We do not currently share your personal information with any outside third parties in order for them to market directly to you.

Quartz may disclose your personal information to third parties for the following reasons:

We may use unaffiliated companies such as agents or contractors (“Third Parties”) to help us maintain and operate our Websites, to provide you with services that you have requested, or for other reasons related to the operation of our business (including the information uses listed above). In the event we provide personal information to these Third Parties, they are restricted from using this data in any way other than to provide the required services for us.
We reserve the right to release your personal information if required to do so by law, search warrant, subpoena, court order, upon request of government authorities, or as reasonably necessary to protect Quartz, the individuals that Quartzt serves, or the public.
We may provide your personal information to affiliated entities or third parties in connection with the actual or prospective sale or transfer of some or all of a business to which you submitted your information, or in the event of a corporate change. We may share your personal information with Quartz-affiliated companies and subsidiaries for marketing reasons.

Your personal information and non-personal information may be stored in Quartz databases, affiliated company or subsidiary databases, or databases managed by third party service providers, which are located within and outside of the United States. Your information will be automatically transferred to these databases for storage and maintenance. These databases may be located in countries where privacy rules differ and may be less stringent than those of the country in which you reside.

6. Social Media Platforms
Our Websites’ web pages may embed plugs-ins, widgets, or other apps of various social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. An example of such a plug-in is Facebook’s “Like” button. When you encounter those embedded objects, your internet browser may make a direct connection to the social media platform’s service and may share information such as which of our Websites you have visited. Our Websites may also be made available through third party social media platforms.

Your participation with the services provided on social media platforms is voluntary. If you choose to sign on using this service, Quartz will collect certain information from your social media account including your public profile, user name, email address, birthday, stated location city, contact lists, and other interactions on that social media platform (such as interests and likes). The information we may have access to will vary by social media platform and is controlled by privacy settings on that platform and your choices on that platform. Your use of services on third party social media platforms are governed by the privacy statement and other terms of use for that third party social media platform, until such information is shared with us, and then such information is also subject to this Privacy Policy.

7. Mobile Applications Privacy Statement
Quartz has developed certain mobile applications that you may download to your mobile device. When you download a mobile application there may be an opportunity for you to provide us with, or for us to obtain, information about you such as contact information, preferences, photographs, and other identifying information. Our mobile application may also collect location information.

Information obtained through a mobile application will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Upon first use, the mobile application will provide a link that allows you to see this Privacy Policy before registering or using the application. You can stop all collection of information by our mobile applications easily by uninstalling the mobile applications.

8. Security
Quartz takes reasonable steps to protect the security of your information, including use of appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards. The nature of the Internet, however, prevents us from guaranteeing the confidentiality of information we receive through the Website or via e-mail. Therefore, please do not use e-mail or this Website (unless you are logged in to your health.com account and use the secure forms available to you once logged in) to communicate information to us that you consider to be confidential.
