Because we’re committed to safeguarding your wellness client/participant confidentiality, the following privacy principles apply:
- Challenge participant data is processed within the USA.
- In cases when the challenge may need personal information to customize content or to inform you about new features or services, you will be explicitly asked for that information.
- Personally identifiable information provided is processed to provide HES wellness challenges at the customers instruction; we employ strict security measures to safeguard personal information, which is stored in a secured database.
- Note that when you opt in to social features, you agree to share your name, email address, and logging information (minutes, steps, points, etc.) with other program participants.
- Individuals across the globe, including the European Economic Area, have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access to Information, as well as to seek to update, delete or correct this Information. You can usually do this using the settings and tools provided in your account. If you cannot use the settings and tools, please contact HES with any questions or concerns.
- To comply with European Union data protection laws around international data transfer mechanisms, we offer European Union Model Clauses, also known as Standard Contractual Clauses, to meet adequacy and security requirements for our customers who operate in the European Union and the United Kingdom. A copy of our standard data processing addendum, incorporating Model Clauses, is available here.
