Recipes and Resources Pages - Community Activities
HMR has created the "Recipes and Resources Pages" to share information and the experiences of the many people who have participated in HMR Programs, used HMR Products, or in some other way have brought, or would like to bring, HMR's approach to weight management and healthy lifestyles into their lives. You may view the Recipes and Resources Pages and share the content on these pages without creating an Account. However, you will need an Account and a Community Use ID with your first name and the initial of your last name - you may also provide a picture - in order to engage in certain activities on the Recipes and Resources Pages, such as posting, amending and deleting comments from time to time, to also amending and deleting those comments from time to time, "liking" content, and contributing to or starting Forums (collectively, "Community Activities"). Currently, the Recipes and Resources Pages are not allowing new user submitted recipes, success stories or articles, but the pages do contain many of these items we have brought over from past websites sponsored by HMR. The focus of the Recipes and Resources Pages is on building a relationship among HMR-connected people and those who many be interested in HMR to further our mission (to improve the health of others). As part of building an HMR community, you will have the opportunity to submit ideas for, and user-generated content on, HMR sponsored Forums, etc. It is our hope that you will get support from the HMR content and from the content submitted by other users. Keep in mind that any content that you post will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary, and that you are granting to HMR an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, display disclose, distribute, publish, and make derivative works from such content for any purpose. User-submitted content will be subject to review. In some cases, HMR may make minor edits. HMR will remove any user-generated content that it feels is inappropriate or conflicts with the rights of those who own such material. In doing so, HMR will use its own judgment consistent with the spirit of the Sites. We know that the vast majority of users understand the importance of demonstrating respect for others as part of using the Sites. Although we review user-submitted content on a regular basis, in the end, it is largely up to you, our users, to decide what is appropriate.

Below are some common-sense "community etiquette" points and other advice for submissions:

• Respect the rights of others and their rights to privacy: If you identify third parties or minors (names, photos, videos or any other identifying information), check before making identifying references to them.
• Keep it clean and keep it calm: This is your community. Consider whether something you say may be hurtful or offensive to other people. We will remove any postings that include any vulgar, foul, or obscene language or imagery. Keep this in mind when posting content, photos, or videos.

• If you do not own the material you post as a comment or in a Forum (for example, if you did not write it yourself), you must have permission to post it. Never post anything you know may violate a law or the rights of others (e.g., privacy and copyright laws).
• Don't pretend to be some other real person. Present truthful information about your own life and experiences.
• The Sites are not intended for non-Community users (such as promotion of your business, charity, commercial URL, or the promotion, sale, or auction of any products or services).

Using the Website without an Account: When you navigate and access the Website without opening and Account, you can take advantage of certain specific interactive uses, such as "guest" purchases of HMR Products or "clinic inquiries" to help you find a local HMR Program.

• To fulfill your requests. We will use Personal Information you provide in order to fulfill the purposes for which you are providing the information, such as to fulfill any orders you request, to send you information you may request about our products and services, including in the form of newsletters, videos, emails, and other resources you have requested. 
• To send you confirmations, notifications, and administrative communications. We will use your Personal Information to help to manage and maintain your Account and the interactive uses you select, and to send you important information, such as order confirmations, updates on order status, changes to our terms, conditions, and policies and/or other administrative information, and to enable us to send certain notifications to your mobile device. If you use this Website and/or the HMR Mobile App to keep weight-loss and lifestyle records, we may follow your progress from time to time and send you motivational and similar emails in an effort to maximize the digital support you receive as part of the HMR Program experience, including emails to celebrate successes such as weight-loss milestones and custom content tailored to your needs and interests. If you are in the Phone Program and have an HMR Health Coach, she or he will also utilize the information that you provide in these records as part of the support they provide in and outside of Phone Program group classes.
• To improve our operations and services. We may use Personal Information you provide, as well as the non-personal information gathered passively to customize and personalize certain of HMR's online resources and communications for you. For example, HMR may use your Personal Information to remember your personal preferences and selections; confirm whether you have read or clicked on certain email communications we send to you; and to identify additional services and promotions for you. 
• To provide information about HMR Products and Services. We may add Personal Information we collect from you to one or more HMR email and other databases to contact you from time to time with information about HMR, the HMR Programs, HMR Products, and offer additional services and promotions that we believe you might find interesting. We will add you to such databases when you make purchases, create an account and/or opt-in to receive email communications. 
• For internal business purposes. We also may use Personal Information about you for our internal business purposes, such as to conduct data and Website usage analysis in order to enhance the design and functionality of the Website; to evaluate options for developing new products and improving our services; to conduct market research for improving and developing the HMR Programs and the content we use to promote and offer the HMR Programs; and to determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. These uses may also include data analysis, audits, developing new products, enhancing our website, improving our products and services, identifying Website and HMR Mobile App usage trends, and determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. 
• Compliance Auditing. HMR may also use Personal Information to audit its online resources for authorized access and security.
• Reports to Your Local Program or Sponsor if you are "Associated" with the Program or Sponsor. Your local HMR Program or other independently owned and operated HMR Program with which you have a relationship ("Your HMR Program") may provide you with a URL to register your "association" with Your HMR Program on this Website, either through a Client Association Form ("CAF") or directly by bringing you to this Website (Digital Pathway) as part of participating in a Remote Program or otherwise setting up an account on the Website. In some cases these URLs may be provided as part of entering an HMR-sponsored sweepstakes and in other cases Your HMR Program may register your "association" on your behalf pursuant to a consent form or email through which you authorize them to do this. Some "sponsoring" employers and health care providers may also use the sponsor code you are given to use when registering for a Remote Program as a means by which to "associate" you with them in connection with your use of this Website. Additionally, if you elect to receive information directly from Your HMR Program when you come to this Website on your own or through a link provided by Your HMR Program, you will also be "associated" with Your HMR Program. HMR may also "associate" you with Your HMR Program to the extent you indicate that you have participated in, or connected with, Your HMR Program in the past when communicating with HMR through other means such as entering an HMR-sponsored sweepstakes. When you become "associated" with Your HMR Program, HMR will identify you as such and will provide Your HMR Program with confirmation that you have become "associated" and will additionally provide compensation for any purchases of HMR Products that you may make on this Website or through third party channels acting as selling agents for HMR Products like an independent website and related information about your purchases, including amounts and type of product purchased and programs joined. "Association" will also allow HMR and Your HMR Program to provide more targeted and relevant emails and other Website features and communications to you that may enhance your experience with Your HMR Program, this Website, and your use of HMR Products.

Consistent with the terms of this Policy and other applicable privacy notices we have provided, in some cases HMR consolidates and analyzes Personal Information it collects through the Website with information collected through other channels, such as telephone calls, surveys, other websites, and other online resources and communications, in order to enhance the quality of services that we offer.

HMR may use and disclose aggregated information about users of the Website and/or HMR Mobile App, and may use and disclose de-identified information for any purpose. "De-identified information" is information that HMR reasonably believes does not contain any personally identifying information about you or any other person. If we combine information that is not personally identifiable information with information that is (such as combining your name with your geographical location), we will treat the combined information as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

WITH WHOM DOES HMR SHARE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR THE HMR MOBILE APP?

Personal Information

We may share the Personal Information we collect through the Website or the HMR Mobile App in the following circumstances:

• With third party vendors who provide services to assist our operations, such as to help process your orders for HMR Products and to deliver those HMR Products to you, to facilitate our communications with you, to respond to your inquiries and comments, and to maintain, improve and enhance the functionality of the Website and/or HMR Mobile App. In the case of a "guest" purchase of HMR Products, HMR will maintain credit card information only long enough to process your order and close out any order management. If you sign up for HMR's "auto delivery" service, your credit card information is processed and maintained by a third party service provider. Our third party vendors are contractually bound to keep your Personal Information confidential and to use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
• If you use an interactive feature on the Website without creating an Account, we may provide your Personal Information to third parties to fulfill the purpose for which you provided the information. For example, we will provide your contact information to a local HMR Program (Your HMR Program) if you elect to receive information from Your HMR Program when you come to this Website or through a link provided by Your HMR Program. Your HMR Program will then contact you with information about their program and services as they determine. If you submit your personal information in this way, we will also "associate" you with Your HMR Program and share information regarding your purchases of HMR Products with Your HMR Program as described above.
• If you register your "association" using a URL provided by Your HMR Program through a CAF or by connecting to the Digital Pathway, or, in some cases, through a sponsor code or authorization you provide to Your HMR Program giving them permission to register your "association" with them, all as described above, including through an entry in HMR-sponsored sweepstakes, we will share your name and product purchase information with Your HMR Program or sponsoring employer or health care provider and related information about any program option you may have selected. Also, if you indicate in other communications with HMR, such as part of entering an HMR-sponsored sweepstakes, that you have participated in, or connected with, a local program, we will "associate" you with that program (Your HMR Program). In all such cases, you will be identified as "associated" with the local program (Your HMR Program) that provided the URL or your sponsoring employer or health care provider bringing you to the Website, or the local program in which you indicated you had participated or with which you had connected.
• In some cases, your requesting information about a different local program or placing an order for HMR Products using the Digital Pathway may result in your becoming "associated" with a new local HMR program. If you have any questions about becoming "associated" or changing your "association" please contact us by phone at 1-800-418-1367 Monday - Friday, 9:00 am - 6:00 pm (Eastern).

• To comply with any court order, law or legal process, or to respond to any government or regulatory request.
• With your consent.

HMR will not share your Personal Information with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE HMR HEALTHY SOLUTIONS PROGRAM WITH PHONE COACHING ("PHONE PROGRAM') 


By enrolling in the Phone Program, you expressly agree to the use of your personal health and contact information as described herein. This use of information as described in this section about the Phone Program applies to both the weight-loss phase (Phase 1) and the maintenance phase (Phase 2) of the Phone Program.

Information Collected from Participants in the Phone Program

When you register to participate in the Phone Program, HMR will collect the following information: your name, date of birth, sex, initial weight, height, weight-loss goal, food order preference (lactose-free, vegetarian), credit card information, telephone number, email address, and mailing/billing address. As you participate in the Phone Program, you will provide additional data including weight change, use of meal replacement products, physical activity levels, intake of fruit and vegetables, and other adherence measures of the diet. 

As part of the Phone Program, you will participate in weekly group phone sessions with other participants. In the case of programs sponsored by employers, insurers or health care providers ("Sponsors") for their employee and patient populations, some of these other participants may be co-workers, people from your community, etc. (this could also happen randomly without involvement of a Sponsor). These phone classes involve verbal exchanges among the participants including information about each participant's experience in the Phone Program. Thus, as a participant, you will be expected to share some Personal Information with the other participants and also the health coach leading the group phone classes, as well as other health coaches who may advise on, participate in, evaluate, or otherwise contribute to the Phone Program.

As a participant in the Phone Program, you will be communicating with HMR staff via phone and email. Please use your best judgment in emailing Personal Information and note that phone communication is an alternative.

HOW DOES HMR USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION DURING YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PHONE PROGRAM?

HMR uses and discloses the Personal Information it obtains about you as a participant in the Phone Program as follows:

• To help you fulfill the goals of the Phone Program, including by informing you about HMR's products and services, as well as to obtain the agreed-upon payment from you for the purchase of HMR Products necessary for us to offer you the Phone Program and achieve the objectives described above. This may include contacting you by email, phone, fax, and/or text message using the contact information you provide to HMR as part of the enrollment process or subsequently. We may contact you periodically via email to follow up on your progress post participation in the Phone Program.
• To contact you regarding (i) your potential participation in Phase 2 of the Phone Program (the Maintenance Phase) or any other program option offered by HMR, and (ii) to follow up on your progress after you have completed your participation in the Phone Program.
• In health coaching activities, such as to train coaches or provide information to others to support your weight-loss program or to help others implement weight-management programs.
• To help HMR operate, maintain, and offer a high-quality, phone-based weight-management program and other HMR Programs, including sharing such information with third party vendors, staff of HMR Programs (including licensed programs), parties interested in becoming licensed to offer HMR Programs and acting as consultants. For example, in order to ensure the highest quality weight-management services, HMR staff members receive focused, ongoing training. This training occurs in a variety of ways. For example, training is sometimes done by recording participants' weekly classes and individual phone calls and playing recordings for the benefit of staff and their trainers - and this may include telephone calls or classes where some of your Personal Information is disclosed. These types of recordings may be an effective educational tool to help health care providers, staff, students, and other related parties practice or improve their skills and to develop and/or implement similar weight-management programs. Sometimes HMR staff, staff of HMR Programs (including licensed programs), parties interested in becoming HMR Programs, or third parties hired by HMR will monitor Phone Program classes as part of their training as health coaches or other weight-management specialists, or in the role of trainers themselves, or simply to determine if such party might wish to become or offer an HMR Program. Sometimes persons outside HMR doing research in the field of obesity treatment or third parties serving in a consulting capacity to HMR will be permitted to listen and learn more about how the Phone Program operates. Sometimes a participant's spouse, other family member, or close friend will also join the phone call to learn more about caring for that participant. Occasionally a person being considered as a new HMR employee may listen to the call to help us and this person better assess whether this person is a good fit at our Phone Program. It is also important to have a system that allows HMR's group of health coaches flexibility to substitute for each other from time to time and this requires allowing other health coaches access to your Phone Program records. All of these activities positively impact the quality of the Phone Program and help support overall operations of our weight-management program.

HMR may use and disclose De-identified Information that is collected or developed from your participation in the Phone Program for promotion of the Phone Program and related weight-loss program marketing efforts as well as educational and research efforts. HMR does not use Personal Information in marketing and promoting the Phone Program excepts as otherwise disclosed to you or with your express written consent.

De-identified Information may be shared with Sponsors who may be your employer, insurer, or healthcare provider (or affiliates of same) if you are participating in the Phone Program through a Sponsor arrangement (usually identified by a Code provided to you by the Sponsor and required for registration when you set up your Account or in some cases when you check out). Nonetheless, it is possible that your employer, insurer, or healthcare provider may become aware that you are participating in the Phone Program if they are acting as the Sponsor of the Phone Program in which you enroll.
