SalivaCODE™

Downloaded app in appstore

SalivaCODE™ App
SalivaCODE™ App is an interactive electronic instruction for use and accessibility option, in addition to the paper-based package insert Instructions For Use that comes with the SalivaPod™.

SalivaCODE™ App is not an app for diagnostics, but merely an interactive instruction manual to properly standardize and perform saliva collection and short-term storage to prepare for a diagnostic analysis as a next step. The SalivaPOD™ does NOT provide or perform any form of analysis of saliva.

SalivaCODE™ App Data processing
When choosing to log into the SalivaCODE App with the two-step authentication step and password, the user registers its own Phone number, Name, Social Security Number (SSN), nationality, gender and address. If relevant, the phone user may also enter the Name, Social Security Number (SSN), nationality, gender and address of its children. The registered information is securely stored locally on the device as long as you are logged in, this information is also synchronized to the webserver.

If using the SalivaCODE App to register a saliva sample for analysis, the user accepts that the chosen name, SSN, nationality, gender, address and phone is sent encrypted to a cloud-based server and linked to the scanned QR code on the SalivaPOD device. The user also accepts that the linked information can be retrieved by a healthcare worker to identify the sample at a later step in the delivery process towards final analysis. The linked information is removed permanently from the server within 7 days after the QR-code is scanned by a healthcare worker.

Cohorts

If the user chooses to link itself to a Cohort QR Code, the user accepts that the presence of one person is listed by name, timestamp of last sample and timestamp of cohort registration only onto the control panel of the cohort owner who sent or displayed the Cohort QR Code. SMS messages can be sent from the Cohort Owner to the registered person’s phone, but no information about SSN, gender, nationality, address or phone number is presented to the Cohort Owner.

No clinical result from the analysis is linked to the QR code at any time.

All information and links between Device QR Code and Name/SSN is deleted permanently from the cloud-based server 7 days after the initial registration of the sample.

Camera use in SalivaCODE™ App
The camera only acts as a code scanner. No photos are saved. The scanned code is stored locally on the phone. As a counterfeit procedure, this code is used to verify that you are in possession of a genuine device relating to the specific instructions for use.

Camera roll use in SalivaCODE™ App
The app can scan Cohort- QR-codes. If the user accepts access to the phones camera roll, the app will scan the selected image for QR-codes, if the image contain a valid QR-code, the code is stored. The image is not further processed or stored. The original image will not be modified in any way

SalivaCHECQR

The application only returns a value (red or green colour) to indicate whether a person has been linked with the unique QR code of a SalivaPOD through the SalivaCODE App. No information is traceable, and no information is stored.

  1. Cookies and Other Technologies

We sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to our site to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit and we also measure visitor activity on the ConceptoMed websites, but we do so in ways that keep information anonymous. We use the information that we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different areas of our site, and to help us make the site more useful to visitors. This includes analysing these logs periodically to measure the traffic through our servers, the number of pages visited and the level of demand for pages and topics of interest. The logs may be preserved indefinitely and used at any time and in any way to prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the data on our servers.

We collect the anonymous information we mentioned above through the use of various technologies, one of which is called “cookies”. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive. For example, on a website with a login system (if users register for it), cookies are used to save the visitor’s password so that it does not have to be entered at each new visit.

This anonymous information is used and analysed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. None of this information is reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want any transaction details used in this manner, you can disable your cookies.

  • Request correction of the personal data. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You can also to ask us to delete your personal data where you have successfully objected to the processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to delete the data for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
