Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how MITO HEALTH INC. and its affiliates (collectively, “Mito,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information through our websites, mobile applications, and online services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”), as well as marketing activities, events, and other activities described here. In some cases, we may provide additional or “just-in-time” notices or supplemental policies for specific products or features. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services.
1) Scope & Relationship to Other Notices
- Not a healthcare provider. Mito is a technology platform and not a medical group, health care provider, laboratory, pharmacy, or insurer. Medical, laboratory, and pharmacy services accessible via the Services are provided by independent third parties (collectively, “Providers”).
- HIPAA carve-out. HIPAA does not apply to all personal information we process. When we act as a business associate to a HIPAA-covered entity (e.g., to support Provider services), we handle protected health information under applicable agreements; otherwise, this Privacy Policy applies.
- Consumer Health Data (CHD). Where state consumer health data laws apply, see our Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice (“CHD Notice”), which supplements this Privacy Policy.
- Genomic Data. Where genetic information privacy acts apply, see our Genomic Data Privacy Notice (“GDPN”), which also supplements this Privacy Policy. In the event of a discrepancy between the GDPN and this Privacy Policy, the GDPN will control.
- Controller and processor roles. For most activities, Mito determines the purposes and means of processing (acting as a “controller”). For certain Provider support functions where we process personal information on behalf of a covered entity or enterprise customer, we act as a “processor” or business associate under applicable agreements.
- Consumer Health Data guardrails. We do not use geofencing to target health care facilities in violation of applicable consumer health data (CHD) laws.
2) Personal Information We Collect
Categories of personal information (as applicable):
- Identifiers & contact data: name, email, postal address, phone, unique IDs, account credentials.
- Demographics: age, date of birth, gender/gender identity, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation (collect only if lawful/necessary and with appropriate disclosures/consent).
- Account/profile data: preferences, photos/avatars, social profiles, participation in surveys/promotions.
- Health-related data: health history/conditions, vitals, medications, clinical notes, lab orders/results, medical images/scans, biomarker data, care plans, self-reported health information, and other physical/mental health information you provide or that Providers/labs share as permitted.
- Genetic data: biological samples, genomic data files and insights, and other data related to inherited characteristics where tests produce such outputs as described in our GDPN. We obtain affirmative, opt-in consent where required before collecting or processing genetic data, and you may withdraw that consent at any time (see Section 7).
- Transactional & payment data: order details, transaction history, last-4 of card (payment processors collect and process full payment instrument details).
- Device & network data: IP address, device identifiers, OS, browser, network and general location (city/state/country).
- Online activity data: usage logs, pages/screens viewed, referring/exit pages, session timestamps, and interactions with emails or in-app messages.
- Communications & support data: chats, emails, SMS, call recordings (where permitted), and feedback.
- User-generated content: posts, stories, images, comments, testimonials submitted to public or shared areas.
- Inferences/derived data: insights we infer about your preferences, features you might use, or general location inferred from IP.
Sources of personal information include: you; your devices; Providers/labs and other third parties you authorize; wearables or connected apps you link; our service providers and analytics/advertising partners; public sources; enterprise customers (if applicable); and our affiliates.
3) How We Use Personal Information
We use personal information to:
- provide, operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Services;
- personalize the Services and communications;
- create, manage, and support accounts; authenticate users; and provide customer support;
- process orders and payments; fulfill and track services; coordinate with Providers/labs;
- verify eligibility and geographic availability; prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- conduct research, testing, quality assurance, and product development;
- send service-related announcements, security alerts, and administrative messages;
- market our Services (you may opt out of marketing communications); and
- comply with laws, enforce terms and policies, and protect rights, safety, and property.
De-identified/aggregated data. We may de-identify and/or aggregate personal information and use or disclose it for any lawful purpose, and we will not attempt to re-identify de-identified data except as required by law.
Research. We may use de-identified or aggregated information for internal research, quality assurance, and product development. We disclose identifiable information to external research partners only with your consent or under appropriate legal/ethical safeguards.
De-identification pledge. For de-identified information, we maintain it in de-identified form, do not attempt to re-identify it, and require recipients to do the same.
4) AI-Assisted and Automated Features
We may offer AI-assisted tools (e.g., automated chat, summarization, or non-clinical guidance). Outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete and are for informational purposes only. We do not use automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects on you without human review. We may use interactions with these tools to operate, secure, and improve the Services subject to your choices and applicable law. Do not input protected health information unless requested by the relevant feature and permitted by our Privacy Policy/CHD Notice.
5) How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to:
- Providers & labs: to facilitate services you request (e.g., test ordering, sample collection, results delivery). Providers/labs set their own policies and may have their own notices.
- Service providers & contractors: hosting, EHR integrations, analytics, customer support, communications, security, payment processing, fulfillment, and similar.
- Payment processors: (e.g., Stripe) process payments directly and use your data per their privacy policies.
- Affiliates & business partners: for operations, research, and co-marketing (with lawful bases and choices provided).
- Advertising/analytics partners: to enable measurement and interest-based advertising (exclude health/genetic data from ad targeting; honor applicable laws).
- Research partners: for approved research under appropriate legal/ethical safeguards.
- Parties to a corporate transaction: actual/prospective buyers, investors, and their advisors.
- Authorities & others: to comply with law; protect rights, privacy, safety, or property; detect/prevent fraud, security, or technical issues; or enforce terms.
- Parties you authorize: other third parties where you instruct us to disclose.
- Advertising and analytics boundaries. We do not use health or genetic data for targeted advertising. We contractually prohibit service providers and advertising/analytics partners from using any health or genetic data for their own independent purposes, and we limit what identifiers we share to what is necessary for measurement and brand-level reach, subject to your choices.
We may also share de-identified/aggregated data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
6) Cookies, Mobile IDs & Similar Technologies
We and our partners use cookies, SDKs, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Services, remember preferences, analyze usage, and (if enabled) tailor communications/ads. You can control cookies through browser settings and device-level settings for mobile advertising IDs. If you disable cookies, some features may not function.
Do Not Track. Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. We currently do not respond to such signals. If we do in the future, we will explain how in this Privacy Policy.
7) Your Choices & Controls
- Account info: access and update certain account details by contacting us.
- Marketing emails: opt out using unsubscribe links or by contacting us.
- SMS: reply STOP to opt out; reply HELP for help. Standard message/data rates may apply.
- Interest-based advertising: manage through browser settings, ad-blocking tools, platform settings (e.g., Google/Facebook), and industry opt-outs such as NAI/DAA. We do not use health/genetic data for interest-based advertising.
- Cookies & web beacons: manage via browser/device settings. Blocking images can limit tracking by clear GIFs.
- Linked devices/services: revoke connections in your device/app or third-party account.
- Withdraw consent. Where we rely on your consent (e.g., certain health/genetic processing or marketing), you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us or via in-app controls where available. Withdrawal does not affect prior processing.
- Portability & deletion. To request an export of your data (in a machine-readable format) or deletion of your account, email help@mitohealth.com or use in-app tools where available. We may retain limited records as required by law, to prevent fraud, or to defend legal claims.
8) Consumer Health Data (CHD) (If Applicable)
Where state CHD laws apply (e.g., WA, CO, NV, CT), we process CHD as described in our separate CHD Notice, including: categories collected; purposes; sources; disclosures; individual rights; appeals; and data security. We do not “sell” or “share” CHD as defined by applicable law, and we do not use geofencing to target health care facilities in violation of CHD laws.
9) HIPAA; Provider Data; Business Associate Agreements (If Applicable)
When Providers/labs disclose your health information to us to support care (e.g., EHR hosting, coordination, messaging), we act under a business associate agreement and handle such information per HIPAA and that agreement. Otherwise, this Privacy Policy governs.
10) Retention
We retain personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for security/fraud prevention. We may retain de-identified data without a time limit. Where feasible, we apply criteria such as data type/sensitivity, purpose, legal requirements, and operational needs to determine retention.
Illustrative retention periods:
- Account & profile data: life of account + up to 3 years.
- Health/biomarker data: life of account + up to 7 years (or longer if required by law).
- Transactions: 7 years (tax/audit).
- Support chats/calls: up to 3 years.
Actual periods may vary based on legal, security, and operational needs.
11) Security
We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information appropriate to the nature of the data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we become aware of a security incident affecting personal information, we will investigate and notify affected individuals and/or authorities as required by law. If a data breach occurs, we will notify affected individuals and/or regulators without undue delay and within required timelines under applicable law.
12) Children’s Privacy
The Services are not intended for individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will delete it.
13) International Data Transfers (If Applicable)
We may process and store personal information in the United States and other countries with privacy laws that may differ from those where you live. Where required, we will implement appropriate transfer mechanisms.
14) State-Specific Privacy Rights (U.S.)
Opt-out of sale/share & targeted advertising. Where required, we provide a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link and a universal opt-out mechanism for targeted advertising. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) and similar browser signals as opt-out requests.
Authorized agents & verification. You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We may require proof of the agent’s authority and verification of your identity.
Appeals. If we deny your request, you may appeal by emailing help@mitohealth.com with “Appeal” in the subject line. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Sensitive personal information. Where state law provides a “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” right, we will provide a means to exercise it and will honor your request as required by law.
15) Third-Party Sites, Services & Social Features
The Services may link to or integrate with third-party websites, apps, devices (e.g., wearables), or services. Their practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy. Provider/lab data practices are governed by their own notices.
16) Testimonials & User-Generated Content
If you submit content or testimonials, certain information may be public. Do not share information you prefer to keep private. We may use testimonials per the permissions you grant.
17) Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last Updated” date and, where required, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
