Wellness.com

Wellness.com is a directory and information resource for health and wellness services, providing a platform for consumers to find and review healthcare providers. The company compiles and purchases public records to create listings for doctors and health practices, which include names and contact information. Its primary customers are consumers seeking health services and healthcare providers who can claim and enhance their profiles for marketing purposes. The platform also obtains personal information from third-party data aggregators and brokers to supplement its user profiles. The collection and exposure of personal and professional information on Wellness.com pose privacy risks to individuals and practitioners, as this data can be aggregated and shared with third parties for marketing and other purposes. This sharing of information could potentially be used to build detailed profiles about individuals' perceived health interests, leading to targeted advertising and other unsolicited contact. To protect yourself from data brokers and potential misuse of your information, it is important to be aware of what information is being collected about you, limit the personal data you share online, and consider opting out of such databases where possible.
