3. HOW WE RECEIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION
A. Interactions with Our Access Channels
We receive or collect personal information about users in any manner in which they communicate with us and in which we communicate
with them, including, without limitation, automated collection of personal information. We receive this information
in many different ways, which includes (without limitation), the following:
- through interactions with our websites (“our website”),
- by sending and receiving text and email messages,
- through a mobile device application that you or your representatives download to your mobile device (“our
app”),
- through our interactive telephone systems, and
- through telephone or videophone conversations with our personnel.
We call these means through which personal information is collected “access channels.”
B. Personal Information About You
We may get personal information about you from yourself, from your representatives, and from other persons through any of
the access channels.
C. Personal Information about Your Representatives
We may get personal information about your representatives from you and from your representatives through any of the access
channels. We may also get personal information about your representatives from other persons.
D. Personal Information about Other Persons
We may get personal information about other persons from the other person himself/herself or those who engage those other
persons as an employee or service provider.
4. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE RECEIVE
A. Personal Information About You
(1) Generally
As you will see below, we get a lot of information about you. After all, information about your health, your injury, your
treatment, your employer, your insurance, your recovery, and the like can result in our receiving a lot of
information about you.
Except for the uses of information described in Section 6, we only use this information to provide services to you, to your
employer, and the relevant workers compensation insurance company to assist with the management of workers
compensation claims, including, without limitation, providing assistance related to health and medical care
associated with injuries.
We believe that acquiring this information is useful to you, to your employer, and to your workers compensation insurance
company. We can do some really useful things with your information, such as:
- Helping you to find the healthcare provider that may be the best level of treatment for your injury.
- Helping you with transportation to your healthcare appointments.
- Helping you with assessing the scope of your injury.
- Helping you with exercises to help you recover.
- Helping make your insurance claim easier to process.
- Helping you to recover from your injury and get you back to work.
The specific services we provide you will vary with the services that your employer or workers compensation insurance company,
or their contractors, contract with us to provide.
It is also important for you to know that it is not a good idea to lie to your employer or insurance provider about the status
of your injury or recovery. Some of the information we collect or receive can help determine whether you
are telling us—and more importantly your workers compensation insurance company or employer——whether you
are being truthful about your injury and recovery. For example, (i) if you are telling your insurance company
that you are bedridden, we may be able to tell whether you went to a baseball game or the grocery store;
(ii) if you are telling your employer or insurance company that you can’t raise your arm above the top of
your shoulder, we may be able to tell whether you can do that or not. As with many things in life, it is
important not to lie. Our services may allow us to catch you if you do. Misrepresentations to your employer
or insurance company may be criminal, result in civil liability, could result in the loss of insurance benefits,
or could result in your being fired by your employer.
(2) Information We Receive About You
We may receive the following personal information from you, your representatives or other providers:
- Your name,
- Your home address,
- Your email addresses,
- Your phone numbers,
- Your employer, its contact information and where you work,
- What workers compensation carrier is involved in your workers compensation claim and its contact information,
- The status of your workers compensation claim,
- What health care professionals you either use or have been recommended to you,
- Information about your injury and the circumstances surrounding your injury,
- How you have been or are being treated for your injury, your health status, and how you are responding to
treatment,
- Health insurance information,
- Information about your appointments with health care providers,
- Payment information (for example, information about where to send workers compensation claim money), and
- Other personal information that either is or may be relevant to your health, healthcare, or insurance claim.
(3) Location Information
If you download our app to your mobile device, we use information about your location. You can control whether and when we
collect that information by adjusting the location settings on your mobile device. For example, you can allow
us to receive location information at all times, only when your mobile device is running our app, or not
at all.
(4) Movement Information
Many mobile devices can detect movement. If you download our app, we will capture certain information related to your movements
(or, more accurately, the movement of your mobile device). We only collect movement information when our
app is active on your mobile device.
(5) Biometric Information
Biometric information is information about you that can be measured about you physically. Examples of biometric information
include heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, blood sugar levels, pictures of injuries, exercise and
exercise patterns, skin tone, skin temperature, weight, and anything else about you that can be captured
by the functionality of your mobile device or devices that communicate with your mobile device.
Some mobile devices, or other devices that communicate with mobile devices, collect biometric information. For example, if
you use an iWatch, an Android watch, a fitness tracker, or a similar device, we may capture biometric information
that can be captured by these devices. Our capture of this information is limited by the kinds of biometric
information that these devices capture. We receive this information from your mobile device if your mobile
device captures this information itself or receives this information from your iWatch, Android watch, fitness
tracker, or similar device. We may receive this information immediately or when our app syncs with the biometric
device information on your mobile device.
We only capture this information while you are using our app; however, while you use our app, we may receive biometric information
that has been stored on your mobile device.

name and contact information for your representatives and obtain information about their ability or willingness
to assist you in the future.
C. Personal Information About Other Persons

we can perform our Services. For example, we may keep track of certain employees or contractors of your employer
who serves as our contact about your workers compensation claim.
