Wherehab collects both Personal Information and Anonymous information through the standard operation of the Services. This information is used to identify you as a Wherehab subscriber, track your preferences and settings, and to improve and personalize your experience. Certain information is required for the effective operation of the Services. These types of information are defined in the subparts below and used as described in the corresponding sections.

 

Some information is collected automatically when you access our Services. Some information we will ask you for, and some information you may provide voluntarily. We will not ask you for information for which there is no relevant purpose, and we will not share information that identifies you with unauthorized third parties. The following section will explain what types of information we collect.

Information you give us.

    • In order to use our services, you must sign up for an account. We will ask you for some personal information when you are activating this account, such as your name, your phone number, and your email address. We will also ask you for personal information such as your sobriety date. We use this information to help tailor our services to your needs, and we do not share this information with anyone outside of your approved support network. To add contacts within the Services, we ask for a contact’s phone number. We do not share your contacts with anyone.

When you check-in to an activity, we record your location using the location services on your device, and the length of your stay. This helps you to stay accountable, and may be required for your support program. This function can be turned off in the settings menu of the application. Please be aware that disabling the GPS tracking may impede the function of the services, and may prevent you from complying with certain terms of your treatment program.
  • Information we get from your care providers or treatment centers
    • In the event that someone, such as your treatment facility, provides us with information about you, this information is considered private and confidential, and will not be shared with unauthorized third parties unless the information has been aggregated or deidentified (i.e. combined with other information and/or stripped of your personal details so a third party would not be able to know the information is about you or relates to you).
