Halo Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us at Perigee and we appreciate that you are trusting us with your personal information. Here are a few of our fundamental privacy principles:

• We aggregate and de-identify certain usage information about our users to use for business purposes.
• Information you share with Halo is not publicly accessible.
• If you choose to enable encryption no one else can read anything you add to Halo. Your entries will be protected and for your eyes only.
• We offer several ways to control the privacy of your personal information and we continuously work on enhancing the options available to you.

Our privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) explains the information we collect, how we use and share it, and your rights in connection to when you use our Halo applications, software, websites, APIs and services (collectively, “Halo”).

Unless indicated otherwise, this Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party products or services or the practices of companies that we do not own or control, including other companies you might interact with in or through Halo.

Processing of Your Information

Perigee collects, uses, shares and otherwise processes information we have about you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• Where necessary to comply with legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise and defend legal claims.

• Where necessary for the purposes of Perigee’ or a third party’s legitimate interest, such as those of visitors, members or partners.

We do this to understand your needs, improve Halo, deliver personalized insights and other core functionality in Halo, such as keeping your data up to date across multiple devices, automatic backup of your data etc., as well as to keep Halo safe and secure by protecting against fraud, spam, abuse etc.

Information We Collect

All data collected by Perigee is necessary to deliver the Halo experience. We try to deliver the best possible experience with as little data collected as possible.

If you disagree with the collection and processing of this data you should stop using Halo, delete your account and uninstall the application.

Always collected

When you use Halo, including use without an account, personal and non-personal data is transmitted to Perigee and some third-party services. The following type of data is collected:

Usage information

When you use Halo we collect event and anonymous usage data to better understand which features are the most useful to our users on an aggregated level. The information collected is for example; how often certain entries are completed, or how often Halo is opened.

Contact information

If you choose to provide us with your contact information, for example by emailing us, we will use this to respond to support requests and comments.

Technical information

We collect technical information from the devices you use to access Halo. This information is used to analyze trends and protect and secure Halo. The information collected includes network information; including IP addresses, timestamps, log files, and operating systems.

When you have an Account

When you have an Account we also collect the following type of data:

Account information

We collect information such as name, email address, to help us secure access to your Halo Account.

Sensitive data

When you create an account we store the information and entries you add to it including the entries you add to Halo. This is in the form of Moments, Courses, Free Entries etc. that are written in the app. We hold this information so you can access your account on different devices, reinstall the app without losing your account etc.

You are always able to encrypt your account for free directly from Halo. This will ensure your entries are secured and not accessible by anyone but you.

Third-Party Accounts

If you choose to sign up and log in to Halo using accounts you created with third-party services such as Sign in with Apple (collectively, “Third-Party Accounts”) we will collect information that you agreed to make available such as name and email address. This information is collected by the Third-Party Account provider and is provided to Perigee under their privacy policies. You can generally control what information they share with us by using their privacy settings.

Use across our services

We may combine information we collect from you with information obtained from third parties and information derived from any other subscription, product or service we provide.

How We Use Information

Perigee uses the information we collect to operate and improve Halo as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, taking most-used Moments and Courses to highlight other relevant topics to explore.

We store your sensitive data to your Account to offer the functionality of syncing your data across your devices and maintaining a backup of your data in case you lose or change your device. We process mood logs and other events to give personalized insights and statistics for you.

We use your usage information to analyze and improve Halo. To accomplish this Perigee may use third party providers to analyze and gain insight into how Halo is used and to help us improve Halo.

We may use your email address to send you service and marketing related notices if you have agreed to receive such messages. Those emails can be unsubscribed from with clear and simple instructions in the email. We may also use your email address to notify you on updates to our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use.

We use your device information to send you notifications about events that occur in Halo. You can always control what notifications you receive from Halo from the Settings section in the application. We also use your information to respond to you when you contact us. Perigee will use your information to communicate with you, for example by emailing you or sending notifications.

How Information Is Shared

We may share anonymous, aggregate statistics with outside parties, such as how many people complete a Moment, track their Mood etc.

To analyze, gain insight and improve Halo we might share de-identified information with third-parties. These third parties will only receive the information needed to perform these specific actions, and Perigee will never share more information than necessary.

Service Providers

We may share your information with third parties who provide services to Perigee such as supporting and improving Halo or promoting Halo. These service providers will only have access to the information necessary to perform these limited functions on our behalf and are required to protect and secure your information.

We may also engage service providers to collect information about your use of Halo over time on our behalf so that we or they may promote Halo or display information that may be relevant to your interests in Halo or other websites or services.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal requirements; to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or abuse, violations of our policies; or to protect our rights and property.

In the future, we may sell to, buy, merge with, or partner with other businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.

How We Protect Information

We work hard to keep your data safe in Halo from the collection, transmission and storage of the data we collect. We use a combination of technical controls to maintain the security of your data. This includes using industry standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt many of our services and ensure that information is transmitted and stored securely in Halo. In addition to this, we protect this information using advanced firewall technology.

We recommend you turn on the ‘encryption’ option in Halo, Halo offers encryption on all entries. Once encryption is set up all of your journal entries will be transferred encrypted and stored encrypted. This means that only you can decrypt your data and if you forget your encryption key we can not restore your data. Whilst encryption is activated only you have access to see your journal entries.

Although we use a combination of industry standards to maintain the security of your data, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure, and Perigee cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Perigee. Transmitting personal information is done at your own risk.

To protect data on your device we recommend all our users to use a complex passcode, TouchID or FaceID to unlock the device Halo is installed on. In addition to activating the device lock you can set an app specific lock on Halo from the applications settings. A 4-pin code, TouchID and FaceID is available to protect your app from unauthorised access, even if someone has access to your device.

Your Rights

If you need any further assistance regarding your rights, feel free to contact us either from the application or through privacy@perigee.se

Access Your Data

If you do not have an account then no personal information will be stored outside the device being used. By logging in to your account, you can access all of your information.

You also have the option to download all personal data we have on you when logged in to your Halo Account.

Editing and Deleting Your data

From Halo you can always edit your information such as name, email. You can also edit or delete specific entries, for example completed Moments, Dailies, Courses etc.

You can delete your Account directly from Halo. Once deleted all your data, including account, journal entries etc. cannot be reinstated.

Objecting to Data Use

In Halo you can control our data use. For example you can delete your Account to only keep all your data locally on device. By using settings you can limit the notifications which you receive from Halo.

Your consent for processing health and sensitive data

If you create an account with Halo, your personal data—including sensitive data—is stored on your device and is also stored and processed on our servers. This is done so we can offer you backups of your data and to enable additional features such as using Halo on multiple devices.

By creating an account with Halo you explicitly consent that:

1. Halo may store and process personal data you provide through the usage of the Halo app and through the account creation process solely for the purpose of providing Halo to you and to improve Halo’s services. Such services may include sending you information and reminders through the Halo app or to the email address you provided for your account.
2. Personal data you provide to Halo through the account creation process includes personal data you enter into the Halo app, such as your account data (e.g. your name and email address), and your entries (Moments, Courses, Free Entry, Mood logging).
3. Halo will not transmit any of your personal data to third parties, except if it is required to provide the Halo service to you (e.g. technical service providers), unless Halo has asked for your explicit consent.

You may withdraw your consent to this use of your data at any time by deleting your Halo account. If you choose to do so, you may continue using the Halo app without an account, but since a copy of your data will no longer be stored on our servers, please be sure to make regular backups of your data to avoid data loss—we are not able to retrieve lost data of users without Halo accounts.

Data Retention

We keep information as long as it is necessary to operate Halo. We keep all of your information until you either delete your account or if your account has been inactive after 3 years of no activity in Halo, whichever happens first. Following the deletion of your account, it may take up to 60 days to fully delete your personal information from our systems.

Additionally, we may retain information from deleted accounts to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce the Terms of Use or take other actions permitted by law. The information we retain will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information about you that is no longer necessary and relevant to provide our services may be de-identified and aggregated with other non-personal data to provide insights which are commercially valuable to Perigee, such as statistics of the use of Halo.

Children

If you are under the age 16 you are not allowed to create an account or submit any personal data through Halo. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet use and to help us enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide any personal data through Halo.

If you become aware that a child under the age of 16 has submitted personal data to us, please contact us at contact@perigee.se.

If we learn that we have accessed and stored personal information about a child under the minimum required age, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.

Changes to This Policy

Perigee has the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it occasionally. We will notify you before we make any substantial changes to this Privacy Policy and give you an opportunity to review the revised policy.

Any and all material changes shall come into effect between you and Perigee upon your acceptance of such changes (e.g. by using Halo after such notification has been made to you or renewing your subscription).

If you object to any change in the Privacy Policy you should immediately delete and stop using Halo.
