Connected Apps & Wearable Health Data Addendum
Version 1.0.0 — Effective June 28, 2026 — WINGUARDIAN.NET LLC d/b/a HWS.Center
This Addendum is part of our Privacy Policy and explains how we handle health and fitness data you choose to sync from wearables and connected apps. In short: syncing is optional and opt-in, we treat this data as sensitive, we use it only for the purpose you enable, and we never sell or share it.
1. What This Covers
WINGUARDIAN.NET LLC, doing business as HWS.Center (“HWS.Center,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), offers an optional feature that lets you connect a wearable device or health/fitness app (for example, step, activity, sleep, or heart-rate data) to your HWS.Center account. This Addendum supplements, and is incorporated into, our Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict regarding connected health data, this Addendum controls.
2. Health Data Is Sensitive Personal Information
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), information concerning your health is sensitive personal information. We treat the health and fitness data you sync — and any inferences we might draw from it — as sensitive personal information and handle it with the heightened care that designation requires.
3. Opt-In Consent
We collect connected health data only with your opt-in consent. Nothing is synced unless you choose to connect an app or device and affirmatively authorize the connection. Syncing is never required to shop with us, create an account, or use the rest of the site, and you can decline without losing access to our products or services.
4. Purpose Limitation
We use connected health data only for the specific purpose you enable — to power the personalized wellness feature you turned on (for example, tailoring general wellness content or product suggestions to you within your account). We do not use it for any incompatible secondary purpose. Specifically, we do not:
- use it for targeted advertising or to build advertising profiles;
- use it to make decisions about insurance, credit, or employment;
- use it beyond what is reasonably necessary for the feature you enabled.
5. We Do Not Sell or Share Your Health Data
No Sale. No Sharing. No Cross-Context Advertising.
We do not sell your connected health data, and we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not trade it for money or other value.
We disclose connected health data only to service providers who help us operate the feature under contracts that restrict them to our instructions, or where you direct us to, or where the law requires it. These service providers may not use your health data for their own purposes.
6. Your Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
California residents have the right to limit our use and disclosure of sensitive personal information to what is necessary to provide the service. Because we already restrict connected health data to the feature you enabled and do not use it for advertising or incompatible purposes, we honor this limit by default. You can also exercise this right, and your other privacy rights, through our CCPA / Do Not Sell or Share notice.
7. Disconnecting & Revoking Consent
You are in control of the connection at all times. You may:
- disconnect a wearable or app from your HWS.Center account settings at any time;
- revoke our access through the connected app or device’s own permission settings; and
- request deletion of the connected health data we hold.
When you disconnect, we stop receiving new data from that source. Revoking consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing done before you revoked it.
8. Retention & Deletion
We keep connected health data only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the feature you enabled, and no longer than disclosed at the time of collection unless a longer period is required by law. When you disconnect a source or ask us to delete your connected health data, we delete or de-identify it within a reasonable time, except for limited information we are legally required or permitted to retain (such as records needed to comply with the law), and we will direct our service providers to do the same.
9. Third-Party Apps & Devices
The wearable devices and apps you connect are operated by third parties under their own terms and privacy policies. Their collection and use of your data on their platforms is governed by their policies, not this Addendum. We are responsible only for the data we receive from them after you connect, and we encourage you to review the privacy practices of any device or app before connecting it.
10. Not Medical Records; No Medical Advice
HWS.Center is a wellness retailer, not a healthcare provider, and connected health data is not used to provide medical care or treatment. Any feature powered by this data is for general wellness and educational purposes only and is not a diagnosis or medical advice. See our Health Disclaimer.
11. Updates to This Addendum
We may update this Addendum to reflect changes in law or our features. The version number and effective date at the top of this page reflect the most recent revision. We will obtain fresh consent where a change materially expands how we use your connected health data.
