Medability App – Privacy Policy

1. Introduction 

1.1 Welcome to  Medability APP (the „APP„), operated by Medability GmbH (“Company”, “we” “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data in connection with your use of the APP. 

1.2 Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable living person. Personal data that has been anonymized in such a way that the data subject cannot be identified or can no longer be identified (anonymous data) is no longer considered personal data. 

1.3 We may need to amend or update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Therefore, please read this Privacy Policy at regular intervals.

4. Data Sharing 

4.1 We may transfer your personal data to third party recipients, such as

4.1.1 (only upon customer’s activation and with your consent) our customer, whose license you use to access the app, if it has requested to receive Usage Information

4.1.2 service providers for the operation of APP (e.g., hosting or service providers for data centre services, payment processing or IT security companies),

4.1.3 consultants and service providers as independent controllers or joint controllers (e.g., insurance companies or accounting service providers),

4.1.4 persons who are subject to professional secrecy or are obligated to maintain confidentiality, for example lawyers, tax consultants, and auditors,

4.1.5 government agencies/authorities, to the extent deemed necessary to comply with legal obligations,

4.1.6 recipients in the course of any reorganisations, mergers, disposals or other transfers of assets. We will ensure that the recipient of your personal data agrees to handle it in a manner that complies with applicable data protection law and is compatible with the original purposes of the processing. We continue to ensure the confidentiality of your personal data and inform you about the transfer to another controller.

4.2 Where we use third party service providers (including processors), these third parties are subject to contractual obligations (e.g., a data processing agreement). These processors will only process your personal data in accordance with our prior written instructions and must take measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal data. 

5. Transfers of Data outside the EU/EEA

5.1 Due to the international nature of our business, it may be necessary for us to transfer your personal data to our affiliated companies within the meaning of Section 15 et seqq. German Stock Corporation Act (“Company Affiliates”) and/or to third parties outside the European Union (EU) and/or the European Economic Area (EEA) (“Third Countries”). Third Countries may have different laws and data protection compliance requirements than the country in which you are located and may not have the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) level of data protection. This can mean disadvantages such as an impeded enforcement of data subjects’ rights, a lack of control over further processing and access by state authorities. You may only have very limited legal remedies against this. 

5.2 Insofar as we transfer your personal data from the EU/EEA to Third Countries that are not covered by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, we achieve an adequate level of data protection by concluding standard contractual clauses of the European Commission or by means of binding corporate rules of our business partners and supplement these transfer mechanisms with further contractual, technical and organisational measures if necessary. Please contact our data protection officer to obtain a copy of transfer mechanisms.

6. Are you obligated to provide your personal data?

In principle, you are not obliged to provide your personal data. However, if you do not provide your personal data, we may only be able to provide you with limited services or not answer your enquiries. If the processing of your personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract between you and us and you do not provide the required information, we may discontinue our contractual services. In this case, we will notify you in advance.

7. Duration of the processing

7.1 We will only process your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the above purposes. We retain Usage Data for 13 month and other data until deactivation of the license. We will delete or anonymise your personal data as soon after that period, unless we have no legal basis to further store your personal data. 

7.2 For example, the retention period may be extended if we are subject to statutory retention and documentation obligations (for Germany these are up to ten years). The retention period may also be based on the statutory limitation periods (for Germany this is up to thirty years, with the regular limitation period being three years). In certain circumstances, we may also need to store your personal data for longer, e.g., in connection with authority or legal proceedings. 

7.3 Regarding the use and retention period of cookies, please note Section 10.

8. Security Measures 

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
