Privacy Policy
How Wellday collects, uses, shares, and protects your information — including the health information you trust us with.
The short version
We take your privacy seriously, especially because we're handling some of the most personal information you have — your health.
Here's what you should know:
- What we collect: Information you give us (name, email, address, payment details), information you share about your migraine experience (the intake questionnaire and ongoing communications), and information collected automatically when you use our website or app.
- How we use it: To connect you with licensed clinicians, build your Wellday Care Plan, coordinate your medications, support your insurance navigation, and improve our services.
- Who we share it with: Wellday Medical Affiliates, pharmacies, payment processors, and service providers who help us deliver care to you. We don't sell your information. We don't share your health information with advertisers.
- Your rights: You can access your information, correct it, ask us to delete it, and opt out of certain uses.
- How long we keep it: As long as you're a Wellday patient, plus a retention period required by medical record laws.
This summary doesn’t replace the full Privacy Policy below. If anything seems to conflict, the full policy controls.

Who we are and what this Privacy Policy covers
Wellday Health LLC ("Wellday," "we," "us," or "our") is a Missouri limited liability company. We operate the Wellday platform, which connects patients with licensed clinicians for migraine and neurological health care.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information about you when you use our website at wellday.com, our mobile applications, and our services (collectively, the "Services").
Wellday's legal status under HIPAA. Wellday operates as a technology platform. The medical care provided to you comes from licensed clinicians and clinical entities that contract with Wellday to provide medical care on the Wellday platform (collectively, "Wellday Medical Affiliates"). Wellday is not itself a HIPAA covered entity. Wellday Medical Affiliates are HIPAA covered entities, and your health information is protected under HIPAA when it is handled by them. Wellday operates as a Business Associate of Wellday Medical Affiliates under HIPAA-required Business Associate Agreements when we handle health information on their behalf.
If you are a California, Washington, Nevada, Connecticut, or other state resident with additional privacy rights under state law, see Section IX.
II
Information we collect
Personal information you provide directly: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, date of birth, gender, emergency contact, and payment information. (Payment card numbers are processed by our payment vendors and are not stored on Wellday systems.)
Health information you provide: Information you share through the Wellday intake questionnaire and through ongoing communication with your clinical care team — your migraine frequency, severity, triggers, medical history, current and past medications, allergies, contraindications, and treatment responses. This information constitutes Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA when handled by Wellday Medical Affiliates.
Information collected automatically: Device information, IP address, approximate location, usage information, and information from cookies and similar technologies (see Section VII).
Information from third parties: We may receive information from your clinical care team, pharmacies, your insurer (in connection with prior authorization or claims), identity verification services, analytics providers, and advertising platforms about how you arrived at our website.
III
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Provide and operate the Services, including connecting you with licensed clinicians and coordinating your care
- Process payments and manage your subscription
- Coordinate with pharmacies, insurers, and Wellday Medical Affiliates to fulfill prescriptions, file prior authorizations, and arrange savings cards
- Communicate with you about your account, your care, and your billing
- Send you marketing emails (you can opt out anytime; transactional emails about your account and care continue)
- Improve our Services through analysis of how patients use our platform
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats
- Comply with legal obligations
- Defend our legal rights when necessary
We do not use your health information to target advertising. Advertising platforms may use general information (like the fact that you visited our website) to show you ads, but we never share your specific health information — what condition you have, what medications you take, what your clinician told you — with advertising companies.
V
How we protect your information
While Wellday is not a HIPAA covered entity, we implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information at industry-standard levels, including:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest
- Access controls limiting who can view your information
- Audit logs of access to sensitive information
- Regular security assessments
- Employee training on privacy and security
- Business Associate Agreements with Wellday Medical Affiliates and other vendors who handle PHI
Despite these measures, no system is perfectly secure. If we ever experience a security incident that affects your information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
VI
How long we keep your information
We retain your information for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by law:
- Medical records held by Wellday Medical Affiliates — retained for the period required by state medical record laws, typically 7–10 years for adult records
- Account information — retained while your account is active and up to 7 years after closure
- Payment information — retained per payment processing and tax law requirements
- Marketing information — if you opt out, retained only to ensure we don't email you again
After applicable retention periods, we either delete your information or de-identify it.
VIII
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of your information. For health information held by Wellday Medical Affiliates, requests are processed through their medical records process; we'll route requests to the right place.
- Correct — request that we correct inaccurate information.
- Delete — request deletion of your information, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Restrict — request limits on how we use or share information.
- Portability — request a copy in portable format.
- Object — object to certain uses, including marketing.
- Withdraw consent — at any time where we rely on consent.
- Complain — to us, or to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights at hhs.gov/hipaa/filing-a-complaint.
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@welldayhealth.com. We respond within 30 days, or longer where the law allows.
