Only family members and carers invited to link accounts with the user (by creating an account using their email address) can contact them.
Your privacy is important to us. We provide a Product Privacy Policy that explains our information practices and the choices you can make concerning the use and disclosure of your personal information. That Privacy Policy forms a part of this Agreement.

You have the opportunity to easily opt out of receiving such notifications at any time by adjusting the permissions in your device Settings. Additionally, if you have logged into the app using an email address, you further agree to receiving marketing emails from us from time to time regarding your use of the App. We will only send such emails to people who have the App installed. You can easily opt out of such email communication by changing your privacy settings in the App.
