Sure. I'll try to group my answers by theme since some of the answers to your questions overlap.
First, the data is never anonymized and sold (if that's what you mean by "business development").
We follow HIPAA, since we do realize you're trusting us with a lot of data on your health. The data is necessary to provide good medical care--i.e., it's actually quite relevant to your heart health whether you have signs of sleep apnea or anxiety!
"Affiliated covered entity" refers to the medical groups that provide medical care. Legally, these have to be a separate corporate entity (a "medical professional corporation") from the standard Delaware C-Corp. All telemedicine companies that operate in the US have to have this structure, and it's why you see two distinct company names (525 Medical Group and Empirical Health).
Data deletion requires account deletion -- this is a fair point.
The data collection not breaking down each data type -- fair point. We can expand the details within this policy a bit.
