Insulia® mobile and web application privacy policy for patients
Voluntis Inc. and its affiliates (“Voluntis,” “our” “we” or “us”) own or control a mobile application (the “App”) and web portal (including my.insulia.com, the “Site”) that provides health care providers and their patients with access to and use of Voluntis’ Insulia® diabetes management companion software platform, which can be used on a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other computing device (collectively, whether accessed via the App or the Site, “Insulia”). Insulia is prescribed to you by your physician or other healthcare provider (your “Provider”). This Privacy Policy is integrated into and made part of the Terms of Use which users are required to accept at the time of their first login to the App or the Site.
What does our Privacy Policy Include?
This Policy describes how Voluntis collects, uses and shares information about you through Insulia. Please read this policy carefully to understand what we do. If you do not understand any aspects of our Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us as described at the end of this Policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the App and the Site. Insulia also contains links to third party sites that are not owned or controlled by Voluntis. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. Voluntis does not share Personal Information (defined below) with those sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave Insulia and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personal information.
What Information Do We Collect?
We collect two types of information: (1) information we receive from you, and (2) information we receive from others. Information we receive from you includes information you share with us, such as when you use the Insulia mobile or web application and enter information about your blood glucose and other diabetes related information. It also includes information you provide us through technology, such as through a cookie placed on your computer when you visit our websites. We also receive information from other sources, such as your Provider, who provides and modifies your treatment plan to assist you in your diabetes management.
Information You and Your Provider Provide To Us
You and your Provider may provide us with “Personal Information” – information about you that can be used to identify you, such as (i) your contact information (e.g. name, phone number, email address), (ii) protected health information or other health or medical information that is in identifiable format (“Health Information”), and (iii) other non-public information that can be used to identify you (collectively, “Personal Information”). When we use the term “De-Identified Information”, we mean information about you from which you cannot reasonably be identified.
When your Provider prescribes Insulia, he or she prepopulates information to assist you in creating an account. The information that your healthcare provider enters into your account includes:
- Your demographic data (name, birthdate, phone number and Email),
- Your preferences (used unit of measure and language),
- Your measures (current weight, height and A1c),
- Your goals (blood glucose and A1c),
- Your insulin prescription (insulin brand and injection schedule)
- And the adjustment settings (frequency, thresholds, amounts) for your insulin injections.
When you use Insulia, request information from us, contact customer support, or otherwise communicate with us, you provide information to us. This Privacy Policy applies to this and other information that you provide to us. This information is associated with your account in order to facilitate your and your Provider’s use of Insulia for management of your condition.
