Last Updated: October 2021

Our mission at ConnectedLife I Health is to make the world’s health data useful so that people enjoy healthier lives. We have developed tools that collect and organize health data, utilized data science applications, and created interventions and platforms that put insights derived from that health data to use for more holistic care management. We have three guiding product design principles, starting with the user (condition), aiming to simplify care, and leading to security and privacy. We will make such products available to health professionals to manage the care and well-being of their patients. We believe that providing transparency around the data and personal information you entrust to us is critical to completing that mission. Your privacy and trust are our utmost priority.

  1. Which Countries We Transfer Your Personal Information To

Our system is built to store and process data within or as close to your location as possible. We have set up multiple variants of our system to ensure this is the case. Using cloud services allows us to provide our services in multiple geographical locations to ensure that your data stays within a set geographical range. For example, for customers located in Europe, we have set up our system infrastructure within European boundaries and all services run through this separated infrastructure.

On occasion, we may need to transfer your personal information to locations outside the jurisdiction in which we provide our for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.  This may entail a transfer of your information from a location within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) to outside the EEA, or from outside the EEA to a location within the EEA.  Please see ‘How we share information’ for more details on how the information may be shared with ConnectedLife offices and third-party service providers.  

The level of information protection in countries outside the EEA may be less than that offered within the EEA. Where this is the case, we will implement appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information remains protected and secure by applicable data protection laws. Where our third-party service providers process personal data outside the EEA in the course of providing services to us, our written agreement with them will include appropriate measures, usually standard contractual clauses. 

  1. Other Rights and Important Notices

You agree to our information practices, including the collection, use, processing, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, as well as the transfer and processing of your information to other countries globally where we have or use facilities, service providers, or partners, regardless of where you use our Services. Please note that the countries where we operate may have privacy and data protection laws that differ from, and are potentially less protective than, the laws of your country. You agree to this risk when you have an account with us and agree to our Terms and Conditions, irrespective of which country you live in. If you later wish to withdraw your consent, you can terminate your account with us.
