We also collect outcome data, corresponding to your performance of activities in the BeCare mobile App, which is used to assess your performance on the BeCare App, and to serve as a baseline to compare to your past performance. This data is also analyzed by certain machine learning algorithms (MLA’s), to assist you or your healthcare provider to learn insights from data that the App has stored in the BeCare Cloud. Your outcome data may be aggregated with outcome data from other users to derive insights using big data techniques by either BeCare Link or its business or research partners.

When you participate in social features (such as chat), the information that you disclose is public information. We may store and access it, and it may be read, copied, collected or used by other users without your consent. Please make sure your privacy settings reflect your preferences.
