When does this privacy policy apply?

The Privacy Policy applies to personal data that we collect, use and otherwise process about you in connection with your use of the Services.

How and why do we process your personal data?

When you use the Services, we may collect and process different personal data about you. The personal data we process, the basis of processing, and the purposes of processing are detailed below. Sometimes, these activities are carried out by third parties (see “Sharing of Personal Data” section below). We encourage you to supply only the information you are comfortable with.

Information from other sources

We may obtain information about you from other sources, including through third party services and organizations to supplement information provided by you. For example, if you access our Services through a third-party application, such as an app store, a third-party login service, or a social networking site, we may collect information about you from that third-party application that you have made available via your privacy settings. This supplemental information allows us to verify information that you have provided to us and to enhance our ability to provide you with the Services and information about our business and products.

Analytics vendors

We may also use Google Analytics and other service providers to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on our Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit Google Privacy. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of our website by clicking this link: Opt-Out of Google Analytics.

Use of de-identified and aggregated information

We may use personal data and other data about you to create de-identified and aggregated information, such as general location information, information about the computer or device from which you access our Services or other analyses we create. We may share this information with the parties listed in “Sharing of Personal Data” below or as required or permitted by applicable law.

Sharing of personal data with third parties

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except as provided below.

• Service providers

We use third party service providers who provide technical and support services to help us provide and improve the product and Services. In providing the Services, these third party service providers may have limited access to databases of user information or registered member information solely for the purpose of helping us to improve the product and they will be subject to contractual restrictions prohibiting them from using the personal data of our members for any other purpose.

• Disclosures to third parties for special programs

If you participate in the special program, we will share the outcome of your participation in the program (as measured, for example, by your survey responses, engagement and satisfaction metrics) with the program partner, which may include your employer, certification authorities, or other medical and academic partners who help conduct the study. The results of your study do not contain your messages with Mooditude. Note that your participation in special programs may be governed by terms outside of this Privacy Policy.

• Disclosure to other third parties

In certain circumstances, we share and/or are obliged to share your personal data with third parties for the purposes described above and in accordance with applicable law, including if we, in good faith, believe doing so is required or appropriate to comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal processes, such as a court order or subpoena; protect your, our or others’ rights, property, or safety; enforce our policies or contracts; collect amounts owed to us; assist with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity or as otherwise allowed under applicable law. These third parties include:

• administrative authorities (tax or social security authorities)
• financial institutions
• insurance companies
• police, public prosecutors, regulators
• external advisors

We may also disclose your personal data in connection with a corporate re-organization, a merger or amalgamation with another entity, a sale of all or a substantial portion of our assets or stock, including any due diligence exercise carried out in relation to the same, provided that the information disclosed continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity acquiring the information.

Transfer outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the UK

Your personal data may be transferred, stored and processed in one or more countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland, or the UK, for example, when one of our service providers use employees or equipment based outside the EEA or UK. For transfers of your personal data to third parties outside of the EEA or UK, we take additional steps consistent with applicable law. We endeavor to put in place adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of your privacy, fundamental rights and freedoms, and the exercise of your rights, e.g. we will endeavor to establish an adequate level of data protection through EU Standard Contractual Clauses based on the EU Commission’s model clauses. If you would like to see a copy of any relevant provisions, please contact Mooditude’s Data Protection Officer / Representative (see “Contact Us” section below).

How is my personal data secured

Mooditude operates and uses appropriate technical and physical security measures to protect your personal data. We have, in particular, taken appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. Access is only granted on a need-to-know basis to those people whose roles require them to process your personal data. You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your personal data. For instance, safeguard your email, password and personal credentials when you are using the Services, so that other people will not have access to your personal data. Furthermore, you are responsible for maintaining the security of any device on which you utilize the Services. Unfortunately, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal data you provide to us. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure.

Storage of personal data

We will keep your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected as described above and in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations. If you would like further information about our data retention practices you can ask for this at any time (see “Contact Us” section below).
