When asking you to provide us with your personal data, we inform you of which of your personal data we are processing and for what purpose. You receive this information through these Terms at the time of gathering of your personal data.
It is voluntary for you to use Howdy.
Howdy includes one or more modules depending on the choice you make. The modules can be health related such as wellbeing scales (Howdy Wellbeing)and scales of physical pain (Howdy Body) but can also be used to gather other feedback. Some of our modules additionally include a proactive Response Team, who contacts you with the objective of advising you on how you can seek help, if you from your answers in Howdy are considered to have low wellbeing, are experiencing pain or in any other way are qualified to be contacted by the Response Team. To do this we gather different relevant information from you, for instance about your general wellbeing.
We utilise your personal data to deliver the best services to you through Howdy, improve our service and guarantee quality.
The personal data we utilise includes:
The sensitive information we record, you have either entered into Howdy or given to our Response Team during the phone conversations, that you accept to have with the Response Team. You can always announce at the beginning of a phone conversation that you don’t wish to share your information us.
You are automatically signed up for our “Reminder-engine” that ensures the paramount proactive action. The Reminder-engine will give you a notification when it is time to provide Howdy with your answers. Your information will not be used for marketing purposes.
Depending on which modules you have chosen, we gather and store your personal data for those purposes the modules support, for instance by monitoring your wellbeing, pain etc. and other health relations.
We gather your information from professionally relevant question frames depending on the services that you wish to utilise. This can for instance be wellbeing on the basis of the WHO-5 question frame and attempting to map your level of wellbeing on the basis of your answers. We can build on and expand these services within the purpose of Howdy.
To deliver our services to you it is necessary to be able to pass on relevant personal information about you to our Response team. The categories of recipients in the Response team include the following professional personnel:
The purpose of passing on your personal data is that our Response teams – on the basis of your information – can contact and advice you.
All persons staffing our different Response teams have a duty of professional secrecy and confidentiality.
All information passed on will only be passed on in anonymized form and as a part of statistical records. It is very important to us that you cannot be identified.
We process the personal data about you that are relevant and sufficient in terms of the purposes defined above. We do not use any other personal data than what we need for the specific purpose.
We gather, process and store only the personal data that is necessary in relation to meeting our set purposes.
We must ensure that the part of your personal data we store is correct and if needed, updated. As our service is depending on the fact that your personal data is correct and updated, we ask you to register any updates through the self-service in Howdy.
We anonymize your personal data when it is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose of which we gathered, processed and stored it.
We anonymize all personally identifiable information immediately after you cancel your subscription with us:
We collect your consent before processing your personal data for the purposes described above.
You will receive a copy of your consent on email, so you can always familiarise yourself with what you have consented to. You can at any given time by sending an email to opt-out@worklifebarometer.com withdraw your consent to the fact that we can process your personally identifiable information.

By consenting to use Howdy you concurrently give us permission to pass on your information to our Response teams.
Besides that, we do not pass on your information in personally identifiable form to anyone without your consent, including use in marketing.
However, we do not collect your consent if we are legally obliged to pass on your personal data, for instance as part of a reporting to an authority.
We use the gathered information to improve our service offerings and in anonymized form for scientific and statistical purposes, where data from many users is included.
We utilise profiling to offer the different services in Howdy. Profiling is done by an automated run-through of your answers and awarded points. Where possible we use an underlying professional frame of reference, such as the WHO-5 to measure well-being and calculate a well-being score.
If the profiling of your answers uncovers a need for contact, our Response team will conduct an individual and specific evaluation of your information and will on that basis decide if there is a need for counselling from a health professional.
It is our Response team who conducts a professional evaluation of the information you provide us and converts your information into causation codes and notes that are stored in our database.
It is necessary for us to utilise profiling to be able to give you the full benefits of Howdy.
As a data processor we have taken the necessary technical and organisational security measures against the information – obtained from you – being accidentally or illegally destroyed or are lost or altered, as well as against unauthorized disclosure, abuse or other processing in violation of the law concerning the protection of personal data.
