This Privacy Policy covers how Pear Therapeutics, collects, receives, uses, retains, and discloses
Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) of Clinicians (also “you”, “your” or “user”) through the Site.
PII includes information about you that is personally identifying such as your name, email address, and phone number and which is not otherwise publicly available. Only the legal definition of PII that applies to your location will apply to you under this Privacy Policy.
Clinical Partners are hospitals, clinics, practices or other medical groups or healthcare systems that have contracted with Pear Therapeutics to permit use of the Service by their respective Clinicians and Patients; Clinicians are practitioners, patient advocates, coaches or other individuals who (as employees of or contractors to a Clinical Partner) provide healthcare or related services to Patients; and Patients are individual patients of the Clinical Partner who receive medical treatments or other healthcare services from one or more Clinicians, or individuals who are properly authorized representatives of any such patient.
Through their provision of health care services to Patients, Clinicians and Clinical Partners will have access to and be responsible for Patient PII and Patient Protected Health Information as defined by Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rules or other applicable laws. Clinicians and Clinical Partners are responsible for the privacy and security of such information and for obtaining consent from Patients for the use and disclosure of such information to, from and through the App and the Service.

This information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Analytics.” We use Analytics to develop, improve, extend and test the Service (and underlying technology platforms); to market and promote Pear Therapeutics and the Service; and we disclose, distribute and transmit Analytics to Clinical Partners for their use.

Your PII which we processed prior to your request may not be deleted from our Site system records but will be blocked from further processing without your permission.

Protection of Your Information
Pear Therapeutics uses secure server software (SSL), firewalls, and end-to-end encryption to protect your PII from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We will retain PII for as long as necessary to provide our services, but no later than 6 years following termination of Services. We will retain and use PII as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Your PII will be shared with your Clinical Partner. We disclose your PII as well as de-identified information to third party vendors who help us operate the Site. These third parties are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality of your PII consistent with the terms of this Privacy Policy and to comply with the applicable data protection laws.
We will disclose your information in response to valid legal process, for example, in response to a court order, a subpoena or other legal request for information, and/or to comply with applicable legal and regulatory reporting requirements. We also may disclose your information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request or other request for information from the U.S. or other government entities, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our products and/or services and with applicable laws, or as otherwise required or permitted by law or consistent with legal requirements. In addition, we may, upon notice to you and/or your Clinical Partner, transfer your information to an entity or individual that acquires, buys, or merges with Pear Therapeutics, or our other business units.
We share Analytics with Clinical Partners for their internal use and with other third parties to market and promote Pear Therapeutics and the Service.

Your California Privacy Rights; California Do Not Track Disclosures
If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your Personal Information by Pear Therapeutics or its subsidiaries to a third party for the third party’s direct marketing purposes. Since we do not make such disclosures, we are exempt from these reporting requirements.
Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities, over time and across different websites. We do not honor “Do Not Track” signals.
