2. How we use your personal information

We may use your Personal Information for the following purposes:

To provide you with access to our Platform and Services. We may use your Personal Information to provide you with access to our Platform and to any consultations, information, products, or Services that you request from us. More specifically, we may use your Personal Information to:

Determine your eligibility to access the Platform and our Services;
Create and administer your account when you register on our Platform;
Deliver our Services;
Communicate with you with respect to the Platform registration and your account, respond to your inquiries; and
Present service options and resources available to you.

To administer the Platform and Services. We may use your Personal Information for the administration
of the Services, including but not limited to:

Carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts we may have with you, notably our Terms of Use, including for billing and collection or to comply with legal requirements;
Implement and maintain safeguards that protect your Personal Information;
Improve your experience on the Platform such as with simplifying your sign-up and login process; and
Improve our Member support process.

To support our health care providers in the administration of their professional and legislative obligations. In order to provide you with our Services, we employ health care providers who are subject to various professional and legislative requirements pertaining to the protection of your Personal Information, including Personal Health Information. We offer various legal, administrative, technical and information management services to these providers to ensure they meet their privacy and confidentiality requirements.

By way of example, in Alberta, health care providers are Custodians and retain ultimate accountability for the management and protection of the Personal Health Information they collect from you. We provide these health care providers with information management services to help administer their obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws. For more information on our information management program for Custodians in Alberta, please contact us at privacy@dialogue.co.

To communicate with you. We may use your Personal Information to communicate with you, including to:

Provide you with account-related information, or any information necessary to provide you with the Services you’ve requested from us;
Notify you about new products or services, new partnerships and other key information on Dialogue;
Notify you about changes to our Platform or to our Services;
Provide you with useful health and wellness information about trends and best practices in health care, mental health and well-being and other relevant topics in connection with our Services; and
We may also use your Personal Information to communicate with you in a variety of ways (through the Platform, by email, telephone, text message, or direct mail) about our programs, products, and Services.

To conduct studies and research. We may use your Personal Information for research and statistical purposes, including for medical research purposes and to improve health outcomes. When required by law, we use De-identified or Anonymized information to achieve these purposes.

We may also use your Anonymized information we receive from your employer or insurer for internal data analysis purposes (for example, to understand and demonstrate the use and utility of our Services) and to create aggregated reports that do not allow your identification.

To monitor Platform usage and conduct Platform analytics in order to improve our Services. As with many applications, some data is required for the Platform to function on your devices. This data includes the type of device hardware and operating system, unique device identifier, IP address, language settings, and the date and time the Platform accesses our servers. We use this information and your Personal Information to help us understand the activity on the Platform, monitor and improve the Platform and Services and to tailor your experience. In addition, we may use vendors to collect analytical information about your use of the Platform, such as features used and time spent on the Platform. This helps us tailor your experience, improve our products and the quality of the Platform, and to manage and analyze data in order to better understand our Members.

For example, the information obtained through our surveys and questionnaires is used in an Aggregated and Non-identifiable form. We use this information to help us understand our Members and to enhance our products and Services. If you complete a Health Profile, the responses you provide in a Health Profile may be used to identify additional resources and Services that may be of interest to you in the Platform.

To send you promotional content regarding our Services and Platforms. We may use your Personal Information (if you have opted in, where required by Applicable Privacy Laws) to provide you with personalized content and services, such as tailoring our offerings to your interests and interactions with us, and deciding which offers or promotions to show you on our digital channels. We may do so in a variety of ways (for example, through the Platform, including push notifications, by email, telephone, text message, or direct mail).

You may unsubscribe from these at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included at the bottom of each email or message or by changing the notification settings in the Platform (see “Notifications” tab in “Settings”). Alternatively, you can unsubscribe by contacting us at support@dialogue.co. This does not apply to communications necessary to render the Services or otherwise interact with you regarding your account.

To protect your rights and Dialogue’s rights. We may use your Personal Information to protect you, our rights, property and safety and those of our employees, clients and the public, to detect and prevent fraud and to comply with legal requirements.

To use vendors that support our Platform. We may transfer your Personal Information, including your Personal Health Information, to vendors that provide us with services including payment solution, backup and server hosting solution, software and IT maintenance, data analytics. We may also use vendors who assist with the authentication of individuals and with Member engagement, creative marketing materials services, health care and other external providers, and medical research and studies. To ensure adequate protection of Personal Information upon such transfers, Dialogue has implemented policies and guidelines to perform rigorous vendor privacy and security assessments prior to such transfers. We also use technical and contractual safeguards to protect the information we transfer and limit its transfer and use to what is necessary for the vendor to perform the service.

To generate Non-identifiable information. We may Aggregate your Personal Information, for the following purposes:

To protect the privacy and the security of your Personal Information;
To conduct research and analytics with the goal of improving our Services and the Member experience and developing new offerings. We may share such Non-identifiable information or insights with limited third parties to assist in research, analytics, planning, or product and service development;
