Privacy Policy

Effective: August 22, 2024

 

This privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) explains what information Secure Internet Solutions LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, d/b/a Watch Our Own (“Watch Our Own”, “we”, “our” or “us”) collects and saves from you when you use our website, applications and services as described herein (the “Services”) and in connection with Groups as described in Section I below.

    I. Background

 

Watch Our Own offers Services designed to enable you and the members of the group you create or accept membership in (“Group(s)”), to assist in the support of someone you care about. All the information in Group is managed by you or the administrator of your Group, and such individual decides who and when to share information with and when to remove that access. A Group may also share information during a live event and via remote access to first responder dispatch.

 

For example, a member of the Group may need to lookup medical information to provide to a first responder or medical service. The individual in charge of a Group may also initiate an “Emergency Code” to allow first responder dispatch to access it via the https://www.watchourown.com/first-responder site.

 

    II. How We Protect Your Information

 

We take reasonable measures to protect your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) to prevent against unauthorized use, access and disclosure.

  • We may use your Personal Information, including any information you share with us, to improve our programs and Services.

  • We may use your information to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, to respond to lawful requests, court orders and legal process, to enforce our rights, enforce the Terms of Use, protect our intellectual property, to prevent fraud, and to protect the security of the Services and for safety.

  • We may use your IP address and location data to analyze usage, administer our Services, and gather demographic information for aggregate use.

  • With your consent, we may use your Personal Information in other ways.

  • For the following types of information you publish, display or transmit the information to us or third parties in connection with the Services, we use such information in the following ways:

 

          i. Health and Medical Information – We provide you with a Service to manage health and medical information in connection with the Groups.

 

          ii. Photos - All photos (e.g., avatar, front, side and obstructed photos) which you post are yours or a Group’s to manage and share. It is your        responsibility to maintain recent photos of your care recipients on the Service.

 

          iii. Documents – Currently, we provide you with the option to store a “living will” and “do not resuscitate” documents on the Service.

 

          iv. Videos - During an event, you may send or receive a video stream in connection with a Group. Our Service does not currently save the video.

​

          v. Event Information and Historical Data – We provide access to previous events in connection with Groups, excluding any video.

​

          vi. Prescription Schedule - If you include yours or your care recipient’s prescription information, you can setup reminders with event level escalation via a schedule provided in the Service. There are three levels of notification (low, medium and high) based on the number of individuals who receive notifications related to prescriptions.

 

          vii. Location Information – We use your location data to enable you and the members of your Group to find your care recipient and care givers. We also provide (if your mobile coverage allows) the ability to find and map nearby sites such as police, and medical facilities as well as EMS/fire near you via location services.

 

         viii. Location Schedule - When you setup a location schedule for yourself or your care recipient, you will setup and adjust the geo-fence as well as the time and dates the person is supposed to be at that location.

​

For example, you may indicate that 9am-5pm on Monday through Friday an individual is at “school” by including the school address and adjusting the geo-fence to where such individual is located.

​

Please note that depending on how good your mobile coverage is, you may get false alerts if the mobile cannot find its location or access our Service due to weak signal coverage or if your phone is turned off.

 

         ix. Caregiver Coverage Schedule - This schedule is mainly for you to organize when (i.e., date and time) you want to have a particular care giver watching over your care recipient. As with any notification, it depends on your mobile coverage.

 

         x. Chat Data - During an event we provide the ability to chat with members in a Group that you have provided access to. That data may also persistent in the historical event.

 

     V. How We Share Your Information

 

We do not knowingly sell, trade or otherwise share your Personal Information with any third parties without your consent, except: (i) as described above for Groups; (ii) as required by law, (iii) when we reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or to protect the safety of any person, (iv) in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of our assets, and/or (v) as otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

Your Rights and Choices (CCPA)

​

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

 

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights (CCPA)

​

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and verify your request, we will disclose to you:

​

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.

  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.

  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.

  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.

  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

  • (Applicable if we sell or disclose your personal information for a business purpose) Two separate lists disclosing:

    • Sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and

    • Disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

 

Deletion Request Rights (CCPA)

​

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

​

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

​

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.

  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).

  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.

  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.

  • Comply with a legal obligation.

  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

 

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights (CCPA)

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:

​

​​

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

​

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

​

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

 

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

 

Response Timing and Format (CCPA)

​

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

​

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

 

Non-Discrimination (CCPA)

​

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

​

  • Deny you goods or services.

  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services. Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

 

Changes to This Privacy Notice (CCPA)

​

We may revise this privacy notice from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion. If we decide to change our privacy notice, we will post the revised statement on our Services. If changes are significant and materially affect your rights under this privacy notice, we may provide a more prominent notice on our Services.
