OneImpact CAR Privacy Policy

OneImpact CAR is a digital health solution platform developed by the Stop TB Partnership and community and civil society partners, powered by Dure Technologies, to enhance and support community-led monitoring of the TB response. Respect for your privacy and confidentiality is key to the success of community-led monitoring. This OneImpact CAR Privacy Policy is therefore meant to help you understand what information OneImpact CAR collects from you, how the information is used, where the information is stored, with whom the information is shared, and how you can manage or delete your information.

What kinds of information does OneImpact CAR collect?

OneImpact CAR collects six kinds of information:

• Personal Information: OneImpact CAR collects the personal information you provide in the Registration Form which appears in your User Profile. The Registration Form may require you to provide your age, gender, the type of user you are, the kind of TB you have, whether you identify as a TB key population, and information about your health facility. If you identify as a TB key population, in doing so you may provide personal information about your occupation, your income status, your legal status as a prisoner, your immigration status, whether you use drugs, whether you have a disability, or your ethnicity.
• Geolocation Data: If you allow it to do so, OneImpact CAR collects geolocation data about where your device—and therefore oftentimes where you—are located. This data is collected using the Global Positioning System (GPS).
• Health Information: OneImpact CAR collects information about your health that you provide in the Registration Form, and possibly in the Get Involved section or in surveys that may be conducted from time to time in the app. This includes information about your TB, if you are living with HIV, your health care, the health care of your family or close contacts, and possibly other health-related information.
• Chat Information: OneImpact CAR collects the information you provide when you chat with other users in the Get Connected section.
• Report Information: OneImpact CAR collects the information you provide when you submit a report in the Get Involved section. This is the information you provide in ticking the boxes that apply to you when you submit a report about a TB Challenge.
• Device Information: OneImpact CAR collects information about the device on which you have installed OneImpact CAR. This includes unique identifiers, browser type and settings, device type and settings, and operating system.

How does OneImpact CAR use your information?

The information OneImpact CAR collects from you is used in the following ways:

• Personal Information: The personal information you provide in the Registration Form is used to identify you as a unique individual and to allow you to report and obtain resolutions for TB Challenges. Your personal information may also be de-identified and aggregated with other users’ information for analysis to better understand and improve the TB response in your country and around the world.
• Geolocation Data: The geolocation data about where your device—and therefore oftentimes where you—are located is used to identify and show you the nearest health facilities, to track the location of where reports about TB Challenges are submitted, and—in aggregated, deidentified form—for analysis to better understand and improve the TB response in your country and around the world.
• Health Information: The information you provide about your health is used to enable resolutions for the TB Challenges you report and—in aggregated, deidentified form—for analysis to better understand and improve the TB response in your country and around the world.
• Chat Information: The information you provide in your chats in the Get Connected section is not used for any purpose beyond allowing you to communicate with other OneImpact CAR users.
• Report Information: The information you provided in the Get Involved section by ticking the boxes that apply to you when you submit a report about a TB Challenge is used to enable resolutions for the TB Challenges you report and—in aggregated, deidentified form—for analysis to better understand and improve the TB response in your country and around the world.
• Device Information: The information OneImpact CAR collects about your device is used to facilitate updates in the app to maintain and improve OneImpact CAR’s operation.

Where is your information stored, who stores it, and for how long?

The information OneImpact CAR collects from you is stored as digital data by a commercial cloud computing service that is owned and controlled by Dure Technologies, Microsoft Azure. With this service, your data is stored on a physical server in the United States of America, where Microsoft is based. For some countries using OneImpact CAR, your data is stored locally on a physical server in your country. You can find out where your information is stored.

With the exception of the information you provide in your chats in the Get Connected section, the data collected by OneImpact CAR is stored for as long as the project is in operation in your country or until you submit a request to delete your account and its data.

How is your information shared?

With a few exceptions, the information collected by OneImpact CAR is only accessible to the individuals involved in the project at the organization implementing OneImpact CAR in your country. This includes your personal information, the information you provide about your health, and your geolocation data.

All information shared with individuals outside the OneImpact CAR implementing organization, including government authorities, is stripped of all personally identifiable information. This means your data is de-identified, so that it is very difficult to impossible for anyone to identify you or your information. Often, when your data is shared in this way, it will be aggregated with the data from other OneImpact CAR users. However, you may consent to allowing your personal information to be shared with first responders, such as the information you provide when you submit a report about a TB Challenge in the Get Involved section.

The information you provide in your chats in the Get Connected section is not accessible to anyone beyond the OneImpact CAR users with whom you chat and the moderator of the forum from the organization implementing OneImpact CAR.

How can you manage or delete your information or contact the Stop TB Partnership or Dure Technologies?

You may manage or delete your OneImpact CAR account by following the steps mentioned here.

If your data has been de-identified and aggregated with other OneImpact CAR user data, it cannot be deleted. However, as explained above, it will be difficult to impossible to identify you or your data when it is in this format.

If you have any questions about your OneImpact CAR account or information, this Privacy Policy, or OneImpact CAR more generally, you may contact support@stoptb.org.
