VIII. TRACKING PREFERENCES AND DO-NOT-TRACK SIGNALS
We may use automated data collection technologies to track activity across our Websites and Applications. These technologies allow us to analyze usage, improve Services, and better understand how users interact with peer-support groups and digital tools.
Some web browsers and mobile devices permit you to send “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals to websites and online services. At this time, AriasHealth.ai, Inc. does not respond to Do Not Track signals. We may continue to collect information about your online activity even if such a signal is received.
We may also use automated data collection technologies to gather information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or services (known as “behavioral tracking”). These practices are common and help improve personalization and relevance of the Services.
If you do not wish to be tracked for interest-based advertising, you may use tools provided by industry organizations (such as the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance) to opt out of behavioral tracking across third-party platforms.
IX. DATA SECURITY
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encryption, secure servers, role-based access, and ongoing monitoring of systems for vulnerabilities.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. If you create an account and choose a password to access certain parts of our Websites or Applications, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask that you do not share your password with anyone.
While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information electronically is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted through our Websites or Applications. Any transmission of information is at your own risk.
For participants in IRB-approved research studies conducted with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), additional safeguards apply. Data collected in that context is governed by HIPAA, federal research regulations, and IRB protocols. AriasHealth.ai, Inc. only handles such data in compliance with these standards and does not use research data for commercial purposes.
We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings, security measures, or device protections contained on our Websites, Applications, operating systems, or personal devices.
X. USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
AriasHealth.ai, Inc. incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance our Services. AI is used to improve peer-support group formation, personalize content delivery, and analyze de-identified engagement data to strengthen our ability to reduce loneliness and support the brain–heart connection.

No Clinical Diagnosis or Treatment
