Except as described in this Privacy Policy, Hearing Tracker only collects your personally identifiable information (“PII”) through this Website when you choose to provide such information, such as when you create an account by signing up, or when you fill in the details of your personal profile.

When submitting your PII in conjunction with a provider-initiated hearing aid review, it may be possible for Hearing Tracker users and/or your hearing provider to connect elements of your PII to the de-identified information submitted by your provider (such as the model of hearing aids you wear, your audiogram results, etc). Hearing Tracker will promptly remove any PII upon request. Hearing Tracker may use your PII to:
- Address your requests for information, products or services;
