We may share your personal data with:
- members of our corporate family to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and provide joint services to requesting users;
- service providers, consultants or similar contractors to support or enhance the App or our business operations, or to whom we contract in order to carry out transactions initiated by you, such as credit card processing organizations (see “Service Providers” below);
- other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and solicited consent when using a specific service);
- law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity;
- persons we believe in our sole discretion necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity;
- other business entities, should we plan to merge with, or be acquired by that business entity;
third parties who will use the data for scientific research and study “Research Partners”; and
- Where your account with us is connected to the corporate account of your employer or another organization with which you are affiliated (where your employer, workplace, or other organization with which you are affiliated provides a subscription to the Services or the App) data about your usage of the App may be accessible by that organization and may be personally identifiable to you. While that data is aggregated and intended to enable the corporate provider to monitor overall usage of the App by its personnel, you may be identifiable from it if your usage is very different from other members of your organisation or if your workplace has a small number of individuals who use the service. We may also share such aggregate information with other organizations in order to provide enterprise subscribers with the ability to benchmark the wellness activity of their workforce against that of other organizations. As noted above, while that information will be in aggregate form, you may be identifiable from it if your usage is very different from other members of your organisation or if your workplace has a small number of individuals who use the service.
We will not share your personal information with third parties in order for that third party to provide direct marketing communications to you.
Notwithstanding the above, we may share information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) except as prohibited by applicable law. For information on your rights and choices regarding how we share information about you, please see the “Your Rights and Choices” section below.
Research Partners
The data we collect through your use of our App and Services gives us a valuable insight into wellbeing and health data. As such many educational and scientific institutions want to further enhance society’s understanding of wellbeing and health by carrying out scientific research on the data.
Although there is a clear common benefit in providing Research Partners with this data we respect our obligations to provide you with appropriate safeguards and to treat your data with respect. Where we share your personal data with our Research Partners for scientific research and study, we will only provide them with pseudonymised copies of your data.
Furthermore, when we share your personal information with our Research Partners, we stipulate that they protect this data and do not use it for any other purpose than for scientific research and study. We take these relationships seriously and oblige all our Research Partners to sign contracts with us that clearly set out their commitment to respecting individual rights, their commitments to assisting us to help you exercise your rights as a data subject and that they have in place suitable technological and organisational measures so that your data is secure and protected. Our major Research Partners include a variety of universities and educational institutions.
