World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS) (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect and use information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data when you use the WHIS website and the WHIS mobile application (the “App”).

WHIS is a non-clinical wellbeing, innovation, and community platform.
WHIS does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical services.
We do not collect or process medical, clinical, diagnostic, or biometric data.

We only collect information that is necessary to operate and improve the WHIS platform. This may include:

• Name
• Email address
• Organisation or affiliation (if provided)
• Account login details
• Basic usage data (e.g. app interactions, features used)

We do not knowingly collect sensitive health data.

WHIS does not collect:

• Medical records
• Health conditions or diagnoses
• Biometric data
• Genetic data
• Location tracking beyond basic technical requirements
• Payment or financial data (unless explicitly stated for a specific service)

We use your information to:

• Provide access to the WHIS platform
• Manage user accounts
• Communicate updates, events, or relevant information
• Improve platform functionality and user experience
• Maintain platform security and integrity

We do not sell your personal data.

We process personal data under the following lawful bases:

• Consent – where you opt in to communications or platform participation
• Contract – where processing is necessary to provide platform access

All service providers are required to handle data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

• Secure hosting environments
• Access controls
• Encryption where appropriate

No system is completely secure, but we work to protect your information against unauthorised access or misuse.

As a global platform, some data may be processed outside the United Kingdom.
Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request correction or deletion of your data
