How Information Is Collected.

Signos might collect personal and non-personal information from you when you visit, access, register with, or use the Site and/or the App or any of its products or services; when you request, register for, order or purchase any products or services on, through or in relation to the Site; when you “sign in,” “log in” or the like to the Site and/or the App, even if through third-party online social media sites or accounts (e.g., Facebook, Google Plus, LinkedIn); when you allow the Site or the App to access, upload, download, import or export content found on or through, or to otherwise interact with, your computer or mobile device (or any other device you may use to visit, access, register with or use the Site or the App) or online accounts with third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications (e.g., your online social media accounts, your cloud drives and servers, your mobile device service provider); or whenever Signos asks you for such information, such as, for example, when you process a payment through the Site and/or the App, or when you answer an online survey or questionnaire.

In addition, if you or a third party sends Signos a comment, message or other communication (such as, by way of example only, email, instant message, letter, fax, phone call, or voice message) about or referencing you or your activities in relation to the Site or the App, then Signos may collect any personal or non-personal information provided therein or therewith.

Signos might also use various tracking, data aggregation and/or data analysis technologies, including, for example, the following:

  • Cookies, which are small data files (e.g., text files) stored on the browser or device you use to view a website or message.  They may help store user preferences and activity, and may allow a website to recognize a particular browser or device.  There are several types of cookies, including, for example, browser cookies, session cookies, and persistent cookies.  Cookies may record information you access on one page of a website to simplify subsequent interaction with that website, or to help streamline your transactions on related pages of that website.  Most major browsers are set up so that they will initially accept cookies, but you might be able to adjust your browser’s or device’s preferences to issue you an alert when a cookie is downloaded, or to block, reject, disable, delete or manage the use of some or all cookies on your browser or device.
  • Flash cookies, which are cookies written using Adobe Flash, and which may be permanently stored on your device.  Like regular cookies, Flash cookies may help store user preferences and activity, and may allow a website to recognize a particular browser or device.  Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings that are used for regular cookies.
  • Web beacons, which are pieces of code embedded in a website or email to monitor your activity on the website or your opening of the email, and which can pass along information such as the IP address of the computer or device you use to view the website or open the email, the URL page on which the web beacon is located, the type of browser that was used to access the website, and previously set cookie values.  Web beacons are sometimes used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. Disabling your computer’s, device’s or browser’s cookies may prevent some web beacons from tracking or recording certain information about your activities.
  • Scripts, which are pieces of code embedded in a website to define how the website behaves in response to certain key or click requests sent by the user.  Scripts are sometimes used to collect information about the user’s interactions with the website, such as the links the user clicks on.  Scripts are often times temporarily downloaded to the user’s computer or device from the website server, active only while the user is connected to the Site and/or the App, and deactivated or deleted when the user disconnects from the Site and/or the App.
  • Analytic tools and services, which are sometimes offered by third parties, and which track, measure and/or generate information about a website’s or program’s traffic, sales, audience and similar information, and which may be used for various reasons, such as, for example, statistical research, marketing research, and content ratings research, and conversion tracking. Google Analytics and Alexa are common examples of these types of technologies. Signos may also use other third-party analytic tools and services.
  • Other third-party data tracking or analytic technologies (e.g., deep linking, eTags, device fingerprinting or cross-device tracking).


Please be advised that if you choose to block, reject, disable, delete or change the management settings for any or all of the aforementioned technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies, then certain areas of the Site and/or the App might not function properly.

By visiting, accessing, registering with or using the Site and/or the App, you acknowledge and agree in each instance that you are giving Signos permission to monitor or otherwise track your activities on the Site and/or the App, and that Signos may use the aforementioned technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies.

Signos reserves the right to use your personal and non-personal information when:

  • Required by applicable law, court order or other governmental authority (including, without limitation and by way of example only, in response to a subpoena or other legal process); and/or
  • Signos believes in good faith that such use is otherwise necessary or advisable (including, without limitation and by way of example only, to investigate, prevent, or take legal action against someone who may be causing injury to, interfering with, or threatening the rights, obligations or properties of Signos, a user of the Site and/or the App (which may include you) or anyone else who may be harmed by such activities or to further Signos’s legitimate business interests).

Disclaimer of HIPAA Applicability.

Signos is not a “covered entity” as defined in the federal medical record privacy statute known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and the regulations issued under that law (“HIPAA”). Additionally, with respect to the personal information that Signos will obtain about you, Signos does not anticipate that it will ever be a “business associate” under HIPAA, since the companies Signos works with are not “covered entities” under HIPAA. Therefore, even though your personal information contains medical information that is the type of information commonly protected under HIPAA, it is not subject to any of the protections available to you under HIPAA. HIPAA is inapplicable to Signos’s relationship with you.

Sharing of Information Collected.

Signos reserves the right, but not the obligation, to share your personal information with the following:

  • Signos’s employees, agents, and administrators;
  • Signos’s accountants, financial advisors, and legal advisors;
  • Signos’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates;
  • In connection with any clinical research or clinical research trial in which Signos is participating or otherwise facilitating, any sponsor or principal investigator of such clinical research or clinical research trial;
  • Service providers and other third parties who help Signos provide, manage, administer, maintain, monitor, distribute, operate, or facilitate the Site and/or the App, who help Signos develop, market or provide its products and services, or who help further Signos’s business efforts, e.g., web hosting companies, website administrators, mobile app distribution platforms, support services companies, data analytics and analysis companies, advertising partners, and payment processing vendors (including, for example, through the Apple App Store), as needed in order for them to perform such services;
  • Law enforcement or other governmental entities in response to what Signos believes to be an allegation or suspicion of illegal activity, a request relating to a civil or criminal investigation, an allegation or suspicion of illegal activity, a subpoena, a court order, or any other activity that may expose Signos to liability if it does not act or comply;
  • Any third parties who Signos believes are necessary to help or allow Signos to protect and enforce its rights and properties, including, without limitation, to enforce its rights under Signos’s Terms and Conditions or any other agreements it has with you, and to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights; and/or
  • Any third parties who Signos believes are necessary to help or allow Signos to protect the rights and properties of others (which may include you), assuming that Signos believes it has an obligation to do so.

Signos also reserves the right to share your personal information with third parties in connection with or as a result of any potential or actual merger, acquisition or other event involving a change in ownership or control of Signos or Signos’s business (whether by sale of assets, merger, stock purchase or otherwise).

Signos also reserves the right to use data collected on, through, or in relation to the Site and/or the App (including, without limitation, your personal information) for use in conducting medical research, studies, and publications (and any other research, studies, and publications) and to share the same with third parties; provided, however, that any such use of such data will be on an anonymized basis.

Signos does not limit the ways in which it might use or share non-personal information – and Signos reserves the unencumbered right, but not the obligation, to use or share non-personal information – because non-personal information does not identify you.  For example, Signos may freely share non-personal information with its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, its vendors, its suppliers, its representatives and its customers, as well as with other individuals, businesses and government entities.

You may choose to share certain information and/or follow other users on the Site and/or the App. You may choose to share your contact information with other users or provide it publicly.

Data Retention.

Signos may retain your personal information and non-personal information for as long as it believes necessary; as long as necessary to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes, and/or enforce its agreements; and/or as long as needed to provide you with the products and/or services of the Site, the App, and/or Signos. Signos may dispose of or delete any such personal information or non-personal information at any time, except as set forth in any other agreement or document executed by Signos or as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, Signos may not retain your personal information and non-personal information for any period of time longer than is permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, in consideration of any restrictions or requirements to destroy personal and/or non-personal information after a reasonable period following the time that any such information is no longer needed for a business purpose under the SHIELD Act or any other applicable federal or state law).

Third Party Applications and Networks.

The Site, the App and/or any communications sent through or as a function of the Site and/or the App might contain links to third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and/or applications, including, without limitation, DexCom, Inc. (“DexCom”). Third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and/or applications (including any of the foregoing in relation to DexCom) might also contain links to the Site and/or the App.

In addition, you might have the opportunity to access the Site and/or the App using your online user accounts with certain third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications, which might be subject to separate privacy policies pertaining to those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing in relation to DexCom). Signos might also collect information from those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications (such as, for example, your name, gender, date of birth and personal interests, when you “like” or click links provided by or through those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers, or applications and other information available through your online account or page with those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications).

Moreover, Signos might permit third parties to use their own tracking, data aggregation and/or data analysis technologies like the ones described above (e.g., third-party cookies). The use of information received from Health Connect will adhere to the Health Connect Permissions Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Signos is not responsible for, and you hereby release Signos from any and all liability which may arise from, such third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and applications (including, without limitation, the privacy policies and practices of such third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and applications, including any of the foregoing in relation to DexCom).It is your responsibility, and your responsibility alone, to carefully read, accept and comply with any and all relevant terms of use, waivers, and privacy policies associated with those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and applications (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing in relation to DexCom).

Security.

Signos implements security measures to help protect the personal information it collects through the Site and/or the App. For example, Signos may encrypt the transmission of information through the Site and/or the App by using secure socket layer (SSL) technology.

Regardless of the foregoing, please observe that “perfect” or “100%” security does not exist on the Internet.  Therefore, your access and use of the Site or the App, and your opening of any communications sent through or as a function of the Site or the App, are done at your own risk.

To help maintain the security of your personal information, Signos asks that you please notify it immediately of any unauthorized visit, access or use of the Site and/or the App, or the loss or unauthorized use of your user access information for the Site and/or the App (e.g., username or password).

Retention, Review, and Change of Information Collected.

If you are a participant in clinical research activities, records generated by the site and app that contain your personal information are subject to access, maintenance, retention, use, disclosure, and amendment rules and procedures as required by certain clinical trial protocols to which you have agreed.  For information concerning your rights and our obligations in this regard, please reference the informed consent documentation you signed in connection with participating in the clinical trial.

Further, Signos does not respond to “do not track” (DNT) signals.

Finally, as explained further above, Signos does not authorize third parties to collect your personal information when you use the Site and/or the App, except as expressly stated in this Privacy Policy.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Signos is not responsible for, and you hereby release Signos from any and all liability which may arise from, such third parties’ unauthorized collection of your personal information.

Signos, the Site, and the App are operated in the United States. Please be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, processed, maintained, and used on computers, services, and systems located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your country of origin. If you are located outside of the United States and choose to use the Site and/or the App, then you do so at your own risk.
