Privacy Policy
Last updated May 21, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how TeamLife Health Group ("TeamLife Health Group," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use the TLC CareNow client portal at app.tlccarenow.com (the "Service"). The Service is provided to clients of participating senior living and care communities. By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
1. Who we are
TeamLife Health Group operates TLC CareNow on behalf of participating communities to help coordinate care visits, payments, and related client services.
Your participating community may also collect and use information about you under its own policies and notices. This Privacy Policy covers the Service operated by us; it does not replace community-specific notices you may receive separately.
2. Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly, information generated when you use the Service, and limited technical information from your device.
Account and profile: name, phone number, email address, community and suite or unit, date of birth, gender (if provided), login credentials (stored in protected form), and profile completion status.
Care and intake information: emergency contacts, allergies, medications, medical conditions or care notes you choose to provide, care preferences, special instructions, preferred language, veteran status (if provided), and related scheduling details.
Booking and payment: services requested, visit dates and times, cart and order history, payment method tokens (processed by our payment partner—we do not store full card numbers on our servers), billing and transaction records, and receipts.
Communications: messages you send through or in connection with the Service, support requests, and SMS or email content needed for login codes, confirmations, and service notices.
Technical data: device type, browser, IP address, session identifiers, timestamps, logs, and security-related events used to operate and protect the Service.
3. How we use information
We use information to:
• Create and manage your account and authenticate you (including phone or email one-time codes).
• Schedule, coordinate, and deliver care services with your community and care team.
• Process payments, refunds, and billing.
• Communicate with you about bookings, account activity, and Service updates.
• Maintain care plans, preferences, and safety-related instructions you provide.
• Improve, secure, and troubleshoot the Service; detect fraud and abuse.
• Comply with law, regulation, and contractual obligations, including healthcare, safety, and financial requirements.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We do not use your information for third-party behavioral advertising through the Service.
4. How we share information
We share information only as needed to operate the Service and as described below:
• Participating community staff and authorized care professionals who need information to schedule and provide your services.
• Service providers that help us run the Service (hosting, authentication, payment processing, messaging, and support tools), under contracts that require confidentiality and appropriate security.
• Payment processors (such as Stripe) to charge your payment methods—you interact with their terms when you add or use a card.
• Other parties when required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• Successors in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to continued protection consistent with this Policy.
We may share de-identified or aggregated information that cannot reasonably identify you.
5. Health-related information
Some information you provide (for example, date of birth, allergies, medications, conditions, and care notes) may be protected health information under U.S. HIPAA and similar laws when we or your community act as covered entities or business associates.
We store sensitive health-related fields in secured application databases with access controls, not in casual profile metadata. Access is limited to authorized roles who need it for care coordination, billing, or administration.
If your community provides a separate Notice of Privacy Practices for healthcare, that notice may also apply to how the community uses your health information. This Policy describes our practices for the Service.
6. Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information, including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest for stored data where supported, role-based access controls, authentication requirements, and monitoring for suspicious activity.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please use a strong device passcode, keep login codes private, and sign out on shared devices.
If we become aware of a breach that affects your information, we will notify you and regulators as required by applicable law.
7. Retention
We retain information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal, tax, and healthcare record-keeping obligations.
When you request account deletion, we will delete or de-identify personal information where we are not required to retain it. Some information may remain in backups for a limited period or in records we must keep by law.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
To exercise rights: contact your participating community care team, contact us through support channels provided by your community, or use Request Account Deletion in your profile when you are signed in.
We will verify your identity before responding. We may decline requests where an exception applies (for example, legal retention requirements).
9. California privacy rights
If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), including the right to know categories of information collected, request deletion or correction, and not be discriminated against for exercising rights.
We do not sell personal information as defined by California law. To submit a California request, use the contact methods in Section 14.
10. Cookies and similar technologies
The Service uses cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, protect against fraud, and understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through browser settings; disabling some cookies may limit functionality.
We do not use the Service to track you across unrelated third-party websites for advertising.
11. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us so we can delete it.
Accounts for residents may be created or managed by family members or authorized representatives with legal authority.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised Policy with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or by email where appropriate. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Policy.
13. Contact
Privacy questions or requests: contact your participating community care team or TeamLife Health Group support through the channels provided by your community.
