You can ask us for information on this balancing test by using the contact details in Section 8.

Consent We may use your special categories of data (such as health and wellbeing information)  where you have provided your consent.

If we rely on your consent for us to use your personal information in a particular way,  but you later change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by contacting us at  privacy@huma.com and we will stop doing so. 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. In these circumstances, if you do not provide us with such personal information, withdraw consent or ask us to delete your information, you may no longer be able to access Huma app and/or platform for receipt of the Huma services. Where you choose to withdraw consent, this action does not impact data lawfully collected prior to your withdrawal.

Retention (How long we store your personal information)

We keep your personal information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the  personal information is processed.  The length of time for which we retain personal information depends on the purposes for which we collect and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws and to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

• the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data  ,
• the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your 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 right to portability	Request the transfer of certain of your Personal Data  to you or to a third party (the right of data portability). We shall provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data  in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.  Please note that this right only applies to information you provided to us and which we process on the basis of consent or where it is necessary to perform a contract with you.
The right to withdraw your consent	Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data  .

Response Times

We will consider all such requests and provide our response within a reasonable period (and in any  event within one month of your request unless we tell you we are entitled to a longer period under  applicable law). Please note, however, that certain personal information may be exempt from such  requests in certain circumstances, for example if we need to keep using the information to comply with  our own legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Exceptions

If an exception applies, we will tell you this when responding to your request. We may request you  provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to any request you  make.

Our website and services are not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children without express consent from a parent or guardian.

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.
