Introduction
Morley Medical, Inc. ("Morley Medical," "Morley," "we," "us," or "our") values the privacy of its users. This Privacy Policy and PHI Disclaimer of Responsibility outlines our practices and policies regarding the information we collect from you, how we use and disclose your personal information and Protected Health Information ("PHI") as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"), when you use our website, purchase our remote healthcare monitoring devices, and use our monitoring services (collectively, the "Services").

Important: HIPAA status and direct-to-consumer services
Critical Information for Direct-to-Consumer Customers: When you purchase monitoring devices and services directly from Morley Medical as an individual consumer (not through your healthcare provider), Morley Medical is NOT a covered entity under HIPAA, and traditional HIPAA protections do NOT apply to the health information you provide directly to us. However, we voluntarily implement HIPAA-equivalent security standards and privacy protections to safeguard your information.
If you are using our Services through a healthcare provider relationship where we serve as a Business Associate, different HIPAA protections apply, and we will have a separate Business Associate Agreement with that healthcare provider.
Information we collect
Personal Information
Morley Medical collects personal information from you when you visit our website, purchase monitoring devices, enroll in our Services, or interact with us. This information may include:
- Your name, date of birth, and gender
- Email address, phone number, and mailing address
- Emergency contact information
- Payment information (credit card details, billing address)
- Account credentials (username and password)
- Communications with customer support
Health Information and Protected Health Information (PHI)
For Direct-to-Consumer Customers: When you use our remote healthcare monitoring services, we collect health information including:
- Medical history, current health conditions, medications, and allergies provided in your intake form
- Information about your healthcare providers
- Monitoring data collected by your device(s), including vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, weight, glucose levels, respiratory rate, and activity levels
- Self-reported symptoms and health status updates
- AI-generated alerts and health insights based on your monitoring data
- Any health information you share with us through the Services
Important: Unlike our Business Associate relationships where we collect only de-identified PHI, when you use our Services as a direct-to-consumer customer, we collect identifiable health information about you. This is necessary to provide you with personalized monitoring services and AI-powered health insights.
Biometric Information
Depending on the monitoring device(s) you use, we may collect biometric information, which includes unique physiological patterns such as:
- Cardiac rhythms and heart rate patterns
- Respiratory patterns and breathing characteristics
- Blood glucose patterns
- Gait and movement patterns
- Sleep patterns and architecture
Special Notice for Illinois and Texas Residents
If you reside in Illinois or Texas, you have specific rights regarding biometric information under state law. Before we collect any biometric information from you:
- We notify you that we will collect biometric information through your monitoring device(s)
- The purpose for collection is to provide remote healthcare monitoring services and AI-powered health insights
- Your biometric information will be retained for up to three (3) years from your last use of our Services, or a shorter period if required by applicable law, after which it will be permanently destroyed
- We will never sell, lease, or trade your biometric information
- We will protect it using security measures equal to or greater than those used for other confidential information
- We will permanently destroy it when no longer needed or upon your request
- You must provide your informed written consent before we begin collecting biometric information
Technical and Usage Information
We automatically collect:
- Device information (device type, operating system, unique device identifiers)
- IP address and general geographic location
- Usage data (features used, time spent, interaction patterns)
- Log data (access times, pages viewed, errors)
- Monitoring device connectivity and performance data
Minors
The Services are intended only for individuals eighteen (18) years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from individuals under the age of eighteen (18), and individuals under eighteen (18) are not permitted to use the Services or submit any information to us. If we discover that we have collected information from an individual under 18, we will delete such information promptly.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
