Terra End User Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 20th April 2023

OverviewAt Terra, the privacy and safety of your health data are paramount. One of our core principles is transparency and through this End User Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we seek to clearly explain how Terra collects, uses, shares, and processes your data. When you (”the end user”) use Terra to connect your wearables and other health devices (collectively “wearables”) to applications (”apps”), these apps are built by our customers (”developers”) and driven by Terra's platform. By using Terra, our customers can easily integrate your wearable data into their apps.This Policy applies to Terra Enabling Developers Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including Terra Enabling Developers Ltd. (collectively, “Terra,” “we,” “our,” and “us”). It does not include how developers of connected apps (”apps you have connected wearables to using Terra”) use, share, or process your data. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies and terms of service of connected apps; doing so will help you understand how your data is ultimately used, stored, and protected. This Policy does not include data we collect when you visit our website or interact with Terra outside of using our product or services. For more detail, see the legal section of our website at https://tryterra.co/legal. Finally, please read this Policy carefully; it's important that you understand how we handle your data and your privacy rights.

Data UsageThis section explains how we use your data once we have collected it. Our primary goal is to unify the world’s fragmented wearable data, and your data plays a crucial role in achieving that objective. We handle your information responsibly and are committed to helping you understand how we use it. The following describes and categorises how we use the data we have collected:Deliver Services: to manage, supply, and uphold our service offerings;Service Enhancement: to refine, strengthen, and extend our service offerings;Aid Assistance: to offer assistance to you or developers. This includes helping to resolve queries related to Terra's services or developers' applications;Product Development: to create new products and services;Generate insights: by analysing the data we've collected, we generate insights. These insights assist connected app developers in offering improved services or enhancing user experiences;Create visualisations: with the data we've collected, we create charts and visualisations for our developers to enhance user experiences;Investigating Misuse and Misbehaviour: we may examine any improper use of our services or developers' applications, including policy violations, illicit activities, or unauthorised service access;Consent-Based Usage: only with your explicit approval, we may use your information for other specified purposes or as directed by you.Real-Time Streaming FunctionalityTerra’s service offers real-time streaming functionality, which allows your wearable and health data to be transmitted to connected apps instantly upon generation. This feature enables apps to provide you with up-to-date and dynamic insights, and it allows apps to offer highly personalised user experiences based on your current data. When you use our services and grant permission for an app to access your data, please be aware that your information, potentially including all applicable data types mentioned in the ‘Data Collection’ section of this Policy except location data may be streamed in real-time to connected apps.For more details about data usage, please see the table at the end of this Policy that visualises how we may use data types.
Data SharingThis section of the Policy outlines the categories of third parties with whom we may share your information to give you a clear understanding of how your data may be disclosed to others. We may share you data with:Developer(s) of the app(s) you use, and as directed by the developer(s). These developers are our customers; they use Terra to easily integrate many wearables into the apps they built and that you use;Wearable or health data providers that you have connected to apps using Terra; Contractors that perform services for Terra or Terra’s employees;Communication platform providers which facilitate communication and data transfer between Terra's employees and between Terra and our customers. These platforms may act as intermediaries in the data-sharing process, even if they cannot access the content of the messages directly;Service providers that help Terra analyse data for Terra's business purposes. These platforms may help us track our customers’ engagement and behaviour, identify trends in data, and visualise data;Cloud storage services providers that offer remote data storage solutions over the internet that allow us to store, manage, and/or access collected data in a secure and scalable environment;Software development services providers that assist with software maintenance, software testing, quality assurance, and application support, among other things;Terra group entities and/or subsidiaries that are wholly owned by Terra Enabling Developers, Inc., such as Terra Enabling Developers Ltd., our UK-based subsidiary;Third parties to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on Terra; to protect or defend the rights or property of Terra or users of the Services; to investigate or assist in preventing any violation or potential violation of the law, this End User Privacy Policy, or our Terms of Service. For example, law enforcement or other governmental authorities.Corporate RestructuringWe may share some or all of your data in connection with or during the negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition or dissolution, transaction or proceeding involving the sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets. In the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, data may also be transferred as a business asset. If another company acquires Terra, our business, or assets, that company will possess the data collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your data described in this End User Privacy Policy.
Our Retention and Deletion PracticesThis section covers our retention and deletion practices, which are designed to reduce data retention periods to the minimum required time to deliver our services to our customers successfully.To offer our services, it’s necessary for us to retain your data for a short period. Usually, your data is retained for two days after the point of collection and then automatically deleted. Two days is the minimum retention period required for us to serve daily data to all time zones. However, in rare cases, your data may be retained for up to 6 months, as some of our wearable partners require us to store data to offer our services. None of your data will be stored in our databases for longer than six months from the point of collection. We do not review the data we hold periodically to ensure it is still needed to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. This is because we only retain data for the minimum required period, and it’s not in our best interests to store data longer than necessary. If an app you have connected your wearable(s) to using Terra ceases to be a customer of Terra, your data will normally be deleted after two days. But, in this scenario, it’s possible we may retain your data for up to six months from the point of collection.If the connection between your wearable(s) and the app you use is terminated by the app’s developers, through your instruction or not, all your data stored by us will usually be immediately deleted. Exceptions to this normality include but are not limited to:

There is a functioning connection established by Terra between your wearable(s) and another app;

The law compels Terra to keep your data;

Separately from the acceptance of this policy, you grant us permission to retain your data for longer than six months;

We need your data to aid our anti-fraud efforts or investigations into misuse and misconduct.

Protection of DataTerra is committed to protecting the security of your data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your data from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. We do not use or store your data in non-production systems or environments. This means your data is not used or stored using technology not meant for live use of our services, such as systems or environments used for testing, staging, and development. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while Terra uses reasonable efforts to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
International Data TransfersPlease note that our data processing takes place mainly in the United Kingdom. As such, our Services are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom. If you use our Services, your data will be subject to United Kingdom law and processed in the United Kingdom or in other countries. To operate our services, we may transmit your data internationally. We take steps to ensure the safety of your data should it be transferred internationally. We employ HTTPS encryption when transmitting your data between servers, regardless of their location. This ensures your data remains secure and protected from theft, tampering, or other threats during transit.
