We use the information we collect from Clients to answer your inquiries and to provide the Services to you.

How we may share personal information

We share personal information with our service providers on a confidential basis in order for them to provide services to us, to you, and to enable us to provide the Services:

  • Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) provides servers in the United States (U.S.) and Germany that store all personal information collected from you
  • The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a Mailchimp, located in the U.S., helps us manage email communications
  • Stefanini Group, located in the U.S., Belgium, Romania, China, Poland, and the Philippines, helps us manage support tickets

  • Splunk, Inc., located in Germany and the U.S., and Sisense, Ltd., located in Germany and the U.S., help us analyze and provide performance reports about the personal information

At the direction of our Clients, we share personal information with hospitals and clinics who provide services on behalf of our Clients.

We may share personal information with government and/or law enforcement agencies to the extent we believe it necessary to comply with the law, such as in response to a subpoena or court order, to defend a legal claim or establish or protect our legal rights or otherwise as permitted by applicable law.  We commit to review the legality of any subpoena or court order to disclose data, to challenge the subpoena or court order if, after a careful assessment, we conclude that there are grounds to do so, to seek interim measures to suspend the effects of the subpoena or court order until the court has decided on the merits, to not disclose the personal data requested until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules, and to provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to the subpoena or court order, based on a reasonable interpretation of the subpoena or court order.  The information shared depends on what is sought by the subpoena or court order.  

We may disclose personal information in our possession in the event we believe it necessary or appropriate to prevent criminal activity, personal injury, property damage or bodily harm. The personal information disclosed depends on the circumstances.

We may transfer your information to a successor in interest, which may include but may not be limited to a third-party in the event of an acquisition, sale, asset sale, merger or bankruptcy.  The policies applicable to your information thereafter may be determined by the transferee, unless otherwise prohibited by law.  The personal information transferred would consist of the personal information collected as described above.

Any third-party with whom we share your information will provide the same or equal protection of your information as stated in the Policy and as required by the Apple App Guidelines.

Where we store and process personal data

We store the information we collect from you on servers provided by AWS in the U.S. and the European Union (EU).  For testing purposes, the information we collect from you may also be stored on desktop and laptop computers used by our employees in the U.S.  The information we collect from you in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland may be transferred from and kept outside the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland because our operations and some of our servers are located in the U.S.  We enter into Standard Contractual Clauses in order to transfer your information outside the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland.  We have withdrawn from the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use and retention of personal information transferred from the EEA and Switzerland to the U.S.; we will continue to apply the Privacy Shield Principles to personal information that we received while participating in the Privacy Shield Frameworks.  To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

How long we may keep your personal data

We may keep your information for as long as we have to by law.  If there is no contradictory legal requirement, we will only keep it for as long as we need it to perform the Services.  We may also keep your information for a reasonable period of time.  For example, where U.S. law applies, and where required by U.S. law, we retain covered protected health information for 7.5 years or as otherwise required or permitted by law, and where the International Conference on Harmonization Guidelines for Industry Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports apply, clinical research study data are retained for a period of 25 years as of completion of the Services or longer as required by local law.
