By signing this Authorization below, I authorize the following:

I authorize Newtopia, Inc., its workforce, subsidiaries, subcontractors, agents, and affiliated entities (collectively, “Newtopia”) to use and disclose my information as described, and for the purposes set forth, in the Newtopia Privacy Policy at https://newtopia.com/b2c/privacy-policy/

I authorize Newtopia to share the information described below with my employer, my employer’s vendors, and my health plan (collectively, the “Recipients”) for the Recipients to administer, evaluate, and pay for the Newtopia services, programs and offerings including but not limited to personalized lifestyle plans (collectively, the “Newtopia Program”) and provide me with incentive or rewards programs, where offered, in connection with my participation in the Newtopia Program.  Specifically, the information to be shared with the Recipients includes:

  • My name and demographic information, including my ID number, date of birth, and contact information.
  • Information regarding my participation in the Newtopia Program, including but not limited to the number of times that I:
    • Log information or activities, on the online portal, activity tracking device, or the web app;
    • Participate in coaching or CCM sessions (including any electronic coaching or CCM communication);
    • Complete a “Newtopia Challenge”; and
    • Track weight manually or via a tracking device such as a Bluetooth scale.

I authorize information I submit through the Newtopia Program Sites, including but limited to, forums, chat rooms, bulletin boards, profile pages, blogs, and games to be disclosed as described in the Newtopia Program Privacy Policy, including to other support group members.

I understand that:

This Authorization will expire as of the date on which I am no longer participating in the Newtopia Program, or no longer covered under my employer’s health benefit plan.

I can revoke this Authorization at any time by writing to Newtopia at privacy@newtopia.com, so that future sharing or use is not permitted. I understand that my revocation will not be effective for information already used and disclosed in reliance on my authorization.

I understand that once my information has been disclosed, federal privacy laws may no longer apply or protect the information from further disclosure.

I understand that my treatment, payment for treatment, health insurance enrollment or eligibility for benefits will not be affected if I refuse to sign this Authorization, but that I may not be able to participate in the Newtopia Program or receive my employer’s rewards or incentives if I do not sign.

I may obtain a copy of this Authorization to keep for my records.
