Data Privacy Statement

Please read in any event this important information!

The measured values ​​are permanently assigned to the biozoom scanner through a secure encrypted key contained in the device. This has the advantage that neither an account nor passwords are necessary. However, you should therefore make the biozoom scanner only available to people who are allowed to know the measured values​​. Due to the fact that the biozoom scanner itself is the key to the stored data, it should also be kept safely.

 Introduction

biozoom services GmbH, Wilhelmshöher Allee 273 A in D-34131 Kassel (“biozoom” or “we“) takes data protection very seriously and wants to ensure that your privacy is protected and you are informed about the use of your data. In this privacy notice, we explain, therefore, in what manner and for what purposes we use your data. This Privacy Policy explain how we deal with data when using the biozoom Mobile App and the biozoom Desktop Software (together “biozoom Software”) to evaluate the test data obtained through the biozoom scanner through the biozoom Server (together “biozoom Services”).

 Measurements and measurement processes

When you are carrying out measurements with the biozoom scanner, the measured raw data will be sent from the biozoom scanner to your biozoom software in an encrypted manner. In order to evaluate the measurement results and possibly to develop measurement processes, the encrypted data will be sent to a biozoom server. The measurement results and also possibly the measurement processes will be calculated on this server. Afterwards, the measurement results will be displayed on your biozoom software. All servers operated by or on behalf of biozoom for the purpose of evaluating the measured raw data and compiling the measurement processes are situated in Germany. The data will not leave Germany.

Measured raw data, measurement results and measurement processes are principally not linked with the personal characteristics of the user. biozoom will not be able to link the data with specific persons, but only with the respective utilized biozoom scanner. This is done by means of the biozoom scanner’s serial number, which is transferred to the biozoom server together with the measured raw data. All of the measured raw data is subject to a 128bit encryption on the biozoom scanner, before it is sent to the biozoom server for evaluation purposes.

Even if you enter user information, such as a name or an identification number, into the biozoom scanner, in order to link a measurement with a certain person, the biozoom software will automatically transform the user information into a so-called hash value before transferring it to the biozoom server. This hash value does not have any traces in regards to the affected person, but it does enable the biozoom servers to differentiate between persons, who were measured with the same biozoom scanner, in order to compile measurement processes for them.

 Improvement of our services

We also utilize the data transferred to the biozoom server in this manner in order to continuously improve the user friendliness and quality of the biozoom services. When you install the biozoom software and utilize the biozoom services, biozoom registers anonymous data in regards to the utilization of the biozoom data and services for this purpose, as well as possible data in regards to the utilized end devices. Examples of the registered data: operating system version and installation problems, text entries in regards to the entry fields in the biozoom software and sensor data for the biozoom scanner, as well as utilization frequency.

 Examples of handling the biozoom scanners when registering data

Here, we would like to present you with detailed examples of handling data registration with the individual biozoom scanner device types:

QuickTest Portable:

  • After carrying out a measurement, the biozoom scanner (depending on the technical settings) will ask for a user characteristic in regards to the measured person. Here, it is possible to enter a patient or client number as a user characteristic, for example. The entry is then encrypted by means of a hash value, which makes it impossible to recognize the initial entry. The measurement values are then saved to the biozoom server using this hash value. Advantage of the process: no personal data is sent to biozoom. Very rarely is it possible in technically unavoidable cases that different names/ client numbers carry identical hash values and the data of different users is therefore mixed and the measurement processes are consequently distorted. A mixing of data between biozoom scanners can, however, be excluded.
  • When installing the program, biozoom will be able to register data from your device and your application (for example the utilized Windows version or driver information) and this information shall be used to check or improve compatibility (for example to better coordinate the biozoom scanners and the biozoom software).

ANTIOX TO GO:

  • Your device has a serial number. The reading data is saved under this serial number. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, you can have several users registered which are saved separately. The user identification is encrypted in a hash value and saved on the biozoom server under this hash value.
  • When installing the program, biozoom will be able to register data from your device and your application (for example the utilized Windows version or driver information) and this information shall be used to check or improve compatibility (for example to better coordinate the biozoom scanners and the biozoom software).

Voluntary disclosure of Personal Data

To the extent that you voluntarily give us your personal information, such as for the purpose of contacting, we will process the personal data only for the purpose for which you provided it to us. This data is only stored by us as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose. Once the personal information is no longer required by us for these purposes, it will be deleted immediately or made inaccessible – in case we are legally required to store it.

Data collection and processing by third parties

To the extent that third parties collect, process, or use your personal data in connection with our services, for example, when purchasing a biozoom scanner or on the mobile app platform on which you are downloading the biozoom Mobile App, or at other third-party websites which you visit with regard to biozoom attend, then the third party is responsible for the proper collection and processing of your personal data. This shall not apply if the third party collects, processes or uses your information on our behalf. In the case of such a data processing order we will comply with the legal requirements, in particular with Section 11 Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

Access, Correction and Deletion

You always have the right to receive free information regarding your personal data stored with us. If your data is stored incorrectly or wrongly by us, we will gladly correct, block or delete it.

You also have the possibility to have the reading data connected with your biozoom scanner and the measurement data profiles deleted from the biozoom server at any time. In that case, just send us a letter to biozoom services GmbH, Wilhemshöher Allee 273A , D-34131 Kassel. Please note that biozoom reserves the right to request from you meaningful identification documentation and proof of the pertinent serial number before deletion. We strongly recommend that you delete the data before passing on the biozoom scanner to any third party. Otherwise, your data history is visible to the acquirer of the biozoom scanner. To the extent that biozoom is legally required to continue storing data, biozoom undertakes to block the data for the duration of the storage obligation, instead of deleting it. biozoom is at liberty to delete data that has been read by a biozoom scanner for which there is no authorization for the use of biozoom services .

  1. USAGE REQUIREMENTS

4.1. As a basis for using the biozoom desktop software on a PC, your operating system must be Windows 7 or higher, Microsoft .net (contained in Windows or to be installed independently). Also required are an installed browser and a USB 2.0 port in your terminal device. If the USB port is used with a connected USB-serial bridge, the biozoom software may cause compatibility problems with other devices which are connected through the USB port. Should such problems arise, do not use the devices/drivers in question simultaneously. Should the software not work, you can try resetting your PC to its delivery condition and then try re-installing the software. Observe the directions of the computer manufacturer in doing so, especially concerning data backup. You can check whether the required .net version is already contained in your Windows version or whether it must be installed independently on the download site for the software. Administrator rights are required for the installation of the software. Examples of functioning system configurations can be found on the biozoom homepage: www.mybiozoom.com.

4.2. To use the biozoom mobile app on a smart phone, the operating system Android 4.4 or higher is required. You will also need to use Bluetooth Low Energy in your phone. Examples of functioning system configurations can be found on the biozoom homepage: www.mybiozoom.com.  Most of the functions of the biozoom software and the biozoom services which you can access through the biozoom software require internet access, or at least a cellular network for your terminal device. The access to and usage of these networks (including any incurring fees) are subject to the agreement of your cellular network or internet provider. You will bear the costs arising from data transfers using the biozoom services. We recommend an unlimited internet plan for the usage of the biozoom services. Should your internet or cellular network connection be limited or interrupted, you will not be able to use the biozoom services.

4.3. You alone are responsible for the acquisition and running of the systems, system components and telecommunication services required for the use of the biozoom services over the internet or over a cellular network. Any related services are not part of the biozoom services.

4.4. The biozoom services are only usable by you if and as long as you are authorized to use the biozoom services in question. You are authorized to use the biozoom services for the minimum period without separate evaluation by biozoom (see Clause 2).

  1. USAGE OF THE BIOZOOM SERVICES

5.1. The data you measure using a biozoom scanner will be linked to the serial number of this scanner. It is not possible to link the data measured with a biozoom scanner, or the data history produced from this, to another scanner, nor can the data be transferred to another scanner.

5.2. Should you use the biozoom services for different people,

  • you can allocate individual identification codes to individual people. Identification codes are required in order to generate and display measurement data for individual people. Identification codes should be chosen so that it cannot be inferred to whom they refer. Your obligations according to the appropriate data protection regulations remain unaffected; and
  • you are obligated to protect the measurements and analysis results as well as measurement data history from unauthorized access by third parties and to only publish such information with the consent of the individual concerned.
  • you are obligated to take into account that, for security purposes, the identification codes are offset by the software using a has value. You must therefore ensure that the people being measured incur no damages as a result. In rare cases, it may occur that, as a result of this hash process, values measured using the scanner can be stored for different identification codes, but that different people’s results will be stored in a single measurement data history. This can be recognized when, after the first measurement of a person using their identification code, more than one measurement value is already displayed. If this is the case, assign the person a new identification code.

5.3. biozoom explicitly states, and you are also in agreement, that third parties who use your scanner and carry out a measurement using it have access to your measurement history and may thus falsify your measurement history with their measurement data.

5.4. Should the measurements carried out with your biozoom scanner also include reference points which reveal that more people are using the scanner than your license permits, biozoom then has the right to limit or to suspend usage of the biozoom services.

5.5. Should a product key or a license number be required for the installation of or access to the biozoom software, you are obligated to carefully and safely protect these codes from unauthorized access by third parties and to not share them with unauthorized persons.

5.6. The biozoom services are not storage services. You are responsible for regularly storing the measurement data and measurement history you obtain using your biozoom software so that they are also available to you when you can no longer use the biozoom scanner or the biozoom services.

5.7. You have the right at all times to have the data and data histories linked to your scanner fully deleted from the biozoom server. To do so, write to us at: biozoom services GmbH, Wilhelmshöher Allee 273 A in D-34131 Kassel. Biozoom reserves the right to demand convincing proof of identity as well as proof of purchase and verification of the serial number of the scanner before deletion is carried out. We strongly recommend that you have your data deleted before you pass on the scanner to third parties. If not, the recipient of the scanner will be able to view your measurement history. Insofar as biozoom is legally obligated to further retain data, biozoom will store the data for the duration of the duty to retain data rather than delete it. You undertake to request a deletion of exclusively your own data or, when authorized, a request for the deletion of data on behalf of someone else. Biozoom may delete data measured by someone using a biozoom scanner who is not authorized to use the biozoom services.

5.8. biozoom is not obligated to make the biozoom services available disruption-free. However, the service levels guaranteed by biozoom are available on the biozoom homepage: www.mybiozoom.com.

5.9. Taking measurements using the biozoom services is dependent on a number of additional constraints. Not only lacking services, but also particular skin types, soiled skin or tattoos, data transfer errors and unfavorable climate or lighting conditions can lead to erroneous values. Biozoom accepts no liability for the accuracy of the measurement results obtained through the biozoom services. However, for the skin types I-IV (according to Fitzpatrick) the measurements can be used to regulate your diet.

5.10. Your biozoom scanner and the biozoom services are not medical devices. The biozoom services and the biozoom scanner may only be used by healthy people and especially only on healthy skin. They may not be used as basic information for medical therapy. You should under no circumstances regulate your diet exclusively based on the results of the biozoom scanner. Instead, you should always pay attention to general dietary recommendations, for example, those provided by nutrition companies, and ensure that you eat a balanced diet. An unbalanced diet may lead to erroneous results.

5.11. You are responsible to use the device in accordance with local laws and regulations (especially relevant for use outside Germany). For example measuring data from living humans, transporting health relevant data through the internet and/or using measurements to derive health relevant information may not be legal in all countries of the world. E.g. in some countries specific certificates might be required. Biozoom can not be held responsible in case of violation of local regulations caused by the use of the biozoom scanner outside germany.

  1. Data protection

As a basic principle, no personal data is surveyed, processed or used by the biozoom services in accordance with Paragraph 3, Section 1 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). More details about the data that biozoom processes can be found in the data protection information.

  1. STORE Terms of Use

7.1. The biozoom services offer in some circumstances access to a store/a link to a store in which you can browse for, download, acquire, assess and review advice on medical content or nutrition, dietary supplements, health care and cosmetic products.

8.2. The basic functions of the biozoom software and the biozoom services will remain unaffected by updates.

8.3. You hereby agree to receive automatic updates without any additional notification, and you also permit biozoom to download and install the updates on your behalf. You agree to only receive biozoom updates or updates from other sources authorised by biozoom.

  1. Liability

9.1. biozoom accepts full liability in case of malicious intent, gross negligence and injury to body, life or health within the scope of the guarantees undertaken by biozoom and in accordance with product liability laws (ProdHaftG).

9.2 Notwithstanding the regulations in Clause 9.1, biozoom only accepts liability in case of minor negligence in cases of injury of cardinal duties. Under cardinal duties is to be understood the cardinal duties you are to adhere to based on the intent and purpose of the concrete contract or the duties whose fulfilment is above all made possible by the proper implementation of the contract and whose observance you may regularly rely on.

However, the liability of biozoom is limited in this case to damage which is foreseeable and typical for the contract at the time of the conclusion of the contract.

9.3. With regard to liability, according to Clause 9.1 and Clause 9.2, biozoom does not accept reliability for minor negligence.

  1. The aforementioned regulations in Clause 9 also apply to claims made for reimbursement of expenses according to Paragraph 284 of the BGB (German Civil Code). They also apply to biozoom legal representatives, employees, staff members and vicarious agents. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction
