Mobile App Privacy Policy

Overview

Who we are

We are Huma Therapeutics Limited, the owner and provider of a healthcare platform which facilitates the collection and integration of patient data from medical databases and patient devices, which may be accessed by healthcare professionals and organisations.

Huma Therapeutics Limited may hereinafter also be referred to as “Huma”. All references in this policy to "Company", "our", "us" or "we" refer to Huma Therapeutics Limited (formerly Medopad Limited), or our group companies, as appropriate. All references in this policy to "our website," refer to the website owned by us at www.huma.com (formerly www.medopad.com).

Our company number is 07725451 and our registered office is 13th Floor Millbank Tower, 21-24 Millbank, London, England, SW1P 4QP.

Our values and what this policy is for

Huma respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. We value being fair, transparent, and accountable to you in relation to the way that we collect and use your personal information. In line with these values, this privacy policy tells you what to expect when we collect and use personal information about you. Huma does not sell personal information.

Any information that we refer to as "personal information" throughout this policy also constitutes “Personal Data.” Personal Data means any information about an individual by which that person is identified or from which that person can be identified by some means (for example, by combining the data set we hold with a different data set). It does not include data which is not identifiable (such as anonymous data or non-attributable inferences derived from aggregate data).

We are always looking to improve the information we provide to our customers and contacts so if you have any feedback on this privacy policy, please let us know using our contact details in Section 8.

Quick links

Depending on our relationship with you, we may collect and use your Personal Data in different ways. Please click on the links to find out the information that is relevant to you.

Legal basis for use of your Personal Data

Depending on our relationship with you, we may collect and use your Personal Data in different ways. The legal bases for using your personal information as set out in this privacy policy are as follows:

If we rely on our (or another person's) legitimate interests for using your personal information, we will undertake a balancing test to ensure that our (or the other person's) legitimate interests are not outweighed by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of the personal information. You can ask us for information on this balancing test by using the contact details in Section 8.

We may process your personal information in some cases for marketing purposes on the basis of your consent (which you may withdraw at any time after giving it, as described below).

If we rely on your consent for us to use your personal information in a particular way, but you later change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by contacting us at privacy@huma.com and we will stop doing so.

However, if you withdraw your consent, this may impact the ability for us to be able to provide the Huma app and platform and associated services to you, such as providing our services to you or performing contractual and other legal obligations that we have to you. In these circumstances, if you do not provide us with such personal information, withdraw consent or ask us to delete your information, you may no longer be able to access Huma app and/or platform for receipt of the Huma services. Where you choose to withdraw consent, this action does not impact data lawfully collected prior to your withdrawal.

Retention (How long we store your personal information)

We keep your personal information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the personal information is processed. The length of time for which we retain personal information depends on the purposes for which we collect and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws and to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights. We shall only retain your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, multiple factors may be considered including:

The data collected and processed within the scope of contractual relationships with us will be deleted upon completion of your request, if necessary after the expiry of contractual warranty and/or liability periods as well as statutory retention periods.

Insofar as the processing of Personal Data is based on your consent, we will delete this data if you revoke your consent to us. We will delete the data collected and processed in the context of our correspondence upon completion of your request, unless we have a legal retention obligation to observe.

Where you choose to take part in research, we will retain your personal information in line with the duration of the study or research initiative, as required to meet a contractual obligation, legal obligation, or until you withdraw your consent.

We may retain your Personal Data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

6. Risks and how we keep your personal information secure

The main risk of our processing of your personal information is if it is lost, stolen or misused. This could lead to your personal information being in the hands of someone else who may use it fraudulently or make public information that you would prefer to keep private.

Huma is committed to protecting your personal information from loss, theft and misuse.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Access to your information is limited in accordance with our agreement with your Healthcare Provider.

In the course of provision of your personal information to us, your personal information may be transferred over the internet. Although we make every effort to protect the personal information which you provide to us, the transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure. Please keep that in mind when providing data to us using the Internet. Once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorized access to it.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access your online account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
