Information We Collect

You may interact with us in a variety of ways online without registering for an Amino User Account or Amino HSA, such as when you browse our website, comment on our blog, apply for a job, request customer support, seek a demonstration of our products, or otherwise communicate with us. When you use our website or mobile applications for these purposes, we may collect data from you that generally falls into one of two categories:

Information you provide directly to us.

such as your name, mailing address, email address, gender, and other information you may voluntarily provide.
Communications. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you. For example, when you contact us for support or to request a demonstration, we will receive your name, email address, phone number, the company you are affiliated with, the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide. If you subscribe to our newsletter, then we will collect certain information from you, such as your email address. When we send you emails, we may track whether you open them to learn how to deliver a better customer experience and improve our Services.

If you decide that you wish to apply for a job with us, you may submit your contact information and your resume online. We will collect the information you choose to provide on your resume, such as your education and employment experience. You may also apply through LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Greenhouse, Indeed, or other similar services. If you do so, we will collect the information you make available to us via those services.

Information we collect about your website activity. When you access or use any of our Services, we automatically collect information about you, including:

Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies. We and third party partners collect information using cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies.

Information We Collect from Other Sources: We may also obtain information from sources other than those described above and combine that with information we collect through our Services. For example, we may collect information about you from your employer, payroll company or health plan in order to create your Amino User Account or Amino HSA. When we collect your information from your employer, payroll company or health plan, we will only use your information for your user or HSA account as described in the applicable Amino HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices or The Bancorp Bank Privacy Notice.

For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.

Single Sign-On for Amino User Accounts

If your Amino User Account was established by your employer or your health plan, they may have requested that we set up a communication channel whereby you can log into Amino’s portal (known as single sign on) or access your Account information through their site without entering your user name and password again. Your employer or health plan also may have contracted with another vendor that provides additional services, such as personal health care costs management, that allows you to log into our portal or access your Account through that vendor’s website, also without entering your Amino username and password. When you use those websites to sign into our portal or access your Account, your use of the Services may be subject to the policies of such websites, and it is possible that such websites may be able to access your account.
