Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. It is Pletly AS' policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including via our app, Pletly Pal, and its associated services.

Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as a person (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use an app or online service.

In the event our app contains links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their posted privacy policy information about how they collect and use personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our app.

This policy is effective as of 18 July 2022.

Last updated: 18 July 2022

Information We Collect

Information we collect falls into one of two categories: “voluntarily provided” information and “automatically collected” information.

“Voluntarily provided” information refers to any information you knowingly and actively provide us when using our app and its associated services.

“Automatically collected” information refers to any information automatically sent by your device in the course of accessing our app and its associated services.

Log Data

When you access our servers via our app, we may automatically log the standard data provided by your device. It may include your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, your device type and version, your activity within the app, time and date, and other details about your usage.

Additionally, when you encounter certain errors while using the app, we automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information relating to the problem. You may or may not receive notice of such errors, even in the moment they occur, that they have occurred, or what the nature of the error is.

Please be aware that while this information may not be personally identifying by itself, it may be possible to combine it with other data to personally identify individual persons.

Personal Information

We may ask for personal information — for example, when you submit content to us or when you contact us — which may include one or more of the following:

• Name

• Email

• Phone/mobile number

Data safety and security

As a communication and coordination platform dedicated to facilitating the care of care recipients among caregivers, we understand the sensitive nature of the information exchanged on our platform for both caregivers and care recipients. We prioritize the safety and security of all users' data by employing rigorous access controls and strict data handling protocols.

Our team continually updates and monitors our security measures to ensure that the personal information and user-generated content of caregivers and care recipients remain protected from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We are committed to providing a secure environment where caregivers can confidently communicate and coordinate the care of care recipients, with peace of mind, knowing that the data of all parties involved is safeguarded.

Sensitive Information

“Sensitive information” or “special categories of data” is a subset of personal information that is given a higher level of protection. Examples of sensitive information include information relating to your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion, trade union or other professional associations or memberships, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, sexual practices or sex life, criminal records, health information, or biometric information.

The types of sensitive information that we may collect about you include:

• Health information (only when voluntarily provided by you)

Please note that we only collect health information when you, the user, voluntarily and explicitly choose to add such information to our platform. We are fully HIPAA compliant and adhere to strict guidelines for handling health data in accordance with applicable privacy regulations. By maintaining HIPAA compliance, we ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all protected health information (PHI) that is processed, stored, or transmitted on our platform.

We will not collect sensitive information about you without first obtaining your consent, and we will only use or disclose your sensitive information as permitted, required, or authorized by law.

User-Generated Content

We define “user-generated content” as materials (text, image and/or video content) voluntarily provided by our users for the purpose of sharing on our platform. All user-generated content is associated with the account or email address used to submit the materials.

Please note that any content you submit will be accessible only to pre-vetted users, as determined by you. You have control over the audience for your content, and it will not be publicly available by default. The availability of your content to third parties not covered under this privacy policy will be contingent upon your explicit consent and sharing preferences.

Legitimate Reasons for Processing Your Personal Information

We only collect and use your personal information when we have a legitimate reason for doing so. In which instance, we only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to provide our services to you.

Collection and Use of Information

We may collect personal information from you when you do any of the following on our website:

• Register for an account

• Use a mobile device or web browser to access our content

• Contact us via email, social media, or on any similar technologies

• When you mention us on social media

We may collect, hold, use, and disclose information for the following purposes, and personal information will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with these purposes:

• to provide you with our app and platform's core features and services

• for analytics, market research, and business development, including to operate and improve our app, associated applications, and associated social media platforms

• to enable you to access and use our app, associated platforms, and associated social media channels

• for technical assessment, including to operate and improve our app, associated applications, and associated social media platforms

We may combine voluntarily provided and automatically collected personal information with general information or research data we receive from other trusted sources. For example, If you consent to us accessing your social media profiles, we may combine information sourced from those profiles with information received from you directly to provide you with an enhanced experience of our app and services.

Security of Your Personal Information

When we collect and process personal information, and while we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.

Although we will do our best to protect the personal information you provide to us, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and no one can guarantee absolute data security.

You are responsible for selecting any password and its overall security strength, ensuring the security of your own information within the bounds of our services. For example, ensuring any passwords associated with accessing your personal information and accounts are secure and confidential.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We keep your personal information only for as long as we need to. This time period may depend on what we are using your information for, in accordance with this privacy policy. For example, if you have provided us with personal information as part of creating an account with us, we may retain this information for the duration your account exists on our system. If your personal information is no longer required for this purpose, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.

However, if necessary, we may retain your personal information for our compliance with a legal, accounting, or reporting obligation or for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific, or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.

Children’s Privacy

We do not aim any of our products or services directly at children under the age of 13 as caregivers, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under 13 who act as caregivers.

However, please be aware that if the care recipient is under the age of 13, their personal information may be added to our platform by a caregiver for the purpose of providing proper care and coordination. In such cases, we handle the personal information of the care recipient under 13 with the utmost care and in accordance with applicable privacy regulations.
