If you sign up for the newsletter
Clear.bio processes your first name and email address to send the newsletter. Clear.bio obtains your personal data because you disclose it to it yourself. We keep your data until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and can use this data for a personal follow-up by email. We never share your data with third parties.
If you register as a healthcare provider
Clear.bio processes your name and address and contact details so that we can register you for the application and send you associated information. Clear.bio also processes any contact details such as name and address of the practice. When you register as a healthcare provider, we will also automatically register you for the newsletter. We keep your data until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and can use this data for a personal follow-up by email.
As a healthcare provider you have access to the (medical) information of clients. That is why we conclude a contract with you. In addition to you, the employees within the dietician and support team also have access to this data. This data is generated by the Sensor (separate terms apply when using the FreeStyle LibreLink app) and is automatically forwarded to Clear.bio via a third party (Vital). With this data processor, as with any partner, we have a signed processing agreement. The logged meals, activities (including exercise), drinks, supplements are also visible to employees within the dietician and support team. We use this data to provide you with our services, such as (if applicable) support or nutritional information for your clients.
After the contract expires, we deny access to a client’s data. For more information, read our Terms and Conditions Clear.bio Portal. We periodically assess whether there is a valid reason for storing data. If this is missing, our retention obligation ends and we destroy the data.
We will keep your contact details for the purpose of informing you about any developments within Clear.bio outside the newsletters. If you do not appreciate this, you can unsubscribe via your contact person within Clear.bio or by sending an email to privacy@clear.bio.
No third parties for healthcare data
We do not share your personal information and will never share it with third parties. Your personal data, including glucose sensor data, nutritional and physical activity data, and any relevant medical information you have chosen to share with us, always remains within Clear.bio and is stored encrypted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
