Introduction

TWILIGHT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("Company" or "We") respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the website https://www.twilight.care (our "Website") or otherwise use our services (the “Services”), as well as our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.This policy applies to information we collect:

  • On this Website or through the use of our Services.
  • In email, text, and other electronic messages between you and the Website.
  • Through mobile and desktop applications you download from the Website, which provide dedicated non-browser-based interaction between you and the Website.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.

This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy).

Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

We try not to speak in legalese, but there are some useful definitions we use to describe data we collect in providing the services to you.When we say Personal Information, we use this as a general term to refer to the different data categories we describe in this section that either personally identify you or are about you. Your Personal Information can be either:

  • Individual-level Information: information about a single individual, such as their medical history, diseases or other traits or characteristics.
  • De-identified Information: information that has been stripped of identifying data, such as name and contact information, so that an individual cannot reasonably be identified.

Aggregate Information is different from Personal Information.

Aggregate Information is not Personal Information because Aggregate Information does not contain information about, nor can it reasonably be linked to, a specific individual. Aggregate Information is information about a group of people, such as an analysis or evaluation of a group. Aggregate Information describes the group as a whole in such a way that no specific individual may be reasonably identified. For example, the number of Twilight customers with a specific variant or health condition is Aggregate Information.

Here are the types of Personal Information we collect:

  • Registration Information: information you provide during account registration or when purchasing the services, such as a name, user ID, password, date of birth, billing address, shipping address, payment information (e.g., credit card), account authentication information, or contact information (e.g., email, phone number).
