2. Purpose and recipients of data processing

UbiCAREis a monitoring service designed to assist fragile people (subjects monitored) when they are outdoors outside their living environment. The application allows the detection of the position of the monitored subject through the use of a mobile application; in this way the user can notify his position to close contacts in case of need (emergency call) and / or when in places that can be selected by the user. The UbiCaRE application can be used alone, or in combination with the LYOTECH BRIDGe service:

  • STANDALONE MODE: the monitored subject uses the UbiCARE application and sends communications to his/her contacts via SMS.
  • BRIDGe COMBINED MODE: the monitored subject uses the UbiCARE application and signs a subscription to the BRIDGe service; communications are conveyed to caregivers and family members (observers) via the BRIDGe application. NOTE: the use of this mode implies acceptance of the terms and conditions, as well as the privacy policy of the BRIDGe service.

LYOTECH respects the privacy of its customers, especially fragile people. The collection, processing and communication of the data in question to the observers is carried out for the sole purpose of detecting any criticalities in the behavior of the monitored subject that are relevant to improve their quality of life. For this reason, the data processed is limited only to the data necessary for the purposes described above.

The recipients of the treatment - the data subjects - are the monitored subjects.
