Privacy Policy

Dated: Dated: 6th November 2020
One Million Lives Privacy Policy

Privacy Policies can be long and complicated, trying to cover every aspect of data protection. We encourage you to read this whole policy, and our Terms of Use too. But in case you are pressed for time, here is a quick summary.

1. Summary

What: When you use our services, we collect anonymous information that you voluntarily provide such as age range, gender, employment status, and answers to psychological questions, all of which is de-identified and which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person (defined as “Anonymous Information”). We do not intend to collect, and actively attempt to avoid collecting, any information from you that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (defined as “Personal Data”).

Why: The Anonymous Information you voluntarily provide allows us to assess your mental health and make recommendations to you to improve your health. Sometimes we may combine some of the Anonymous Information with that of other users to do population health studies and improve our services.

On occasions where we use an aggregation of the Anonymous Information collected from users to do population health studies, we may report an overview of the findings back via media such as the One Million Lives website. These findings are intended to give insight in to mental health and how the general population is currently coping. Our aim is to break down the barriers that hinder honest conversations about mental health and encourage an open culture of support through knowledge sharing.

Where: In addition to processing Anonymous Information wherever you are located, we may also process Anonymous Information in other countries, including Australia, UK and the United States.

How: We collect Anonymous Information directly from you that you voluntarily provide through our website and mobile apps.

Who: We share Anonymous Information with our service providers and medical researchers but only to the extent necessary to provide our services. To the extent you voluntarily elect to provide Anonymous Information regarding the name of your employer, Jacobs may provide such Anonymous Information to the employer for the purpose of the employer to assess and improve the mental health of its workforce. Jacobs does not sell any information to any parties related to our One Million Lives services.

If the summary didn’t answer all your questions, please keep reading the full Privacy Policy.

2. Introduction

Protecting your information is of the utmost importance to Jacobs. We have prepared this Privacy Policy so you understand how we intend to protect your information and what rights you give us to use it. It sets out how we will collect, hold, use, disclose, protect and otherwise handle information collected through and in relation to our One Millions Lives software applications https://app.oml.world ("Website").

We strongly encourage you to read this Privacy Policy, as well as our Terms of Use, before using any of our applications or Website. To be clear, this Privacy Policy applies to all of One Million Lives software applications, whether on your mobile device or our Internet site, and the services (collectively, the “Services”) rendered to you through the applications.

Sometimes we refer to Jacobs as “we”, “us”, or “our”. When we use the words “you” and “your”, we are referring to you.

The Services are intended to be provided without the need to disclose any Personal Data at any point. Registration of the Services can be done anonymously by creating a unique username and password. At no time will you be asked to provide Personal Data such as your name or email address. Instead, the intent is to provide our Services through Anonymous Information provided by you, which is a critical component of our commitment to privacy. By analyzing Anonymous Information, we intend to build safe and valuable products and features all while protecting user identities. We can also safely share Anonymous Information externally, making it useful for others without putting the privacy of our users at risk. To the extent applicable, we comply with the EU General Data Protection Regular (GDPR), applicable US data protection laws, Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and other applicable privacy laws, when handling all data.

3. Consent

By voluntarily registering for the Services and providing Anonymous Information to us, you consent to us collecting, holding, using and disclosing that Anonymous Information in accordance with and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.

You are not required to provide any information to us. However, if you voluntarily seek to use the Services, you will need to register Anonymous Information to create an account. Please be aware that the Services may be affected by the nature of the Anonymous Information you provide.

4. Collection

We collect information relating to your use of our Services but only to the extent this Privacy Policy and the law allows us to. We will only collect Anonymous Information which is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, our Services.

To create an account and to allow you to use our Services, we require Anonymous Information from you in the form of a unique username and password. You are solely responsible for the creation of your unique username and password. You should never use your personal name or any other identifiable information in the creation of your username or password. Following the creation of your account, additional Anonymous Information we collect may include age range, gender, employment status, relationship status, organization (Jacobs or other) and country/city of residence. We also ask questions regarding health and medical history and status, and collect information relating to health, legal chemical and substance use and medical treatment, diagnoses, or conditions. Providing this information is always optional, although if you do not provide it, certain features of the Services may not be available.

When you access or use our Services, we receive data about your usage. This includes information about how you use and interact with our Services. For example, this information includes when you create or log in to your account. We do not collect any data related to your specific devices and computers, including browser type and pages visited. Our Services do not use cookies.

We collect Anonymous Information for:

  • providing access to our Services (including via the Website);
  • personalizing, customizing and improving your experience with our Services;
  • sharing our Services with third-parties who are interested in the Anonymous Information in relation to users who voluntarily identify as employees of such third-parties;
  • research related to mental health awareness;
  • assessing inquiries for the provision of our services or products; and
  • complying with our legal obligations.

5. Use and disclosure

We may use your Anonymous Information for any of the purposes identified in the collection section above. We may disclose and transfer Anonymous Information to our corporate affiliates, service providers, third-party clients, medical researchers, and other partners who process it for us, based on our instructions, and in compliance with this policy, to provide the Services and meet our obligations under this Privacy Policy. Our Service Providers are primarily located in the US and Australia, but may be located in other countries as applicable.

We may also use your Anonymous Information if necessary to assert legal rights or defend against legal claims, or to prevent, detect, or investigate illegal activity, fraud, abuse, violations of our terms, or threats to the security of the Services or the physical safety of any person.

Anonymous Information provided to third-parties and medical researchers will be in the form of compilations, analyses, analytical and predictive models and rules, and other aggregated reports.

We may retain Anonymous Information to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy for as long as needed, as allowed or as required by law.

6. Integrity of Anonymous Information

You have access to the Anonymous Information you voluntarily provide at any time. You are solely responsible for whether the Anonymous Information is accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant. Based on the de-identified nature of the information, we have no ability to independently verify whether such Anonymous Information is accurate, up-to-date, complete and/or relevant.

If we hold Anonymous Information that is no longer needed for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed, it will be destroyed.

7. Sale of Jacobs or its assets

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of Anonymous Information and provide reasonable notice before transferring any information to another organization.

8. Children

Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use our Services or create accounts. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with any Anonymous Information, they should contact us, and we will take reasonable steps to delete the account and any related Anonymous Information. Parents and legal guardians may contact us at oml@jacobs.com.

9. Data security

We take reasonable steps to keep Anonymous Information safe, secure, and protected from unauthorized access, modification and disclosure and from misuse, interference and loss, and we use a combination of technical, administrative, and physical security controls to accomplish this. However, no method of transmitting or storing any information is completely secure. If you have any questions or concerns about the security of your information, please contact us at oml@jacobs.com.
