Privacy Policy

We value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Effective Date: April 7, 2026
Data Controller: Seoul Oncology Creative Lab

1. Introduction

Seoul Oncology Creative Lab (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information when you use Seoul Oncology Creative Platform (the “Service”).

2. Information We Collect

  • Account Information: Name, email address, login credentials, and other registration details.
  • Device & Usage Data: Device identifiers, IP address, browser type, and interaction logs with our Service.
  • Health & Biometric Data: Data obtained through connected wearable devices (e.g., Fitbit) such as heart rate, activity, sleep, or other health indicators, only when you authorize such integration.
  • Communication Data: Inquiries, feedback, and messages sent to our support channels.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

  • Provide and maintain the Service, including personalized insights or analytics.
  • Analyze treatment progress and patient engagement through biometric indicators.
  • Enhance user experience and improve Service functionality.
  • Respond to user inquiries and technical support requests.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data in the following cases:

  • With trusted service providers under data protection agreements (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics).
  • With medical or research partners, only in anonymized and aggregated form.
  • When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.

5. Biometric & Health Data

If you connect a wearable device such as Fitbit, we may process biometric data (e.g., heart rate, sleep, step count) solely to provide the Service — for example, the analysis of cancer patient treatment progress based on biometric data. We do not use such data for marketing or share it with third parties without your explicit consent.

Important: We are not a healthcare provider. The Service and any analytics provided are for informational and research purposes only, not for diagnosis or treatment.

5-1. Google Health Connect Data (SOC Health App)

Our mobile application SOC Health reads health and fitness data from Google Health Connect on Android devices. This data is collected only with your explicit permission granted through the Health Connect permissions dialog.

Data Types We Read

  • Heart Rate: Real-time heart rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV)
  • Activity: Steps, distance, active/total calories burned, exercise sessions, active zone minutes
  • Sleep: Sleep sessions, sleep stages (deep, light, REM, awake), sleep duration
  • Vitals: Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiratory rate, body temperature
  • Body Measurements: Weight, height, body fat, basal metabolic rate
  • Wearable Sensors: Real-time sensor data from Samsung Galaxy Watch (heart rate, accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, skin temperature) via Wear OS Data Layer

How We Use Health Connect Data

  • To display health metrics and trends on your personal dashboard
  • To support clinical research and treatment progress monitoring (with your consent)
  • To sync data securely to our server for persistent storage and analysis

What We Do NOT Do

  • We do not write or modify any data in Health Connect — we only read.
  • We do not sell Health Connect data to third parties.
  • We do not use Health Connect data for advertising or marketing purposes.
  • We do not share identifiable Health Connect data with third parties without your explicit consent.

You can revoke Health Connect permissions at any time through your device's Settings → Apps → Health Connect → App permissions.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

8. Your Rights

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

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Withdraw consent for processing biometric or sensitive data.
  • Request data portability or restriction of processing.
  • File a complaint with a data protection authority.

Upon receiving your request, we will delete all your personal data, including health and biometric data, within 30 days. You will receive confirmation once the deletion is complete. Please note that some data may be retained if required by applicable laws or regulations.

Your information may be transferred and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and include appropriate safeguards.
