You have the right to be informed of whether we collect your personal data, the type of data collected (such as health data, device information, etc.), the source of the data (such as data you provide proactively, automatic collection by the App, etc.), the purpose of processing (such as to enable functionality and optimize services, etc.), the storage period, the specific parties to whom the data is shared with third parties, and the purposes for which it is used. We will clearly explain the relevant details in this Policy. If you require further clarification, please contact us at any time.

 

(2) Right of Access

 

You have the right to access all personal data we collect about you (including but not limited to your health records and device information). If you request access, we will provide it to you in a structured, easily understandable format. For data processed by a third party, you can refer to the third party's privacy policy to exercise your right of access.

 

(3) Right of Correction

 

If you discover that your personal data is inaccurate, you have the right to request correction. For third-party data corrections, you can directly request that they process the data.

 

(4) Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)

 

You have the right to request that we erase your personal data in the following circumstances: if the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected; if you have withdrawn your consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing; if our processing violates laws and regulations; if laws and regulations require erasure; or if other circumstances require erasure. For erasure of data processed by a third party, please refer to their policies.

 

(5) Right to Restrict Processing

 

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in the following circumstances: you contest the accuracy of the data while we are verifying it; our processing is unlawful but you do not wish the data to be deleted; the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing but you need it to defend your rights; you have exercised your right to object and we are verifying the grounds for your objection.

 

You may also exercise this right with respect to processing by third parties.

 

(6) Right to Data Portability

 

You have the right to request that we provide you with your personal data (e.g., blood pressure records) in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (e.g., CSV, JSON, etc.), or transfer such data directly to another data controller designated by you. For data involving third parties, please refer to their respective regulations.

 

(7) Right to Object

 

You have the right to object, based on your particular situation, to our processing of your personal data based on our legitimate interests (e.g., feature optimization based on user experience analysis), including objecting to the sharing of your data with third parties for advertising purposes. If you object, we will cease the processing unless we can demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds for continued processing. You may also object directly to processing by third parties.

 

(8) Right to Withdraw Consent

 

If you have previously consented to our collection, use, or sharing of your personal data (including sharing with third parties), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You may withdraw your consent through the "Contact Us" section of this Policy, and your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of any processing previously conducted based on your consent.

If you are located in the European Economic Area and believe that our processing of your personal data violates the GDPR or other relevant laws and regulations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your member state. We will actively cooperate with any such supervisory authority's investigation.
