For Residents of the European Economic Area: Our sharing of your personal data is in accordance with European and national data protection laws and regulations, and only done when permitted by such laws.

Sharing your Personal Data with some of these organizations could result in your Personal Data being transferred to entities situated outside of your country.

 

Do we use Cookies and Additional Tracking Mechanisms?

We might use cookies and analogous tracking tools (such as pixel tags and web markers) to compile and safeguard your data. Comprehensive details concerning our application of such technologies and the methods by which you can decline specific cookies can be found in our Cookie Consent.

 

Is Your Data Transferred Internationally?

Our data centers are situated in the United States. If you’re using our Services from locations outside of the United States, it’s important to understand that your data will be transferred to, kept, and utilized in our facilities, as well as by select third parties we may collaborate with (see “How We Share Personal Data?” for further information), both within the United States and other countries.

For residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, it’s worth noting that the data protection regulations in these destinations may not be as comprehensive as those in your own jurisdiction. Nonetheless, we commit to employing all essential safeguards to secure your Personal Data in accordance with this privacy statement and applicable legislation.

Adoption of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Provisions: To ensure the security of your Personal Data, we employ European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for cross-border transfers of Personal Data among our affiliated entities and between ourselves and our third-party suppliers. These clauses mandate that all involved parties adhere to EEA or UK data protection standards for all Personal Data originating from these regions. Additionally, we’ve set up analogous adequate safeguards with our third-party service providers and collaborators; further details on these measures can be made available upon request.

 

How Long Do We Keep Your Data?

HLTH Research will store your Personal Data only for the period necessary to achieve the goals detailed in this privacy statement. Should legal obligations, tax considerations, or accounting requirements necessitate a longer retention period, we will comply accordingly. No objective specified in this notification will necessitate the retention of your Personal Data for more than twelve (12) months subsequent to the deactivation of the user’s account.

When there is no continuing valid necessity to handle your Personal Data, HLTH Research will take one of the following actions: either deletion or anonymization of your data. If neither deletion nor anonymization is feasible (for instance due to the storage of your Personal Data in backup archives), we will securely house your Personal Data and restrict any additional processing until deletion becomes practicable.

 

How Do We Keep Your Personal Data Safe?

We’ve established various technical and organizational measures that are both reasonable and adequate to safeguard the security of the Personal Data we handle. Nevertheless, it’s important to understand that no method of electronic transmission or data storage is entirely foolproof. As a result, we cannot fully guarantee that your Personal Data will be absolutely insusceptible to unauthorized access or security breaches by hackers or cybercriminals. We are committed to doing our utmost to protect your Personal Data, but the risk associated with transmitting such data to and from our Services remains your responsibility. Therefore, it’s advisable to access our Services in a secure environment.

 

Do We Collect Personal Data from Individuals Under the Age of 18?

HLTH Research does not intentionally collect Personal Data from individuals who are under 18 years old. To utilize our Services, you must confirm that you are 18 years of age or older, or that you have obtained consent from a parent or guardian who agrees to be responsible for your use of the Services.

Parents may use some of our Services (for example the PHMP Questionnaire) on behalf of their child/children to voluntary share their Childrens’ Personal Data from their parent account. The information we collect in this case will be treated under our current Privacy Policy.

Should we become aware that Personal Data has been gathered from users younger than 18 years of age without appropriate consent, we will take steps to promptly disable the relevant account and remove the information from our records in a reasonable manner. If you discover that we may have inadvertently collected information from individuals under the age 18, please reach out to us at [email protected].

 

Configuration Options for Avoidance-Of-Tracking Mechanisms

Numerous internet browsers, as well as certain mobile OS and applications, come with an “Avoid Tracking” (“AT”) functionality or setting that you can enable, which communicates your desire to not have your online browsing activities monitored or recorded. Currently, there isn’t a universally accepted technology standard for recognizing and implementing these AT settings. Therefore, HLTH Research does not take action in response to these AT settings at this time, nor do we adhere to any system that automatically indicates your preference to avoid tracking. If, in the future, an online tracking standard is established that necessitates our compliance, we will update you through an amended version of this Privacy Policy.

 

Alter Consent Preferences for Communication Options

Email Communication Consent: Following your registration for email correspondences, you have the option to opt out by using the “unsubscribe” feature found in any promotional email we distribute. Be advised that opting out from “all emails” refers exclusively to “all emails that are not essential for the service delivery.” You will continue to receive email communications that are imperative for delivering the Services or to recover accounts, and so on.

 

Do We Make Updates to this Privacy Policy?

HLTH Research reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy periodically. The amended version will be distinguished by a revised “Last Modified” date, and the modifications will take effect immediately upon being made publicly available. If we implement significant alterations to this Privacy Policy, we may bring them to your attention either through a conspicuous posting on our platform or by direct communication to you. We recommend frequent review of this Privacy Policy to remain informed about how we are safeguarding your Personal Data.
