Teladoc Health runs a healthcare-specific analytics tool called Freshpaint on every page of its website, which tracks user behavior and page visits — including pages that indicate specific health conditions like diabetes, mental health, or weight management.
Your browsing behavior on Teladoc's website — including which condition-specific pages you visit (e.g., '/mental-health', '/glp-1', '/diabetes') — is captured by Freshpaint, which may or may not successfully prevent that health-indicative data from reaching advertising platforms depending on its configuration.

Compare across platforms →Freshpaint is marketed as a HIPAA-compliant data pipeline designed to intercept PHI before it reaches non-covered third parties, but its presence on a healthcare site indicates that Teladoc is actively managing the risk of health data leakage to ad platforms — a risk that exists precisely because of the other tracking scripts also present on the site.
1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Deployment of Freshpaint on a HIPAA-covered entity's website implicates HIPAA 45 CFR §164.514(b) (de-identification), HHS OCR December 2022 bulletin on tracking technologies and PHI, FTC Act Section 5, and CCPA/CPRA §1798.100. HHS OCR and FTC are primary enforcement authorities. 2.
