This Privacy Policy describes why, how and when we collect and use your information across our websites, email notifications, applications (Fever Scout and Multi Vital Monitor), and services.

Definitions

For EU data subjects: Our privacy policy is intended to be simple and understandable for everyone. As a rule, the official terms of the GDPR are used in this privacy policy. The official definitions are explained in Article 4 GDPR.

What data do we collect?

Vivalink collects the following data across our website, application and services:

For mobile phones prior to Android 12, Fever Scout uses location permissions to keep the temperature sensor connected even when the app is in the background. The location data is solely used within the app and data is not shared with third parties, except where required by law. The user can control the app's access to location permission through your device settings.

How do we collect your data?

  • Register online or signup for any of our applications or services.
  • Use Vivalink applications to provide the data
  • Use our mobile applications via a mobile device

Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. In the case we process your personal data on the grounds of our legitimate interest, you can object to the processing of your personal data at any time.
