Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 11, 2023
This Privacy Notice describes how Thrive Health Group, Inc. (“Fridays”) uses, discloses, and protects the personal information we collect through the Fridays website, JoinFridays.com.
Key Privacy Points
We hope you read this entire Privacy Notice for full detail, but here are some key points:
- Fridays does not presently provide medical advice.Instead, we help individuals establish and maintain a relationship with certain third-party healthcare providers (“Healthcare Providers”). We also provide some non-medical services and information to our users.
- We ask new users some initial qualifying questions about themselves and their health. These questions were approved by the relevant Healthcare Providers. If the answers to those questions meet certain criteria specified by a Healthcare Provider, the Healthcare Provider will invite the user to schedule an initial appointment and establish an account on the Healthcare Provider’s own patient portal (the “Patient Portal”), which is not operated by Fridays or Fridays’ service providers.
- The Patient Portal may have the Fridays logo, but it is operated by the Healthcare Provider or its service providers.At the Patient Portal, the user will answer a more detailed questionnaire designed by the Healthcare Provider, which will request additional medical information and other personal information.
- Payment, diagnosis, and any provision of telehealth will happen through the Patient Portal and other services operated by the Healthcare Provider or its service providers (collectively with the Patient Portal, the “Healthcare Provider Sites”), not through Fridays’ site. Diagnosis or treatment may also require obtaining lab work or prescriptions through third-party labs and pharmacies that are not operated by or for Fridays (collectively, “Third Party Suppliers”).
- The user’s relationship with the Healthcare Provider, and the user’s use of the Patient Portal and other Healthcare Provider Sites, are subject to the privacy policies and practices of the Healthcare Provider and its service providers, not this Privacy Notice, even though the Fridays logo may appear on the Patient Portal.
- The user’s relationship with Third Party Suppliers is subject to the privacy policies and practices of the Third Party Suppliers and their service providers, not this Privacy Notice (regardless of whether the Fridays logo appears as part of the user’s interactions with them).
