Effective Date: 03/19/2026
The website at summaup.com is owned and operated by SummaUp LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company (“SummaUp”, “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Our website links to other websites that are owned by third parties but that we control. This Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (“Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect information from you through our website and the linked third-party websites (collectively, the “Websites”), why we collect information about you, how we use or disclose this information, and how you may update, delete, or request identifiable information about you from our records. In addition, this Privacy Policy provides the terms and conditions of your use of the Websites. By using the Websites, you agree to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, and if you do not agree to the provisions hereof, please do not use any of the Websites.
At SummaUp, we take your privacy seriously. Please read this Privacy Policy to learn how we treat your personal data. By using or accessing our Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined below, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use and share your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
By creating, registering, or logging into an account through the Service, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you are acknowledging the most recent version of this Privacy Policy.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an individual other than yourself, you represent that you are authorized by such individual to act on such individual's behalf and that such individual acknowledges the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy
Remember that your use of SummaUp’s Services is at all times subject to our Terms of Use, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is never shared, sold, or conveyed to third parties for marketing purposes unless you have explicitly opted in. All text messaging data, including opt-in data and consent, will not be shared with any third parties unless required by law
Protected Health Information
When you set up an account with SummaUp, you are creating a direct customer relationship with SummaUp that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform and the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to SummaUp, including but not limited to, your name, email address, shipping address, phone number and certain transactional information, that we do not consider to be "protected health information" or "medical information".
However, in using certain components of the Service, you may also provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. SummaUp is not a "covered entity" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, " HIPAA"). One or more of the Labs, Pharmacies or Medical Groups (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) may or may not be a "covered entity" or "business associate" under HIPAA, and SummaUp may in some cases be a "business associate" of a Pharmacy or Medical Group. It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with SummaUp, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies. To the extent SummaUp is deemed a "business associate" however, and solely in its role as a business associate, SummaUp, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to "protected health information," as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to SummaUp, the Medical Group or the Providers (" PHI"). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, "Protected Information" ), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws.
The Medical Groups and Providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you acknowledge receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Provider(s).
By accessing or using any part of the Service, you understand that even if HIPAA does apply to SummaUp, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies, any information that you submit to SummaUp that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, laboratory services by the Labs or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies, is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. For purposes of clarity, information you provide to SummaUp in order to register and set up an account on the Platform, including name, username, email address, shipping address and phone number, are not considered Protected Information
