We share the following personal information with Aviva:
- your policy number, member number, and MyHealthCounts account status, so that Aviva can ensure they apply the correct discount to the correct person, and for support and administration purposes;

Please note that these websites and any services that may be accessible through them have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these
policies or for any personal information that may be collected through these websites or services. Please check these policies before you submit any personal information to these websites or use these services.

Some of the data we collect is particularly sensitive. We collect the following sensitive personal information (also called “special category data” in law):

Biological Data including your age, height, biological sex, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol.
Health and Lifestyle Data including information regarding your physical activity, diet, stress levels, alcohol use, smoking and related risk factors.
This personal information is integral to the purpose of the Platform. We use this sensitive personal information to generate your Q Score(s) and provide you with health and wellbeing content. Your Q Score(s) determines your renewal discount percentage.
You must consent to us using this sensitive personal information if you want to use the Platform. If you do not consent, then you cannot use the Platform.
7. Profiling and Automated Decision Making
One of the main purposes of the Platform is to collect information on your lifestyle, health, and wellbeing, to create a profile of your health and risk factors for specific diseases. That profile will reflect your health and risk factors. We use your profile to:
Provide suggestions and content to you via the Platform, relating to your health and wellbeing; and
To create a score reflecting your health and risk factors (called a “Q Score”).
If you consent, we use your Q Score(s) and other information you provide, to automatically calculate and make a decision on your MyHealthCounts renewal discount percentage (if any). We send the discount percentage to Aviva.
Where a decision is made automatically, it is made without human intervention.
Details of how your Q Score(s) are calculated and used to generate a discount percentage can be found here: MHC Calculation of discount
If you do not consent to us processing your information for profiling purposes, you must not use the Platform.
You have a right to appeal your renewal discount percentage. On an appeal, you have the right to request that a human reviews the discount percentage generated, express your view and challenge the decision
You may appeal your renewal discount percentage by emailing [email protected] or by calling 0808 168 7570.
If your appeal relates to a failure to complete or submit an assessment within the required time period, we may refer your appeal to Aviva.
8. Aggregated Data
We may aggregate data from all users of the Platform. This data may be derived from your personal information but is not considered personal information in law as this data will not directly or indirectly relate to you or reveal your identity.

17. Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information.
These rights are as follows:
Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios:
if you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
Automated decision making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision using your personal information which is based solely on automated processing (without human involvement) where that decision produces a legal effect or otherwise significantly affects you. This right does not apply if the decision is:
necessary for the purposes of a contract between us and you;
authorised by law (e.g. to prevent fraud); or
based on your explicit consent.
You do however have a right to request human intervention, express your view and challenge the decision. See section 7 (Profiling and Automated Decision Making) above for more details.
You also have the right to ask us not to continue to process your personal information for marketing purposes.
You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us at [email protected]
