Privacy Policy
Your recovery is personal, and so is the information you may choose to share with us. This page explains what we collect, why, and the controls you keep.
Introduction
Welcome to Way to Go.
Way to Go is a recovery companion designed to help people track and understand their recovery journey across post-surgery healing, mental and emotional recovery, physical conditioning, learning recovery, burnout, and long-term rebuilding.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your information when you use our website, app, dashboard, emails, notifications, forms, and related services.
Way to Go is built with care. Your recovery is personal, and so is the information you may choose to share with us.

If you experience worsening pain, fever, signs of infection, chest pain, breathing difficulty, sudden severe swelling, new numbness, confusion, thoughts of self-harm, or anything your clinician warned you about, seek professional help immediately.
