Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

While using Our Service, We may ask You to provide Us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify You. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

Usage Data

Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service.

Usage Data may include information such as Your Device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

When You access the Service by or through a mobile device, We may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device You use, Your mobile device unique ID, the IP address of Your mobile device, Your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser You use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

We may also collect information that Your browser sends whenever You visit our Service or when You access the Service by or through a mobile device.

Usage Data may also include information that qualifies you to participate in Health Research Studies.

Health Research Studies

We may partner with Academic Institutions or other Research Centers to help them recruit you for Health Research Studies. We may use Your Usage Data to determine if you qualify for a study but You decide if you would like to participate in the study or not. To enroll in any Studies, you must first review and sign an informed consent and authorization form (if applicable) ("Informed Consent") for the Study. By using our Application, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy and as outlined in the Informed Consent. To the extent anything in this Privacy Policy conflicts with the Informed Consent, the terms of the Informed Consent will control.

Information Collected for Health Research Studies

When you download our Application, below are examples of the categories of information (which may include some personal information) that may be collected from or about You through Our Application ("Study Data"). The specific categories of information that will be collected about You as part of a Health Research Study will be described in the Informed Consent. We use the below information to qualify You for a Health Research Study but the data exchange of the Health Research Study itself is between You and the Researcher. This means that while the Researcher may be able to identify You individually (for example, to compensate You for the study with a gift card), We will only know a total count of number of people who successfully enrolled in the study and analytics around it (For example, number of times We prompted qualified users to participate in the study). Again, even if We show You a banner within the App to participate in the study, You decide if you would like to participate in the study or not. We will never share your health data without your formal consent.

Health Data

We offer an optional premium paid service ("SmartBP Cloud Sync") that allows You to back up your Health Data outside your Device and allows you to access this Health Data on multiple devices, including iOS phones, tablets and Android devices. We do not sell your Health Data. By using our Application, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collected for SmartBP Cloud Sync

Security of Your Health Data

We have implemented reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

Other Information Collected while Using the Application

While using Our Application, in order to provide features of Our Application, We may collect, with your prior permission:
