Our mission is to keep you safe and informed. At Virtare Health, Inc. (the company that operates the Virtare Health mobile app, and www.VirtareHealth.com), our stance is that we will only use and share your data for the limited purposes described in this privacy policy. We do not and will not serve advertisements.

This privacy policy describes our privacy practices in connection with the Virtare Health app.

About our Biometric Data Collection

  • Our mission is to keep users safe and informed without compromising control of their personal information.
  • We will never sell your personal information to third parties or proactively share your personal information with the government without your consent.

We may need to modify our privacy practices to comply with legal requirements, such as court orders or subpoenas.

Our principles for protecting your data

  • We record the information we need to provide our services.
  • We involve as few third-party service providers as possible when touching your data. The third parties we work with have contracts in place to prohibit reuse or sale of your data.
  • We generally limit access to your data to a subset of the engineering team. We have specific systems to control data access, and all access is logged and regularly audited. We perform a privacy review for all new features.
  • We take protecting your location data seriously. We will store your data as long as necessary for active patients. Inactive patients data will be deidentified, and stored for research purposes.
  • We test the stability and security of our infrastructure, including annual penetration testing and review of our security systems and their configuration. We use an information security firm to provide these services under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Your data

  • Contact information: We use your email address and phone number to set up and validate your user account, to communicate with you, and to prevent abuse of the platform. We may also send you emails about Virtare Health - you can choose to opt out of any marketing emails by following the instructions at the bottom of the email, but we may still send you some important emails, such as a response to questions, feedback, or a request you send us.
  • Health information: You may choose to share your health information or authorize a third party to share your information with us.
  • User locations: We use your device's GPS and bluetooth signals to determine your location. You choose whether to share your location, and can always revoke the app's access to your location data in your device settings
  • User activity: We aggregate user activity data (like how you interact with the app, what times you use the app, what kind of device you have, etc.) for analysis to improve your user experience

How we share your information

We may share your data with service providers:

  • We use multiple providers such as Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Cloud services to host our infrastructure.
  • We only partner with service providers that commit to use the information only to provide services to or on behalf of us.
  • We may share your personal information with government agencies with your consent.
  • We may share some or all of your personal information in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition or dissolution transaction involving the sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of VHI's business or assets. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, personal information may also be transferred as a business asset. If VHI's company, business or assets is acquired by another company, that company will possess the personal information collected by VHI and the company will assume the rights and obligations regarding your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We will require the company to commit to using your personal information solely for contact tracing purposes.
  • We may share personal information (a) with law enforcement as we’ve explained in the Information for Law Enforcement Authorities, (b) as otherwise required by law, (c) to enforce the terms and conditions that govern the platform, (d) and protect, investigate and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity.

How long we retain your data

We will retain your Virtare Health bluetooth data and identity verification information for generally 120 days from collection on a rolling basis for active patients; and all other personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy and to support other app features you might use, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, or an individual requests that we delete information about them.

How we protect your data

We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration and destruction of personal information we maintain. Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed as completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information. In the event that we are required to notify you about a situation involving your data, we may do so by email or telephone to the extent permitted by law.

What choices you have regarding your data

You can make the following choices regarding your personal information:

  • Application. You can stop all collection of information by the app by uninstalling it. You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.
  • Access or correct your information. You may request to review and update the information we maintain about you by submitting a request to support@virtarehealth.com.
  • Opting Out of location tracking. If you initially consented to the collection of geo-location information, you can subsequently stop the collection of this information at any time by changing the preferences on your mobile device. Please note, however, that if you withdraw consent to our collection of location information, you may no longer be able to use some features of the app.

Children

Virtare Health is not directed towards individuals under the age of 13, and we do not intentionally gather personal information about visitors who are under the age of 13. Furthermore, we do not intentionally allow visitors under the age of 13 to register for the app. If a child under 13 submits personal information to us and we learn that the personal information is the information of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible.
