Aggregated information

Your Personal Data may be combined, deidentified, or anonymized so that it cannot be legitimately used to identify you. Such information is not Personal Data anymore. For example, we may share or use general age, demographic information, and aggregate statistics about specific activities or symptoms from data collected to help identify patterns across users in articles, blog posts, and scientific publications. We may also share such data with our partners or research institutions or use it for statistical purposes. The dissemination of this information advances the field of women's health research. Your data will be processed for this purpose on the basis of our legitimate interests.

Information posted by you

The App features several community areas like The Lighthouse where users with similar interests can share information and support one another. 

Any information (including Personal Data) you share in any online community area or online discussion is by design open to the Motherocity community. You should think carefully before posting any Personal Data in any public forum. What you post can be seen, disclosed to, or collected by third parties and may be used by others in ways we cannot control or predict, including to contact you for unauthorized purposes. Moreover posting your Personal Data in The Lighthouse may violate the Lighthouse Rules. If you mistakenly post Personal Data in our community areas and would like it removed, you can send us an email Hi@Motherocity.com. 

Special circumstances

We may also share some of your Personal Data in the following special circumstances: 

  • in response to subpoenas, court orders or legal processes, to the extent permitted and as restricted by law (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements);
  • when disclosure is required to maintain the security and integrity of the Services or to protect any user’s security or the security of other persons, consistent with applicable laws. In such cases, we may also delete some of your Personal Data (e.g., by resetting your password to avoid unauthorized access);
  • when disclosure is directed or consented to by the user who has input the Personal Data;
  • in the event that we go through a business transition, such as a merger, divestiture, acquisition, liquidation or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

Depending on the circumstance, we may rely on legitimate interest or legal obligation as our legal basis for the above processing activities. 

Retention of your Personal Data

Except as set forth below, we will retain your Personal Data as long as needed to provide you with the Services or otherwise fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. 

Impact of Account Deactivation/Requests to Erase Personal Data: At any time, you can deactivate your account and erase your Personal Data by emailing Hi@Motherocity.com. If you choose to deactivate your account, Motherocity will generally delete all your Personal Data and it will not be recoverable should you later create another account. 

Impact of App Deletion or Inactivity: If you choose to delete the App from your device or your account becomes inactive, we will retain your Personal Data for a period of 3 years in case you decide to re-activate the Services or re-install the App. The App covers different periods of users’ lifecycle; therefore, retention of your data is needed in some cases to secure your smooth experience with other App functions (e.g., having another pregnancy). 

Limitations: You should be aware that, although we will anonymize or otherwise de-identify your data where possible, we may retain certain Personal Data and other information after your account has been terminated or deleted as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Security of your Personal Data

General security measures

We implement technical and organizational measures in an effort to protect Personal Data from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the nature of the Personal Data that we process and risks associated with special categories of Personal Data we collect (information about health). These measures include Pseudonymization and tokenization of certain categories of your Personal Data.

Encryption of your Personal Data in transit and in rest.

Systematic vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.

Protection of data integrity.

Organizational and legal measures. For example, our employees have different levels of access to your Personal Data and only those in charge of data management get access to your Personal Data and only for limited purposes required for the operation of the Services. We impose strict liability on our employees for any disclosures, unauthorized accesses, alterations, destructions, or misuse of your Personal Data.

Conducting periodical data protection impact assessments in order to ensure that the Services fully adhere to the principles of ‘privacy by design, ‘privacy by default and others. We also commit to undertake a privacy audit in the event of Motherocity’s merger or takeover.

Please understand that you can help keep your information secure by choosing and protecting your password appropriately, not sharing your password, and preventing others from using your mobile device. However, no security system is perfect and, as such, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the Services, or that your information will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us.

Security breaches

If we learn of a security systems breach, we may either post a notice or attempt to notify you by email and will take reasonable steps to remedy the breach as specified in applicable law and this Privacy Policy. If we learn of a potential Personal Data breach, together with other actions referred to in the Privacy Policy (such as notifying you in certain cases), we will also undertake particular actions to remedy the breach as appropriate under the circumstances, which may include, logging you out from all the devices, resetting a password (sending a temporary password for you to apply) and performing other reasonably necessary activities and actions.

If you want to report a security incident related to the Services please contact us at Hi@Motherocity.com.

Children’s privacy

General age limitation. The Services are not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect information about children under 13 years old through the Services. If you are aware of anyone under 13 using the Services, please contact us at Hi@Motherocity and we will take the required steps to delete such information and (or) delete the child’s account. 

Age limitation for residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Due to legal requirements, we do not allow the use of the Services by residents of EEA or the UK younger than 16 years old. If you are aware of anyone younger than 16 using the Services, please contact us at Hi@Motherocity.com and we will take steps to delete such information and (or) delete the child’s account.

Moreover, some of the App functions are limited for users that are younger than 18.

Communication with you

We may contact you from time to time via email or through other means (like popups or push notifications) to communicate with you about products, services, offers, promotions, rewards, and events offered by us and others, and provide news and information that we think will be of interest to you. 

Opt-out options. You can always opt-out of receiving emails by unsubscribing via the “Unsubscribe” link contained in the email. Opting out of these emails or notifications will not end the transmission of important service-related emails that are necessary to your use of the Services. You may also opt out of receiving popups or push notifications by adjusting your settings on your device. If applicable laws prescribe so, we may ask some users to provide their additional consent for such communications.

Please note that we may contact you with information about products, services, offers, promotions, rewards, and events offered by us and others via third-party platforms (like social media). For more information, including instructions for how to opt-out, please see the section above titled ‘Processing to find new Motherocity users and stay in touch with you. 

Storage and international Personal Data transfers

Motherocity is based in the United States (“US”). Personal Data we collect is transferred to and processed in the U.S. (where it is governed by U.S. law) and to other countries (where it is governed by the laws of those countries). The laws of the U.S. and the laws of other countries may not offer the same protections as the laws of your jurisdiction.

Transfers of Personal Data outside of the European Union, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom

Personal Data in the European Union (EU), the EEA, and the United Kingdom (UK) is protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018, but some other countries may not necessarily have the same standard of protection for your Personal Data.

Motherocity transfers Personal Data from the EU, EEA, and UK to the U.S. and other third countries. When transferring Personal Data outside the EU, EEA, and UK we either implement standard contractual clauses or rely on current European Commission adequacy decisions. For further information please contact Hi@Motherocity.com.

Privacy Shield Participation

Motherocity is certified under the EU - U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (“EU Privacy Shield”) and Swiss - U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (“Swiss Privacy Shield” together with the EU Privacy Shield, the “Privacy Shield”) for Personal Data transfer from the EU to the U.S. and from Switzerland to the U.S. On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union invalidated the EU Privacy Shield. We continue to adhere to the Privacy Shield principles for Personal Data transferred up to July 16, 2020 and have maintained our certification. You may view our certification here.  

Complaints and Dispute Resolution. We commit to resolve complaints about our collection and use of your Personal Data. EU and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our Privacy Shield policy should first contact us at dpo@motherocity.com or at the mailing address:

Annapolis, Maryland 21401, United States

Arbitration.

You may also be able to invoke binding arbitration for unresolved complaints but prior to initiating such arbitration, a resident of a European country (including Switzerland) participating in the Privacy Shield must first: (1) contact us and afford us the opportunity to resolve the issue; (2) seek assistance from JAMS; and (3) contact the U.S. Department of Commerce (either directly or through a European Data Protection Authority) and afford the Department of Commerce time to attempt to resolve the issue. If such a resident invokes binding arbitration, each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees. Please be advised that, pursuant to the Privacy Shield, the arbitrator(s) may only impose individual-specific, non-monetary, equitable relief necessary to remedy any violation of the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to the resident. The arbitration option may not be invoked if the individual’s same claimed violation of the Principles (1) has previously been subject to binding arbitration; (2) was the subject of a final judgment entered in a court action to which the individual was a party; or (3) was previously settled by the parties.

We are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission concerning Personal Data transferred under the Privacy Shield.

We have further committed to refer unresolved Privacy Shield complaints to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the U.S. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, please contact or visit the https://www.jamsadr.com/submit/ for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you.

Unless both you and Motherocity agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

If you are a resident of any European Union country or the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, or Iceland, the governing law and forum shall be the laws and courts of your usual place of residence.

IF YOU RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES, THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION 22 APPLIES TO YOU. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.

This Arbitration Agreement only applies to you if you reside in the United States.

You may opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor the Company can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.

To opt-out, you must notify the Company in writing postmarked within 30 days of the date you first accepted this Agreement. You must use this address to opt out:

Motherocity Health DPO@Motherocity.com

If you do not reside in the United States, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against the Company in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Section 22 applies to you, and all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law.

The Company is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, this Agreement provides for a two-part process for individuals to whom this Section 22 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with the Company’s customer service team, and, if necessary, (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You and the Company each retain the right to seek relief in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration. 

At least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration, you and the Company each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send your notice of dispute to Motherocity Health DPO@Motherocity.com The Company will send its notice of dispute to the email address associated with your Company account. A notice of dispute must include: the party’s name and preferred contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief sought. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the 30-day period, only then may either party commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).

You and the Company mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”).  If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and the Company agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA rules.

 

In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, the Company agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (a) in the US county where you reside; (b) in New Castle County; (c) via phone or video conference; or (d) if all parties agree, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, the Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.

The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.

If the Company changes this Section 22 after the date you last accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and the Company (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and the Company.

Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, upon termination, all provisions of this Agreement, which, by their nature, should survive termination, shall survive termination, including, without limitation, all ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

If for any reason an arbitral tribunal or court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, or a portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. A printed version of this Agreement shall be admissible in arbitral, judicial or administrative proceedings.

No waiver of by the Company of any term or condition set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

What is Do Not Track (DNT)?

DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, Internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date.
