We also use different types of first- and third-party cookies on the Platform. For example, we use cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas of the Platform that our users find valuable. We use cookies to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features, and to analyze our traffic. We also share information about your browser’s use of our Platform with our social media, advertising, and analytics partners.

These interest-based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing our Platform or third-party sites not owned by YupMD. Currently, we do not recognize if your browser sends a “do not track” signal or similar mechanism to indicate you do not wish to be tracked or receive interest-based ads.

YupMD does not control the use of third-party technology or the resulting information and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
Where permitted by applicable law, we may also receive Personal Information about you from third-party sources (e.g., lead generators) to determine whether a YupMD product or service is right for you and to send promotional emails to customers and prospective customers.

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides you with additional rights regarding your Personal Information. This section describes the Personal Information we collect about you, how we use and disclose it, and how you can exercise your privacy rights under the CCPA.

When we collect, use, or disclose information not covered by the CCPA, we do so as described in this Privacy Policy (excluding this Section IX) and our Notice of Privacy Practices.
