This data will also be automatically analyzed with our algorithms together with other information that you have entered to be able to predict deteriorations in your health condition and provide you with preventive support in your self-care.

Information collected if your healthcare provider enters it
Your healthcare provider has the option to help you complete your information in your secure ImagineCare account by entering information for you when you have contact via text messages, phone or video calls. The care provider must then inform you of which data will be entered, so that you can consent to this data being saved. If you want to delete or change information that your healthcare provider has entered, you can easily contact our customer service or your healthcare provider. We ask that you also read through your healthcare provider's personal data and patient data policy to inform you about how your healthcare provider processes your personal data.

3. Why and on what legal basis your personal data is processed 

ImagineCare is a service that makes it possible to measure and store your own health data to facilitate self-care. Health data is automatically analyzed so that deteriorations in health status can be identified early. In addition, ImagineCare facilitates and personalizes contact with regular care providers.

We handle your personal data partly to be able to fulfill our agreement with you, but also with your consent to facilitate your self-care. In some cases, we process your personal data to protect vital interests or to fulfill a legal obligation. We process your personal data for the following purposes divided by legal basis for processing:



Your consent to treatment

Personal data processing to fulfill our agreement with you

According to the user agreement, we undertake to provide you with a secure account in ImagineCare, a mobile application and accompanying measuring devices. We therefore process personal data with agreements as a legal basis to be able to register you in the ImagineCare system and to be able to send you measuring devices. We also process your personal data to be able to provide you with support if something does not work with the ImagineCare system, to be able to contact you in the event of technical problems or new versions of ImagineCare, or if you want more services or measuring devices from us, to evaluate security and usability and to enforce the Terms of Use, including investigating potential violations. We may contact you by email, letter or phone to inform you of updates or new features, provide information about operational disruptions, investigate the use of ImagineCare or provide general information about the ImagineCare services. In this case, we will only process your contact details (email, telephone or address) and will not do any further processing of your other details. You then always have the option to refuse to receive such information in the future. We will never contact you for marketing and we will not share your personal data with any other actor for these purposes without your direct consent.

Personal data processing that takes place with your consent
With your express consent, we can process your personal data for the following purposes. Processing with your consent that is necessary for us to deliver the ImagineCare service to you: We process your health-related personal data so that you can measure and store your health data. We also automatically process the health data you enter or measure by analyzing it in our algorithms. The purpose is to be able to give you notices if your health values are outside of normal values, to be able to give you feedback on how your values change and to be able to adapt your ImagineCare application to your health situation and your preferences.

We automatically process your personal data in order to be able to share this with the healthcare provider from whom you receive ImagineCare when your health values exceed predefined thresholds or when you or your healthcare provider make contact with each other.

Processing with your consent, which is completely voluntary:
If we have your consent, in some cases we also process your personal data de-identified in order to be able to improve the ImagineCare application and to be able to develop new services. This means that we de-identify your data so that it cannot be traced back to you and then compile statistics to better understand how ImagineCare services can be improved. For example, the automatic analyzes or the user experience can be improved for a patient group such as all people with high blood pressure or diabetes. In such cases, your data is always analyzed de-identified. When your personal information is de-identified, we can also aggregate the results at a group level for all patients for whom your provider has provided access to ImagineCare, so that the provider can improve the use of ImagineCare. We never share your personal data with any other actor without your direct consent.

Personal data processing based on balance of interests
As ImagineCare is a medical device, we as a manufacturer have a responsibility to monitor the safety of the parts of ImagineCare that are used to support self-care. We may therefore process the part of your personal data that may be important for health and self-care. The purpose is then to follow up the security of the ImagineCare application in cases where we judge it to be of importance in order to be able to preserve and guarantee the security of you and other users of the platform.

We also process the personal data you provide when you register for and use ImagineCare to anonymously compile statistics on the use of ImagineCare for the healthcare provider who offers ImagineCare to you. It includes information about the number of users, the number of active users and similar statistics at the group level.

Personal data processing that is necessary to protect vital interests 
If there is reasonable reason to believe that there is a major threat to your life, safety or health, we may in some cases process your personal data without your consent in order to, for example, contact a healthcare provider, the emergency services , SOS Alarm, the police authority or the fire brigade. We always notify you in cases where we carry out such processing.

Other processing of personal data
If we would like to process your personal data in any way other than what is described in this personal data policy, we need your express consent. In such cases, you will receive an updated personal data policy with an opportunity to accept or decline such processing. This also applies to being able to share sensitive personal data with other individuals or organizations in addition to what is described in this personal data policy. An example of when this could be relevant is if you are asked to participate in a research study. In such cases, you will be given a description of the research project and will then have the opportunity to accept or decline participation.

Withdrawal of consent
In this case, you can notify us at any time that you wish to withdraw your consent. In such case, no further processing of personal data about you will take place and your personal data will be deleted.

How you can get access to all your personal data
You always have access to most of the personal data you entered yourself in the ImagineCare application. If you want to receive all the data that is stored about you, you have the right to get this free of charge. You then receive it in a structured and machine-readable format that is considered the industry standard. You also have the right to have the data transferred to another personal data controller when it is technically possible.

How you can correct and delete your personal data 

You always have the right at any time to request that we correct, supplement or delete personal data that is incorrect, incomplete or misleading. We can also do this on our own initiative.

7. Security level for protection of your personal data


Your privacy and security is very important to us. We therefore use the physical, technical and administrative security measures and safeguards that meet industry standards to protect your personal data in the best possible way. For example, your data is always stored encrypted and all data transmission via chat or video in the application is also encrypted. However, because the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot fully guarantee the security of the information you transmit to us. There is also no absolute guarantee that information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed through a breach of any of our physical or technical safeguards.

It is very important that you protect your login information and never share it in any way. Please also remember that regular e-mails and regular mail you otherwise send to us are not encrypted, as are regular telephone calls, and we strongly recommend that you do not communicate any confidential information in these ways.

8. How your personal data is handled in the event of legal proceedings


If we receive an order from a court, authority or similar to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we may process and share your personal data, if it is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes or enforceable authority decisions. Examples of such handling could be if we or the care provider become the subject of an audit by an authority such as the National Board of Health and Welfare or the Medical Products Agency. In such cases, we will do everything we can to ensure that the handling takes place in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and that your personal data is handled correctly.

9. Changes to the personal data policy


We are constantly working to improve the services we offer you. We may therefore need to update this personal data policy. If the changes involve a change, we will contact you via the email you have registered in your ImagineCare account. By continuing to use ImagineCare, you then approve the updates that are made. If you then do not agree to the changes, you have the option to terminate your ImagineCare account.

If we should make any change that means that your personal data is processed or shared in some new way where your consent is necessary for the processing, we will obtain your consent before this processing is carried out. We will never weaken your rights under this privacy policy without your express consent or make any changes that are contrary to applicable law. Minor changes that are only linguistic or otherwise do not involve any change in our processing of your personal data can be made without special notification. We always keep previous versions of this privacy policy in an archive if you want to review any changes.
