Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 16, 2024

We are Lyra Health, Inc., a company focused on helping people feel emotionally healthy at work and at home. As an employer-sponsored benefit that connects employees and their dependents with effective and convenient care for their mental and emotional well-being, we combine technology, research-backed therapeutic methods, and top support providers such as coaches and therapists (“Providers”) to offer personalized care. Within this policy, we will refer to the employers and other entities who sponsor employee and member access to our services as “Lyra Benefit Sponsor”.

1. SCOPE

General Scope. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Lyra uses, and discloses personal information collected via our website at lyrahealth.com, any affiliated “micro-sites” set up for our customers (e.g., www.benefit sponsor.lyrahealth.com), our Provider Portal (provider.lyrahealth.com), our mobile applications, sessions with Lyra Providers, our events, and any other online or offline offering of ours that posts this Policy (collectively, the “Services”). If you do not agree with our privacy practices, please do not provide us with personal information, use our Services, or access our website.

Definition of “Lyra” within the United States. In the United States, we work closely with a number of affiliates to deliver and facilitate coaching and clinical services, including Lyra Behavioral Health, Inc., Lyra Health 2, Lyra Health Holdings, LLC, Lyra Clinical Associates P.C., a California professional corporation, Lyra Clinical of MA, P.C., and Lyra Clinical of New Jersey, P.C. This Policy covers the activities of all of these entities (collectively, “Lyra”) for services delivered in the United States.

Outside of the United States. Outside of the United States, Lyra only provides coaching and technology services. In this context, therefore, “Lyra” means Lyra Health, Inc. only.

Note the remainder of this Privacy Policy applies to all jurisdictions.

Additional Policies from Providers. Some Providers may have additional Privacy Policies or Informed Consent documents that describe their data practices; see those documents for more information on how your Provider may use your personal information during care.

Additional Requirements from Benefit Sponsors. As part of setting up Lyra services at their organization, some Lyra Benefit Sponsors may require or choose to add additional or different limitations or restrictions on data practices related to their Lyra offerings (i.e., Lyra Benefit Sponsors may add additional privacy restrictions or limitations above and beyond what is described in this Policy). Any such additional restrictions or limitations on data practices that have been agreed to between Lyra and Lyra Benefit Sponsors will be reflected in written agreements between them, and such terms will control.

For example, Lyra may collect demographic information, such as your name and telephone number, from a friend, colleague or relative who refers you to Lyra for Services. If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK) or Switzerland, please see our Supplemental EEA Privacy Notice at Section 14 for additional information regarding consent requirements.

We may combine the information that we collect with data obtained from third parties or through our products and Services. Additionally, you may also be able to access your Lyra account by signing on through various third-party services, such as Google. Signing on through such third-party services is voluntary. If you choose to sign on through a third-party service, Lyra may collect certain information from your account including your public profile, user name, email address, birthday, stated location, city, contact lists, and other interactions on that platform (such as interests and likes).

We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on the Services.
Pixel Tags/Web Beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in the Services that collects information about engagement on the Services. The use of a pixel tag allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular webpage or clicked on a particular advertisement. We may also include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.

Our uses of these Technologies fall into the following general categories:

Operationally Necessary. This includes Technologies that allow you access to the Services, applications, and tools that are required to identify irregular website behavior, prevent fraudulent activity, and improve security or that allow you to make use of our functionality.
Performance-Related. We may use Technologies to assess the performance of the Services, including as part of our analytics practices to help us understand how individuals use the Services (see Analytics below).

Your interactions with these platforms are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the widget.

4. DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We only disclose your information to third parties as described below.

Your Providers. If you seek care, treatment or other services from a Provider available through the Services, your Provider will have access to the personal information that you have provided through your completed intake form and initial assessment in order to provide you with their services. If you switch Providers, we may disclose your personal information to your new Provider to facilitate a consistent care experience.

Your Lyra Benefit Sponsor. To the extent permitted under applicable laws, we may provide necessary data to your Lyra Benefit Sponsor to enable them to manage, administer and evaluate its health and wellness programs. Unless permitted under applicable laws or authorized by you, we will not disclose any of the information you provide in intake forms, assessments or sessions with Providers to your Lyra Benefit Sponsor.

Affiliates. Note that sometimes we receive information from and share information among the Lyra entities.

Other Lyra Users. Some of Lyra’s Services, such as Lyra Gather, may allow you to communicate with other Lyra Users, in which case our Services facilitate the direct disclosure of personal information from you to such other Lyra users at your direction.

Service Providers. We disclose your personal information to our third-party service providers, such as IT and related services, payment processors, customer service providers, and other vendors that support our provision of the Services. These service providers will be subject to contractual obligations to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to safeguard the personal data, and to process the personal data only as instructed.

De-identified and Aggregated Information. We may share de-identified and aggregated information (such as de-identified usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with third parties who help us understand the usage patterns for certain Services and those of our partners. Lyra may also share with your Lyra Benefit Sponsor the outcomes and impact of the Services, which would consist solely of de-identified and aggregated data or analytics. We will use de-identified information as part of our machine learning and artificial intelligence initiatives to improve our services. Non-personally identifiable information may be stored indefinitely.

Advertising Partners. With your consent, we may disclose your personal information to third-party advertising partners. These third-party advertising partners may include Technologies and other tracking tools on our corporate website (lyrahealth.com) to collect information regarding your activities and your device (e.g., your IP address, cookie identifiers, page(s) visited, location, time of day). These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other services) for purposes of delivering personalized advertisements to you when you visit digital properties within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “personalized advertising.” Note that advertising technologies are not used on sites where clients login to access our services and/or search for care (e.g., benefitsponsor.lyrahealth.com), they are only used on Lyra’s corporate website (lyrahealth.com).

Disclosures to Protect Us and Others: We may access, preserve, and disclose any information we store associated with you to external parties if we, in good faith, believe doing so is required or appropriate: to comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; when required by health oversight agencies for legally authorized health oversight activities; to protect your, our or others’ rights, property, or safety, including to protect the security or integrity of the Services and any facilities or equipment used to make the Services available; to enforce our policies or contracts; to collect amounts owed to us or any Lyra Provider; or to assist with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity or in an emergency.

What Happens in the Event of a Change of Control: We may buy or sell/divest/transfer our company (including any shares in the company), or any combination of its products, services, assets and/or businesses. We may also sell, assign, or otherwise transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, dissolutions, reorganizations, liquidations, similar transactions or proceedings involving all or a portion of Lyra. Your information such as names and email addresses, and other information related to the Services may be among the items transferred in these types of transactions.

5. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We are committed to protecting your privacy and data. We have taken steps to implement safeguards and security measures to help prevent your personal information from being lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its security. If you have any questions about the security of the Services, you can contact us as described below.

Any text, email or other transmission you send unencrypted through the Internet cannot be completely protected against unauthorized interception. In particular, we want to make you aware that personal email may be unsecure. You are not required to authorize the use of your personal email for purposes of communicating with Lyra; a decision not to consent or to opt out of receiving these emails will not restrict your ability to access care from your Provider. You can choose to receive email from Lyra using our secure electronic communication system instead of your personal email. Our secure electronic communication system will require you to log into a separate portal to access the email that is being sent.

6. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information pursuant to statutory requirements, for as long as needed to provide the Services or fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, and to comply with our legal and compliance obligations (including auditing), resolve potential or actual disputes, conduct research and development for the Services (provided the agreement we have with your employer permits use of personal information for this purpose), or enforce our agreements.

7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

By using the Services, your personal information will be stored within the United States, where privacy rules differ and may be less stringent than those of the country in which you reside.

8. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES/APPLICATIONS
