Sensitive Personal Data, also known as ‘Special Category Data’ and is a subset of Personal Data. Special rules apply to the handling of Sensitive Personal Data.
We require your explicit consent to collect and process your Sensitive Personal Data. Please see the sections below entitled ‘What We Do With Your Personal Data’ and ‘Why We Collect It’ which provides more details about consent where you have granted this to us.
Where you have provided us with your explicit consent to use your Sensitive Personal Data then we will use, store and disclose your Sensitive Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy or required by law. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes holding your Sensitive Personal Data in a secure third-party web host with appropriate security and confidentiality measures in place under a service agreement with the Company within the United Kingdom and sharing limited amounts of your information with certain third party service providers who assist us to provide our products and services as set out in the section below entitled ‘Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties’.
Legal Basis for Usage of Your Personal Information Where we intend to use your personal data, we rely on the following legal grounds:
Performance of a Contract: We may need to collect and use your personal data to enter into a contract with you or to perform a contract that you have with us. For example, to provide you with: our products and services, health checks at our health stations, health risk appraisals online, lifestyle coaching, and provision of relevant health content, and where we respond to your requests and provide you with services in accordance with our terms and conditions (https://www.sisuwellness.com/terms-and-conditions-uk/) or other applicable terms of business agreed with you or with your employing organisation.
In Our or a Third Party’s Legitimate interests: Where we consider use of your information as being (a) non-detrimental to you, (b) within your reasonable expectations, and (c) necessary for our own, or a third party’s legitimate purpose, we may use your personal data, which may include: • for our own direct marketing or continued communication; • the prevention of fraud; • our own internal administrative purposes; • personalisation of the service(s) we provide to you; • ensuring network and information security, including preventing unauthorised access to electronic communications networks and stopping damage to computer and electronic communication systems; and • reporting possible criminal acts or threats to public security to a competent authority.
Compliance With a Legal Obligation: We may be required to process your information due to legal requirements, including tax laws and other regulatory provisions applicable to the Company as a provider of health assessment and health improvement services.
Consent: We will only ask you for your consent to process your personal information if there is no other legal reason to process it. If we need to ask for your consent, we will make it clear that this is what we are asking for, and ask you to confirm your choice to give us that consent.
You may be asked to provide your consent in connection with certain Services that we offer, for example in respect of any processing of your personal data for the marketing of third party products that we consider may be of interest to you. We are also legally obliged to gain your explicit consent in respect of your Sensitive Personal Data, due to the sensitive nature of such information and/or the circumstances in which it is gathered or transferred.
If we cannot provide a Service without your consent (for example, we cannot provide the results to your health station tests without health information), we will make this clear when we ask for your consent. Where we are reliant upon your consent, you may withdraw this at any time by contacting us at [email protected] or by using the details set out below, however we will no longer be able to provide you with the Service that relies on having your consent.
What We Do With Your Personal Data and Why We Collect It We will only use or disclose your Personal Data for the purpose that we collected it or as set out in this Privacy Policy. We also set out some legal reasons why we may process your personal information (these depend on what category of personal information we are processing).
A) Internal Uses We may use your Personal Data within the Company: • to provide you with the Services and products you request; • to assist with your questions about our Services, billing (where relevant), payment methods (where relevant) or use of our website, mobile app or health stations; • to process or collect payments made in connection with our Services; • to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between us; • to maintain and develop our relationship with you; • to evaluate our Services and products and to conduct customer surveys; • to improve our Services via internal research and development; • to maintain and update our records including our database of contacts; • for our business purposes, including data analysis, submitting invoices, detecting, preventing, and responding to actual or potential fraud, illegal activities, or intellectual property infringement; • as we believe reasonably necessary or appropriate to: comply with our legal obligations; respond to legal process or requests for information issued by government authorities or other third parties; or protector your, our, or others’ rights; and • for direct marketing purposes as set out in section B) below.
We may also use your information within the Company, to send you information relating to your use of the Company Services.
B) Direct Marketing We can only use your personal information to send you marketing material if we have your permission or a legitimate interest as described above. We may use your personal information to send you marketing by post, by phone, through social media, by email and by text. For our legitimate interests, in order to support the Services we provide to you, we may provide you with information and services on an ongoing basis, including relevant marketing communications related to the Company, and other information or materials, that you request from us or which we feel may interest you where you have indicated that you would like to receive these from us.

C) Promotions If you provide Personal Data or any loyalty program number that has been issued to you for the purposes of any promotions offered in connection with the Services either by the Company or a third party, this information may be passed back to the owner of the promotion to apply rewards and improve your overall customer experience. If at any time we intend to change the purpose for which we hold your Personal Data, for example to offer you with a complimentary service that we may provide in the future, we will give you prior information of that new purpose so you are aware of this.
D) Research
We work with a number of accredited Universities and public health hospitals in several countries to undertake research on preventive health and population health management. All and any data provided to these universities for research purposes is fully de-identified and the scope, length and terms of its use clearly defined and documented. SiSU Health also undertakes due diligence with each University partner to confirm that their data management protocols and processes relating to security, access, storage and transmission are robust and legally compliant. All and any research collaborations with Universities must also pass their Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) processes. SiSU Health’s university partners and specific research projects can be viewed on the SiSU Health website -https://www.sisuhealthgroup.com/research/
E) Client & Partner Reporting and Analytics services
We provide reporting and analytics to corporate clients and other partners as part of a commissioned deployment. These reports provide an aggregated summary of participant activity and health metrics generated on the SiSU Health Platform, including the SiSU Health Station, online Health Risk Assessment, SiSU Portal and digital communications etc.,
All data presented in these reports is sourced from a database that contains no personally identifiable information such as participant names, date of birth, email address, or IP address etc. SiSU Health also employs a mechanism within its reporting services to control against deductive identification of individuals where there is small response pool (n) for a specific deployment location. Where this occurs, reporting is automatically presented at a higher aggregated level and excludes age group and/or sex.
Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties We will not give, sell, rent, loan or otherwise disclose any Personal Data to any third party, unless: • you have authorised us to do so; • it is for direct marketing purposes as set out above; • such sharing is provided for under contract, including our terms and conditions (https://www.sisuhealthgroup.com/terms-of-use-uk/) for any particular service that we may provide to you; • it is for the purposes of a contest, loyalty program and/or competition conducted via our Services; • we are legally required to do so, for example, in response to a subpoena, court order or other legal process; • we need to enforce or apply our terms and conditions (https://www.sisuhealthgroup.com/terms-of-use-uk/) to which you have agreed (or other terms that have been agreed to apply to our relationship with you or your employing organisation); • it is necessary to protect the rights and interests, property, or safety of the Company, our clients or others; • our agents or contractors who assist us in providing our services require such information, for example in fulfilling requests for information, receiving and sending communications, updating marketing lists, analysing data, providing support services or in other tasks from time to time. Our agents and contractors will only use your information to the extent necessary to perform their functions; • all, or most, of the assets of the Company or any single business unit within the Company are merged with or acquired by a third party, or we expand or re-organise our business, in which case your personal data may form part of the transferred or merged assets.
We use third party service providers to provide services that involve data processing, for example web-hosting, analytics providers in connection with the operation of our Services, auditing, research, client contact, data processing, and marketing services. [A full list of such service providers can be found at https://www.sisuwellness.com/sub-processors/. This link may be updated from time to time as we change, add or update our suppliers, so we would encourage you to periodically check this list for any changes that may have been made.
All information collected by the Company will be stored by a secure third-party web host under a service agreement with the Company. Your email address and some personal information will be stored with our email providers under a service agreement with the Company.
How We Protect Information Online We take steps to hold information securely in electronic or physical form and hold ISO 27001 accreditation for our information security systems.
Our information security policy is supported by a variety of processes and procedures, and we store information in access-controlled premises or electronic databases requiring logins and passwords. It is our policy to protect your account information against unauthorised access or release. All the information you provide to us is handled through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL is a leading Web technology that encrypts your account information. If you register on-line or via any of our health stations we use 256-bit encryption when we ask for or provide personal or confidential information. Please exercise caution when sending information via email, as email messages do not have the security features that are built into our website.
In addition, we have procedures that limit ‘the Company’ employees’ and contractors’ access to personal information. Only those employees and contractors with a business reason to know have access to such information. We educate our employees about the importance of confidentiality and customer privacy through standard operating procedures, mandatory training programs, and internal policies on data privacy and corporate integrity. We take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee privacy responsibilities.
Once we have received your Personal Data, we will take reasonable steps to use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
How You Can Access and/or Correct Your Personal Data If you register or use our Services, you may review and correct, as needed, the registration information you provide by visiting the website.
You are able to update and keep all your information accurate via our website. For this reason we recommend you do not share your Personal Data with anyone or allow them to access your personal details and health information. Please contact us immediately if you believe your Personal Data is incorrect and you are unable to correct it or it otherwise needs to be corrected or has been viewed or accessed by anyone but you without your consent at [email protected].
Disclosure of Personal Data Outside of the United Kingdom (“UK”)
Where you are submitting personal data from within the UK, such information may be transferred to countries outside the UK. By way of example, this may happen if one or more of our third-party service providers with whom we share personal data in accordance with the section titled ‘Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties’ are located, or have their servers located, outside your country or the country from which the data were provided. If we transfer your information outside the UK in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
Data breaches
The circumstances and risks associated with each breach will be different and, as such, each data breach response needs to be tailored to the particular context. SiSU Health Group will act quickly; and will take the breach seriously and treat it as a priority matter requiring immediate resolution.
In general, whenever SiSU Health Group has identified a data breach and initiated its response plan, our actions will follow four key steps:
1. Contain the breach immediately to prevent any further compromise of personal information;
2. Assess the risks of harm to affected individuals by investigating the circumstances of the breach;
3. Notify affected individuals if deemed appropriate in the circumstances;
4. Review the breach and the our response to consider longer-term action to prevent future incidents of a similar nature.
