Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
How System Think Van LLC handles consumer health data in HGRS, and how to use your rights under Washington's My Health My Data Act.
What we collect, and where it comes from
For each day of a challenge you join, and only after you agree on its consent screen: your daily step total, the time you reached the daily goal, how many steps each app or device recorded, and whether a day was flagged for review. It comes from Apple Health on your iPhone, which holds what your iPhone, your watch or ring and the apps you allow recorded. We collect nothing for a challenge you have not joined, and no step data when you only use HGRS to see your own steps. The daily goal you set for yourself is kept with your account and seen by nobody else (the privacy policy).
Why
To keep score in the challenges you join: your group's board, your entries and the names picked at the end, or, in a Most steps challenge, your total and the final standings. The daily goal you set for yourself is kept only to show you your own progress against it, on every iPhone you sign in on, and no challenge reads it. Nothing else: never advertising, never profiling, and never sold.
Who it is shared with
- The members of the group: your daily totals, the time you reached the goal, your entry count and when your app last synced, and, in a Most steps challenge, your total and place.
- The challenge's organizer: also how many steps each app or device recorded, and flagged days.
- Our processors: Amazon Web Services, which stores the data and runs the service, and Apple's push notification service, which delivers notifications. They use it only to provide their service to us.
Your consent on each challenge's consent screen is what lets us collect and share it there. Your daily goal is kept because you set it, so no challenge's consent applies to it. We do not sell consumer health data.
Your rights
- Confirm and access: ask us whether we hold consumer health data about you, and for a copy of it with the list of everyone we shared it with.
- Withdraw consent: leave the challenge, or the group, in the app. Sharing stops at once.
- Delete: delete your account in the app (how), or ask us to. Deleted data leaves our backups within 35 days, and our processors keep none of it after that.
