WHY WE WILL USE YOUR DATA

 We process personal data in accordance with our Data Processing Impact Assessment (“DPIA”), which is a set of tools and assessments used to identify and reduce risks of a data processing activity. The DPIA is a description of the processing, its purpose and our legitimate interests if appropriate, which assesses the necessity and proportionality of processing in relation to its purposes and the risk to individuals, along with the risk mitigation measures in place and demonstration of compliance. Our DPIA (redacted to remove any commercially sensitive information) is available on request.

The lawful bases for processing personal data are set out in Article 6 of the GDPR. We may process your personal data on more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out below. At least one of these must apply whenever we process personal data:

• Consent:   you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data as a controller for specific purposes such as for communications between us and to allow us to learn what you want so we can improve our services;
• Contract:   the processing is necessary for a contract we have with you (for example, to process and deliver our services to you and to manage our relationship with you) or for a contract with your healthcare provider, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract;
• Legal obligation:  the processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (not including contractual obligations) including under applicable medical devices legislation the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EC (whilst still in force) and the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (when in force);
• Vital interests:  the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life; and
• Legitimate interests:  the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (for example to administer and maintain our Platform) or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

We rely on the following legitimate interests when processing your personal data:

• To manage our business and comply with our obligations to our patients, staff, suppliers and controllers we process on behalf of;
• To protect our proprietary and commercially sensitive information;
• To administer and maintain our Platform.

We also need to satisfy specific conditions for using your health data.  We rely upon the following ground in this regard:

• Healthcare provision: the processing of data concerning your health is necessary for us to deliver our services to you and to allow access the features of our services through the Platform and to keep you in contact with your Medical Practitioner, Academic, Carer or other authorised third-party (where applicable).

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than as described below. However, where we do ask for your consent we will do so in order to comply with the principle that any processing must be lawful, fair and transparent.

Examples of our third parties include:

• Medical device regulators (e.g. the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the UK) in the performance of their powers and obligations under applicable medical devices legislation the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EC (whilst still in force) and the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (when in force);

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we have collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

HOW WE MAY COMMUNICATE WITH YOU

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data (as defined above) to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you.

You will receive these communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased products or services from us and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving such marketing communications.

We will always get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any other company for any marketing purposes.

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time emailing us at info@livingwith.health or by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

HOW LONG WE WILL KEEP YOUR DATA

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data and your Special Categories of Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) in which case we may use this information indefinitely and in whatever way we deem appropriate without further notice to you. We may also share and commercialise this anonymised data with third parties at our discretion and in any we deem fit, including but not limited to allowing us and them to improve the services that are delivered to you.
