End User License Agreement (EULA)
All health-related information provided via the App is intended to educate and inform users about the scope of WHS' services; facilitate non-emergency/non-critical connections to providers and medical services; help users learn ways to get well, live well and stay well; and give users improved ways to connect with WHS.

Data We Collect
Effective and ethical data collection and usage are increasingly important in healthcare. Earning and keeping your trust is important to us, and we hope you'll count on WHS to partner with you to get, stay and live well. To assist in this journey, we track many different types of data using the App, like how frequently it's downloaded and used; what features users of our community prefer; if the App positively contributes to general patient goals; locations in the community that would benefit from better access to specific health services; and many other datasets that are used to make decisions on what features and services WHS offers in the future. If you opt-in to using location services, the Wellstar App will use your current location to personalize search results. Although WHS has used reasonable precautions to safeguard the confidentiality of information received and sent through this App, WHS cannot guarantee the confidentiality of such information.
Data We Do Not Collect and Other Apps
The App does not directly provide WHS with any protected health information (PHI) about a user. If you decide to access MyChart, ER Express check-ins, ZocDoc appointment scheduling or other third-party tools through the App, please note that you will leave the App and be subject to terms, conditions and policies associated with those applications, and those apps may provide WHS with PHI.
