We guarantee fair and transparent data processing
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.
Processing of personal data
Use of Howdy
It is voluntary for you to use Howdy.
Howdy includes one or more modules depending on the choice of your employer. The modules can be health related such as well-being scales (Howdy Well-being)and scales of physical pain (Howdy Body) but can also be used to gather other (organisational) feedback. It is your employer who decides what questions you are asked as a user. Before you receive the questions you will be met with a short introduction. Your answers to the questions are only passed on to your employer in an anonymized form.
When you are using Howdy
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:
- General personal data consisting of contact information;
- Sensitive personal data, consisting of health information about well-being, pains etc. and other health relations;
- Answers to different questions your employer finds relevant;
- Organisational information, consisting of title, position etc.
The sensitive information we record, you have entered into Howdy yourself.
Email, text-messages and push-messages
You are automatically signed up for our “Reminder-engine” that ensures the paramount proactive intervention. 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.
We gather and store your personal data for certain purposes
Depending on which modules your employer has chosen, we gather and store your personal data for those purposes the modules support, for instance by monitoring your well-being at your workplace, pains etc. and other health relations.
We gather your information from professionally relevant question frames depending on the services that your employer wishes to utilise. This can for instance be well-being on the basis of the WHO-5 question frame and attempting to map your level of well-being on the basis of your answers. We can build on and expand these services within the purpose of Howdy.
The characteristics of the passed on information
Your employer has chosen how they would like to receive statistics through Howdy. All information passed on to your employer will only be passed on in anonymized form and as a part of statistical records. It is very important to us that your employer cannot identify the person behind a well-being report.
Your employer will receive anonymous reports containing an overview of the well-being level in the entire company or a specific department.
The employer can also receive a statistical, anonymized report where at least 5 respondents must be invited to provide information through Howdy. In this report your employer will receive statistical information based on a “traffic light” indicator of green, yellow and red. It is also evident if some answers have not been submitted, but not who that has not submitted answers.
We only process relevant personal data
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 only process necessary personal data
We gather, process and store only the personal data that is necessary in relation to meeting our set purposes.
We verify and update your personal data
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.
Furthermore, we receive any updates to your contact information and organisational relation from your employer.
We anonymize your personal data when it is no longer necessary to us
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 have unsubscribed from Howdy; (Thereafter, we only have your contact information, which we process according to our collaboration-agreement with your employer. If you have any questions to this processing you should address your employer);
- We have received notice from your employer that you have resigned. In the case that your employer terminates the agreement with us we immediately after the termination anonymize all personally identifiable data.
We collect your consent before processing your personal data
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. A withdrawal of consent will imply that we can no longer deliver our services to you.
We do not pass on your personal data without your consent
We do not pass on your information in personally identifiable form to anyone without your consent, including use in marketing.
We do not pass your personal information in personally identifiable form on to your employer.
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
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 health related counceling, we will inform you of this with a recommendation for you to reach out to your available health care.
It is necessary for us to utilise profiling to be able to give you the full benefits of Howdy.
