking care of you. Telehealth Providers staff may also share protected health information about you in order to coordinate the different things you need, such as prescriptions, lab work and x-rays. We also may disclose protected health information about you to people outside the Telehealth Providers office who may be involved in your medical care. We may use and disclose protected health information to contact you as a reminder that you have an appointment for treatment or medical care at Telehealth Providers. We may use and disclose protected health information to tell you about or recommend possible treatment options or alternatives or health-related benefits or services.
For Payment for Services: We may use and disclose protected health information about you so that the treatment and services you receive at Telehealth Providers may be billed to and payment may be collected from you, an insurance company or a third party. For example, we may need to give your health plan information about services you received at Telehealth Providers so your health plan will pay us or reimburse you for the service. We may also tell your health plan about the services you are going to receive to obtain prior approval or to determine whether your plan will cover the treatment.
For Health Care Operations: We may use and disclose protected health information about you for Telehealth Providers health care operations, such as our quality assessment and improvement activities, case management, coordination of care, business planning, customer services and other activities. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run the facility, reduce health care costs, and make sure that all of our patients receive quality care. We may also combine protected health information about many Telehealth Providers patients to decide what additional services Telehealth Providers should offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain new treatments are effective. We may also disclose information to doctors, nurses, technicians, medical students, and other Telehealth Providers personnel for review and learning purposes. We may also combine the protected health information we have with protected health information from other health care facilities to compare how we are doing and see where we can make improvements in the care and services we offer. We may remove information that identifies you from this set of protected health information so others may use it to study healthcare and health care delivery without learning who the specific patients are. We may also contact you as part of a fundraising effort. Subject to applicable state law, in some limited situations the law allows or requires us to use or disclose your health information for purposes beyond treatment, payment, and operations. However, some of the disclosures set forth below may never occur at our facilities.
As Required By Law: We will disclose protected health information about you when required to do so by federal, state or local law.
Research: We may disclose your PHI to researchers when their research has been approved by an institutional review board or privacy board that has reviewed the research proposal and established protocols to ensure the privacy of your information.
Health Risks: We may disclose protected health information about you to a government authority if we reasonably believe you are a victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. We will only disclose this type of information to the extent required by law, if you agree to the disclosure, or if the disclosure is allowed by law and we believe it is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to you or another person.
Judicial and Administrative Proceedings: If you are involved in a lawsuit or dispute, we may disclose your information in response to a court or administrative order. We may also disclose health information about you in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process by someone else involved in the dispute, but only if efforts have been made, either by us or the requesting party, to tell you about the request or to obtain an order protecting the information requested.
Business Associates: We may disclose information to business associates who perform services on our behalf (such as billing companies); however, we require them to appropriately safeguard your information.

Health Oversight Activities: We may disclose health information to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law. These activities include audits, investigations, and inspections, which may be necessary for licensure and for the government to monitor the health care system, government programs, and compliance with civil rights laws.

Coroners, Medical Examiners, and Funeral Directors: We may release protected health information to a coroner or medical examiner. This may be necessary, for example, to identify a deceased person or determine the cause of death. We may also disclose protected health information to funeral directors consistent with applicable law to enable them to carry out their duties.
Correctional Institutions and Other Law Enforcement Custodial Situations: If you are an inmate of a correctional institution or under the custody of a law enforcement official, we may release protected health information about you to the correctional institution or law enforcement official as necessary for your or another person’s health and safety.
Worker’s Compensation: We may disclose information as necessary to comply with laws relating to worker’s compensation or other similar programs established by law.
