We will only use and share your Personal Information when directed or requested by you, as necessary for us to operate our business and provide services to you, to comply with legal, regulatory or administrative requirements of governmental authorities, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law. We do not sell, disclose, or share your Personal Information with any Third Parties except as indicated in this Privacy Policy, or with your consent, or as required by law.

Sensitive Information

This refers to credit or debit card numbers, personal financial account information, governmental identification numbers, passport numbers, driver’s licence numbers or similar personal identifiers, racial or ethnic origin, physical or mental health condition or information, or other employment, financial or health information.

Personal information we collect

When You Visit our Website

You are free to explore our Website without providing any personal information about yourself. When you visit our Website, we collect Navigational Information and when you register for our Mobile Application, we request that you provide Personal Information about yourself to create a HeadUp Member Account and to populate your account. 

When You Use our Mobile Application

We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our Mobile Application on your mobile device. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. In addition to information we collect on our Website, when you use our Mobile Application we may also collect your city location, device model and version, device identifier (or “UDID”), OS version, and your HeadUp credentials and Member Account information.

We send push notifications from time to time in order to update you about events or promotions. If you no longer wish to receive such communications, you may turn them off at the device level.

We may link information we store within the analytics software to Personal Information you submit within the Mobile Application. We do this to improve the product and content offering we provide and to improve our marketing, analytics and Mobile Application functionality.

Personal Information collected about you

In order for HeadUp to provide you with our services, We collect both anonymous and Personal Information about you. Personal Information constitutes data that can be used to identify or contact a single person. You are under no obligation to provide any Personal Information to HeadUp at any time.

Your HeadUp Member Account

The information added to your Member Account, either by your providing the information or when a Linked Service adds the information with your permission, is stored and managed on our Service Providers’ servers. This information is then used to provide you with analysis of your data and  personalised insights and recommendations to facilitate greater understanding of your health. HeadUp provides the Member Account to our members for their own personal information needs, and we use it to meet HeadUp’s related needs. 

• For the purposes of your use of the HeadUp Website or your Member Account, Personal Information includes, without being limited to, the following:
• Your contact information, including your first name and last name, phone number, email address, and contact preferences
• Information you provide about your health, fitness, mood, and related wellbeing activities  
• Your gender, height, weight, age, and date of birth
• Linked Service data, such as physical activity, sleep, and heart rate from an external wearable device you link to the HeadUp Mobile Application
• Demographic data, such as your county, suburb, and city
• Additional information you may provide in the course of submitting queries to HeadUp or responding to HeadUp Mobile Application surveys, questionnaires, or other product / market research surveys HeadUp may send you from time to time
• Mobile Application tracking data, such as your device(s) identifiers and IP address

Linked Services

As a HeadUp Member, you are able to connect one or more smart devices, third party data sources or activity trackers to your Member Account. These devices and data sources track, among other things, your steps activity, sleep patterns, heart rate, and other health or related data, as well as self-entered data, such as your height, weight, and age, and calculated or inferred data such as BMI. From this information, HeadUp is able to calculate an overall wellbeing / health score for provided data points and analyse your sleep, activity, heart rate and other health-related patterns to provide you with insights into trends and comparisons against benchmarks.

We will not link your device or third party data source data with the HeadUp Mobile Application without your explicit and informed consent to do so. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting HeadUp and providing notice that you wish to withdraw your consent to this Privacy Policy or you may revoke permissions for the HeadUp Mobile Application from within your device or data source settings.

Depending on the smart device or activity tracker or third party data source you connect, the data we may collect may vary. Typically, the activity tracking, smart device manufacturers or third party data sources have their own specific privacy policies available, which outline what data the device or software collects. We urge you to review the corresponding privacy policy for your device or third party data source to know what specific data points your device or third party data source collects about you.

You may be able to link your Member account to Social Media Sites (“SMS”) accounts such as your Facebook account when using HeadUp Services. By linking your SMS account with your HeadUp account, you permit us to access your information on that SMS. The information we collect from your SMS account may depend on your privacy settings with that SMS, which may enable you to control the information we collect via the SMS account by adjusting your privacy settings on that SMS. You can also de-link your SMS account from HeadUp at any time.

How we use your personal information

We may process your Personal Information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy with your consent, for compliance with a legal obligation to which HeadUp is subject, or when we have assessed it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by HeadUp or a third party to whom it may be necessary to disclose information.

We may use Anonymous Data for internal purposes, such as analysing overall health and Mobile Application usage patterns and preferences to improve our product. Subject to applicable laws and regulations, HeadUp reserves the right to disclose Anonymous Data at its sole discretion.

HeadUp may also combine Non-Personal Information (data which cannot be linked back to you) with Personal Information. In the event of combining this data, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.

Cookies and Other Technologies

HeadUp’s Website, Mobile Application, email messages, and Service Providers may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help HeadUp improve its understanding of Member Account behaviour and tell us which parts of our Website or Mobile Application people have visited and functionality that has been used and personalise and customise content, so that your settings are ‘remembered’ when you log in (for example, knowing your name enables HeadUp to personalise content to you). To the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered Personal Information by local law, we treat these as Personal Information. As is true of most internet services, we also track some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, language settings, browser type Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

If you wish to find out more about cookies and find out how to disable them, you can visit www.aboutcookies.org.uk/.

In some of our email messages, we use pixel tags to inform us whether an email has been opened or not. We may use this information to optimise or reduce future messages sent to customers.

Data Storage and Security of your Personal Information

We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personal Information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your Personal Information. This includes the encryption of your Personal Information in transit via Transport Layer Security (TLS) and at rest, salting and hashing of all passwords, and a range of information security and data privacy policies and procedures within the HeadUp organisation which all relevant staff and contractors must follow. To ensure your Personal Information is secure, we communicate our privacy and security guidelines to all HeadUp employees and contractors and strictly enforce information security and privacy safeguards within the organisation.

We secure the Personal Information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. When your personal data is stored by HeadUp, we use secure third party computer systems with limited access housed in facilities using physical security measures. Personal Information and data uploaded to HeadUp is stored in a secure data centre in the Netherlands operated by our third-party cloud hosting provider, Microsoft Azure (“Azure”).

Disclosure to Third Parties

HeadUp may make certain Personal Information available to Third Parties to enable us to provide you with the Mobile Application or to provide ongoing support or to help HeadUp market to customers or for research purposes. Where HeadUp needs to share your Personal Information with a Third Party, the information we disclose will be limited to the minimum amount necessary to ensure the quality and provision of the services HeadUp provides you. We do not sell or rent your Personal Information to Third Parties.

Service Providers

HeadUp shares Personal Information with designated Third Parties that provide services such as managing Member data, providing customer service, conducting product, research or satisfaction surveys, and sending email to you. These companies are required to protect your Personal Information and may be located wherever HeadUp operates.

Government entities, Agents / Contractors, and Others

It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for HeadUp to disclose your Personal Information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate under warrant or subpoena.

Our policy is to notify you of legal processes seeking access to your information, such as search warrants, court orders, and / or subpoenas, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so. In cases where a court order specifies a non-disclosure period, we provide delayed notice after the expiration of the non-disclosure period. Exceptions to our notice policy include exigent or counterproductive circumstances, for example, when there is an emergency involving a danger of death or serious physical injury to a person.

We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganisation, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

In some instances, HeadUp may disclose your Personal Information with agents or contractors that work on HeadUp’s behalf to assist HeadUp in providing and supporting the services offered. This may include analysing your data or helping HeadUp to communicate important information to you.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

HeadUp does not take any decisions involving the use of algorithms or profiling that significantly affects you.

Retention of your Personal Information

HeadUp retains your Personal Information only for the period necessary to fulfil those purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. When assessing the retention periods for any Personal Information we collect, we review our need to collect Personal Information at all and, subject to establishing a relevant need, only retain Personal Information for the shortest period possible to realise the purpose of collection, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
