Introduction
This is the privacy and cookies policy for the MyMPO™ mobile application (App). The App is operated by or on behalf of Future Health Works Ltd (we, us and our). For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are the data controller. We are committed to protecting your privacy online.

By using the App, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time by changing it on this website or by updating the App. This Privacy Policy was last updated on 12 November 2018. Information we may collect from you

We may collect and process the following information about you:

If you install the App on to an Android or Apple device which has the respective Google Fit or HealthKit features enabled, Future Health Works Ltd will request access to details of your exercise and fitness level available through your device. You will be prompted by your device to allow access the first time this content is requested by us and, even if you grant Future Health Works Ltd access, you can stop this access at any later point by changing the settings on your device. You are under no obligation to provide this information. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services, e.g. if insufficient activity data is uploaded to the App we cannot provide you or your surgeon with activity-related outputs and analytics. When you access or use the App, we may, by means of cookies and/or other similar technologies, automatically collect additional information about you – such as the type of mobile device you use, and/or the operating system of your mobile device. See the Cookies & other technologies section for more information.

Location data
Your mobile device enables us to show you content that is local to you and to help authenticate the use of the services. We may approximate your location from your device using a combination of your IP address or through the GPS, Bluetooth or WiFi connection information used by your device. We do not collect fine-grained location data – we collect data in 30 minute intervals to an estimated 1 kilometer radius. Where we collect location data, we will prompt you about sharing your location and you can disable location sharing at any time through the settings of your device – although this may affect the services we can provide you e.g. monitoring and reporting on your activity levels or visits to your surgeon or healthcare professional.

Uses made of your information

Strict confidentiality and data security provisions will apply at all times;
troubleshoot bugs within the App; and troubleshoot and help you with any questions/ enquiries. To help the surgeon or other healthcare professionals involved in your care to better track your progress post-operation, we may contact you via email, requesting you to fill out a survey or answer questions about your treatment and recovery progress. These emails will be sent to you even if you uninstall the App. Please note, we will only use your email address to provide you information related to your operation and recovery journey and use of the App. We will not, without your permission, use it to send you general marketing emails.

Information sharing
We may share your information, including information that you insert in to the App, with:
your nominated surgeon or healthcare professional responsible for your care for the purposes explained above so they can understand and evaluate your condition and recovery progress.

You will be informed clearly and in a transparent manner, what type of personal data will be shared;
registry providers, for tracking post-surgery progress for specific implants in cases where individual users have separately consented to this; and if required or authorised by law or a legal process, such as to law enforcement bodies to assist in their functions and courts of law.
In the event that we undergo re-organisation or are sold to a third party, you agree that any personal information we hold about you may be transferred to that re-organised entity or third party. We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to prevent fraud or cyber crime or to protect the App or the rights, property or personal safety of any person.

Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of information will never occur, we use all reasonable efforts to prevent it. You should bear in mind that submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure.
