We do not sell or rent Personal Data to marketers or unaffiliated third parties.
Outfox Health is a platform available at outfoxhealth.com (the "Site") and as mobile applications on the Google Play and Apple stores (the "Apps").

By accessing or using the Services, you accept and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, which are hereby incorporated by reference. For questions, contact us at info@outfoxhealth.com or use the contact information at the end of this page.
1. Data We Collect
Outfox Health collects personal data such as demographics, interests, preferences, insurance policy details, and health-related information (e.g., lab tests, prescriptions) to provide a tailored healthcare guidance experience. This data helps with price comparison, insurance integration, and personalized suggestions.
