What Information Do We Collect and Why
The information we collect from the Family or Care Circle authority enables us to provide the SafeinHome system, to personalize and improve those Services, or to help allow an individual to learn more about the SafeinHome system.
The SafeinHome system allows the Family or Care Circle authority to set up an account through which the Family or Care Circle authority can monitor motion and other activity or activities in the home of the person living independently, to share information among the authorized Family or Care Circle, to provide the Family or Care Circle with information, updates, offers and other communications related to our Services, and to analyze and report on the results of the Services in an aggregated and anonymized manner for the benefit of our partners.
The information generated through the SafeinHome system is received and stored by SafeinHome. This information may include names, addresses, screen names, usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, credit card information, telephone logs, and other information from Family or Care Circle members. While you can opt-out from providing any of this information to us, it may either limit the Services provided to you or prevent you from using the Services or the SafeinHome system at all.

Surveys or Contests – If you participate in surveys or contests, we collect the information provided through the survey.
Personal Information Collected Automatically

Except as it relates to providing information to the Family or Care Circle members for the individual whose home the SafeinHome system is installed or in using that information internally for the operation of the SafeinHome system, SafeinHome only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how Subscribers use parts of the Services so that we can make the Services useful for as many Subscribers as possible and improve those Services. As part of this use of information, we may provide de-identified aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our site and Services.
Automatic Communications
If you are a user of the SafeinHome system or if your computer allows it, SafeinHome may receive confirmation when you open an email, SMS, text or receive a telephone call from SafeinHome or the SafeinHome system. SafeinHome uses this confirmation to assist in our communication with the Family and the Senior who uses the SafeinHome system and allows SafeinHome to judge the effectiveness of its communication with individuals who are interested in learning more about the SafeinHome system or our other Services. If you do not want to receive email or other mail from us, please indicate your preference during the registration process or by making a modification on your account page.

What Does SafeinHome Do with Personal Information?
Personal information (that is, information that is personally identifiable) about the customer that can be about our customers is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone. We share your personal information only as described below.
Sharing of Personal Information
We only share and disclose your information in the following ways:
- to Third-party services providers who provide data processing or engineering services to us (ex. to support delivery of electronic communications, provide functionality on, or help enhance the security of our website, conduct surveys, provide technical support, and process payments).
- in Compliance with Applicable Laws, we may disclose your information, where we are required to do so to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, state or federal regulation or other legal process.
- due to a Business Acquisition, we may share or transfer your information in connection with any proposed purchase, merger, acquisition of any part of our business, including at the negotiation stage.
- to any other person with your consent to the disclosure.
Sharing of Aggregate Information (Non-Personally Identifiable)
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and other parties. Such information is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
Data Security
SafeinHome takes commercially reasonable precautions to protect our users’ information. When users enter sensitive information into our systems, their information is protected both online and offline.
When any form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number, Medicaid, or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption protocol in the industry – TLS. While on a secure page, such as our logon form, typically a lock icon located near the website address on a web browser shows as locked, as opposed to un-locked or open when users are just browsing the internet.
We also take commercially reasonable precautions to protect users’ information offline. All our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices and we follow HIPAA best practices wherever possible. Only SafeinHome personnel who need the information to perform a specific job (for example customer service representatives) are granted access to users’ information.
If users have any questions about the security at our website, users can send an email to [email protected].
Data Retention
We keep your personal information to enable your continued use of SafeinHome and/or SafeinHome systems, data reporting, regulatory compliance to state and federal regulations, and for as long as it is required to fulfill the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Notice, as may be required by law (including for tax and accounting purposes), or as otherwise communicated to you.
How long we retain specific personal information varies depending on the purpose for its use, and we will delete your personal information in accordance with applicable law.
Correcting or Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email, or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information. This can be done by contacting your account representative or emailing us at [email protected].
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Policy, our website homepage, and other places that we deem appropriate.
If we make any material changes in our Privacy Policy that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a notice on our website notifying users of the change. In some cases, we will also email users who have opted to receive communications from us to further notify them of the changes in our Privacy Policy.
