If destroying their account is not possible, then they may request for their account to be destroyed by making a request to privacy@thelookoutway.com.

If the person is an end user of Lookout Care Suite, as in, they have been invited or added to Lookout via a service provider, then they should contact the service provider directly and/or cite the Privacy Policy of the service provider.

For all other subjects, such as Lookout Care Suite prospects, please send an email to privacy@thelookoutway.com to make a request to access, correct, or destroy personal information stored and processed by us.
