Our Privacy Principles

CHUDATS and the Heal Coins service are committed to putting its users first and believe you should know what data we collect about you, why we collect it, and how we use and share it. That’s why we have drafted this privacy policy to give you simple, clear, and actionable information about our privacy and data protection practices.

Information We Collect

The personal and health-related institutional information we collect for our platforms and their services falls into three general categories:

• Information you provide to us
• Information collected automatically
• Information we obtain from third parties

Information You Provide

We ask for and collect your personal information or that of your representative when you apply to use and when you are already using our services.

The information requested includes, at the individual level: your full name, national identification and/or official duty status, your age, payment method and verification information, and your full address, depending on the level of service you have opted to use. At the health institutional level, we collect: the health structure or institution’s name, its legal status, physical location, geo-location, additional service usage payment method, and banking details.

This information is necessary for us to comply with the subscribed health structures or units as well as with government policies for citizenship identification and legal existential requisite obligations.

We process this information in light of our legitimate interest in improving our platforms and giving our users the best experience, and where it is necessary for the adequate performance of any contract between us and you, including but not limited to the Terms and Conditions. Without it, we may not be able to provide you with all the requested services and features of our site.

Survey Information: If you participate in any survey, you may provide certain personal data as part of your response, unless you respond anonymously.

Information We Collect Automatically

There is certain information that we collect automatically as a result of your use of our platforms. This generally includes:

• Usage Information: We collect information about your interactions with our site and other CHUDATS platforms; including the pages that you visit and links you click on, posting a comment, making donations, performing a search, and the time, frequency, and duration of your visits to our platforms.
• Log Data: We automatically collect log information when you use our site, even if you have not signed up for an account or logged in. That information includes, among other things, details about how you’ve used our platforms (including links to third-party sites or services), your Internet Protocol (IP) address, access times, your browser type and operating system, device information, device event information (e.g., crashes, browser type), and the page you’ve viewed or engaged with before or after using our site.
• Device Information: We collect information from and about the devices you use, including how you interact with on our site and the information about the device itself, such as the hardware model, operating system, IP addresses, cookie information, device settings, mobile carrier information, mobile device and advertising identifiers, apps installed, browser type, language, battery level, and time zone. Apple’s iOS Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and Google’s Android Advertising ID are examples of device identifiers. This information allows us to recognise and associate your activity and provide personalised content for further needs, consistently across all of your devices.

How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect from you, including with the help of automated systems and decision-making, for a range of different business purposes according to different legal bases of processing and subject to the ways you use your account, which assists us to:

1 ) Provide, improve, and develop our platforms

- Enable restrictions according to age limits.

- Process health data, statistics, and calculations at various levels..

- Conduct surveys and research, test features in development, and analyse the information we have to evaluate and improve our services, develop new features, and conduct audits and troubleshooting activities.

2) Maintain a safe and secure environment

We process this information based on your consent.

- To improve your experience on our platforms by providing personalised service objectives, content, recommendations, and features.

- Administer sweepstakes, contests, or other promotional activities or events sponsored or managed by CHUDATS or its partners.

- Ads and emergency health assistance notifications are more effective when they are shown to people who are likely to be interested in the product or service advertised or the humanitarian situation in question. For this reason, we use the information we collect and receive to help us select which ads or notifications to show you on behalf of your needs. This includes information you choose to provide to us (e.g., age and gender) and make available to us when you interact with our platforms. We may also display ads based on the page you’re on or content you have recently viewed or searched. This allows us to show you notifications that will likely be more relevant and interesting to you.

- When we engage third-party services such as ad networks and exchanges that enable us to show you targeted ads, we may also allow them to collect certain information, such as cookie data and device information. That information is used to synch or match users to segments and serve targeted advertising, including based on device activity, inferred interests, and general location information. We act based on your consent as an agreed user, or that which you may revisit at all times in your settings, where and when available.

Sharing of Your Information

This section describes how the information collected or generated while using our site may be shared, either by you or by us.

• With your consent, we may disclose your information if you have agreed that we may do so according to our Terms and Conditions.
• Humanitarian aid notification purposes and advertising: We share the data collected about you, generally in hashed, aggregated, or de-identified forms, with humanitarian aid-seeking and giving agencies. We also share your information with advertisers, advertising service providers, and business partners in order to serve ads based on your interests and measure the reach and effectiveness of those ads, including whether a user took an action (e.g., commented on further interest needs). We may also share cookie
• data and device identifiers with service providers for data-matching purposes in order to improve results-oriented targeting.
• Aggregated data: We may also share aggregated information (information about our users that we render in such a way that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and other pseudo-information for regulatory compliance, industry and market analysis, demographic profiling, marketing, and advertising, and other healthcare humanitarian needs advancement purposes.
• Third-party applications: If you choose to connect your Heal Coins or CHUDATS account, as well as any of its derivative subdomain accounts, to other apps or social networks, such as Facebook, you may be sharing certain information with these apps or networks. We are not responsible for these other apps or networks, so please make sure you only connect your account with apps or services that you trust.
• Compliance with Laws: We may disclose your information to courts, law enforcement agencies, and governmental authorities (i) to comply with our legal obligations, (ii) to comply with legal process and to respond to claims asserted against us, (iii) to respond to verified requests relating to a criminal investigation or alleged or suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other of our users to legal liability, (iv) to enforce and administer our Terms of Usage and other agreements with users, or (v) to protect the rights, property, strategic safety of the Heal Coins, or CHUDATS, its employees, and members of the public.
• Protecting our Rights: We may disclose your information if we feel this is necessary in order to protect or defend our legitimate rights and interests, or those of our users, employees, directors, officers, or shareholders, and/or to ensure the safety and security of our site and/or the entire CHUDATS working group.
• To our affiliates: We may share your personal information within the CHUDATS Working Group in order to make provisions for our platforms and for any other purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
• Change of Control: We may also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger, or change in control of Heal Coins or CHUDATS in general, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity that buys us or become part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this privacy policy, unless you agree otherwise.

Information Security

CHUDATS maintains appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards that are designed to prevent unauthorised access, use, or disclosure of the personal information we collect or store. This is also to ensure a level of security appropriate to the diverse risks and their severity over the rights and freedoms of natural persons that may be involved with our processing operations. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, it is not possible to guarantee the security of information transmitted over the Internet. You use our platforms and provide us with information at your own discretion and risk.

Children

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from any person who is under the age of 12, as the case may be, or allow them to register or make payments on our platforms. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data from a person under the age of 12, as applicable, we may delete this information as quickly as possible. If you have reason to believe that we may have collected any such personal data, please notify us immediately at issues@healcoins.net

However, with consent from legal parents or guardians, children as young as birth can establish unique patient identification codes instituted at the level of the subscribed health unit or structure, thereby automatically apportioning the HCW, which they may use throughout their life span. This does not derogate from the below 12year-old CHUDATS system user guard that prevents 12year-old and below children from making undue or unauthorised payments in the system.

Data Management

Change or correct data

Updating of data within CHUDATS is prioritised at the level of the individually subscribed health units or structures, whereby personnel are granted privileges to input and update patient healthcare or medical records, patient health credits, and, as well, the health structure’s EMR and EHR.

At the simple user level, either at the web portal or mobile app level, when and where you cannot update data yourself through an account, you have the right to ask us to correct, change, update, or rectify your data

Data retention and deletion

• We generally retain data for as long as is necessary to provide services to you under your account or for as long as is necessary to provide our platforms to you as a registered or unregistered user.
• You have the right to ask us to delete all or some of the personal data we hold about you. If you have an account, you may also delete your account through the settings at any time as described, if such an option has been provided.
• We may need to retain some of your personal data even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (e.g., under applicable tax or commercial law, to prevent fraud and abuse, and to maintain and enhance security). Afterward, we delete the data immediately, unless we need the data until the expiry of the statutory period of limitation for the purpose of providing evidence for civil law claims or because of statutory storage obligations (e.g., for accounting reasons).
