Quedo Mobile Application Privacy Policy for Patients
Last updated: May 23rd, 2022

Overview

Quedo takes very seriously its obligation to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. Quedo’s mobile applications for patients are intended to connect to servers and systems operated by Quedo in order to provide you secure, mobile access to those systems and to your personal information.

Purpose

This Mobile Application Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how Quedo’s mobile applications for patients (our “Applications”) use, store, and transmit information and data. Quedo may modify this Privacy Policy at any time effective upon its posting. Your use of our Applications constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any updates. Your use of our Applications is subject to the Application’s End User License Agreement.

This Privacy Policy covers how Quedo treats your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”), Protected Health Information (“PHI”), and other data (collectively, “Data”) that you may share when you use the Applications. Quedo established this Privacy Policy to let you know the kinds of Data we may gather, why we gather this Data, how this Data is used, how you can manage your Data, and under what circumstances, if any, this Data is disclosed. By using the Applications, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

You may have been invited to register for, install, or use the Applications from a third party. Quedo is not responsible for the actions, privacy policies, or other legal notices of these third parties, their websites, or their applications. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that you may share with us offline or with third parties, including websites or applications that may be linked to the Applications.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

Quedo may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a new version on its Applications. You should check this page occasionally to review any changes. If Quedo makes material changes affecting you, as determined in the sole discretion of Quedo, Quedo will notify you by posting the revised Privacy Policy on its Applications and, if you are a registered user of the Quedo Applications, by providing other notice through the Applications or by email. This helps you to always remain aware of what Data Quedo collects, how your Data is used, and under what circumstances, if any, it is disclosed. Your continued use of the Applications and/or continued provision of Data to us will be subject to the terms of the then-current Privacy Policy.

TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

Quedo collects certain Data when you download or use its Applications. Depending on how you use the Applications, Quedo may or collect certain kinds of information about you. This information may, but does not necessarily, include:

Personal Health Information (PHI). If you are using the Applications as part of your treatment from a health care provider or membership with a health insurance plan, then any information that identifies you as a patient of the health care provider or regarding your health may be PHI. If you are not a patient but are using the Applications on behalf of a health care provider or health insurance company, then information about others that is accessible through the Applications may be PHI. We will only use or disclose PHI as permitted or required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended, and all associated laws and regulations (collectively, “HIPAA”). If your use of the Application is for purposes of a research protocol or is not through a health care provider, then HIPAA may not be applicable.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII). PII is any information that can individually identify you and includes your name, and contact information, such as e-mail address, telephone number, or postal address.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Non-personally identifiable information includes information that does not personally identify you, but it may be linkable to you. If non-personally identifiable information is directly linked to personally identifiable information, it will be considered PII while it is linked. Aggregate and de-identified information is not considered PII.

Personal Data. Among the types of Personal Data that the Applications may, but does not necessarily, collect from you, by itself or through third parties, there are: geographic position, general activity data, movement activity, Cookies, Usage Data, first name, last name, email address, body measurements & indexes, sleeping activity, phone number and picture. Some information regarding phone and SMS usage may be obtained from your device in the case that you choose to contact an emergency hotline. Personal Data may be freely provided by the user of the Applications, or, in case of Usage Data, collected automatically. Failure to provide the requested Personal Data may make it impossible for Quedo to provide its Applications to you. In cases where the Applications specifically state that some Data is not mandatory, you are free to withhold this Data without any consequences on the availability or the functioning of the Applications. If you are unsure about what Data is mandatory, contact us at (877) 901-1444 or robert@quedo.com.

Whenever you visit our websites or applications, Quedo receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, Quedo’s cookie information and the pages you request, and relates it to the Data you provide. Any use of Cookies – or of other tracking tools – serves the purpose of providing, customizing or improving the Service.

Users are responsible for any third-party Data obtained, published or shared through the Applications and confirm that they have the third party’s consent to provide the Data to Quedo.

Quedo’s services are not intended for children under 13 years of age and Quedo does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and believe he or she has disclosed personally identifiable information to Quedo, please contact Quedo at robert@quedo.com. A parent or guardian of a child under age 13 may review and request deletion of the child’s personal information.
