Using our Services
You must follow any policies made available to you within the Services.
Don’t misuse our Services. For example, don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. You may use our Services only as permitted by law, including applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations. We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you if you do not comply with our terms or policies or if we are investigating suspected misconduct.
Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access. You may not use content from our Services unless you obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services. Don’t remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.
Our Services display some content that is not from Sharecare. This content is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t assume that we do.
In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages, and other information. You may opt out of some of those communications.
Some of our Services are available on mobile devices. Do not use such Services in a way that distracts you and prevents you from obeying traffic or safety laws.
Your Sharecare Account
You may need a Sharecare Account in order to use some of our Services. You may create your own Sharecare Account.
To protect your Sharecare Account, keep your password confidential. You are responsible for the activity that happens on or through your Sharecare Account.

Privacy
Sharecare’s Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use our Services. By using our Services, you agree that Sharecare can use such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Advertising
We and our service providers may use information about your interactions with our Services to predict your interests and select the ads you see on and off our Site. This is known as interest-based advertising. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). Sharecare does not advertise, market, or promote products or services to patients, participants, or practitioners who receive services as part of a Sharecare Enterprise Program, meaning that you receive Sharecare’s services through your participation with your employer or health plan. In the event your health plan sponsor, employer, or health plan, through which you receive services, instructs us provide advertising content on this site, Sharecare would first obtain your valid authorization in compliance with applicable data privacy laws.
Use the TrustArc Ads Preference Manager, or click on the YourAdChoices Icon at the bottom of every page of the Sharecare web sites, to opt-out of interest-based advertising from Sharecare.
For more information about interest-based advertising and how you can opt out, visit:

- Network Advertising Initiative: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/
Mobile opt outs:
The DAA offers a separate choice tool for the collection of cross-app data on a mobile device for interest-based advertising and other applicable uses. To exercise choice for companies participating in this choice tool, you can install the DAA’s AppChoices app (see http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices). Many mobile devices also offer their own opt-outs for interest-based advertising. Please refer to your device settings and instructions for additional information.
Your Content in our Services
Some of our Services allow you to upload, submit, store, send or receive content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.
When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give Sharecare (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services. Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that Service. Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit to our Services.
Our automated systems analyze your content to provide you personally relevant product features. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored.
If you have a Sharecare Account, we may display your Profile name, Profile photo, and actions you take on Sharecare or on third-party applications connected to your Sharecare Account in our Services, including displaying in ads and other commercial contexts.
You can find more information about how Sharecare uses and stores content in the privacy policy or additional terms for particular Services. If you submit feedback or suggestions about our Services, we may use your feedback or suggestions without obligation to you.

About these Terms
