When you use our application we use a third-party cookie, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. This information is only processed in a way that does not directly identify anyone. We use the information to get aggregated statistics on visitor activities.
This information is collected only with your consent. We have measures to protect the information collected, which include: limiting the amount of data collected (including not sharing the IP addresses with Google), setting a retention schedule, restricting access to our Google Analytics data, and regularly reviewing our use of analytics. We keep analytics data for 14 months from a visitor's last visit.
How do we use your data?
Esperity Health is an app which allows you to improve your knowledge about specific topics and to help you deal with your disease. We are also interested in understanding how much our users know about these topics and getting statistical results.
Therefore, we will use only information about the usage of our app, properly anonymised, to obtain statistical results in an aggregated and anonymised form which we will share with third parties.
Who can we communicate your data to?
Your data will be communicated to our hosting providers, suppliers of IT services and application software and consultants, who are our data processors. We will share with third parties only anonymous and aggregated data about the statistical results we will get from the usage of our services.

We are based in Europe and your data is stored in the European Union. Some of our suppliers (IT services, hosting provider) operate outside of the European Union, such as in the US, therefore your data can be accessed from the US.
