When you use the App, health information which encompasses all Personal Information relating to your health, including diagnosis, medical history, test results, treatments, care received and any Personal Information related to your health discussed between your healthcare professional and you during the recording of the consultation (the " Health Information ").
Any other Personal Information that you have provided to us or for which you have consented to disclosure.
HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Directly from you
In general, we obtain the Personal Information we need directly from you, for example when you fill out registration forms on the Website or the App, when you communicate with us or when you use the App or the Website. We may also collect your Information directly from you during an audio recording, the processing of audio data and voice exchanges. For more information about audio recordings, please see the " Voice Recording Features " section.
On a legal basis such as your consent
The legal basis for processing your Personal Information is generally consent, unless applicable law provides for another admissible legal basis (for example, to comply with our legal obligations, when necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim or legal proceeding).
When the processing relates to Health Information, it is only collected and processed with the express, free, informed and specific consent of the individuals concerned. You can withdraw your consent to the processing of your Health Information at any time, in accordance with the terms of this Policy.
Your consent to the processing of your Personal Information will be renewed in each of the following circumstances: (i) when Lime Santé makes a significant change to this Policy, to the terms of use of the App or to the cookie policy. In such a case, Lime Santé will inform you of the nature of the changes made and seek your renewed consent before continuing the processing of your Personal Information; (ii) when a period of twelve (12) months has elapsed since the date you last gave or renewed your consent.
In the absence of renewal of your consent within the timeframes provided above, Lime Santé will cease processing your Personal Information for the purposes requiring your consent, subject to its legal retention obligations and any other applicable legal basis allowing the continuation of the processing.
By a business partner, with your consent
Subject to your consent with third-party partners, such as Third-Party Authentication Services (as defined in the " Third-Party Authentication Services " section), we may collect your Personal Information directly from these third-party partners who may submit any information that you have established with these third parties and that this third party will make available to us, with your consent.
Refusal of collection and withdrawal of your consent
You have the right, if you wish, to refuse the processing of your Personal Information. You may also, at any time, and subject to reasonable notice and any applicable legal or contractual restrictions, withdraw your consent (where applicable) to the processing of your Personal Information in our possession by contacting us. You should be aware, however, that if you choose not to provide your Personal Information, it may prevent you, for example, from using the App, as this information is essential to access it. You can contact us as indicated in the " Contact Us " section to submit any request in this regard.
WHY DO WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We only collect Personal Information necessary to achieve the following purposes:
Provide access to the App, its features and products;
Process transactions and manage billing;
Provide support to users of the App or Website;
Respond to your questions, requests, comments or complaints;
Develop new features and products for users;
Personalize your experience on the App;
Prevent and detect fraud, abuse or suspicious activities;
Conduct statistical analysis and market research;
Personalize content made available to you on the App;
To protect our legal rights and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
Any other use for which you have given your consent, including communications through newsletters.
We do not use automated decision-making processes, including profiling, for decisions that produce legal effects concerning you. However, the App relies on artificial intelligence models to transcribe your recordings, generate summaries of your consultations and, where appropriate, translate them. These models do not make any decisions about you or formulate any clinical recommendations. The results generated may contain errors; we invite you to validate them with your healthcare professional. You can obtain clarification on the functioning of these processing activities by contacting us as indicated in the " Contact Us " section.
WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH?
Lime Santé does not rent or sell any of your Personal Information to third parties and will not share it with third parties without your consent, unless required by law or for the purposes set out above. Lime Santé will only share your Personal Information as follows:
With our employees. As part of their work, our employees may need to access your Personal Information, for example when you contact us to request help. Their access is limited to what is necessary to perform their duties.
With our strategic partners. Lime Santé may share your Personal Information with its partners, service providers and vendors, including notably Google Cloud Platform (including its Gemini artificial intelligence services), Firebase, Google Analytics, AppsFlyer and Sentry, to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the purposes listed above. When Lime Santé shares your Personal Information with third parties, it implements reasonable contractual and technical safeguards so that these third parties preserve the confidentiality of all Personal Information they process (to the extent required by applicable laws).
Our artificial intelligence service provider (Google, through Gemini) processes the content of your recordings solely for the purpose of generating the transcription, summary and, where applicable, translation of your consultation. No account identifier, such as your phone number or UserID, is transmitted to them. This processing generally takes place in your hosting region, as we have configured this service for this purpose. Our provider cannot, however, guarantee that processing will never take place, on very rare occasions, in another country where it operates its infrastructure. In this case, the measures described in the section " Where do we transfer your Personal Information? " apply.
Our other service providers, in particular for analytics and error reporting (Google Analytics, AppsFlyer and Sentry), do not have access to any Health Information and are not able to listen to your consultations or view the summaries generated by the App. In addition, no identifier allowing an individual user to be recognized or tracked is transmitted to them for targeted advertising purposes, as long as your device's privacy preferences are activated. The data communicated to them remains aggregated, anonymized and non-identifiable, with the exception of the email address you may choose to provide voluntarily in the App's feedback form.
Please note that these third parties may be located in countries other than yours, in which case Lime Santé takes appropriate measures, as indicated below in the section " Where do we transfer your Personal Information? "
With third parties you have designated. The App may include features allowing you to share your data and results generated by the App with third parties or via external services. You acknowledge that Lime Santé does not control the choice of recipients or the use made of your data and generated results once shared, and cannot be held responsible for the confidentiality, security or use of this information outside of the App. Any sharing via external services is subject to the terms and conditions of those third-party services, and you are responsible for complying with them.
When required by law. Lime Santé may share your Personal Information if required by law or if it believes in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law; (b) comply with an order from a competent judicial authority in any jurisdiction; (c) comply with legal proceedings served on Lime Santé; (d) protect and defend the rights or property of Lime Santé; (e) enforce or verify your compliance with any part of the agreements you have entered into with Lime Santé, if applicable; (f) prevent fraud or any other illegal activity perpetrated through the App; or (g) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the App or the general public.
Business transfers. We may share your Personal Information without your authorization when our business requires it (in the case of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or sale of assets, for example). In this type of situation, we may also share all or part of your Personal Information with the concerned third party (or its advisors) as part of a due diligence process.
THIRD-PARTY AUTHENTICATION SERVICES
We may offer you the ability to create an account or log in to the App using your credentials from third-party service providers, such as Google, Apple, Facebook or any other provider we may integrate at our discretion (collectively, "Third-Party Authentication Services"). By choosing to authenticate through a Third-Party Authentication Service, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) your use of these services remains governed by the terms of use and privacy policies of those third-party providers, which are independent of this Policy; and (ii) Lime Santé exercises no control over the Third-Party Authentication Services and disclaims all liability as to their availability, operation, security, or any harm arising from their use, malfunction or unavailability, including any harm that may be related to their non-compliance with legislative or regulatory requirements regarding the protection of Personal Information or Health Information.
WHERE DO WE TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
The Personal Information we collect is stored in secure systems that may be hosted in Canada, or in the United States for UserIDs and phone numbers, which may constitute servers located outside your jurisdiction of residence. We may also use the services of agents and service providers who may be located outside Canada. However, we strive to protect the Personal Information under our control, including Personal Information entrusted to an agent or service provider, whether located in Canada or in other jurisdictions or countries. In particular, we strive to limit their access to Personal Information to what is necessary to perform their assigned functions. These providers must also maintain internationally recognized privacy certifications, such as ISO 27001 certification or any other equivalent certification. Please note that we also implement contractual agreements, such as data processing agreements, with these agents and service providers to guarantee the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information and that we conduct privacy impact assessments before these transfers in accordance with applicable legal requirements. This may include implementing robust and effective security measures. If you have further questions on this subject, you can contact us as indicated in the " Contact Us " section.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
With necessary and appropriate security measures
We strive to apply the necessary and appropriate security measures and policies, based on the sensitivity of the information, to guarantee the confidentiality of Personal Information in our possession or custody, including without limitation conducting privacy impact assessments for the processing of Health Information. In doing so, we follow generally accepted industry standards. Personal Information under our control is therefore only accessible to persons who have the right to access it, who are bound by confidentiality agreements, and who only consult it when necessary for the performance of their duties. Appropriate physical, technical and administrative security and protection measures have been implemented and are maintained to minimize the risk of incidents. These measures include, for example, restricted access to premises and Personal Information, encryption of data in transit and at rest; access and permissions management; activity logging; security incident response protocols; maintenance of internationally recognized privacy certifications; notification in the event of a confidentiality incident, in accordance with applicable laws. The security mechanisms of the App are subject to regular checks, including penetration testing. IP addresses are anonymized before any processing, no UserID, DeviceID, or identifier allowing you to be recognized or allowing analytical data to be linked to your profile or your Health Information is transmitted to analytical platforms, and the data transmitted remains strictly aggregated and non-identifiable, and does not allow a user to be identified or an analytical session to be linked to a medical consultation.
Lime Santé is committed to promptly correcting any identified vulnerability. It should be noted, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure or error-free. Although we implement rigorous security measures to protect your Personal Information, no data transmission or storage system is entirely infallible. We are committed, however, to doing everything reasonably possible to ensure the protection of your information. You acknowledge that the security of online transactions and the security of communications sent electronically or by mail cannot be guaranteed. You provide information to us via the Internet or by mail at your own risk. We encourage you to exercise caution when using the Internet.
Payment Information
The financial information you provide at the time of payment is that required by our payment solutions partner. This information is processed separately by an encrypted payment module, in accordance with security and encryption standards in force in the payment industry (for example, the PCI SSL standard). No information related to your payment card is collected or kept by Lime Santé.
Children's Privacy
Lime Santé does not knowingly process Personal Information of minors under sixteen (16) years of age, without the prior and explicit consent of the holder of parental authority or legal guardian. If you believe that Personal Information has been collected from minors under sixteen (16) years of age without the necessary consents, you can contact Lime Santé as indicated in the " Contact Us " section.
If you believe that your Personal Information has been compromised, we invite you to contact our privacy officer in accordance with the " Contact Us " section.
Respecting your device's privacy preferences
Lime Santé automatically respects the privacy settings you have configured in your mobile device, for example the "do not track" feature. If one of these settings is enabled, data collection is automatically restricted only to technical data essential for error diagnosis and measuring application performance. No data related to marketing or personalization of communications is then collected.
Security incident management
In the event of unauthorized, actual or suspected access to confidential information or systems of the App, Lime Santé will implement a formal process aimed at containing, analyzing, correcting and documenting the incident, in compliance with applicable laws. When Lime Santé determines that unauthorized access has occurred, it undertakes to promptly notify you if you are affected by the unauthorized access or likely to suffer harm therefrom. Following the discovery of any unauthorized access, Lime Santé undertakes to immediately take measures to: (i) terminate the unauthorized access; (ii) manage and mitigate the repercussions of the unauthorized access; and (iii) develop a strategy to prevent unauthorized access in similar circumstances.
RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION
Your Personal Information will only be retained for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or in accordance with the legitimate interests of Lime Santé, or to comply with applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements. At the end of this period, we will strive to destroy or anonymize this information. Original data captured through the App, namely Audio Files (as defined below), are deleted after a maximum period of twenty-four (24) hours following their collection.
To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information concerned, the potential risk of harm resulting from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and the possibility of achieving those purposes through other means, as well as any applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements.
WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?
Depending on the applicable legislation, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Information, such as the right to the portability of your Personal Information, the right to access or rectify your Personal Information, and the right to withdraw your consent (where applicable). To exercise any of these rights (to the extent they are available), please contact us by writing to the address indicated in the " Contact Us " section.
In addition, you may file a complaint with Lime Santé's privacy officer if you are not satisfied with how we handle your Personal Information or our compliance with this policy. The law also authorizes you to file a complaint with a privacy commissioner or any other competent supervisory authority regarding the protection of Personal Information.
COOKIES AND OTHER SIMILAR TOOLS
A cookie is a small text file that is stored in a dedicated location on your computer, mobile device, tablet or other device when you use your browser to visit an online service. Other tracking technologies, such as web beacons and tracking pixels, may be used for similar purposes. In this policy, all such tracking technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies".

Please consult our Cookie Policy to be informed of any collection and use of your Personal Information through cookies, available at: https://emilianotes.com/politique-de-cookies.
VOICE RECORDING FEATURES
Lime Santé, acting as a service provider, may, through the App, provide audio recording, artificial intelligence transcription and transcription outlining features for your consultation tracking, conversation or voice communication needs, including with your healthcare professional (collectively referred to as " Voice Recording Features "). When you use the Voice Recording Features, it is possible, depending on the case, that sensitive Personal Information may be processed, including your voice, Health Information or any other information you may communicate when using the Voice Recording Features. Lime Santé does not collect any Personal Information arising from the Voice Recording Features without first obtaining your explicit, informed, specific and time-limited consent.
For the sake of transparency, you are always informed, by means of a visual and/or sound indicator, of the activation of the Voice Recording Features. In addition, before proceeding with the Voice Recording Features, you must ensure that you have obtained the consent of any person whose voice or personal information is likely to be captured during the recording. In the absence of such consent, you must not use the Voice Recording Features. Lime Santé disclaims all liability with respect to Voice Recording Features performed without the consent of the individuals concerned.
You can at any time refuse collection by Voice Recording Feature and request an alternative method for entering your information.
In all cases, Lime Santé will only retain the original Audio Files for a maximum duration of twenty-four (24) hours. You can request the deletion of specific segments of Audio Files by sending a written request to [email protected]. Lime Santé will strive to respond to these requests within a reasonable timeframe, subject to legal retention obligations and technical limitations. For the purposes hereof, an "Audio File" means any data consisting of sound or voice content, including in particular any recording made by means of the Voice Recording Feature, which is transmitted, provided or stored in digital format as part of the use of the App, by yourself or on your behalf.
Please note that we do not use Personal Information obtained using the Voice Recording Features for training, refining or developing artificial intelligence models, without your consent.
