This policy applies to any users of our services, and to anyone else who contacts us or otherwise submits information to us, unless noted below.

1. Who we are?

We are Incision Group B.V., a scale-up company based in the Netherlands. Our headquarters are in Mauritskade 63, 1092 AD Amsterdam; if you want to know more about us, check here.

2. Processing of personal data

 

In this section we explain you how we process personal data through our services and our website.


NOTE
: If we act in the capacity of processor, this means that we are going to process your data on behalf of another entity (usually a legal entity which is our customer, such as a hospital or a training institution) which determines the purpose and the means of the processing. Typically, we act in the capacity of processor when we offer our web and mobile services to users on behalf of their employer, training institution, or similar. If you want to have an overview of the contractual duties we have when we act in the capacity of processor, check here.

Incision Academy

 

Incision Academy is a service that we provide to both (i) customers (legal entities, such as hospitals and training institutions) for their users (employees, students, etc.), (ii) and single users (natural persons). In the first case we act in the capacity of processor (so we’ll process your data on behalf of the customer), in the second one we act in the capacity of controller (so the processing won’t be performed on behalf of a customer).

In both the contexts we will process your data for your registration on Incision Academy (such as your name, your email, your profession, your username and password, etc.) and to properly provide you our services (such as the courses you complete, the training content you access, etc.). In no occasion we will process special categories of personal data, and in particular heath related information.

We will process your data as long as you have a user profile on Incision Academy; you can update your data autonomously and at any time, and you can request to delete your user profile writing to info@incision.care.

Incision Academy is a web app completely based on the computing services of Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), to ensure a high level of security of your data and availability of the service. We chose the Ireland region of AWS, so no data transfer out of the European Union is required for the provision of our services.

We will process your data for your registration and proper use of Incision Assist (such as your name, your email, your profession, your username and password, etc.) and until the customer you belong will tell us either return or delete your data. In no occasion we will process special categories of personal data, and in particular heath related information.

Incision Assist is an application (both web and mobile) completely based on the computing services of Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), to ensure a high level of security of your data and availability of the service.

We mainly process usage data for analytical purposes, and in particular to satisfy our legitimate interest to understand how to implement our products to better fit users’ needs. For this purpose, we aggregate the data in such a way is no longer possible to identify who, in specific, this data belongs to.

Usage data could be used to personalize the communications that we’re going to send you to keep you active and up-dated about new features and content in our products.

If you decide to delete you profile, usage data will be anonymized by removing every reference to you (such as user ID, name, email).

Communications

 

We are going to send you communications for different purposes.

By default, we send e-mails and push notifications through the mobile app because we really want to keep our users active, satisfied, and updated about new features and content in our products.

We will send you e-mails and push notifications through the mobile app for administrative purposes, for instance: we will send you a notification when an admin user uploads new content for your group; we will send you an e-mail to activate your account; etc. These communications are necessary for us to properly provide you with our services.

We keep your feedbacks in the highest consideration to resolve the possible issues you reported and to implement our services. For this reason, we could get in touch with you via e-mail or, if you specifically ask, via telephone. We will store your feedback only for the time necessary to process it and, anyway, no more than six months.
