Furthermore, we collect and process certain technical data generated in connection with your visit to the Website or use of the Application, which may also be considered personal data. "Processing" means any operation performed on personal data, such as collecting, recording, organizing, structuring, storing, adapting or modifying, retrieving, viewing, using, disclosing by transmission, disseminating or otherwise making available, matching or combining, limiting, deleting or destroying, or any other use.
In a situation where you are using the Website and the Application on your behalf but on behalf of a third party, be sure to obtain proper authorization before providing such data.
What data we collect and process
We collect various types of data for various purposes related to the provision and improvement of our Services. The types of information collected and processed depend on the type of services we provide through the Website and the Application. We collect and process data in the following situations:
when you contact us
when you decide to leave us your feedback
when you browse the Website or use the Application
Providing your personal data is voluntary, but without providing it we will not be able to realize what you want from us, e.g. we will not be able to contact you.
Your data will be processed for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or as long as it is necessary or possible to do so due to certain legal provisions on the processing of personal data.
1. Contact:
When you ask to contact us from our Website, we will collect and process the following data:
e-mail address,
name if voluntarily provided by you.
The legal basis for the processing of your data for the purposes of contact is your voluntary consent (legal basis pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a GDPR).
The data will be processed until the purpose of the contact request is achieved or the processing consent is withdrawn, in any case no longer than three years from the last action.
2. Feedback:
If you choose to leave us your feedback regarding the quality of our Services, we may only process the data you choose to share with us. However, providing personal information that allows us to identify you is not necessary to leave feedback.
You can leave us your contact information so that we can address your feedback.
In this case, your personal data is collected and processed for the purposes of the issued opinion, and the legal basis is your voluntary consent (legal basis according to Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a GDPR). Data will be processed until consent is withdrawn, in any case no longer than three years after the last action.
3. Security:
When you browse our Website and use the Services, we collect and process for security purposes only your IP address and other technological data from logs - which may be considered personal data. We do not process this data for the purpose of identifying you as an individual, but in order to increase the security level of the Website and Application, e.g. to be able to react to the operation of automatic mechanisms.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest (legal basis under Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR) understood as the need to ensure safe use of the Application and our Services.

4. Marketing:
In addition, we use marketing services to analyse your behaviour in order to optimize the performance of the Website and the Application, as well as advertising activities. In particular, we use technologies such as Google Analytics.

When you use the Services through the Website and the Application, we collect certain health information, as well as other information that may be helpful for the proper provision of the Services, such as data on gender, age, individual risk factors, region of residence or daily behaviour.
Such health information is not combined with information that allows us to identify the interviewee. We combine such information with a unique identifier to provide statistical insights that allow us to improve our Services. Given that we can potentially link an IP address to intelligence within a 30-day period - for that period, the data may be personal.
In this case, the data is collected and processed for purposes related to the provision of the Service through the Application and the legal basis is your voluntary consent and willingness to use the solution provided (legal basis according to Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a GDPR).
The data will be processed no longer than 30 days from the date of collection - after this period, due to the deletion of IP address data necessary for security purposes, the data will be anonymised.

Automated Decision Making
You use the Application thanks to our intelligent algorithm that carefully analyses your answers given in the interview, so you can learn the possible causes of your symptoms. This analysis is done automatically, based on the information you provide, and as a result, the tool can suggest your potential health status. This process is referred to as "profiling," and its use if it involves personal data is regulated by law (Article 22 of the GDPR). This analysis is the essence of the service and must be carried out so that you can get the result of the interview. In addition, we also analyse the way you use the Application - so we can improve the quality of our solution and make the medical device safer but also, for example, more friendly and efficient. The data and results of the analyses performed are not used for marketing purposes.
The analysis performed, although in the nature of profiling, does not have any legal effect on you or similarly significantly affect you.
Security
The security of your data is an extremely important issue for us. We endeavour, through appropriate technical and organizational measures put in place at our company, to protect your personal information from loss, destruction, deformation, any manipulation or unauthorized access, and unauthorized disclosure, on a continuous and meticulous basis.
However, it is important to keep in mind that no form of data transmission or maintenance on the Internet is 100% secure. Due to the inherent characteristics of the Internet, we are not able to guarantee that during the transmission or maintenance of data through our system or on our behalf, the data will be secure and free from any violation by third parties, such as hackers.
Cookies
We use cookies to track your activity on the Website and in the Application, and we store some of the information obtained during such tracking.
Cookies are files containing a small amount of information, which may contain an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent by our Website and Application to your browser and are stored in the memory of your device. They are used to collect and track information, as well as to analyse and improve the quality of services provided through the Website and the Application.
Please see our Cookies Policy for details.
Session Storage
To provide you with the highest level of service, we also use technology similar to Cookies (the "Session Storage"). One of the features of Session Storage is that after refreshing the session, the User can return to the exact point in the medical interview where he/she left off. It also allows us to analyse your activities in different scenarios.
Session Storage is a User-side feature that allows Website applications to store data or states at the User and browser level without involving the server.
The main features of Session Storage are as follows: 1. Stores data only for the duration of the session - this means that data is stored only until the browser (or tab) is closed; 1. Data is never sent to the server - the User always has control over it
Services provided by third parties
Based on our legitimate interest in analysing, optimizing and economically operating our business, as well as analysing User behaviour to optimize both our Website and our advertising, we use certain online marketing services such as Google Analytics. In addition, we may also use a captcha solution to protect the Website, Application and Services from fraud, spam and abuse. These services may be subject to change over time. Users can check the current list of technologies used in the table available in our Cookies Policy, and check the Website in their browser settings or contact us for more information.
Users can also prevent the collection and processing of information generated by third-party service providers' cookies by setting cookie opt-out or deactivating certain services in the menu of their end device. For more information, please refer to the privacy policies of each provider.
