This provision establishes that AI systems process sensitive health information collected through the platform, and that third-party AI services may be used subject to vendor management requirements. The human oversight statement is operationally significant for telehealth platforms where automated recommendations could influence clinical pathways.
Interpretive note: The policy does not specify which AI systems or third-party providers are used, making it difficult to assess the operational scope of this disclosure without additional information.
The updated policy establishes that Ro has enabled contractual settings with certain advertising partners that restrict those partners' use of data to service provision only, meaning those partners may not use the information for their own advertising or profiling purposes. The policy also expands the list of states where Ro does not sell sensitive personal information for tailored advertising, adding New Jersey, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Iowa, and Delaware. For residents of the newly added states and others covered by partner settings, default restrictions on data use may apply even without an explicit opt-out. You can manage advertising preferences through the policy's stated opt-out mechanisms, including the 'Your Privacy Choices' page and Global Privacy Control signals.
