Modern Health

Update: Modern Health updated their policy around May 1, 2022 to say they utilize tracking for advertising on their marketing website and not on their platform. This is a good step forward even if we still have questions about their collection and use of the data for targeted advertising purposes.

Update: Modern Health updated their privacy policy again June 30, 2022. In this update to their privacy policy they clarify that they “do not sell, disclose, and/or share your Personal Information to other businesses or third parties for monetary or valuable consideration.” Modern Health also clarified how they do targeted advertising.

Their privacy policy now reads, “We do not target any advertisements toward individual consumers or members of our platform. We may engage third party service providers who utilize tracking technologies on our corporate website (www.modernhealth.com) to serve advertisements that may be of interest to potential employer-buyers of our Services. Some of these advertisements may be personalized, meaning that the advertisements are intended to be relevant to potential employer-buyers based on what we, or the third party service providers, know about them, such as employment at or agency for a company that might be interested in offering Modern Health as a benefit to its employees.”

Finally, Modern Health clarified in their privacy policy data sharing with employers by saying, “We do not share any Personal Information with employers unless necessary to prevent imminent harm (e.g., crisis management) or as required by law. We only share anonymized and aggregated information with employers.”

“If you are accessing the service through an employer (such as single sign-on), your employer may collect information about your login activity, including whether and when you access Modern Health Services. Modern Health does not control the information collection practices of employers or other benefit providers, and you should consult their internal policies and procedures for more information about their information collection practices.”

Modern Health's privacy policy reads, “…we may receive Personal Information about you from our customers (who may be your employer) to enable us to validate your eligibility to use the Service. This information may include your name, work email address, postal code, date of birth, gender, race/ethnicity, employee ID number or code (if applicable), employment start and end dates, department, title, job code (if applicable), office location, performance information, health claims data, or survey information about your work satisfaction and related topics.”

Modern Health says they do some targeted interest-based advertising, “We do not target any advertisements toward individual consumers or members of our platform. We may engage third party service providers who utilize tracking technologies on our corporate website (www.modernhealth.com) to serve advertisements that may be of interest to potential employer-buyers of our Services. Some of these advertisements may be personalized, meaning that the advertisements are intended to be relevant to potential employer-buyers based on what we, or the third party service providers, know about them, such as employment at or agency for a company that might be interested in offering Modern Health as a benefit to its employees.”

When permitted by law, Modern Health may also enhance or combine information about you, including your Personal Information, with information about you that we obtain from third parties. “We may combine information that is obtained from your use of the Services with information obtained from such third parties in order to provide you with more personalized Services.”
