  7. 7. Storage and Security of Information

    The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We endeavour to follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and in storage. For example, when you enter sensitive information on our Site, we encrypt that information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

    We store and process your information on our servers in Kenya, the United Kingdom and abroad. We maintain industry standard backup and archival systems.

    Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. If you access your account via a third-party site or service, you may have additional or different sign-on protections via that third-party site or service. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.

    Although we make good faith efforts to store Personal Information in a secure operating environment that is not open to the public, we do not and cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information. If at any time during or after our relationship we believe that the security of your Personal Information may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we will endeavour to notify you as promptly as possible under the circumstances. If we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail to the most recent e-mail address you have provided us in your account profile. Please keep your e-mail address in your account up to date which can be updated at anytime in your account profile.

In some cases, we retain Personal Information for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, prevent fraud, enforce the Agreement, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Afterwards, we retain some information in a depersonalized or aggregated form but not in a way that would identify you personally.

  11. 11. Other Web Services

    The Services contain links to or embedded content from third party web services. A link to or embedded content from a non-My 1Health web service does not mean that we endorse that service, the quality or accuracy of information presented on the non-My 1Health service or the persons or entities associated with the non-My 1Health service. If you decide to visit a third-party web service, you are subject to the privacy policy and Terms of Use of the third-party web service as applicable and we are not responsible for the policies and practices of the third-party web service. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your information to others.

The presence of such links or content on third-party web services does not mean that we endorse that web service, the quality or accuracy of information presented on the non-My 1Health web service or the persons or entities associated with the non-My 1Health web service. You may be subject to the privacy policy of the third-party web service as applicable and we are not responsible for the policies and practices of the third-party web services. In addition, the policies and practices of third parties do not apply to your information, including Personal Information, obtained pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

  13. 13. Healthcare Service Providers and Their Obligations

    My 1Health will share basic Personal Information on the user with the Healthcare Providers who you elect to visit for an appointment through the Service. This ensures that an appointment can be booked at your preferred time and date. These Healthcare Service Providers may need to collect additional Personal Information from you to build a medical history while carrying out their duties.

    The Healthcare Provider is required to obtain consent from the patient in person during their initial consultation, to allow the Healthcare Provider to collect and store Personal Information, Medical History and other Information as needed, on the patient. The Healthcare Provider will not share this information with us or anyone else without the prior approval of the patient. My 1Health is in no way responsible for obtaining this approval for the Healthcare Provider and is in no way liable for any data collected by the Healthcare Provider.
