At Optimus Therapy, we are committed to continuously improving our platform and methods for language and communication recovery for individuals with aphasia. To achieve this, we use anonymized data for research and development purposes to optimize our services and contribute to advancements in aphasia therapy research. This policy explains how anonymized data is collected, processed, and used.
What Does Data Anonymization Mean?
Data anonymization involves removing all personal identifiers from the collected data so that this information can no longer be associated with a specific user. Through this process, the data becomes irreversible, meaning the user’s identity cannot be reconstructed from the anonymized information.
What Types of Data Are Anonymized?
We may anonymize the following types of data collected from platform users:
User progress during recovery sessions
Statistical data about platform usage (e.g., number of sessions, session durations, types of exercises used)
Data related to learning and speech patterns identified during therapy
Data about user responses and interactions with the platform, excluding any personally identifiable information
How Is Anonymized Data Used?
Anonymized data is used for the following purposes:
Research: Data is analyzed to better understand the effectiveness of therapy methods and to identify new approaches that can assist in the recovery of individuals with aphasia.
Development: Anonymized data is used to enhance our platform, develop new features, and better personalize the experience for future users.
Reporting: Data may be included in statistical studies, reports, or published research, but always in a fully anonymized format, with no possibility of identifying individual users.
Security of Anonymized Data
Even though the data is anonymized, we ensure a high level of security to protect this information. Our measures include:
Encryption: Data is encrypted during transfer and storage.
Limited Access: Access to anonymized data is restricted to our authorized personnel involved in research and development.
Protection Against Reidentification: We ensure that anonymized data does not contain information that could allow user reidentification, and our anonymization process follows industry best practices.
Consent for the Use of Anonymized Data
The use of anonymized data for research and development is based solely on your consent. When creating an account or during platform use, you will be asked for your consent to process your anonymized data for research and development purposes. You may withdraw this consent at any time, and withdrawal will not affect your continued use of the platform.
Your Rights
Even though data used for research and development is anonymized, you have the right to:
Request Information about how anonymized data is processed.
Refuse or Withdraw Consent for the use of your anonymized data for research and development purposes.
