Use of personal data

We use Personal Data only when we’re allowed to by law and only for the reasons we collected it. Most commonly, the reasons are the performing of a contract with you or your employer, the consent you gave to us, when it is necessary for our legitimate interests (and your interests and rights don’t override ours), and when we need to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.

The Services can be used by Sponsor Facilities for employee, student, vendor and visitor health monitoring and COVID-19 screening. To reduce the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus in and through the workplace or community and protect our employees, students and visitors, employers and Sponsor Facilities can implement procedures for screening employees, students, visitors, and other vendors coming into a Sponsor Facility in an effort to identify individuals who have or may have symptoms of, or have recently been exposed to, COVID-19 or related illness. As part of the screening, through the Services you may be asked certain questions for the purposes stated above in connection with your access to a Sponsor Facility.

In this regard, we will collect from you Personal Data about your health and potential symptoms and/or exposure to COVID-19, such as whether you have recently experienced a fever, cough, shortness of breath or other symptoms related to COVID-19, and whether you have or may have been in close contact with individuals who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or experiencing symptoms of the virus.

We may use Personal Data:

  • For the employee and community health monitoring and COVID-19 screening described above;
  • To login you to the Services;
  • To manage our relationship with you, such as your registration to our events or as a customer;
  • Providing you with the information and Services you have requested;
  • To respond to your inquiries and fulfill your requests;
  • To send administrative information to you, such as the services and changes to our terms, conditions and policies;
  • To send marketing communications that may be relevant to you;
  • To carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us or your Sponsor Facility and us, including for billing and collection;
  • For our business purposes, such as data analysis, audits, fraud monitoring and prevention, developing new products, enhancing, improving and modifying our services, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and operating and expanding our business activities;
  • As we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal processes; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations and those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety and property, and that of our affiliates, you and others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies and limit the damages that we may sustain.

Lawful basis for processing your Personal Data

If you are in the EU, the processing of your Personal Data is lawful only if it is permitted under the applicable data protection laws. We have a lawful basis for each of our processing activities (except when an exception applies as described below):

  • Consent. By using our Services, you consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services;
  • Legitimate Interests. We will process your Personal Data as necessary for our legitimate interests.

  • To Fulfill Our Obligations to You under our Contract. We process your Personal Data in order to fulfill our obligations to you or your Sponsor Facility pursuant to our contract with you or your Sponsor Facility to deliver our Services.
  • As Required by Law. We may also process your Personal Data when we are required or permitted to by law; to comply with government inspections, audits, and other valid requests from government or other public authorities; to respond to legal process such as subpoenas; or as necessary for us to protect our interests or otherwise pursue our legal rights and remedies (for instance, when necessary to prevent or detect fraud, attacks against our network, or other criminal and tortious activities), defend litigation, and manage complaints or claims.

For any uses on the basis of legitimate interest, we have conducted a legitimate interest assessment to ensure that such processing isn’t overridden by your rights or interests.

Developing the Services: We use aggregated Personal Data about your use of the Services to develop the platform. These activities are necessary to fulfill our interest in creating a better platform and helping us create better technology and better communications.

Sending Direct Marketing Communications: We use your data to send marketing communications about our products and Services and offerings from our affiliates.

  • In the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings) we may disclose Personal Data to a third party.

Security

We have taken appropriate technical and organizational security measures to secure your Personal Data against accidental loss and unlawful processing of such information. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

  • Right to be Forgotten. You have the right to request that we delete all of your Personal Data. We cannot delete your Personal Data except by also deleting your user account, and we will only delete your account when we no longer have a lawful basis for processing your Personal Data or after a final determination that your Personal Data was unlawfully processed.

These will be retained for the periods set forth in our disaster recovery policies.
  • You have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority in the country you live in, the country you work in, or the country where you believe your rights under applicable data protection laws have been violated. However, before doing so, we request that you contact us directly in order to give us an opportunity to work directly with you to resolve any concerns about your privacy.

We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that if you make unfounded, repetitive, or excessive requests (as determined in our reasonable discretion) to access your Personal Data, you may be charged a fee subject to a maximum set by applicable law.

Please note also that we may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes. There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed.
