Privacy is a fundamental human right. For this reason, we have developed Cori to be as respectful as possible of your privacy, intimacy, and personal data. Your data belongs to you, and with Cori, you have full control over it.

In this privacy policy, we will explain what personal data we process, how we process it, how we comply with the principles and obligations established by the regulations, and what your rights are concerning data protection.

2. Who are we?

Cori is an application that has been developed by the commercial company CORI HEALTH & CARE, S.L.U., with Tax Identification Number (NIF) B01740364, and domiciled in Spain, at Diputación Foral de Álava 4, 3rd Floor, Postal Code 01001 in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Álava).

CORI HEALTH & CARE, S.L.U. is registered in the Álava Commercial Registry, Volume 1705, Folio 221, Sheet VI-20033, First Entry.

In accordance with the above, we inform you that, from a data protection regulatory perspective, the data controller is the company, with the details previously provided.

3. What data do we process about you?

Cori is a non-medical application that allows you to monitor your diabetes through glucose, daily activity, sleep, and exercise. To use the application, it is essential to create a user account. All personal data manually or automatically entered into the application belong to the USER, who has the freedom to exercise all rights established by law.

3.1. Apple Health Data

Cori uses the APIs provided by Apple to read and/or write data found in the Apple Health application (https://www.apple.com/lae/privacy/) on your device. Specifically, for proper functioning, Cori requires reading:

  • Activity.
  • Height.

  • Aerobic capacity.
  • Walking/running distance.
  • Biking distance.
  • Snow sports distance.
  • Wheelchair distance.
  • Activity energy.
  • Workouts.
  • Walking stability.
  • Birthdate.
  • Heart rate.
  • Resting heart rate.

  • Floors climbed.
  • Biking power.
  • Workout routes.
  • Gender.

It also requires write access for:

  • Walking/running distance.
  • Activity energy.
  • Workouts.
  • Heart rate.
  • Floors climbed.
  • Workout routes.
  • Heart rate variability.

Apple Health data will only be used to visualize movement, sleep, or exercise in relation to the App. In any case, they will not be used for marketing, advertising, or data extraction based on use, even by third parties.

Cori cannot read and/or write to Apple Health without your explicit consent. Once access is granted, the app can save this information on cloud servers contracted by CORI HEALTH & CARE, S.L.U. to provide functionalities described in the product sheet, such as cloud synchronization, among others.

You can find more information about Apple Health at the following link: https://support.apple.com/es-es/guide/iphone/iphbb8259c61/16.0/ios/16.0

3.2. Location Data

If you view and/or record your outdoor workouts with Cori, we can use your location data to show you a map of your workout route.

Cori cannot access your location data without your explicit consent. The application accesses your location data locally during the workout and/or when reading workout routes from Apple Health. It can access them as long as the user grants permission as described in point 3.2.

In any case, they will not be used for marketing, advertising, or data extraction based on use, even by third parties.

3.3. Other Personal Data

Cori collects other personal data, such as medication, your movement goals, training plans, streaks, and/or achievements to facilitate the proper functioning of the application and all its functionalities. These data are stored locally on your device and on cloud servers contracted by CORI HEALTH & CARE, S.L.U.

For this, we use MongoDB, where data is transferred securely and encrypted according to industry standards. MongoDB is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Shield Framework. When a user creates their account, they are assigned a random ID, allowing the information to be stored anonymously in the database.

These anonymous data may be used to help us create, develop, deliver, protect, and improve our products, services, and content.

In this regard, it is important to note that to use Cori, it is essential to have a user account. Thus, if the USER loses access to their password, cannot recover it, and/or cannot access their Apple or Google account (if using them as authentication methods), they may lose access to all their information.

You can consult MongoDB’s privacy policy at this link: https://www.mongodb.com/legal/privacy

3.4. Technical and Usage Data

Lastly, we use analytics services on the use made by Cori users, which allows us to detect and identify improvements to be made in the App. For this, we use TelemetryDeck and RevenueCat, although the data collected by these services are completely anonymous. When a user installs the app, TelemetryDeck and RevenueCat assign each user a random and anonymous ID, without us knowing the real identity of that user. This way, we can know, for example, that a user ID has subscribed to Cori or the sessions carried out in a day.

4. Principles related to processing according to the General Data Protection Regulation

At CORI HEALTH & CARE, S.L.U., we are clear that the most important thing is the privacy of Cori users. Therefore, from the beginning, we have conceived and developed it taking into account compliance with the principles required by the General Data Protection Regulation. But how do we comply with these principles? We explain it below:

  1. Principle of lawfulness, loyalty, and transparency: Through this privacy policy, we offer detailed and transparent information about the treatment we give to the personal data of Cori users, always based on the existence of a legal basis that legitimizes the processing of personal data.
  2. Purpose limitation principle: All data is stored anonymously in the database, using the random ID assigned to each user when creating their account. We only use anonymous user data to develop, protect, and improve our products, services, and content.
  3. Data minimization principle: We collect the minimum essential data for the proper functioning of the application, with the user having the ability to grant or not such information, as well as the ability to delete it.
  4. Accuracy principle: The user can create, view, update, and delete their data whenever they consider, being able to keep them up to date.
  5. Storage limitation principle: This principle, which requires that personal data not be retained in a way that allows the identification of the subjects for longer than necessary for the purposes of processing personal data, can, however, be retained for longer periods as long as they are treated exclusively for archiving in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes. We do not process personal data from Cori users, we only have anonymized data to detect areas of improvement, keeping them only for the necessary period to analyze and, if applicable, implement them, subsequently proceeding to their deletion.
  6. Integrity and confidentiality principle: At CORI HEALTH & CARE, S.L.U., we apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure adequate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against its loss, destruction, or accidental damage. To determine the security measures we apply, we conduct risk assessments, which we review periodically. We also guarantee the confidentiality of our information to which all persons and third parties who provide us with services in one way or another have access, signing the corresponding confidentiality agreement.
  7. Principle of proactive responsibility: In addition to applying technical and organizational security measures, we document and review them to ensure and prove that the treatments we carry out comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation.

5. Data Protection by Design and by Default

At CORI HEALTH & CARE, S.L.U., we were clear from the outset that the privacy of Cori users would be of utmost importance. Therefore, for us, complying with this principle of data protection by design and by default presents no problem.

From the initial conception and subsequent development, we considered this principle and decided that, by default, Coriwould allow the processing of the minimum data necessary for the user to monitor their health. These data are stored on cloud servers that comply with all the security and privacy requirements established by current law.

On our part, we have implemented measures aimed at complying with this principle and the other obligations established by the General Data Protection Regulation. As a result, the only data we process are anonymous data (not linked to users but to random identifiers), usage and interaction data with Cori, all for analytical purposes aimed at developing, protecting, and improving our products, services, and content.

6. Security

One of the most important premises for us, alongside the privacy of Cori users, is security. Therefore, we implement the highest security measures within our reach and permitted by existing technology at any given time. Additionally, we conduct periodic reviews to enhance the security of the app.

In any case, Cori meets the requirements set by Apple for developers in terms of security measures.

7. Information on the Processing of Personal Data
