What data do we process when you use the OffGrid Digital Front Door Service?

OffGrid Digital front door application allows your Health System to triage you and your dependents to authorised care and support resources. The service redirects you to authorised support resources based on your country, service group, language choice, support choice and self-reported mood assessments. Support resources include the Health System’s EAP, the OffGrid Platform and other Health System provided services. Access to the OffGrid front door service will be via your Health System provided Single Sign-on (SSO) mechanism. Where required and on behalf of your Health System, we may integrate our Platform and Services with your Health System’s authentication mechanism such as Single Sign On (SSO). SSO enables you to use your Health System credentials to sign-in and access authorised OffGrid Platform and Services and other third-party services. OffGrid Platform will redirect you to your Health System’s SSO web page during your first access. The SSO processing is done by your Health System to verify your identity and direct you to the OffGrid Platform. Your personal information, submitted during sign-in, is not transferred or stored in the OffGrid system. OffGrid will receive a one-time unique and encrypted identifier, which will be used to generate a random user identifier to associate you to the Platform and Services. OffGrid will keep track of your login status and inform your Health System of any change to allow your Health System to manage future SSO requests. If you have any questions about your use of SSO please contact your Health System directly. No personal data is collected or processed during your use of the OffGrid digital front door application and service.

Where required, OffGrid will integrate with your Health System authorised information systems to process and transfer contracted data.

We will also generate reports for your Health System. Only aggregated and anonymised data, at a population or cohort level, will be used for the Health System’s reporting needs. These reports will be generated and shared with your Health System as downloadable files via secure analytic dashboards.

How do we secure your data?

The security of your data is very important to us, and we work hard to secure it. We have implemented adequate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data. Some of the steps we have taken to secure your data include:

Privacy by Design and Default

There is minimal user registration required. We don’t need much hence we don’t ask for it.
A nickname is generally sufficient to help us personalize our conversation with you.
We use pseudonymised identifiers to protect your data and identity.
No human eavesdrops during your conversation with the MY-SYNC Avatar.
The MY-SYNC Avatar will always check if it has understood you correctly before progressing.
We use algorithms that irreversibly redact any inadvertent personal identifiers entered in English.
You can opt-out at any time using the “reset my data” feature available in the Platform settings.
We adhere to the 7 key principles set out by GDPR (see here).
We perform Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for personal data processing.

Security by Design

We use TLS and SSL encryption during transfer and AES-256 protocol at rest.
Random identifiers are used for all data transactions between MY-SYNC Avatar and our servers.
Our systems are secured with role-based access, strong passwords and two-step verification.
We enable endpoint security in all staff systems.
We review and maintain data processing agreements with our service providers.
We have a strict hiring and background verification process in place.
We provide regular awareness and training to our staff.
We conduct annual 3rd party compliance audits and data protection certifications.
We perform regular penetration tests of our Platform and Infrastructure.
We conduct regular checks to ensure compliance to our policies.

No method of electronic transmission or method of data storage is perfect or impenetrable. While we try our best to implement controls to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. To ensure your data is secure, we require your cooperation as well. Please do not copy and share your conversations with unknown people.

How does the Artificial Intelligence MY-SYNC Avatar work and is it safe to use?

At OffGrid, we use proprietary generational Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Model (LLM) algorithms (“AI”) to understand your messages. LLM algorithms are classification techniques that are used to understand what you write. This allows the AI to maintain a conversation with you and guide you to appropriate resources. Our values require that our AI used within the Platform is transparent, trusted, safe and privacy protecting. All the AI used in our Platform are “FIXED” or “CLOSED”, and all chatbot responses to the user are created with clinical input and subjected to detailed safety testing before being deployed.

The primary purpose of the AI-based processing is

to provide an interactive safe-by-design approach to converse and journal via text with the chatbot.
to detect and retain limited context from your messages to personalize and provide empathetic and safe conversations.
to detect at-risk situations, such as any SOS, self-harm and abuse triggers, so as to signpost users to clinically validated supportive resources and helplines.

With limited regulation in the US, OffGrid complies with UK NHS Digital’s DCB 0129 clinical risk management standards to ensure a safe-by-design approach to our AI-based services.

How long do we retain your data including personal data?

We have built proprietary algorithms that detect personal identifiers, that you may voluntarily submit during your conversation with MY-SYNC Avatar. These detected identifiers get irreversibly removed within 24 hours within our system.

We may retain one copy of your data even after your subscription ends or Health System contract ends if it is reasonably necessary. This could be in any of the following situations:

to comply with applicable legal and statutory requirements;
at the request of a returning subscriber;
to respond to your requests
based on contractual obligations with your Health System;
in our backup for a time-bound period;
to fulfil processing that is in our legitimate interest.

Where not specified we may retain your data for 7 years since the last update and as per our internal information retention policies.

Your emergency contact information, if any provided, will be deleted after fifteen (15) days at the end of the OffGrid well-being professional subscription. If you renew the subscription within those fifteen (15) days, the emergency contact information will not be deleted.

You can also, at any point of time, delete all your conversation data and any emergency contact information provided by using the “reset my data” feature available in the Platform settings. Refer here in our policy for more details.

International transfer of personal data outside of the country you reside in or are currently located

You understand and agree that we may transfer, store and process your submitted data to a third-party processor. These processors may be based in countries other than the country where you reside. These could be countries where data protection laws may be less stringent than those from the originating country. We take additional steps in an effort to ensure our international transfer of data is consistent with applicable data protection laws.

Where we transfer data from the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom we use appropriate safeguards. This includes use of EU / UK Standard Contractual Clauses and UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) within the Data Processing Agreements.

Minimal data may be transferred across OffGrid company locations to provide our Services. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect such transfers.

If you have additional questions about our international transfers of personal data, please contact us at [email protected].

What are your data protection rights?

You have certain rights under the Data Protection Laws in relation to your Personal data. To exercise any of your rights, you will need to send an email request to the contact information provided here. Please note that we may need to verify you before responding to any requests. After verifying you and examining your request, we will respond to you on the action taken within one calendar month from verification. We may at times be unable to address your request, if we are unable to correctly identify you.

Your individual rights requests may be limited, where:

denial of access is required or authorized by law;
grant of access would have a negative impact on other’s privacy;
required to protect your, our or other’s rights property or safety;
the request is unjustified or excessive.

Right to Erasure

When you use the service, you have the option to reset your data by using the “Reset my data” feature in the Platform settings. Reset my data deletes all your submitted data including your identifiers, past conversations, reminders, assessment responses and enabled settings.

If you are a paid subscriber, your transactional data and messages will be deleted on reset. However your active subscription, purchased through third parties like google play, iTunes, etc., will continue to exist post reset of data.

You can also write to us to delete or remove your personal data, such as when you withdraw your consent.

Right in relation to automated decision-making and profiling

You have a right to ask us to stop any automated decision making. We do not intentionally carry out such activities, but if you do have any questions or concerns, we would be happy to discuss them with you. You can contact us at [email protected].

Other important information
