Some of the Apps or websites may not process every category of personal data listed above. This will be clear if and when it applies (e.g. if not asked for your email address, it is not being processed).

Necessary for performance of contract

We process some of your personal data because it is necessary for the performance of a contract we have with you or it is necessary prior to entering into such a contract. If you do not wish to provide a nickname or email for example, we cannot create your account and you will be unable to avail of certain features. It should be noted, however, that not every app will process this data.

Changes to Personal Data

It is important that the personal data we have in relation to you is current and accurate. If your personal data (e.g. email address) changes during our relationship please inform us promptly. If, for whatever reason, your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete you have the right for this to be corrected or completed.

Unprompted Health Data

Although some of our Apps do not directly prompt or encourage you to input health data, you may wish to still provide such data. Often this data is not collected for storage or any other purposes, but instead, stored locally on your device terminal. The same applies to our expenditure and budgeting apps, despite the fact health spending may exist as a default spending category.

Some of the Apps provide the option to back up your data with iCloud, for more information on how Apple processes your personal data see Apple's Privacy Policy. The option to synchronise data across devices using Google Drive or Dropbox may also be provided, please refer to their privacy policies:
