As an IoT company, QIoT Ltd aim to support your healthcare objectives. To do so, we may collect your personal data to provide you with our services unless you are a patient of the NHS or Private Healthcare Company where we may not record any Personal Identifiable Information (PII). We do not take your trust for granted so we’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your personal data.
This Privacy Policy was last updated in June 2021.
Who We Are
This General Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to the QIoT Ltd and any related companies (collectively “we,” “us” or “our”).
If you live in the European Economic Area, the Controller of your personal data is QIoT Ltd, which has its principal place of business at Unit 260, Embroidery Mill, AbbeyMill Business Centre, Paisley, Scotland PA1 1TJ.
Privacy Policy Contents
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle and protect your personal data and the choices available to you regarding collection, process, access, and how to update, correct and delete your personal data. Additional information on our personal data practices may be provided in product settings, contractual terms, or notices provided prior to or at the time of data collection.
This Privacy Policy is intended for you if you are a user of our products and services.
Personal Data We Process
Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Personal Data”).
We may collect data or ask you to provide certain data when you visit and use our websites, products and services. The sources from which we collect Personal Data include:
- Data collected directly from you or your device relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”), and may include direct identifiers such as name, address, email address, phone number, and online or indirect identifiers such as CHI number, Password, Device Identifiers, Device Usage identifiers, or IP address;
- We are unlikely to need to invoice you for the device or reporting unless you come to us directly, in which case we will also collect billing data.
- If we link other data relating to you with your Personal Data, we will treat that linked data as Personal Data; and
- We may also collect Personal Data from trusted third-party sources such as NHS systems.
We do not process special categories of personal data or deduce in any way this type of information from data we collect within our products.
We organize the Personal Data we process into these basic categories: Billing Data, Account Data, and Product Usage Data.
Billing Data includes your name, email address, and your phone number. In most circumstances, you purchase our products and services directly from ourselves, but we may use a trusted third-party service provider, reseller, or app store. In those circumstances, your Billing Data is processed by the relevant third party and we only receive a subset of this data to keep proper business records. In these instances, see below an example of Billing Data and what we use it for:
| Billing data | What we use it for |
| Email address | To send you purchase receipts |
| Renewability | To check if a given subscription can be renewed |
| Date of expiry | To check whether a license is valid |
Account Data includes information needed to set up and customize an account, such as your name, email address and username, and information connected with our services, such as license keys. For some of our products or some of their functions creating an account is necessary. See below an example of Account Data and what we use it for:
| Account data | What we use it for |
| Name | To customize our communications by addressing you by your name |
| Email address | To send you communications regarding your license and support |
| Username | To manage your account and facilitate your login into the service |
| Subscription renewal date | To tell us until when the account is valid |
| Trial User | To add a trial period before the account is charged |
Product Data includes two sub-categories:
- Device Data includes information about the device number; and
- Service Data includes information about the QIoT product usage and events relating to use of our product by you such as date and time of usage.
Why We Process Your Personal Data
We use your Personal Data for the following purposes and on the following grounds:
On the basis of fulfilling our contract with your healthcare provider or entering into a contract with you on your request, in order to:
- Keep our products or services up-to-date, safe and free of errors, including implementation of new product features and versions;
- Provision the download, activation, and performance of the product or service;
- Verify your identity and entitlement to paid products or services, when you contact us for support or access our services;
- Process your purchase transactions;
- Provide you with technical and customer support.
- Update you on the status of your orders and licences;
- Process purchase of our products or services from us;
- Manage your subscriptions and user accounts; and
We will always ask for your consent before any processing that requires it and provide you with necessary information.
On the basis of legal obligations, we process your Personal Data when it is necessary for compliance with a legal tax, accounting, anti-money laundering, legal order, sanction checks or other obligation to which we are subject.
On the basis of our legitimate interest we will use your Personal Data to:
- Communicate about possible security, privacy and performance improvements and products that supplement or improve our purchased products and to optimize the content and delivery of this type of communication;
- Evaluate and improve the performance and quality of our products, services and websites, develop new products, train our employees and to understand usage trends, and analyse user acquisitions, conversions and campaigns;
- Allow interoperability within our applications;
- Secure our systems and applications;
- Allow effective performance of our business by ensuring necessary internal administrative and commercial processes (e.g. finances, controlling, business intelligence, legal & compliance, information security etc.); and
- Establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
For the above-mentioned processing operations, we have balanced your interests against our interests. In any case, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to our particular situation, to those processing operations.
Balancing Legitimate Interests
Before relying on our legitimate interests, we balanced them against your interests and made sure they are compelling enough and will not cause any unwarranted harm. With respect to the purposes below we consider necessary to explain what our interests are in detail.
Systems, Apps and Network Security
We process Personal Data for network and information security purposes. In line with EU data protection law, organizations have a recognized legitimate interest in collecting and processing Personal Data to the extent strictly necessary and proportionate for the purposes of ensuring network and information security. This primarily covers the ability of a network or of an information system to resist events, attacks or unlawful or malicious actions that could compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of stored or transmitted data, or the security of the related services offered by, or accessible via those networks and systems.
Both as an organization in our own right, and as a provider of cybersecurity technologies and services which may include hosted and managed cybersecurity technology services, it is necessary for the functionality of our systems, products and services and in our legitimate interests as well as in our users’, to collect and process Personal Data to the extent strictly necessary and proportionate for the purposes of ensuring the security of our own, and of our users’ networks, devices, and information systems. This includes the development of threat intelligence resources aimed at maintaining and improving on an ongoing basis the ability of our networks and systems, and those of certain partners, to resist unlawful or malicious actions and other harmful events (“cyber-threats”).
The Personal Data we process for said purposes includes, without limitation, network traffic data related to cyber-threats such as:
- Device usage data);
- Device location data at time of usage;
- Atmospheric conditions at place and time of device usage.
Depending on the context in which such data is collected, it may contain Personal Data concerning you or any other Data Subjects. However, in such cases, we will process the data concerned only to the extent strictly necessary and proportionate to the purposes of detecting, blocking, reporting (by removing any personally identifiable elements) and mitigating the cyber-threats of concern to you, and to secure your network, device and systems. When processing Personal Data in this context, we do not seek to identify a Data Subject.
Product and business improvement
We have a legitimate interest to use necessary Personal Data to understand user conversions, acquisitions and campaign performance through various distribution channels, and users’ download, activation and interactions with our products because these analytics help us improve functionality, effectiveness, security and reliability of our products and business activities and develop new products. This processing may include using third-party tools.
How We Process Your Personal Data
We do our best to disconnect or remove all direct identifiers from the Personal Data that we use:
- removal of identifiers begins when the products and services are initially activated. For paid users we keep Billing Data in a separate database and minimize its use for anything other than handling payments and our own finances.
- we continuously monitor for, minimize, disconnect, and remove all direct identifiers during the normal performance of the products and services.
Personalization
We may use your answers from surveys, in which you can participate, and relevant Product Data to personalize communication and recommend our relevant products for you.
We do not take any decisions solely based on algorithms, including profiling, that would significantly affect you.
How We Disclose Your Personal Data
We only disclose your Personal Data as described below, within our group, with our partners, with service providers that provide your primary healthcare, or as required by applicable law. Processing is only undertaken for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If we disclose your Personal Data, we require its recipients to comply with adequate privacy and confidentiality requirements, and security standards.
Payment processors
If you opt to pay for use of our services, we will use a third-party payment processor to take payment from you. These third parties are properly regulated and authorized to handle your payment information and are prohibited from using your Personal Data for any other purposes other than arranging these services for us. However, they are independent controllers of your data with their own responsibility.
These are our long-term payment processors:
| Payment Processor | Link to Privacy Policy | Location |
| Bank of Scotland | https://www.bankofscotland.co.uk/insurance/privacy-policy.html | UK & Ireland |
| PayPal | https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full | US, Ireland |
| Google Play Store (for mobile apps) | https://policies.google.com/privacy | US, Ireland |
| Apple Store (for mobile apps) | https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ | US, Ireland |
Your Billing Data is processed by the payment processor from whom you purchased the product. Your data is processed according to the relevant processor’s privacy policy.
Service Providers
We may use contractors and service providers to process your Personal Data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We contractually require service providers to keep data secure and confidential. Such service providers may include in particular, professional consultants.
Sometimes these service providers will be independent controllers of your data and their terms and conditions, end user license agreements (“EULA”) and privacy statements will apply to such relationships.
Distributors, Resellers
We may provide your Personal Data to our partners for the purpose of distribution, sale or management of our products. Our partners may use your Personal Data to communicate with you and others about QIoT products or services. In addition, you purchase our products directly from our distributor, a reseller, or an app store. Because your relationship in these cases is with that distributor, reseller or an app store, such third party will also process your Personal Data.
Analytics Tool Providers
We use analytical tools, including third-party analytical tools, which allow us to, among other things, identify potential performance or security issues with our products, improve their stability and function, understand how you use our products, and websites, so that we can optimize and improve your user experience, as well as evaluate and improve our campaigns. We use Service and Device data for analytics.
Below, we list these partners and tools and their privacy policies.
| Tool (provider) | Type of Analytics | Link to Privacy Policy | Location |
| Google Analytics (Google) | user behaviour | https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245
https://policies.google.com/privacy https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6366371?hl=en&ref_topic=2919631 |
US, Ireland |

| ZUDU | App Development | https://zudu.co.uk/ | UK |
Please note that not all of our products use all of these third-party analytics tools. Analytics tools that we use for diagnosing your product are necessary for service provision.
Public Authorities
In certain instances, it may be necessary for us to disclose your Personal Data to public authorities or as otherwise required by applicable law. No Personal Data will be disclosed to any public authority except in response to:
- A subpoena, warrant or other process issued by a court or other public authority of competent jurisdiction;
- A legal process having the same consequence as a court-issued request for data, in that if we were to refuse to provide such data, it would be in breach of local law, and it or its officers, executives or employees would be subject to liability for failing to honour such legal process;
- Where such disclosure is necessary for us to enforce its legal rights pursuant to applicable law; or
- A request for data with the purpose of identifying and/or preventing credit card fraud.
Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Restructurings
Like any other company, we too go through its own cycle of growth, expansion, streamlining and optimization. Its business decisions and market developments therefore affect its structure. As a result of such transactions, and for maintaining a continued relationship with you, we may transfer your Personal Data to a related affiliate.
If we are involved in a reorganization, merger, acquisition or sale of our assets, your Personal Data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We do not need to notify you of any such deal, when applicable.
How We Protect Your Personal Data
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for the protection of your Personal Data.
Administrative Safeguards
Access to the Personal Data of our users is limited to authorized personnel who have a legitimate need to know based on their job descriptions, for example, employees who provide technical support to end users, or who service user accounts. In the case of third-party contractors who process personal information on our behalf, similar requirements are imposed. These third parties are contractually bound by confidentiality clauses, even when they leave. Where an individual employee no longer requires access, that individual’s credentials are revoked.
Technical Safeguards
We store your personal information in our database using the protections described above. In addition, we utilize up-to-date firewall protection for an additional layer of security. We use high-quality antivirus and anti-malware software, and regularly update our virus definitions. Third parties who we hire to provide services and who have access to our users’ data are required to implement privacy and security practices that we deem adequate.
Physical Safeguards
Access to user information in our database by Internet requires using an encrypted VPN, except for email which requires user authentication. Otherwise, access is limited to our physical premises. Physical removal of Personal Data from our location is forbidden. Third-party contractors who process Personal Data on our behalf agree to provide reasonable physical safeguards.
Proportionality
We strive to collect no more Personal Data from you than is required by the purpose for which we collect it. This, in turn, helps reduce the total risk of harm should data loss or a breach in security occur: the less data we collect, the smaller the overall risk.
How Long We Store Your Personal Data
We will hold your Personal Data on our systems for the following periods:
- For Product Data, only as long as necessary for the purposes of a particular product or service. We use rolling deletion periods which means we regularly delete collected data in the given periods starting from the collection of that respective data. The rolling deletion periods for Product Data are not longer than twelve years.. Please note that when you uninstall our product, processing for service provision, analytics, if applicable, dependent on the installed product shall cease. After the uninstallation, we will continue to process your Product Data for statistical purposes for up to twelve years, however, we have appropriate measures in place, including pseudonymization.
- For Billing Data, for as long as we have a legal obligation or for our legitimate interests in establishing legal rights;
- For Account Data, for as long as you maintain your account;
Storage of Your Personal Data
The data we collect from you may be stored, with risk-appropriate technical and organizational security measures applied to it, on in-house as well as third-party servers in the in the UK and/or United States, as well as anywhere we or our trusted service providers and partners operate.
In all cases, we follow generally accepted standards and security measures to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

You have the right to object to such processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation, and we are required to assess the processing in order to ensure compliance with all legally binding rules and applicable regulations. In case of direct marketing, we shall cease processing Personal Data for such purposes after the objection.
- Right to withdraw consent – In the case of processing based on your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time, by using the same method (if technically possible) you used to provide it to us (the exact method will be described in more detail with each consent when you provide it). The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.
- Right to restriction of processing – You have the right to restriction of processing of your Personal Data if: You are contesting the accuracy of your Personal Data, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of your Personal Data; the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the Personal Data and request the restriction of its use instead; we no longer need the Personal Data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or you have objected to processing of your Personal Data, and there is a pending verification whether our legitimate grounds override your interests.
