Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information about how these third parties process your data.
Some of the data mentioned above, collected from you and processed by Lifesum for certain features of the Services, is possible for us to delete and cease processing for the future if you so require, without you having to terminate your use of the entire Services, i.e., not all data (submitted over time by you to us either directly or through third-party services) is required for you to still be able to use the Services. If you want us to cease processing certain data about you under this category, we will inform about the consequences of such cease, i.e., how it will affect your use of the features of the Services.

Lifesum’s Services are based on a profound knowledge of best practice with regard to health. Lifesum cooperates with nutritionists, behavioral psychologists, personal trainers, stress experts to stay on top of the latest research and science. In addition, Lifesum analyze the usage of the Services, in order to provide you as a user with the most relevant features of the Services as possible with regard to your personal goals. In analyzing the usage of the Services, Lifesum will process certain data for so-called profiling. Profiling means processing of your and other users’ personal data to analyze or predict aspects of your use of the Services, behavior and location in reaching your health goal. The data processed will be user habits where we will track actions taken by you such as when you move between screens, press buttons and take actions on the Services. The purposes of the profiling is to monitor how engaged users are in different features of our Services, find out ways to make the Service more effective (fit for purpose) and vary the features or content to better match your individual usage patterns and preferences.
The profiling of your data can also be used as the basis for marketing towards other new potential customers on other platforms than the LIFESUM Services, such as other social media platforms. Please note that this so called look-a-like-process of recruiting new customers does not mean that you will receive any marketing. Nor does it mean that any other third parties will gain access to your data for any other purpose than for LIFESUM to reach new customers, i.e. third party providers (for example social media) will only process your data on behalf of LIFESUM as processors, see further under transfer of data below.
Lifesum may use your personal data for profiling and direct marketing purposes via emails, notifications, or other messages, by Lifesum or Lifesum’s selected business partners. Profiling will be used for marketing purposes to enable personalized and relevant offers to you, based on your preferences, see more above under Profiling.
The use of personal data for direct marketing purposes will only concern such offers that have a close relation to your use of the Service and the offers will be sent to you by Lifesum. This processing is based on a legitimate interest, on our side the interest to offer you the best possible service, on your side the possibility to be offered relevant products and services relevant to your use of the Service and for third parties to reach you with such offers.
In case you do not want Lifesum to use your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you may at any time unsubscribe from any further messages by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of such a message, or by using such opt-out features as are available in the app settings in the Services.
Lifesum may present you with ads within the free version of the app. With your consent, your data may be used to build a profile of your interests and use such profile information to serve you more relevant ads. To users that do not consent to ads personalization, we may still serve non-personalized ads based on legitimate interests.

However, Lifesum may in some instances be able to cease the processing of some personal data for certain parts of the Lifesum Services, without you having to terminate the use of the entire Lifesum Services. Please see regarding this the sections “Data necessary to provide the Services” and “Opt-out from marketing” above.

Additionally, we periodically review the need to store or delete your personal data if your account has been inactive, which usually occurs after a period of five (5) years after you have been persistently inactive on the Lifesum Services. These periodic reviews occur in order to ensure that we do not store your personal data for a longer time than necessary, while also allowing you to return to using your account after a period of inactivity (which according to our experience can be common for some users).
Personal data collected from you may be shared with third-party providers of Lifesum that process personal data on behalf of Lifesum; such as server hosting providers, data storage providers, companies carrying out system and sales performance monitoring, customer support systems- and payment service providers.

We may also transfer your personal data in the event that our business (or part of it) is sold, for instance as part of a merger or acquisition. Lifesum will always apply safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized disclosure. In case of transfer of data to third parties that are outside of the EU or EEA and that do not offer an adequate level of data protection, Lifesum will apply the EU Commission’s model clauses and/or binding corporate rules, or similar instruments/mechanism, for the safeguarding of integrity and security.
Lifesum may further disclose your personal data in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, if we reasonably believe that this is required by law, regulation or other legislation, or in order to protect and defend Lifesum, our business partners or users’ rights and interests, subject always to relevant applicable personal data regulation.
You have the right to receive your personal data which you have provided to Lifesum, in accordance with relevant personal data regulation, provided that such request does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
