Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Rovi Health, Inc. ("Rovi," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use our websites, SMS/text messaging, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Notice at Collection (California)
We collect the categories of personal information described in Section 2 for the purposes in Section 4 and retain them for the periods in Section 10. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. See State-Specific Privacy Rights below for your CPRA rights.
1) HIPAA & Our Role
We handle your health information in compliance with applicable privacy and security laws, including HIPAA where it applies.
When HIPAA applies: We act as a HIPAA Business Associate when we receive Protected Health Information from healthcare providers, health plans, or employers on your behalf. In these cases, we comply with HIPAA's security and privacy requirements.
Consumer health information: When you provide health information directly to us, we protect it using the same rigorous security standards we use for HIPAA-regulated data. We are also subject to the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule and state consumer health data privacy laws.
Enterprise customers: When we work with employer health plans or third-party administrators, we enter into Business Associate Agreements that govern our handling of Protected Health Information under HIPAA.
In all cases, we are committed to protecting your health information with industry-leading security practices.
2) Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve the Services:
A. Contact & Account Information — name, email, phone number, mailing address, and identity verification data.
B. Communications — SMS content, support messages, files you upload (referral forms, insurance cards), and preferences.
C. Health Information — information you provide or authorize us to obtain to coordinate care, including referring provider details, appointment history, insurance eligibility, network status, and procedure orders.
D. Insurance & Benefits Data — eligibility information, benefits, claims data, EHR encounter notices, and other plan data transmitted to us under agreement or your authorization.
E. Technical Data — IP address, device/browser information, pages viewed, timestamps, diagnostic logs, security signals, and usage analytics.
F. Payment Information — if you use paid features, limited payment details processed by our payment processor, along with transaction metadata.
G. Inferences — non-clinical inferences to tailor scheduling options (e.g., preferred appointment times, location preferences).
3) How We Collect Information
- Directly from you (forms, SMS, uploads)
- From your health plan, employer, or healthcare provider, as authorized
- From health record connectivity platforms, with your authorization
- From publicly available sources (provider directories, price transparency files)
- From cookies and analytics tools on our website and app
4) How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide the Services — care navigation, provider matching, scheduling, benefits coordination, reminders, and support.
- Communicate with you — transactional messages, service notices, and troubleshooting.
- Secure and maintain the Services — fraud prevention, threat detection, debugging, and incident response.
- Improve and personalize — product development, analytics, provider recommendations, and service personalization.
- Comply with legal and contractual obligations — regulatory requirements, dispute resolution, and enforcement of our Terms.
- Share at your direction — with your providers, facilities, plans, or authorized representatives to coordinate care.
We will not use your information for materially different purposes without providing notice and, where required by law, obtaining consent.
De-identified data. We may use or disclose de-identified or aggregated information for analytics, research, or improving the Services. When we de-identify information, we commit to maintain and use it in de-identified form and not to re-identify it except as permitted by law.
5) AI & Automated Features
We use automation and AI-assisted software to support non-clinical tasks such as extracting referral details, suggesting providers, generating draft messages, and organizing scheduling information. We do not use AI for medical diagnosis or treatment decisions. You may request human assistance at any point.
Vendor Controls. We engage service providers to process information under data protection agreements. Where available, we configure vendors to disable training on your data and minimize data retention. We instruct vendors not to use your information to train their models or for advertising.
Limitations. AI-generated content may be incomplete or inaccurate and is provided for informational purposes only. Always confirm medical questions with your clinician.
Automated Messaging. Some messages may be sent using automated systems. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.
6) Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, and security. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may impact functionality. We do not use cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising on health-related pages.
Technologies We Use:
- Cookies save your preferences and help us remember your account information to improve your experience.
- Pixels and tags provide analytical information about how visitors use our Services.
- Session replay and analytics tools record interactions with our Services (such as pages visited, clicks, and scrolling) to help us understand user experience, identify technical issues, and improve our product. These tools may capture information you enter into forms. We configure these tools to mask sensitive information like passwords and payment details.
Your Choices: You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly if you do so.
7) How We Share Information
We share information with:
- Service providers supporting hosting, communications (SMS/voice), health data connectivity, identity verification, analytics, security, and payments. They may access information only to perform services for us and are bound by contract.
- Health plans, providers, and employers as authorized to coordinate benefits and care, or under a BAA.
- Third parties at your direction (e.g., family members or caregivers you designate).
- Legal and safety purposes — to comply with law, respond to legal requests, and protect rights, safety, and security.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy's protections.
We do not sell your personal information as defined by applicable privacy laws, nor do we share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
SMS Commitment. We will not share your mobile phone number, consent records, or message content with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. Carriers and authorized message processors may handle phone numbers and message metadata solely to deliver messages and prevent fraud/abuse.
8) Your Privacy Rights

Automated Decision-Making. Where state law grants this right, you may opt out of or request human review of decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
9) Data Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of information, including encryption, access controls, logging, and vendor oversight. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Breach Notification. In the event of a data breach affecting your information, we will notify you as required by applicable law, including the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule and state breach notification laws.
10) Data Retention
We retain information as long as reasonably necessary to provide Services, meet legal and contractual obligations, and resolve disputes. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and applicable law:

We may retain information longer when required by law, necessary for legal proceedings, or to protect our legitimate business interests and legal rights. Upon account closure, we will deactivate your account and delete or de-identify personal information subject to these retention requirements. Backups may persist for a limited period consistent with disaster recovery practices.
