<div id="introduction"><h3>INTRODUCTION AND APPLICABILITY</h3>

<p>This Privacy Policy describes how we handle Personal Information we collect when you interact with our products, services, and digital properties that specifically reference this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “Services”). Examples of our Services include mobile applications, digital biomarkers (including digital and wearable devices), websites, online advertisements, platforms and communications that relate to clinical and research-related studies, and care management platforms and solutions.<br>

This Privacy Policy applies when Verily is responsible for making decisions about how your Personal Information is used and disclosed (as a “controller”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that Verily handles to perform services on behalf of Verily’s business customers (as a “processor”), including business customers that are healthcare providers, health plans and research sponsors. In those cases, our business customers (not Verily) control how your information is handled, so we encourage you to review our customers’ privacy policies. This Privacy Policy also does not apply to certain information that is subject to health regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and ethical frameworks governing research studies (like the Common Rule) that apply to some of the research studies and clinical trials we manage. Verily may also provide you with a more specific privacy policy for certain services, in which case that more specific privacy notice will apply rather than this Privacy Policy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>

For example, Verily may manage wellness programs and research studies as a “processor” (or “business associate” when subject to HIPAA) to our business customers, such as health plans, healthcare providers, and research study sponsors.&nbsp; In many cases, the information we handle as a “processor” will be similar to the information that we collect as a “controller” (such as health information and your contact information) and used for similar purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. However, when we handle this information as a “processor,” our business customer’s privacy policy applies to that information instead of this Verily Privacy Policy, and you should contact that business customer with questions or to exercise any data subject rights.<br>

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Using the Services is voluntary. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.</p>

<div id="categories-of-information-we-collect"><h3>CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT</h3>

<p>Depending on how you interact with our Services, we may collect the following categories of “Personal Information” (meaning data that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you):<b></b></p>
