These Terms of Service ("Terms") explain what you can expect from us and what we expect from you when you use our website, web or mobile application, health intelligence services, and any optional features or integrations you activate (collectively, the "Service").
When you use Cato Health, you are entering into a legal agreement with Cato Longevity Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16812178, with its registered office at 11A Fulham Park Road, London SW6 4LH, trading under the brand name Cato Health ("Cato Health," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or otherwise using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Service.
Our Commitments to You
- We will always be transparent about how our Service works.
- We will protect your rights and privacy in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.
- We will communicate any changes to these Terms clearly and with reasonable notice.

1. Our Service
1.1 Cato Health Service and Plans
The Cato Health Plan that you select will include some combination of features from our Service. These features include:
Cato Health Digital Platform
- Platform Access: Ongoing access to our digital platform (available via mobile application or web browser, depending on your Plan). This provides health metrics, data visualisations, and lifestyle recommendations based on your active data inputs.
Blood Biomarker Tests
- In order to provide you with your blood biomarker test results, you will need to supply the necessary blood samples to our accredited third-party laboratory partner.
- This can be done via an at-home nurse visit or by booking an appointment at one of our testing sites.
- The laboratory runs the tests and generates the results, which are then presented in the Cato Health platform when complete.
- When your Plan ends, you will no longer have access to your results through the platform. We recommend that you download or export any results you wish to retain before your Plan expires.
Connected Devices and Integrations (e.g., Wearables — Where Applicable)
- Optional Integration: Your Plan may support the integration of third-party devices or data sources (such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, or other health apps) to enhance your health insights.
- Onboarding: In order to access data from these sources, you must successfully complete the relevant onboarding process and grant Cato Health the necessary permissions to access this data.
- When your Plan ends, Cato Health will no longer fetch new data from that source and you will not be able to access the data through our platform. We recommend that you download or export any data you wish to retain before your Plan expires.
Data Upload (Where Applicable)
- Health & Lifestyle Questionnaire: You will be required to complete a Health & Lifestyle Questionnaire to help personalise advice generated by the app and signed off by a clinician.
- Data Accuracy and Verification: You are solely responsible for the accuracy, authenticity, completeness, and legality of any data, documents, or records you upload to the Cato Health platform ("Uploaded Data"). You acknowledge that Cato Health does not verify, and is not responsible for, the quality or correctness of any Uploaded Data, and any insights or recommendations generated by the Service based on such data are contingent upon its accuracy.
- Use of Uploaded Data: By uploading data, you grant Cato Health the necessary permissions to access, process, store, and utilise the Uploaded Data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
- When your Plan ends, you will not be able to access the Uploaded Data through the platform. We recommend that you download or export any data you wish to retain before your Plan expires.
1.2 Important Health Disclaimer: Not Medical Advice
Cato Health is a preventative health and lifestyle intelligence service designed to provide information and insights about your health and wellbeing. It is not a medical device and is not regulated as such.
You explicitly acknowledge and agree that:
- No Medical Care: We do not provide medical services, clinical diagnostics, or healthcare. Our Service is informational only and is NOT a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
- No Doctor–Patient Relationship: Use of our Service does not create a doctor–patient relationship between you and Cato Health or any of its staff, contractors, or partners.
- Not a Medical Device: Our Service is not a medical device under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (as amended). It is intended for general wellness and lifestyle tracking only, not for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of any disease.
- AI Limitations: Our platform uses generative artificial intelligence. While we design our systems to reduce the likelihood of errors, AI technology can still occasionally generate incorrect, misleading, or incomplete information. You should never rely solely on AI output for health-related decisions without verifying it with a qualified healthcare professional.
- Non-Medical Nature: Our fees are specifically for non-medical information services. Our Service does not constitute a medical expense and does not make use of any publicly funded or publicly insured healthcare services.
Always consult qualified healthcare providers for:
- Medical questions or concerns
- Detailed interpretation of test results
- Diagnosis or treatment of health conditions
- Changes to medications or treatment plans
- Emergency medical situations
In case of a medical emergency, call 999 (or your local emergency number) immediately.
By using Cato Health, you acknowledge and agree that you understand these limitations and will seek appropriate medical care when needed.
1.3 Service Limitations
You acknowledge and agree that:
- Evolving Features: Our Service may evolve over time. We reserve the right to add, modify, or remove features (including specific data integrations or AI capabilities) at our reasonable discretion, subject to Section 9.2.
- Third-Party Data: We rely on data from third-party sources (e.g., laboratories, wearable manufacturers). We cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of this external data. If your wearable device records incorrect data, our insights based on that data may also be incorrect.
- Service Availability: We aim to provide reliable access to the Service but cannot guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, timely, or error-free. We reserve the right to suspend the Service temporarily for maintenance, updates, or operational reasons, and will use reasonable endeavours to provide advance notice of planned maintenance.
- Lab Results: Blood biomarker test results are typically provided within one week from collection, but unexpected delays may occur. Occasionally, tests may fail despite proper sample collection, in which case we will arrange for additional samples to be taken at no extra cost to you.

3. Plans and Payment
3.1 Plans and Terms
- Plans: We offer different tiers of service (each a "Plan"), which may include different features.
- Plan Period: By purchasing a Plan, you secure access to the Service for a specific period of time associated with the given Plan (the "Plan Period").
- Service Access: Regardless of the Plan selected, your Plan is a commitment for the Plan Period that begins on the date you place your order or redeem your gift code.
- Non-Refundable: Your upfront payment guarantees access for the Plan Period and is non-refundable if you choose to stop using the Service before the Plan Period finishes (subject to your statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, as set out in Section 7).
3.2 Payment Processing

4. Your Data and Privacy
4.1 How We Handle Your Data
We collect and process your personal data as necessary to provide our Service. Depending on your specific Plan and active integrations, this may include account information, data from connected devices, blood test results, and other health-related metrics.
Our complete data practices, including what we collect, how we use it, your rights, and details of international data transfers, are set out in our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.
4.2 Health Data and Consent
Our Service is fundamentally based on analysing your health data to provide personalised insights. Health data is "special category data" under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and requires additional protection.
For this reason:
- Legal Basis: We process your personal data on the basis of performing our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR). For the processing of your health data (special category data), we rely on your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a) UK GDPR).
- Explicit Consent: We require your explicit consent to process your health data (including blood results, health and lifestyle questionnaire responses, and device data). This consent is requested separately during account creation and prior to each new category of data processing.
- Right to Withdraw: You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting info@cato.health. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
- Consequence of Withdrawal: Because processing your health data is essential to the core functionality of our Service, withdrawing consent will prevent us from delivering the Service and will result in termination of your Plan. In these circumstances, we will provide a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of your Plan Period.
4.3 Data Retention and Portability
Upon expiry or termination of your Plan:
- We will retain your personal data for a period of 30 days, during which time you may request a copy of your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format (in accordance with your right to data portability under Article 20 of the UK GDPR).
- After this 30-day period, we will securely delete or anonymise your personal data, unless we are required by law to retain it for a longer period.
- De-identified data that has already been incorporated into aggregated datasets for research or service improvement purposes will not be deleted, as it can no longer be linked to you.
4.4 Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These include encryption of data in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and regular security assessments. However, you acknowledge that no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
4.5 Third-Party Services and International Transfers
Our Service integrates with trusted third parties to provide core functionality. Depending on the features you use, this may include:
- Laboratory Partners: For processing diagnostic tests (where applicable).
- Doctors: For review and sign-off purposes.
- Data Integration Partners: For connecting with third-party apps or wearables (if enabled).
- Infrastructure Providers: For cloud hosting, AI processing, and payments.
When using our Service, your data may be shared with these providers strictly as necessary to deliver the Service. Where your data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK data protection law (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions). Further details are set out in our Privacy Policy.
4.6 Research
With your separate, explicit consent (which you may withdraw at any time without affecting your use of the Service), we may use de-identified data for:
- Research into nutrition, health, and wellness.
- Research into preventative healthcare insights and action plans.
Consent for research is entirely optional and is not a condition of using the Service.
4.7 Automated Decision-Making
Our Service uses AI to generate personalised health insights and recommendations based on your data. In accordance with Article 22 of the UK GDPR, where any automated processing could produce legal or similarly significant effects, we ensure that meaningful human oversight is available. You have the right to request human review of any automated decision by contacting info@cato.health.
5. Intellectual Property and Data Rights
5.1 Who Owns What
- You Own Your Health Data: You retain full ownership of the raw data you provide to us (such as your blood test results and wearable logs). We do not claim ownership of your personal health data.
- We Own the Platform: Cato Health owns our application design, code, brand, trademarks, and the AI models and algorithms used to generate your insights. All intellectual property rights in the Service belong to us or our licensors.
5.2 Permission to Use Your Data
To provide the Service, we need your legal permission to process your information. By using Cato Health, you grant us a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use your data solely to:
- Deliver Your Results: Analyse your inputs to generate your personal health scores, AI responses, and recommendations.
- Improve the Service: Use de-identified (anonymised) data to train our AI models and improve accuracy (subject to your consent where required).
This licence terminates when your Plan ends and your data is deleted in accordance with Section 4.3.
5.3 Your Personal Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use our platform and the insights it generates for your own personal health purposes. You agree not to copy, modify, or distribute our code, resell our insights, or attempt to reverse-engineer how our AI works.

7. Plan Changes, Cancellation, and Termination
7.1 Statutory Right to Cancel (Cooling-Off Period)
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have a legal right to cancel your Plan within 14 days of:
- The start of your Plan Period; or
- If your Plan includes an annual Membership, the start of any annual renewal period.
If you cancel during this cooling-off period, we will refund your payment in full, subject to the following deductions for services you have already received:
- Diagnostic Costs: If a nurse visit has been completed or blood samples have been processed, we will deduct the reasonable cost of those services and associated logistics from your refund.
- Service Usage: If you have accessed and used the digital platform during the cooling-off period, we may deduct a pro-rata amount for the days the Service was available to you, but only if you expressly requested that the Service begin during the cooling-off period.

After the 14-day cooling-off period has passed:
- Fixed Commitment: Your Plan is considered a fixed commitment for the Plan Period.
- Renewal Cancellation: If your Plan includes an annual Membership, you may cancel your upcoming renewal at any time, but no refunds will be issued for the current active term.

7.3 How to Cancel
To cancel, email us at info@cato.health. We will acknowledge your cancellation request within 2 business days.
7.4 Plan Pausing
In exceptional circumstances (such as pregnancy, serious illness, or bereavement), we may, at our reasonable discretion, allow you to pause your Plan. Pausing freezes your access and extends your Plan Period by the duration of the pause. Contact info@cato.health to discuss your situation.
7.5 Termination by Cato Health
We may suspend or terminate your Plan:
- For Cause: Immediately, if you materially breach these Terms, misuse the AI, or if we are required to do so by law. Where reasonably practicable, we will give you prior written notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach before termination.
- Refund on Termination: If we terminate your Plan for reasons other than your breach, we will provide a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of your Plan Period.
