However, if you withdraw your consent, this may impact the ability for us to be able to provide the Huma app and platform and associated services to you, such as providing our services to you or performing contractual and other legal obligations that we have to you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, multiple factors may be considered including:
the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data ,

the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and
the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
The data collected and processed within the scope of contractual relationships with us will be deleted upon completion of your request, if necessary after the expiry of contractual warranty and/or liability periods as well as statutory retention periods.
Insofar as the processing of Personal Data is based on your consent, we will delete this data if you revoke your consent to us.

Where you choose to take part in research, we will retain your personal information in line with the duration of the study or research initiative, as required to meet a contractual obligation, legal obligation, or until you withdraw your consent.

Use of Artificial Intelligence
AI-generated content is content that is created by generative AI models based on user prompts. If you are a healthcare patient and Huma has been instructed by your healthcare provider to provide you with monitoring services, our nurse monitoring staff may use a conversational generative AI chatbot (specifically, GPT 3.5 model on Microsoft Azure) for the purpose of receiving assisted typing. This chatbot will be used to generate messages to you about your care. The use of this chatbot is limited in scope to healthcare patients in the United States of America.

We may also use your Personal Data relating to health on the basis of its necessity for reasons of public interest in the area of public health and/or scientific research in accordance with applicable public health and data protection regulations and subject to compliance with applicable prior formalities and/or obtaining any required authorisations from the appropriate national health and/or data protection authorities.

6. Risks and how we keep your personal information secure
The main risk of our processing of your personal information is if it is lost, stolen or misused. This could lead to your personal information being in the hands of someone else who may use it fraudulently or make public information that you would prefer to keep private.
Huma is committed to protecting your personal information from loss, theft and misuse. We take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including through use of appropriate organisational and technical measures. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Access to your information is limited in accordance with our agreement with your Healthcare Provider.
In the course of provision of your personal information to us, your personal information may be transferred over the internet. Although we make every effort to protect the personal information which you provide to us, the transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure. Please keep that in mind when providing data to us using the Internet. Once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access to it.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access your online account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
