Thank you for visiting our website. The Mobile Health Interventions Research Group (“we”, “us”, or “our”) as part of Future Health Technologies, Singapore-ETH Centre, is responsible for the content and technical systems of this website. The website has been set up for our app called LvL UP (“App”). As such, this Data Protection Notice (“Notice”) sets out the basis of how we collect, use, disclose or otherwise process personal data of LvL UP users in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act (“PDPA”).

This Privacy Notice applies to:

  1. LvL UP App
  2. LvL UP Website
  3. LvL UP App Store and Google Play Store

Privacy Notice does not apply to information that you choose to disclose or submit to any third-party app other than our app, including any third-party service (such as third-party websites) that you may access through the App.

I. PERSONAL DATA

As used in this Notice:

  1. “customer” means an individual who (a) has contacted us through any means to find out more about any goods or services we provide, or (b) may, or has, entered into a contract with us for the supply of any goods or services by us; and
  2. “personal data” means data, whether true or not, about a customer who can be identified: (a) from that data; or (b) from that data and other information to which we have or are likely to have access.

Depending on the nature of your interaction with us, some examples of personal data which we may collect from you include name, email address, home address.

Other terms used in this Notice shall have the meanings given to them in the PDPA (where the context so permits).

II. TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED

We generally do not collect your personal data unless (a) it is provided to us voluntarily by you directly or via a third party who has been duly authorised by you to disclose your personal data to us (your “authorised representative”) after (i) you (or your authorised representative) have been notified of the purposes for which the data is collected, and (ii) you (or your authorised representative) have provided consent to the collection and usage of your personal data for those purposes by downloading the App and consenting to the participant information sheet within the App, or (b) collection and use of personal data without consent is permitted or required by the PDPA or other laws. We shall seek your consent before collecting any additional personal data and before using your personal data for a purpose which has not been notified to you (except where permitted or authorised by law).

We collect anonymised data of visitors to our website through the usage of cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored permanently or temporarily on your computer when you visit this website. Their main function is to analyse how a website is used, both for statistical evaluation and to help continually improve the site. You may set your browser to deactivate cookies partly or completely at any time. However, this may have an impact on your browsing experience as some features of this website will not function properly.

Should you choose to submit an enquiry via our contact form, your name and email address will be stored by us to handle said enquiry and if we have further questions. Similarly, should you choose to receive a physical copy of the LvL UP booklet, the address provided will be stored in order to facilitate the delivery of the booklet. Any information you have entered shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer exists (e.g. after we have concluded our response to your enquiry).

III. DEEMED CONSENT BY NOTIFICATION

We may collect or use your personal data or disclose existing personal data for secondary purposes that differ from the primary purpose which it had originally collected for pursuant to the next chapter IV. If ETH Singapore SEC Ltd. (SEC) intends to rely on deemed consent by notification for such secondary purposes, ETH Singapore SEC Ltd. (SEC) will notify you of the proposed collection, use or disclosure of this personal data through appropriate mode(s) of communication.

Before relying on deemed consent by notification, ETH Singapore SEC Ltd. (SEC) will assess and determine that the collection, use and disclosure of the personal data will not likely have an adverse effect on you.

You will be given a reasonable period to inform us if you wish to opt-out of the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data for such purposes.

After the lapse of the opt-out period, you may notify us that you no longer wish to consent to the purposes for which your consent was deemed by notification by withdrawing your consent for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal data in relation to those purposes.

VII. CARE FOR PERSONAL DATA

To safeguard your personal data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced appropriate administrative, physical and technical measures such as minimised collection of personal data, authentication and access controls (such as good password practices, need-to-basis for data disclosure, etc.), encryption of data, data anonymisation, up-to-date antivirus protection, regular patching of operating system and other software, securely erase storage media in devices before disposal, web security measures against risks, usage of one time password(otp)/2 factor authentication (2fa)/multi-factor authentication (mfa) to secure access, and security review and testing performed regularly.

While security cannot be guaranteed, we strive to protect the security of your information and are constantly reviewing and enhancing our information security measures.
