Privacy statement

At Inuvi we take data protection seriously and are committed to safeguarding all data in our possession and ensuring the privacy of our customers.

This policy is for your information. It outlines what information will be collected from customers of Inuvi and the visitors to our website, why it is required and how the information will be used under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

  • Processed lawfully, fairly and transparently
  • Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes
  • Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary
  • Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
  • Kept for no longer than is necessary where data subjects are identifiable
  • Processed securely and protected against accidental loss, destruction or damage

As a Data Processor, Inuvi keeps and processes information about you if we are instructed by your service provider to conduct a medical examination and/or perform laboratory tests on samples taken from you if, for example, you have applied for either life insurance or a health assessment service. The information that we hold and process will be shared with your service provider who is the Data Controller. You should review your service providers’ own privacy policy for a description of how they use this information.

If you choose not to provide the information that is asked of you during your medical examination then we may in some circumstances be unable to comply with our obligations to the data controller. Your service provider will inform you of the implications of that decision.

The sort of information we hold may include, but not be limited to; your name, postal The sort of information we hold may include, but not be limited to; your name, postal address, E-Mail address, telephone contact numbers, GP details, the answers to medical questions, the results of medical examinations and laboratory tests, and correspondence including emails and phone call recordings with you or where you are discussed.

Under GDPR, it is legitimate to process sensitive personal data where necessary. For example – if you have applied for a life insurance policy and consented to your medical information being used for the purposes of an underwriting decision. What counts as sensitive personal data remains broadly the same as that under the Data Protection Act. In terms of your relationship with Inuvi, we will collect sensitive personal information relating to your health only as directed by your service provider.

Sharing and transferring personal data

Inuvi will only disclose information about you to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so. Where we need to comply with our contractual duties to the service provider, sub-processors will be used. For example, a laboratory when a lab test is required, or a nurse or doctor to undertake the medical examination. Otherwise, we do not pass any of your information to a third party.

If there is a requirement in the future to process your data for a purpose other than for which it was collected, your consent will be required. You will be provided with notice, the information on that purpose and any other relevant information.

Record keeping and Data retention periods

We will maintain clear and accessible records of all data processing activities.

Data will only be kept for as long as is required through our contractual obligations to the service provider. If you request for your personal data to be erased through your service provider, we will comply with their requests when certain circumstances are met. You should review the service provider’s privacy policy for information on their data retention policies.

Where we act as a Data Controller in the provision of health assessment services, we retain personal data in line with our legal obligations. Typically, this is a period of 8-years from the point we obtained the data. However, in some cases, such as legal requirements, we may be required to keep the data longer.

Inuvi Website – How your information will be used

The use of the pages on the Inuvi website is possible without any indication of personal data other than the public IP address that you are browsing from; however, if you want to send Inuvi a message, processing of personal data will become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we will obtain consent from you.

Inuvi has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, you are free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

Inuvi acts as both the data controller and processor in respect to the data received through our website. No information is passed on to third parties or sub-processors unless additional consent is collected first, for example, during a job application that results in the offer of employment from Inuvi.

Cookies

The Inuvi website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the visitor from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID.

The most common reason cookies are being used would be for tracking, e.g. Google analytics which measures web traffic and browsing from different sources, however this is not currently installed on the site. The technology used as the basis of the Inuvi website creates cookies, but the cookie itself is not used for any purpose whatsoever.

You may, at any time, prevent the creation of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in your web browser, all functions of our website will continue to be usable.

Collection of General Data and Information

The website of Inuvi collects a series of general data and information, when a data subject or an automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. Collected data may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the date and time of access to the website, (4) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (5) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (6) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Inuvi does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide the law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Inuvi analyses these anonymously collected data and information, on one hand, statistically and besides with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise and, ultimately, to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The General Data and Information collected (as outlined above) is stored for a period of one year.

Quick Contact and Sending an E-Mail (e.g. Contact Us and Work with Us sections)

It is possible to send a message using a built-in form on the website (as well as through a standard E-Mail application) with the provisions of personal data. The personal data transmitted to us is determined by the information you entered but at a minimum will include your full name and email address. The personal data is collected and stored exclusively for internal use and specifically for responding to the message and its contents.

By using the contact form, your external IP address and the date / time of when the message was sent is also stored. The storage of this data is a security measure that takes place as a way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. This data is not passed on to third parties, unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data to serve the aim of a criminal prosecution.

We use the data collected when a message is sent to us for responding to the message and its contents. You are free to request a change of the personal data specified within the form at any time, or to have the data completely deleted from our systems.

The information collected as part of our correspondence with the data subject is only stored for as long as it is required to complete the correspondence and satisfy the query.

However, for most other scenarios, data will not be collected or processed without your consent. We always ask for your consent when processing personal data that we have received through our website.

Data security breaches

For website collection issues, the responsibility would lie with Inuvi. Information will be provided regarding the nature of the breach and action being taken. Concurrently to this, Inuvi will notify relevant parties such as the ICO and/or law enforcement agencies to ensure appropriate action is taken, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms.
