Thanks for visiting TapMedID’s Privacy Policy. We have updated our policy as of May 23, 2023. Here are some of the changes you’ll see:

- We’ve updated the policy to reflect changes in data privacy laws.
- We’ve added details about your ability to manage the information you share with us.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this policy from time to time. If we do, we’ll let you know about any material changes, either by notifying you on the site or by sending you an email. New versions of this policy will never apply retroactively— we’ll tell you the exact date they go into effect. If you keep using TapMedID after a change, that means you accept this policy.

HOW THIS POLICY APPLIES

This policy describes the information we collect from you, how we use that information and our legal basis for doing so. It also covers whether and how that information may be shared and your rights and choices regarding the information you provide to us. We use cookies and similar technologies.

By using the services offered by TapMedID, you’re acknowledging you have agreed to our Terms of Use and that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

WHAT WE COLLECT AND RECEIVE

In order for you to create an account on TapMedID and use our services, we need to collect and process certain information. Depending on your use of the services, that may include:

- Information you provide by completing forms on TapMedID — your name, email and postal addresses, telephone number, country of residence, login, and password details. We may ask for this information if you register as a user of the services, subscribe to our newsletters, upload or submit content through TapMedID, or if you contact us;
- Details of any requests or transactions you make through the services. TapMedID uses other companies for payment processing, and the payment information you submit is collected and used by them in accordance with their privacy policies. TapMedID doesn’t store your payment information;
- Information about your activity on and interaction with TapMedID, including use of our mobile apps (such as your IP address, the type of device or browser you use, and your actions on the site);
- Information about the ways people visit and interact with our site, in the form of traffic analytics. You can opt out of being included in Google Analytics. For more information about our use of data analytics to protect and improve our services, please email us at info@TapMedID.com;
- Communications you send to us (for example, when you ask for support, send us questions or comments, or report a problem); Information that you submit on or to TapMedID in the form of comments, contributions to discussions, or messages; and
- We never post anything to your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other third-party accounts without your permission. You may decline to provide us with your information. However, this will limit your ability to register for an account or use our services, therefore you will need to finish creating an account. You may review, change or remove your information through your account settings.

HOW WE USE THIS INFORMATION

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

- To keep your account secure and protect our services (including to verify the identities of users and prevent fraud and abuse);
- To enable us to provide you with our services, and to improve and promote our services;
- To create and administer your account, contact you, and better your experience on TapMedID ; and
- To track and analyze use of the services so that we can improve how TapMedID is performing and provide users with the best experience possible.

EUROPEAN UNION USERS

Data protection law in Europe requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and retaining personal information from citizens or residents of the European Economic Area. Our lawful bases include:

- Performing the agreement we have with you: In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligation to deliver the services.
- Legal compliance: Sometimes the law says we need to collect and use your data. For example, tax laws require us to retain records of pledges and payments made through our services.
- Legitimate interests: This is a technical term in data protection law which essentially means we have a good and fair reason to use your data and we do so in ways which do not hurt your interests and rights. We sometimes require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and that does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

For example, we use identity, device, and location information to prevent fraud and abuse and to keep the services secure. We may also send you promotional communications about our services, subject to your right to control whether we do so.

We analyze how users interact with our site so we can understand better what elements of the design are working well and which are not working so well. This allows us to improve and develop the quality of the online experience we offer all our users.

INFORMATION THAT ISN’T SHARED PUBLICLY

- The following data will not be publicly displayed or revealed to other users:
- Any payment information you provide
- Your password details
- Your IP address
- Your phone number
- Your date of birth and other identity verification documentation
- Private profile information, in accordance with your preferences
- Communications you send to us (for example, when you ask for support, send us questions or comments, or report a problem).

INFORMATION THAT’S SHARED WITH TRUSTED THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We may share your information with certain trusted third-party services to help us provide, improve, promote, or protect TapMedID’s services (like when we partner with payment processors, or use services that help us manage our ads on other sites). When we share data with third-party services that support our delivery of the TapMedID services, we require that they use your information only for the purposes we’ve authorized, and that they protect your personal information at least to the same standards we do. We may also share information that’s aggregated and anonymized in a way that it doesn’t directly identify you.

Information that’s shared to protect TapMedID and comply with the law

We do reserve the right to disclose personal information when we believe that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or law enforcement, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect TapMedID’s legal rights, property, or the safety of TapMedID, its employees, users, or others.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES AND SERVICES

Our site may include links to other websites or services whose privacy practices may differ from TapMedID’s. When you use a link to an external site or service, the privacy policy and data processing disclosures for that site or service governs.

RETENTION

We will retain your information as long as your account is active, as necessary to provide you with the services or as otherwise set forth in this policy. We will also retain and use this information as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy and to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and protect TapMedID’s legal rights.

We also collect and maintain aggregated, anonymized or pseudonymized information which we may retain indefinitely to protect the safety and security of our site, improve our services or comply with legal obligations.

DATA TRANSFERS

Because TapMedID is a US-based company, your information will be collected and processed in the United States. The United States has its own laws governing data protection and government access to information. The rules that protect your personal information under United States law may be different than in your home country. If you choose to use the services, you need to agree to our Terms of Use, which set out the contract between TapMedID and its users.

YOUR RIGHTS

Users residing in certain countries, including the EU, are afforded certain rights regarding their personal information. Except where an exception or exemption applies, these rights include the ability to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal information. While these rights are not applicable globally, all TapMedID users can manage their personal information, as further described below, in their account settings.

To modify or delete the personal information you’ve provided to us, please log in and update your profile. You may also delete your account from your account settings page. We may retain certain information as required by law or as necessary for our legitimate business purposes.

EMAIL AND MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS

We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. We try to keep emails to a minimum and give you the ability to opt in to any marketing communications we send.

We will send you email relating to your transactions on TapMedID. You may also elect to receive certain marketing email communications, in accordance with your preferences, and from which you may opt out at any time by adjusting your notification settings. If you download the TapMedID app, you can manage the notifications you receive on your mobile device in your profile settings.

We’ll also send you service-related announcements when it’s necessary to do so.

SECURITY

We take security seriously, and the security of your personal data is important to us. We follow industry-standard practices to protect the data we collect and maintain, including using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt information as it travels over the internet. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so TapMedID cannot guarantee its absolute security. Your account information is protected by a password, which you should choose carefully and keep secure.

DATA PROTECTION AUTHORITY

Subject to applicable law, if you are a citizen or resident of the European Economic Area, you also have the right to object to TapMedID’s use of your personal information and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or the United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office.
