Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 31, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how UC4Life LLC (dba Institute for Functional Health) (collectively, “IFFH,” “we,” “us” or “our”) process personal information that we collect or otherwise generate through our digital or online properties or services that link to this Privacy Policy (including as applicable, our website, mobile applications, social media pages) as well as our marketing activities, live events and other activities described in this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Service”). 

IFFH may process personal information that identifies your past, present, or future health or mental health status, or that otherwise constitutes “consumer health data” or equivalent terms as defined by applicable US state laws (“Consumer Health Data”). To the extent such laws apply to your Consumer Health Data, please see our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy, which supplements this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that we receive from and process on behalf of our enterprise customers while providing IFFH services to them. For example, to the extent that we receive your personal information from your employer related to your eligibility for our Service, our use of that personal information may be governed by our agreements (including, as applicable, a business associate agreement) with the relevant enterprise customer. If you have questions regarding your personal information that we process on behalf of an enterprise customer, please direct your questions to the relevant enterprise customer.

NOTICE TO U.S. STATE RESIDENTS: Please see the U.S. State Privacy Rights Notice at Collection section of this Privacy Policy for additional information if you are a U.S. resident.

Guiding Privacy Principles

We built IFFH for families, ourselves and you. Your privacy is one of our top priorities. We empower you to take control of your health and that includes having control of certain aspects of your personal information. While IFFH may operate as a “business associate” as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) defines that term, HIPAA does not apply to all personal information that we process. Regardless, we leverage measures designed to protect and process your personal information in accordance with our guiding privacy principles below and as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy in full to understand our personal information practices.

  • Your identity is not for sale for money. In the ordinary course of our daily operations, we do not disclose your personal information to third parties in exchange for money. For more information on how we may disclose your personal information, please see How we share your personal information.
  • We limit the information we collect and retain. We collect personal information to provide you with our products and Services. We retain your personal information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including delivering requested products and Services, protecting the interests of our members, and for the period of time required by law.
  • We limit the manners in which we share your test results with third parties. In order to deliver our product and Services to you, it may be necessary for us to provide certain information to our lab and other provider partners. We limit how such recipients may use your personal information.

Automatic data collection. We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Service, our communications and other online services, such as:

  • Device data, such as your computer or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.

Cookies and similar technologies. Some of the automatic collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies:

  • Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
  • Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

Other sites and services

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, applications, products, services or other properties even if they may link to our Service or we may refer you to such third parties as part of our Service. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us.

Security

We employ technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

International data transfer

We are headquartered in the United States and may use service providers that operate in other countries. Your personal information may be transferred to the United States or other locations where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.

Retention

We generally retain personal information to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we may consider factors such as length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you; the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information; the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position, such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations; and applicable legal requirements. For example, we will retain your personal information for as long as you have an account with us or keep using our services, and the length of time thereafter during which we may have a legitimate need to reference your personal information to address issues that may arise..

When we no longer require the personal information we have collected about you, we may either delete it, anonymize it, de-identify it, or isolate it from further processing.

Children and Teens

Our services are not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age without written consent from a legal guardian. If you are a parent or guardian of a minor from whom you believe we have collected personal information in a manner prohibited by law, or if information was provided on your behalf when you were under 18, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the Service from a child without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information.
