If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post the updated version on this webpage. Our policy is to always be open and transparent about our privacy practices.

1.2   We rely on Third Party App Providers to obtain the relevant privacy consents and authorisations required by law in order for the personal information that is entered by End Users into Third Party Apps to be collected, disclosed and otherwise processed by us. We provide Third Party App Provider with a template collection notice made under APP 5 for them to issue to their End Users as part of their End Users’ registration of an account with the relevant Third Party App. We do not verify any document signed between the Third Party App and their End User however, we require Third Party Apps to electronically verify that they have obtained their End User’s consent to the collection and processing of End Users’ personal information by us.

1.3   Third Party App Provides may not use personal information that is processed about their End Users via Sahha without obtaining all consents required by applicable law.

1.4   We rely on Third Party Apps to ensure that all information collected from End Users and held by us is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading.

1.5   We encourage Third Party Apps to ensure that their End Users are familiar with their privacy policies so that their End Users understand how the Third Party App will collect, use and otherwise process personal information about them, via Sahha or otherwise.

2 The types of personal information we collect and hold about end users

2.1   We collect and hold the following types of personal information:

3 How we collect personal information

3.1   Our policy is to not collect personal information by means that are unfair or unreasonably intrusive in the circumstances. We only collect personal information that is necessary to provide the functionality of Sahha and to otherwise operate our business.

3.2   We collect personal information, including health information, about End Users when it is transmitted to us via a Third Party APp in accordance with our obligations pursuant to a contract in place with the Third Party App Provider.
