TO CONDUCT RESEARCH
Women’s health is important to Lady Technologies and we invest in scientific research in sexual and reproductive health in order to advance women’s health. We also conduct research for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness and suitability of the App for different user groups. Thirdly we use the results of our research to communicate the benefits and limitations of kegg to healthcare professionals.
If we have your consent, we may use the data that we collect or that you provide in pseudonymized form whenever possible for clinical studies, scientific articles and other research purposes as may be disclosed when your data are collected. “Pseudonymized” means that identifying information is replaced with something else so that additional information is needed to re-identify an individual. However, personal data is anonymized and aggregated before any such publications are shared outside of Lady Technologies. We may also contact you with requests to participate in specific research projects run by us or our business partners.
MARKETING
We use identity, contact, and data that we collect about our users of the App to send you newsletters and other marketing communications (e.g. push notifications regarding kegg and our Services, including campaigns and offers). We also process user data to conduct internal usage analysis for the purpose of creating and sending relevant messages about our products. Some marketing data is collected by using cookies. These cookies include third party services that may collect information about your visits to our site for analytics, retargeting and conversion tracking purposes. More information about cookies and related technology is provided below.
We also use tools that help us identify and reach out to existing and new customers, by matching cookies, device identifiers and hashed (a pseudonymisation technique) email addresses of people who have been using our Services with people on social media platforms to create so called “Custom Audiences” (this enables us to send targeted ads to people who have been using our Services), and “Lookalike Audiences” (this enables us to send targeted ads to people who have similar traits to our Custom Audience). The social media platforms will not share the hashed email address with third parties or other advertisers and will delete it promptly after the match process is complete. Please note that we do not share any Sensitive Data or group users based on sensitive data for the purpose of Custom and Lookalike Audiences.
You may also be contacted and enabled to complete surveys or take part in interviews for marketing purposes. We will process the profile data that you provide in such surveys and interviews to analyze user preferences, improve and assess the effectiveness of marketing activities, use as marketing material or other promotional purposes as disclosed when your personal data are collected. Participation in surveys and interviews is voluntary.
You always have the right to opt-out of receiving marketing communication or having your data processed to identify Custom and Lookalike Audiences from us by opting out, by contacting us at support@kegg.tech.
