SleepCheck Privacy Policy

ResApp Health Ltd (“ResApp Health”, “we”, “our” or “us”) located at Level 12, 100 Creek Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, 4000 provides the SleepCheck mobile application* (“mobile application”) and the SleepCheck website, https://sleepcheckapp.com (“website” and, together with the mobile application, the “services”).

This Privacy Notice (also, the “Notice”) describes our practices in connection with information that we, or our service providers, collect or process through the services operated and controlled by the mobile application, about visitors to the website and users of the mobile application and our services (“you,” “your,” “users”). We will handle your personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, including binding regulations and privacy principles under local law.

References to ‘personal information’ in this Privacy Notice refers to information that may reasonably be used to identify you, including any information that qualifies as ‘personal information’ or a similar term under applicable law.

*The mobile application is not a diagnostic device. It is for adults over age 18. Once installed and launched on a compatible smart device, it measures and analyses breathing and snoring sounds during sleep, using the device’s inbuilt microphone. The application then analyzes breathing and snoring sounds to help detect the presence and severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (“OSA”).


1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect personal information about you from various sources.

Personal information we collect directly from you

We may directly collect the following categories of personal information from you prior to or during your use of the services:

  • Personal details, such as your gender, age, and neck size.

  • Recordings of your breathing and snoring sounds, which we collect using your device’s inbuilt microphone during your sleep.

  • Service usage information, such as order and browsing histories, information about your usage of our services, or other consumption histories or tendencies.

  • Communications, such as when you contact us with a question, comment, or request, or participate in other activities with us.


Other information we generate

The mobile application records and analyses the user’s breathing and snoring sounds during sleep, using the device’s inbuilt microphone. The mobile application then conducts an analysis of those breathing and snoring sounds to infer the duration of your sleep sessions and help detect the presence and severity of OSA. After the analysis is conducted, the user’s breathing/snoring sounds are deleted.


Special categories of personal information

Some of the categories of information that we process may include special categories of personal information (also known as ‘sensitive information’). In particular, the breathing and snoring sounds that are recorded on the user’s device, and the related inferences about your sleep, are used to help detect the presence and severity of OSA. However, the breathing and snoring sounds are only used to conduct the analysis to help detect the presence and severity of OSA and the recording is subsequently deleted. Where required by local law, we will only collect your sensitive information with your consent, and only if it is reasonably necessary for one of our functions or activities.


Information we may automatically collect about you

We may collect personal information about you automatically through the use of cookies on the website, tokens within the mobile application, and similar technologies. You may limit our ability to automatically collect certain types of personal information by adjusting the cookie settings on your web browsers or by adjusting your preferences within the mobile application or your mobile device settings. If you choose to reject cookies or the collection of certain personal information, you may still use our services, though your access to some functionality may be restricted.

Detailed information on the Cookies and Tracking Technologies we use and the purposes for which we use them are provided set out in our Cookies Policy.


The categories of personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies include:

  • Identifiers, such as unique device identifiers, online identifiers, IP address, or other persistent identifiers;

  • Location data, meaning information about where you access our services from.

  • Data about your device, such as your screen resolution, operating system, device manufacturer and model, and language.

  • Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as browsing history, search history, device status and sensor data, or information regarding your interaction with any websites, applications, or devices associated with the website and mobile application. This may include content viewed, features used and the dates and times of your interactions.

  • Analytics. We may draw inferences from any of your personal information to create a profile about you, which may reflect your preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, abilities, and aptitudes.


Unsolicited personal information

If we receive unsolicited personal information about you that we are not otherwise permitted to collect under local law, we will, as soon as practicable (if it is lawful and reasonable to do so), destroy the information or ensure that it is de-identified.

If you are using the services from the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you may be entitled to exercise the following rights in accordance with local laws:

  • Right to access personal information. When you ask to access your personal information, we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request; however, we may not be able to provide you to access to personal information where an exemption to this right applies under the local law. In such cases, we will provide you with a reasonable explanation of why it is not possible to grant access to your personal information.

5. INFORMATION SECURITY

We take steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. We implement technical and organisational measures designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk to the personal information we process through the services. These measures are aimed at providing ongoing integrity and confidentiality for your personal information. We evaluate these measures on a regular basis. However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, devices, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.


6. HOW LONG WILL WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

ResApp Health will retain your personal information only for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Notice.

We will retain your personal information for as long as needed (or permitted) in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the service to you; (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject; and (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations, or to enable us to defend or bring any existing or potential legal claims); whether keeping data is necessary for integration of the products and services that you use with other products and services (applicable where you have requested or provided consent to us for doing so).

If we determine the personal information is no longer required for the purpose(s) for which it was obtained, we will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to destroy the information or to ensure that the information is de-identified (to the extent permitted by applicable law).

If there is any personal information that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our back-up or other systems, we will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to help prevent any further processing or use of the data, including procedures to ensure the de-identification of the data.


7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Your personal information may be transferred to, or stored, accessed, or processed outside of, your jurisdiction of residence. Such other jurisdiction’s data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live, and may not provide the same level of protection as your local laws. Such other jurisdictions may include, as applicable, Australia, Europe, Asia, and/or the United States. Recipients in these other jurisdictions may be us and our affiliates, or third parties.

When your personal information is transferred outside your jurisdiction of residence, it may be accessible to law enforcement and government agencies of that jurisdiction, despite our attempts to thwart or prevent such access.

Before transferring your personal information to a recipient outside of your local jurisdiction, we will take steps reasonably necessary to help ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice, your local privacy laws (to the extent applicable), and any other applicable privacy and data protection laws, including by using appropriate safeguards (such as contractual commitments). Where we have engaged international third parties to perform services in respect of any personal information collected from you, we will use contractual or other means to ensure such third parties offer a comparable level of protection in respect of the personal information.

Subject to local laws, we may also transfer your personal information to a recipient outside of your jurisdiction if we have obtained your consent, if it is required or authorised by a law or court order, or if a permitted situation exists at law (for example, to prevent a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual, or to public health or safety, to take appropriate action in relation to suspected unlawful activity or misconduct of a serious nature, to locate a person who has been reported missing, or to establish, exercise or defend a legal or equitable claim).

For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, or if you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any data with us has been compromised), please notify us immediately in accordance with the “How to Contact Us” section below.

The services are intended for use by persons 18 years of age and older. Under no circumstances should the services be used by children under 18 years of age, and we will not knowingly collect personal information from any person we know to be in this age group.
