Privacy Policy
We hope that you enjoy using our services, safe in the knowledge that we are committed to protecting your privacy and security online.
​
Who we are and what this policy is for
We are:
InteractAI , a company registered in Singapore.
​
Our customers are medical service providers and they use our software as a service to provide worldwide computer-based and virtual reality training to their healthcare personnel.
When you use our website and access our online platform, we are the controller for some of your information (which means that we decide what personal data we collect from you and how it is used).
Where you are employed or engaged by our customer and they have given you access to our service, we process some of your information on their behalf. Here, they are the controller and we are their processor (which means we must follow the instructions they give us).
This policy explains how we collect, use and store your information when you use our Services (any training you access via our computer programmes, simulation platform, websites, mobile applications and other electronic sources we operate).
We update this policy from time to time, but the recent version will always be available on our website.
1. Your information – what information we collect and who we receive it from
1.1 Personal data is any information that can (or could be used) to identify you, whether digital or hardcopy.
1.2 We have grouped together the types of personal data that we collect and who we receive it from below:

​

You can find more information about what cookies (and similar technologies) are and how we use them by reading our Cookie Policy.
1.2.3 Information we receive from our customers
​​
-
account set up details: where our customer (likely your employer or the institute organising your training) has asked us to create accounts on their behalf, they provide details such as contact information, such as name, company name, job title, address, e-mail address, and phone number.
​
1.3 When we collect personal data we sometimes anonymise it (so it is no longer possible to identify who it relates to) and then we combine it with other anonymous information. This combined anonymous information is called aggregated data and it helps us identify trends (for example, how successful an advertising campaign was). This type of information is not subject to data protection law (because it is now just statistical and cannot be used to identify individuals).
​

8. Additional information for individuals based in UK or EEA

Access: you must be told if your personal data is being used. You can ask for a copy of your personal data as well as information about how we are using it to make sure we are abiding by the law.
​
-
Correct: you can ask us to correct your personal data if it is inaccurate or incomplete. We might need to verify the new information before we make any changes.
​
-
Delete (also known as the right to be forgotten): you can ask us to delete or remove your personal data if there is no good reason for us to continuing holding it or if you have asked us to stop using it (see below). If we think there is a good reason to keep the information you have asked us to delete (e.g. to comply with regulatory requirements), we will let you know and explain our decision.
​
-
Restrict: you can ask us to restrict how we use your personal data and temporarily limit the way we use it (e.g. whilst you check that the personal data we hold for you is correct)
​
-
Object: you can object to us using your personal data if you want us to stop using it. We always comply with your request if you ask us to stop sending you marketing but in other cases, we decide whether we will continue. If we think there is a good reason for us to keep using your information, we will let you know and explain our decision.
​
-
Move (also known as the right to portability): You can ask us to send you or another organisation an electronic copy of your personal data.
​
-
Complain: we hope that we can answer any questions or respond to any concerns you might have, so please contact us in the first instance by emailing infosec@oxfordmedicalsimulation.com. However, if you are unsatisfied with our response or would prefer to escalate immediately, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office. Their website contact page is linked here.
8.2 It is usually free for you to exercise your rights and we aim to respond within 30 days (although we may ask you if we can extend this deadline up to a maximum of 60 days if your request is particularly complex or we receive multiple requests at once).
8.3 We can decide not to take any action in relation to a request where we have been unable to confirm your identity (this is one of our security processes to make sure we keep information safe) or if we feel the request is unfounded or excessive. If this happens we will always inform you in writing.
8.4 The only time we charge a fee if where we decide to proceed with a request that we believe is unfounded or excessive.
8.5 We do not respond directly to requests which relate to personal data for which we act as the processor. In this situation, we forward your request to the relevant controller and await their instruction before we take any action.
8.6 To make a request, please email infosec@oxfordmedicalsimulation.com.
9. Additional information for individuals based in the State of California
​
9.1 Any reference to personal data in this policy include references to personal information as defined under California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
9.2 You have specific legal rights under the CCPA which differ from the rights granted to individuals based in the UK and EEA. They are the right to:
​
-
Access and delete: the rights to access and delete information as described in section 8.1 is limited to the personal data that we have collected over the previous 12 months and are subject to the exceptions set out in the CCPA.
​
-
Opt-out of sale of information: we do not sell your personal data but you are free to inform us that you wish us to continue with this policy.
​
-
Non-discrimination: you must not face any discrimination for exercising your legal rights under the CCPA (such as denying you access to our Services).
9.3 We confirm that we have not sold any personal data in the past 12 months.
​
9.4 For the purposes of the CCPA, we are deemed to routinely undertake disclosures of personal information to third parties for business purposes. We enter contracts with those third parties which include binding confidentiality clauses and restrictions which prevent them using your information for any other purpose. In the past 12 months we have disclosed all of the categories of personal information listed at section 1.2 with our supply chain for the purposes of hosting our Services, detecting and protecting against security incidents and debugging to identify and repair errors.
​
9.5 You (or another person authorised by you and registered with the California Secretary of State) can make a request under the CCPA by emailing infosec@oxfordmedicalsimulation.com.

Cookie Policy
​
This policy explains what cookies we use and why we use them. We update this policy when the cookies we use change, but the most recent version will always be available on our website.
​
What are cookies?
​
A cookie is a text file containing small amounts of information which is downloaded to your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you access a website. Cookies allow information gathered on one webpage to be stored until it is needed for use on another, allowing a website to provide you with a personalised experience (like remembering your favourites) and the website owner with statistics about how you interact with their (and sometimes third party) webpages.
Cookies are not harmful to your devices (like a virus or malicious code) but some individuals prefer not to share their information (for example, to avoid targeted advertising).
Different types of cookies
​
-
Session vs. persistent cookies: cookies have a limited lifespan. Cookies which only last a short time or end when you close your browser are called session cookies. Cookies which remain on your device for longer are called persistent cookies (these are the type of cookies allow websites to remember your details when you log back onto them).
​
-
First party vs third party cookies: cookies placed on your device by the website owner are called first party cookies. When the website owner uses other businesses’ technology to help them manage and monitor their website (for example, they use Google Analytics to see how many visitors their website has), the cookies added by the other business are called third party cookies.
​
-
Necessary vs. performance vs. marketing cookies: cookies can be grouped by what they help the website or website owner do. Necessary cookies are cookies which help the website to run properly (when they are strictly necessary cookies it means their only function is to help the website work). Performance cookies help a website owner understand and analyse how website visitors use their website. Marketing cookies tailor online adverts to reflect the content you have previously browse and help inform companies about your interests so they can show you relevant adverts.
