Online Privacy Policy for Oula Health

Effective Date: September 23, 2024

Effective Date: August 19th, 2024

Oula Health, Inc. (“Oula Health,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a company that collects and provides information to users of our website www.oulahealth.com and any interactive mobile application that Oula Health may develop from time to time (the “App,” and collectively, the “Sites”) regarding obstetrics, prenatal and midwifery care. We value your relationship with us and are dedicated to protecting the privacy of your personal information.

The Sites are owned, operated, licensed, and controlled by Oula Health. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) describes the types of personal information we collect from our customers, website visitors, and other individuals (collectively, “you”) when they visit our Sites. This Policy also describes how we use your personal information, under what circumstances we may share it and with whom, and your rights and choices regarding that information. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means any individually identifiable information about an individual, including but not limited to name, e-mail address, telephone number, or any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual.

Please note that your health and medical information and other personal information collected for purposes of providing healthcare is regulated by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and similar federal and state laws (collectively “protected health information”), including the privacy and security protections of those laws. Accordingly, this Policy does not pertain to protected health information. Any coverage of protected health information in this Policy is incidental and provided merely to enhance your understanding of our data collection and use practices, and does not waive or override our obligations under other laws. Please visit our Patient Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices for more information regarding collection and use of protected health information.

This Policy also does not apply to third-party sites, products, or services, even if they link to our Sites, and we encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site with which you choose to interact. Where links to third-party sites are integrated in our Sites, we will make every effort to clearly mark them as such.

  1. Collection of Personal Information

We may collect the following categories of personal information about you that you choose to provide to us when you use the Sites, including when you contact us or respond to our communications, create a new account on our Sites, or participate in our events.

We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically collect information about you, your computer or mobile device, your activity over time on our Site and other online services, and your interactions with our communications, such as:


We may create aggregated, de-identified, or anonymous information from personal information by removing certain data components (such as your first and last name, email address, or linkable tracking ID) that makes the data identifiable, or through aggregation, obfuscation, or other means.  For example, we may use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information to understand how to improve or enhance our Site. Subject to applicable law, our use of such aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information is not personal information subject to this Policy.

Finally, we may combine information that we collect through our Site and Services with information that we receive from other sources, both online and offline, and use such combined information in accordance with this Policy.

We may use the personal information that we collect about you online for the following purposes:

We may combine personal information collected from you via the Sites with other information we obtain from our business records or third-party sources in order to provide you with a better experience and to provide and improve and maintain our Sites and the products and services we offer. Additionally, personal information collected about you from a particular browser or device may be linked to personal information collected from another computer or device that we believe relates to you.

We may share personal information collected online with our vendors, partners and other entities, consistent with the circumstances in which we have collected the information as follows:

The Sites may use cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience, for performance and analytics, and to customize and enhance our content, products, and services. A “cookie” is a small text file that a web server stores in browser software. A browser sends cookies to a server when the browser makes a connection to that server (for example, when requesting a web page from the same domain that created the cookie).

The general purpose of cookies is to remember a browser over time and distinguish one browser instance (or user) from all others. Some cookies and other technologies may track the personal information users provide when they interact with a site, and may store such personal information. We use first-party and third-party cookies to ensure that our Sites function properly, to understand how individuals use and engage with our Sites and to analyze and improve our Site.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to block or delete all cookies in your browser’s settings using the links provided below. Please note that if you block essential cookies, certain parts of the Sites may not function properly.

The Sites do not support Do-Not-Track functionality. Do-Not-Track is a preference you can set on your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be “tracked” by third parties. We do not respond to Do-Not-Track Signals as we do not track you when you leave the Sites. Our third party service providers, such as those who provide web analytics services to us, may not respond to Do-Not-Track signals. If you come to the Sites with a Do-Not-Track signal enabled on such user’s browser, we do not look for the Do-Not-Track signal or respond to it.

We do not engage in interest-based advertising. Interest-based advertising (also known as targeted advertising) refers to the practice of collecting information from a computer or device regarding a visitor’s web-browsing activities across non-affiliated websites over time to deliver advertisements that may be of interest to that visitor based on their browsing history. We do not authorize the collection of personal information from our users for third party use through advertising technologies.

If you would like to stop receiving our emailed newsletter or other electronic messages and notifications, you may do so by following the unsubscribe instructions that appear in our email or text communications. We will endeavor to comply with these requests as soon as reasonably practicable. Please be advised that you may not be able to opt-out of receiving certain service or transactional email messages from us that are required to provide you with our Services. You have the option to opt out of receiving automated calls or texts from us at any time. To do so, simply reply with STOP via text message to any text message we send you. Upon receiving your request, we will cease sending automated calls or texts to the phone number from which you sent the opt-out request. Please note that standard message and data rates may apply.

  1. California “Shine the Light” Law

California residents additionally have the right to request information regarding third parties to whom Oula Health has disclosed certain categories of personal information during the preceding year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” Law.  Note, however, that we do not disclose Personal Information for marketing purposes.  Personal information under this California law means any information that identified, described, or was able to be associated with an individual at the time of disclosure. We do not disclose this type of personal information to third parties for their own purposes, and we permit you to opt-out of any disclosures of non-identifiable personal information. However, if you are a California resident and would like to inquire further, please contact us. You must include your full name, email address and postal address in your email or mail request so that we can verify your California residence and respond.

  1. Your Nevada Privacy Rights

Nevada residents have the right to request to opt out of any “sale” of their personal information under Nevada SB 220. You may request to opt out of the future sale of your personal information. If you are a Nevada resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us. You must include your full name, email address and postal address in your email or mail request so that we can verify your Nevada residence and respond. In the event we sell your personal information after the receipt of your request, we will make reasonable efforts to comply with such request.

The privacy and security of your personal information is deeply important to us. To that end, Oula Health maintains technical, administrative and physical safeguards to help protect the security of your personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, misuse or disclosure. Your personal information is accessible to only a limited number of personnel who need access to the information to perform their duties. Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Oula Health offers its obstetrics, prenatal and midwifery care, and related products and services, to individuals in the United States only. As such, our Sites are operated from the United States and intended only for customers and web visitors located in the United States. Any collection of personal information from individuals located outside the United States is unintentional and/or incidental.

That said, it is possible that your personal information is transferred outside of your state, country, or other governmental jurisdiction in order for Oula Health to render the collection, use, and sharing practices disclosed elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. Those jurisdictions may have data protection rules that are different from those of your jurisdiction. If so, we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your personal information remains protected to the standards described in this Privacy Policy. Personal information transferred to another country may be subject to lawful access requests by courts, law enforcement agencies, or other government authorities in those other countries.

Our Sites are not directed toward individuals under the age of 13 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personal information from Children, and no personal information should be submitted to our Sites by Children. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a Child, we will delete that personal information as permitted by law. You must be old enough to consent to the processing of your personal information in your country, and you must be at least 18 years of age to use our services. If you believe we may have any collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without parental consent, please submit a written request via the email to privacy@oulahealth.com.

  1.  Links to Other Sites

Our Sites may contain links or otherwise provide access to third-party sites, which may include websites or mobile applications. These links are maintained for your informational purposes only and to point you toward the products and services of third parties that we believe may be of interest to you. Please note that we have no control over and are not responsible for third-party sites, their content, or any products or services available through the third-party sites. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites with which you choose to interact.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date this Privacy Policy is current as of the Effective Date above. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy that expand our rights to collect new personal information or to use differently any personal information that we have previously collected about you, we will use our available contact information about you to reasonably notify you of the updates and provide you with the new disclosures by posting it on our Sites and/or via email. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy often to stay informed of how we may process your personal information.
