This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is intended to describe our practices regarding the information we may collect from you when you use the Services, the ways in which we may use such information, and the options and rights available to you. This Privacy Policy supplements, and should be read in conjunction with our [add link to terms of use] (the “TOU”), which provides additional information on the Services. Capitalized terms which are not defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in our TOU.

1. Your Consent (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!)

BY ENTERING, CONNECTING TO, ACCESSINsG OR USING THE SERVICES (OR ANY PART THEREOF), YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY, INCLUDING THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL AND HEALTH INFORMATION (AS DEFINED BELOW).

IF YOU DISAGREE TO ANY TERM PROVIDED HEREIN, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS AND/OR USE THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER.

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE NOTE: YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE US WITH ANY PERSONAL OR HEALTH INFORMATION. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE PROVIDING US WITH SUCH INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN FREE WILL, FOR THE PURPOSES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4 BELOW, AND THAT WE MAY USE, PROCESS AND RETAIN SUCH PERSONAL OR HEALTH INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND SUBJECT TO ANY APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

 

2. Types of information we may collect from our Users

We may collect three types of data and information from our Users:

1. Personal Information, which is information that identifies an individual or may, with reasonable effort, identify an individual, either alone or in combination with other information, all unless anonymized, such as name, email, address, location. Some technical parameters may also be considered as Personal Information, such as IP address and UDID (Unique Device Identifier), User pool parameters; and
2. Health Related Information (“Health Information”), which is Personal Information that corresponds to certain physiological indicators such as respiratory indicators, sounds of physical distress, and certain other voluntary and involuntary physical distress signals which may signify bather distress and any Personal Information we derive from such information; and

• Non-personal Information, which is non-identifying and without reference to the identity of any User, such as technical data that is necessary for the performance of the Services, for example app analytics, taps and inputs, Wi-Fi network information, operating system, mobile device type, SoSense Device technical information, browser and keyboard language, the 'click-stream' and activities on the Services, and the period of time the Services were used and related timestamps. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, we will treat any User Personal Information that is anonymized and deidentified in a way that such User can no longer be personally identified as Non-personal Information and may use or share this information in aggregated form for statistical, research or other lawful purposes.

For the avoidance of doubt, we will treat any Non-personal Information connected or linked to any Personal Information as Personal Information as long as such connection or linkage exists. In this context it is important to note that Health Information is included within the category of Personal Information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

9. Local Storage and Third Party Software/Service, Cookies and other Tracking Technology

   • Local Storage. When you access or use the Services, we may use industry-wide technologies which temporarily store certain information on the SoSense Device and/or your smartphone, your computer or other mobile device (“Local Storage”) and which will allow us to enable automatic activation of certain features, and make your Services experience much more convenient and effortless. The Local Storage used by the Services is created per session and is removed as your session ends, provided that you have completed your attempt to upload Health Information to the SoSense Services and until such completion the information shall remain on Local Storage. We also use certain monitoring and tracking technologies, including ones offered by Third Party Service Providers in order to collect and process Personal Information we specified above. These technologies are used in order to maintain, provide and improve our Services on an ongoing basis, in order to provide a better experience to our Users and to provide our customers and potential customers with more relevant advertisements of our Services. For example, these technologies enable us to: (i) keep track of and apply our customer's and potential customers’ SoSense Services and Website preferences and authenticated sessions, (ii) better secure our Services by detecting abnormal behaviors, (iii) identify technical issues and improve the overall performance of our Services, (iv) monitor and analyze our ads’ performance, (v) create and monitor analytics relating to use of our Services, and (v) deliver to you targeted advertisements that are more tailored to you based on your browsing activities and inferred interests.
   • Cookies. A cookie is a small datafile that is downloaded and stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our Website. Learn more about cookies here: allaboutcookies.org.

Some of these tracking technologies are provided to us by our Third Party Services Providers who collect and process Personal Information on our behalf. These Third Party Services Providers may have direct contractual relationship with you (such as Google and Facebook). Additionally the services provided to us by such Third Party Services Providers may entail collection and processing of Personal Information by such Third Party Services Providers, in a scope which is broader than the scope of Personal Information we are eventually provided with by such Third Party Services Providers. This means that sometimes these Third Party Services Providers have more access to your Personal Information than we do. For example, our payment gateway service provider has access to your financial information under strict terms, while we do not receive such access at all in order to better protect your rights. To the extent you have direct contractual relationship with any of our Third Party Services Providers, any rights you may have with respect to your information, collected by such Third Party Services Providers, shall be governed by such contractual relationship. Otherwise the terms of this Privacy Policy shall fully apply. In this context you should note that we may use Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn’s functionality of re- marketing through their tracking cookies and pixel-based retargeting services. This means that if you provided your consent to Google, Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn (the “Social Ad Platforms”) to be provided with personalized commercial offers, you may be served with ads (including advertisements of third parties) based on your access to the Services or Website, outside of the Services and Website and across the internet. In such event the Social Ad Platforms, will place cookies on your web browser and use such cookies to serve you ads based on past visits to our Services and Website.

PLEASE NOTE – such tracking and targeting by Social Ad Platforms, is provided pursuant to your engagement with such Social Ad Platforms and the actual nature and scope of Personal Information collection and processing performed by such Social Ad Platforms is not transparent to us. If you would like to learn more or make further inquiries with respect to such nature or scope please refer to each of such Social Ad Platforms directly. In addition, if you wish that we do not use your personal information we obtain through use of cookies and pixel tags for the purpose of serving you personalized relevant ads, please send us an e-mail to info@sosense.co  and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable laws.
