When processing your personal data in the context of the purposes set out in this Policy, we may, depending on the circumstances, rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

· the processing is necessary for the detection or prevention of crime (including the prevention of fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing);

Sources of data collection

All data is collected directly from the end user about the use of the app. When filling out feedback or self-test forms or at the end of an exercise, this information is transmitted to the Kaia server via an encrypted TLS connection and stored in an appropriately secured database.

Motion Coach

Furthermore the app contains a feature, that allows the video recording of training sessions. Such recordings are only created based on the explicit consent of the user (Art 6 (1) (a) and Art 9 (2) (a) GDPR). The video recordings are processed to improve the functionality of the app.

In particular, the following data processing procedures take place:

- Review of the recordings by individual employees and evaluation in regards to eligibility for improving the machine learning model.

- Automatic evaluation for improving the machine learning model.

- Additional analysis procedures to improve the product.

The video recordings are stored for 10 years and are not shared with third parties.

Further information about the app

Finally, our app can use push notifications to send you notifications. When you use the app for the first time, you will be asked if you want to activate these functions in your settings menu. If you do not enable or later disable these features, you may not be able to take full advantage of the app.

The information you provide when setting up your account in the app may include your name, user name, email address, gender, country of residence, telephone number, payment data and details of your condition. When you register for an account with us, you also have a unique password with which you can access your account.

Security measures

We have taken appropriate technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of technology, implementation costs as well as nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing and the different likelihood and severity of any risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to protect your personal data against unintentional or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access, and any other unlawful or unauthorized forms of processing under applicable law.

Such measures include in particular, ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the relevant access, input, disclosure, security of availability and its separation. In addition, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of the rights of data subjects, deletion of data and reaction to data risks. In addition, we take into account the protection of personal data when developing or selecting the hardware, software and procedures in line with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly presettings (Art. 25 GDPR).

Cooperation with processors and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit data to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of a legal permission, if you have given consent, if this is required by law or based on our legitimate interests (e.g. when involving third parties to host the servers, deliver e-mail contact forms as well as response to enquiries through the form).

If we commission third parties with the processing of data based on a so-called "processing contract," this will be done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Transmission into third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosure or transmission of data to third parties, this will only be done to fulfill our (pre-)contractual obligations, based on your consent (with corresponding precise information and specifying those third countries), if required by law or based on our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or have the data processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are fulfiled. This means that the processing is carried out e.g. on the basis of specific guarantees, such as the officially recognized level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. for the US through the 'Privacy Shield') or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called 'standard contractual clauses').

Please note that the level of data protection of such third countries is lower than the level of protection of the European Union.

Pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR you have the right to request completion of the data concerning you or correction of any incorrect data concerning you.

If certain data processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right to object

You may object to the future processing of your data at any time pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR. Such objection may be made in particular against processing for direct marketing purposes (see also below).

Direct marketing

We use your information to communicate with you and to keep you informed about our activities and events and those of third parties in which you may be interested, and to make suggestions and recommendations to you and other users of our website and app about products or services that may interest you or them (direct marketing). Our goal is to send you only direct marketing directly related to the usage of the product. We provide this information to you by email (subject to your prior consent, if required by law), push notifications on our app, targeted ads on our app and third-party platforms, text, social media or telephone.

Cookies and right to object in case of direct marketing

'Cookies' are small files that are stored on the users' computers. Different types of information can be stored by such cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store the information about a user (or the device where the cookie is stored) during or after his/her visit to an online offer. Temporary cookies, or 'session cookies' or 'transient cookies' are cookies that are deleted after a user has left a online offer and closes his/her browser. Such a cookie may store e.g. the contents of a shopping cart in an online store or a login jam. Cookies are 'permanent' or 'persistent' if they remain stored even after the browser has been closed. For example, the login status can be saved if users visit again after several days. Similarly, such a cookie can also store the users' interests, which are used for range measurement or marketing purposes. 'Third-party cookie' refers to cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online offer (otherwise, if only their cookies are used, they are called 'first-party cookies').


We hereby explain in this Privacy Policy that we may use temporary and permanent cookies.


If users do not want cookies stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the relevant option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. However, the exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes is possible for a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site www.youronlinechoices.com/ . Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by switching them off in the browser's settings. Please note that in this case it may not be possible to use all features of this online offer.

Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted pursuant to Art. 17 and 18 GDPR or their processing will be restricted. Unless explicitly stated in this Privacy Policy, the data stored by us will be deleted once they are no longer required for their intended purpose and unless the deletion conflicts with any legal storage requirements. If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legitimate purposes, their processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for any other purposes. This applies for example to data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons.


Hosting

We use hosting services for the purpose of providing the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage and database services, security services and technical maintenance services, which we use to operate this app.


We or our hosting provider process user data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this app, based on our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this app pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.

Integration of services and contents of third parties

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we use content or services offered by third-parties in our online offer in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as 'content').

This always requires that the third-party providers of such content can detect the users' IP address as they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only those contents whose providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the contents. Third party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as 'web beacons') for statistical or marketing purposes. 'Pixel tags' may be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymized information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information regarding the use of our online offer, or be linked to such information from other sources.

Outbrain Inc.

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we use the service provider Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011 with seat in the USA for the purpose of pseudonymized marketing tracking. Outbrain shows performance-based ad contents on partner websites to relevant target groups.


The required pseudonymized information about your use of our website will be stored on a server in the USA. The processed data may be used to create usage profiles of users, which will be used only for analysis purposes and not for advertising purposes. For further information, please see the Privacy Policy of Outbrain Inc. at: https://automattic.com/privacy/ and the explanatory note on Jetpack-Cookies: https://jetpack.com/support/cookies/ .

Facebook Custom Audience

In addition, we may also use Facebook Custom Audience and related Facebook tools to offer you advertising on other websites (including social media networks such as Facebook). Facebook Custom Audience is a tool provided by Facebook that connects a kaia customer/visitor with a Facebook user to advertise on the Facebook platform. To do so, we share your information with such third-party providers (e.g. Facebook) and use cookies or similar technologies on our website to analyze the effectiveness of our advertising on other websites. For more information about the use of data by Facebook, please click on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/ads/about . You may withdraw your consent to the use of your data for such purposes at any time by contacting us by e-mail at service@kaiahealth.com.

Facebook

We use the "Conversion Tracking-Pixel" of Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. This allows users' behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This process is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and may help to optimize future advertising efforts. The data collected is anonymous to us, so it does not give us any indication of the identity of the users. However, Facebook stores and processes the data so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You can allow Facebook and its partners to serve ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. Consent to the use of the visitor action pixel may only be given by users who are over 16 years of age. If you are younger, please ask your legal guardian for permission.

We may share information, including Personally Identifiable Information, with our licensors, service providers and agents to the extent reasonably necessary to operate and provide our Platform to you. For example, we use a third-party provider for e-mail and cannot communicate with you by e-mail without disclosing your e-mail address to our third-party e-mail provider.

  • you, upon your written request; and
  • other third parties with your express consent.

COOKIES AND BEACONS

We may use cookies, beacons and similar technologies, now or in the future, to support the functionality of our Platform. This provides a better experience when you visit our Platform and allows us to improve our Content and Platform.

  • Browser Cookies. A browser cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. That cookie then communicates with servers, ours or those of other companies that we authorize to collect data for us, and allows recognition of your personal computer. We associate cookies with Personally Identifiable Information only if you use the automatic recognition capabilities on restricted areas of the Platform, view Content, use the personalization services available as part of the Platform, or ask us to contact you with additional marketing information. We do not otherwise collect Personally Identifiable Information from browser cookies and we do not associate browser cookies with your Personally Identifiable Information.

You may use the tools available on your computer or other device to set your browser to refuse or disable all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set. However, if you refuse or disable all browser cookies, you may be unable to access certain parts or use certain features or functionality of our Platform.

You may choose whether to activate automatic recognition when you register for an account. After registration, you may disable the persistent cookie that supports recognition using the tools in your browser. If you choose to disable the cookies that support automatic recognition, you will need to re-enter your User ID and password each time you access a gated portion of the Platform.

Unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that it refuses all cookies, we may use cookies when you direct your browser to our Platform.

  • Flash Cookies. Certain features of our Platform may use local stored objects called flash cookies to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from and on our Platform. We also include cookies in our third-party hosted video players to count the number of unique viewers who see a video and to provide aggregate reporting. The cookies do not identify you as an individual or track your online behavior. We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information from flash cookies and we will not associate them with your Personally Identifiable Information.

Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe's website. If you disable or refuse Flash cookies, please note that some parts of our Platform may be inaccessible or may not function properly.

  • Our Platform and e-mails may contain small electronic files known as beacons (also referred to as web beacons, clear GIFs, pixel tags and single-pixel GIFs) that permit us to, for example, count Users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail and for other website-related statistics. Beacons in e-mail marketing campaigns allow us to track your responses and your interests in our content, offerings and web pages. You may use the tools in your device to disable these technologies as well.
YOUR CHOICES

You may have the opportunity to receive certain communications from us related to our Platform. If you provide us with your e-mail address in order to receive communications, you can opt out of marketing e-mails at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of our e-mails and adjusting your e-mail preferences. Please note that certain e-mails may be necessary for the operation of our Platform. You will continue to receive these e-mails, if appropriate, even if you unsubscribe from our optional communications.

Certain websites you visit may provide options regarding advertisements you receive. For more information or to opt out of certain online behavioral advertising, please visit http://www.aboutads.info.

Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” feature, which is intended to be a signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked across different websites you visit. Our Platform does not currently change the way they operate based upon detection of a Do Not Track or similar signal.

Please note that we cannot control how third-party websites or online services you visit through our Platform respond to Do Not Track signals. Check the privacy policies of those third parties for information on their privacy practices.

You may opt out of our direct telemarketing contacts by requesting us to remove you from our direct telemarking list. Please note that opting out from our direct telemarketing contacts does not limit us from contacting you for other purposes, including those contacts that are reasonably necessary to provide you with our Platform. If you decide to opt out of our direct telemarketing contacts, allow a reasonable time for us to process your request, and do not hesitate to contact us at Privacy@kaiahealth.com if you encounter any problems with your request. The FTC also maintain a National Do Not Call Registry at www.donotcall.gov/register/reg.aspx. By registering your number with the FTC may also limit our direct marketing contacts to that number.

The accuracy of the information we have about you is very important. Users may update their information at any time on the account registration page. Otherwise, to review or correct your Personally Identifiable Information, you may contact us at Privacy@kaiahealth.com.

SECURING YOUR INFORMATION

The security of your information is important to Kaia, and we have established reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personally Identifiable Information against loss, alteration, unauthorized access, theft, misuse or disclosure. Unfortunately, no system can guarantee complete security of your information.
