If you do not consent, then you must not use our services.
Aggregated Data
We may anonymise and aggregate data from all subjects. This data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your age or health data, but without your name, address or contact details.
We may also use collated, anonymised data to monitor website usage, for population analysis and for the identification of behaviour trends. We may publish these findings, or share them with third parties.

We will collect and process the following data about you:
Cookies
Our websites use cookies. They are placed by software that operates on our servers, and by software operated by third parties whose services we use. You can choose to block cookies at any time. If you choose not to use cookies or you prevent their use through your browser settings, you will not be able to use all the functionality of our website.
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to do so.
One of the main purposes of the Service is to collect information on your health and wellbeing, in order to calculate your risk factors for specific diseases and provide advice on how to manage those risk factors.
By accessing our Service, you consent to us processing your information for those purposes. If you do not consent to us processing your information for those purposes, you must not use our Services.
Other uses of your personal data
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

We will share your personal data with the third parties set out below
Service providers acting as processors based in the United Kingdom who provide IT and system administration services.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
Where you do this, your data will no longer be available to you. But this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent, or any processing we carry out which does not require your consent.
Also, your anonymised data (which is no longer personal information) may still be used within the aggregated data we collate.
We may transfer your personal data to third parties providing services to us who are based outside of the United Kingdom. This includes parties providing IT administration services and hosting services.
Whenever we transfer your personal data outside of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.
Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way.
We will collect and store personal data on your Device using application data caches and your device’s internal storage.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Because of the purposes for which we are collecting your information, it is very difficult to provide a set retention period. We will keep this under regular review. When reviewing whether to retain data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In most cases, this means we will retain your data unless and until you delete your data.
For more details, please contact our Data Protection Manager.
Under certain circumstances you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
These rights are as follows:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ”data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we will not be able to provide information to your employer.
You also have the right to ask us not to continue to process your personal data for marketing purposes.
You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
