We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Maintain and provide you with an effective service
We are able to deliver the services as described in our Terms of Use contract with you. We collect information about your use of our site including details of your visits such as pages viewed and the resources that you access. Such information includes traffic data, location data and other communication data.
We use technology to collect information indirectly - such as your IP address and mobile device identifier and how much time you spend on the site. This is commonplace across all internet services to enable the investigation of issues such as malicious use. This information is then kept in our internet access logs.
We collect information directly from you in a number of ways. One way is by using cookies. Cookies are small data files that save and retrieve information about your visit to our website, such as how you entered our website, how you navigated through the website and what information was of interest to you. This information is collected for a number of reasons, for example, to help develop the website and associated services.
The cookies we use identify you as a number. If you are not comfortable about the use of cookies, you can disable them by changing the settings in the preferences or options menu in your internet browser. Disabling cookies, however, may affect our ability to provide services to you. If certain cookies are disabled you may not be able to access the service. See our Cookie Policy for more information on the cookies we use. Site features include storing whether to show or hide the accessibility bar.
Data is collected when you perform an assessment through the website. This is collected in order to provide healthcare related guidance and matching to advice, equipment, information and/or services. It can include, your Instrumental Activities of Daily Living capabilities, your record of performing the recommended activities and any answers to questions to support the matching of solutions to your needs for a given area of interest such as struggling to get up and down from the bottom of the bath.
Ensuring the best possible experience for the service we use data about you and your use of our service and the LifeCurve™, to improve and develop a better solution; to improve how you get to the advice faster; to drive our research and development; and to better understand our users and how they are ageing. We also send you surveys about our services, which are voluntary to complete. The use of this data is necessary to ensure our interests in improving the tools, LifeCurve™ and platform available to our users through better technology, user design and communications.
We never use your identifiable personal data to support the ethical research into ageing and improving healthy ageing for others. However, we do use your anonymised data for this purpose.
Communicate with you
We use your information when we need to send you service notifications and respond to you when you contact us. We also use your information to promote new features or products that we think you would be interested in. We would never user your email address for marketing purposes by third parties.
Promote security and safety
We use the information we collect to promote the safety and security of the services, our users, and other parties. For example, we may use the information to authenticate users, protect against fraud and abuse, respond to a legal request or claim, conduct audits, and enforce our terms and policies.
