Training#

You will be prompted as part of onboarding, and periodically going forward, to complete the following security training:

Acceptable use policy for end-user computing#

Tuna policy requires that:

(a) Per Tuna security architecture, all workforce members are primarily considered as remote users and therefore must follow all system access controls and procedures for remote access.

(b) Use of Tuna computing systems is subject to monitoring by Tuna IT and/or Security team.

(c) Employees may not leave computing devices (including laptops and smart devices) used for business purpose, including company-provided and BYOD devices, unattended in public.

(d) Device encryption must be enabled for all mobile devices accessing company data, such as whole-disk encryption for all laptops.

(e) Use only legal, approved software with a valid license. Do not use personal software for business purposes and vice versa.

(f) Encrypt all email messages containing sensitive or confidential data.

(g) Employees may not post any sensitive or confidential data in public forums or chat rooms. If a posting is needed to obtain technical support, data must be sanitized to remove any sensitive or confidential information prior to posting.

(h) Anti-malware or equivalent protection and monitoring must be installed and enabled on all endpoint systems that are commonly affected by malware, including workstations, laptops and servers.

(i) All data storage devices and media must be managed according to the Tuna Data Classification specifications and Data Handling procedures.

(j) Mobile devices are not allowed to connect directly to Tuna production environments.

Your responsibilities for computing devices#

Tuna provides company-issued laptops and workstations to all employees. Tuna currently does not require or support employees bringing their own computing devices.

The laptops and/or workstations assigned to you are yours to configure and manage according to company security policy and standards. You are responsible to

  • configure the system to meeting the configuration and management requirements, including password policy, screen protection timeout, host firewall, etc.;

  • ensure the required anti-malware protection and security monitoring agent is installed and running; and

  • install the latest security patches timely or enable auto-update.

IT and Security provides automated scripts for end-user system configurations and/or technical assistance as needed.

You are also responsible for maintaining a backup copy of the business files local on your laptop/workstation to the appropriate location on Tuna file sharing / team site (e.g. SharePoint). Examples of business files include, but are not limited to:

  • Documents (e.g. product specs, business plans)
  • Presentations
  • Reports and spreadsheets
  • Design files/images/diagrams
  • Meeting notes/recordings
  • Important records (e.g. approval notes)

!!! important

DO NOT backup critical data such as customer data or PII to file sharing sites.
If you have such critical data locally on your device, contact IT and
Security for the appropriate data management and protection solution.

Unless the local workstation/device has access to Critical data, backups of user workstations/devices are self managed by the device owner. Backups may be stored on an external hard drive or using a cloud service such as iCloud if and only if the data is both encrypted and password protected (passwords must meet Tuna requirements).

Getting help#

Support for most of our business applications are self-service, such as password reset via Keycloak.

If needed, users may use our internal service desk to request IT and Security support. Common requests include:

  • Password reset and access requests
  • Request new software and hardware
  • Technical support
  • Recommend changes to policies and processes

How to report an incident or suspicious activity#

You are responsible to report all suspicious activities and security-related incidents immediately to the Information Security team, by one of the following channels:

  • (preferred) “Report a security incident” by creating an issue on Jira and/or via the [internal help desk](](mailto:security@tuna.uy)

  • For non-sensitive, non-confidential security issues and concerns, employees may post questions on Tuna’s #infosec Slack channel.

  • Additionally, employees may report the incident to their direct manager.

  • To report a concern under the Whistleblower Policy, you may first discuss the concerns with your immediate manager, or report it directly to the CEO or COO. See the Whistleblower Policy section in the HR Security Policy for additional details.

When one individual provides us with information (including personal information) about another individual, we assume that the individual has permission and authority to do so and to consent on behalf of that individual to the collection and use of personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. Please contact us immediately if you become aware of an individual providing us with personal information about another individual without being authorized to do so, and we will act consistently with this Privacy Policy.

PAYMENT AND CARD INFORMATION. Some Tuna Services support payments and transactions with third parties. If you activate this feature, you must provide certain information for identification and verification, such as your name, billing address, credit, debit or other card number, card expiration date and CVV code. This information is used solely to check your financial qualifications and collect payment from you. We do not store your payment information. We use a third-party service provider to manage payment card processing. Note that third-party payment processors may retain this information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms. This service provider is not permitted to store, retain or use information you provide except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on our behalf.

INFORMATION WE RECEIVE FROM YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES#

USAGE AND DEVICE INFORMATION. When you use our Services, we receive certain usage data ("Usage and Device Information"). This includes information about your interaction with the Services, for example, when you view or search content, install or open applications or software, create or log into your account, import data into your account, or integrate a third-party service to your account. We may also collect data about the devices and computers you use to access our Services, including IP addresses, browser type, language, operating system, or mobile device information (including device and application identifiers), the referring web page, pages visited, location (depending on the permissions you have granted us), and cookie information.

HEALTH AND OTHER SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA. To the extent that information we collect directly from you is health data or another special category of sensitive personal data subject to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), we ask for your explicit consent to process such sensitive personal data. We obtain this consent separately when you take actions leading to our obtaining the data, for example, when you activate the activity tracking features in our Mobile Apps or grant us access to your health or activity data from another service. You can use your account settings or contact us to withdraw your consent at any time, including by stopping use of a feature, removing our access to a third-party service, requesting deletion your data or closing your account.

However, if we are acting as a service provider (a "Data Processor") processing your personal information on behalf of a third party that has collected such data from you, and such third party is the party that has the right to determine the purposes for which it will process your personal information and the means it will use to process your personal information (the "Data Controller"), then such Data Controller has the legal obligation to ask for your explicit consent to process your sensitive personal data (including health data), and we are not responsible for obtaining such consent from you. In such a scenario, the Data Controller may have their own, separate policies regarding the use and disclosure of your personal information, including any sensitive personal data you provide to such Data Controller. In such a scenario, this Privacy Policy does not apply to, we cannot control the activities of, and we are not responsible for the activities of the applicable Data Controller generally; this Privacy Policy only applies to our processing of your personal information that we, as a Data Processor, have been asked to process on behalf of the Data applicable Data Controller. We encourage you to review such Data Controller’s privacy policy and/or contact the applicable Data Controller for more information about the policies that apply to their use and disclosure of your personal information, including any sensitive personal data.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION#

We use the information we collect for the following purposes.

PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN THE SERVICES#

We use the information we collect to deliver the Services to you and honor our Terms of Service for each Service or business contract with you. For example,

  • to administer, operate, maintain and secure our Services;
  • to monitor and analyze trends, usage and activities in connection with our Services;
  • for accounting, recordkeeping, backup and administrative purposes;
  • to customize and improve the content of our communications, websites and social media accounts;
  • to provide customer service and support;
  • to communicate with you, including responding to your comments, questions and requests regarding our Services;
  • to process and complete transactions, and send you related information, including alerts and notifications about your service, purchase confirmations and invoices; and
  • to educate and train our workforce in data protection and customer support.

For the Services’ social features, we may use your information to help you find and connect with other users and to allow other users to find and connect with you. For example, your account contact information allows other users to add you as a friend. When another user has your email or mobile phone number in their contact list or in their friend network on a connected service, we may show that user that you are a user of the Services.

IMPROVE, PERSONALIZE, AND DEVELOP THE SERVICES#

We use the information we collect to improve and personalize the Services and to develop new ones. For example, we use the information to troubleshoot and protect against errors; perform data analysis and testing; conduct research and surveys and develop new features and Services.

COMMUNICATE WITH YOU#

We use your information when needed to send you Service notifications and respond to you when you contact us. We also use your information to promote new features or products that we think you would be interested in. You can control marketing communications and most Service notifications by using your notification preferences in account settings or via the "Unsubscribe" link in an email.

PROMOTE SAFETY AND SECURITY#

We use the information we collect to promote the safety and security of the Services, our users and other parties. For example, we may use the information

  • to authenticate users;
  • to facilitate secure payments;
  • to respond to a legal request or claim, conduct audits, and enforce our terms and policies;
  • to investigate and protect against fraud, malicious or unauthorized access, and other illegal activities; and
  • to demonstrate and verify compliance with our internal policies and procedures, and applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations, such as HIPAA and GDPR.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF DE-IDENTIFIED INFORMATION#

"De-identified" means that we have removed, or rendered unreadable through complex computational algorithms, your personally-identifiable information, such as your name, address, or birthdate. We may use de-identified information that we have obtained from our Services for various purposes, including for example:

  • In accordance with regulatory requirements, we may de-identify, store and use your information for internal quality control, validation and research and development. This is important for Tuna to maintain high quality Services. We may use de-identified information as permitted by law.
  • We may contribute de-identified genetic variants that we have observed in the course of providing our Services to publicly available databases such as ClinVar. We do this to increase understanding and raise awareness of the significance of genetic variants within the medical and scientific communities.
  • We may use or disclose de-identified information for general research and communications purposes. This may include analysis of this information to communicate observations and learnings, for example in the case of aggregated data. This may also include research collaborations with third parties, such as universities, hospitals or other laboratories, in which we utilize de-identified clinical cases, at the individual level or in the aggregate, in accordance with our study protocols, and we may present or publish such information. This may also include commercial collaborations with private companies for purposes such as to determine the prevalence of particular disorders or variants among the patients we have tested, or to determine whether any of the patients we have tested might be suitable for potential recruitment for research, clinical trials, or clinical care; however, we will not directly contact these patients about these opportunities without their prior written consent.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described above. For more information, please read our Cookie Policy.

For personal data subject to the GDPR, we rely on several legal bases to process the data. These include when you have given your consent, which you may withdraw at any time using your account settings and/or other tools; when the processing is necessary to perform a contract with you, like the Terms of Service; and our legitimate business interests, such as in improving, personalizing, and developing the Services, marketing new features or products that may be of interest, and promoting safety and security as described above.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION#

We do not share your personal information except in the limited circumstances described below.

WHEN YOU AGREE OR DIRECT US TO SHARE#

You may direct us to disclose your information to others, such as when you use our social features in our Mobile Apps. For certain information, you may change your privacy preferences in account settings and use other provided tools to control how your information is visible to other users of the Services.

You may also authorize us to share your information with others, for example, with a third-party application when you give it access to your account, or with your employer company or other organizations and provide consent to each organization. Remember that their use of your information will be governed by their privacy policies and terms. You can revoke your consent to share with third-party applications or employee wellness programs using your account settings.

FOR EXTERNAL PROCESSING#

We transfer information to our corporate affiliates, service providers and other partners who process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with this policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. These partners provide us with services globally, including for customer support, information technology, payments, sales, marketing, data analysis, research and surveys.

FOR LEGAL REASONS OR TO PREVENT HARM#

We may preserve or disclose information about you to comply with a law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; to assert legal rights or defend against legal claims; or to prevent, detect or investigate illegal activity, fraud, abuse, violations of our terms or threats to the security of the Services or the physical safety of any person. Please note: Our policy is to notify you of legal process seeking access to your information, such as search warrants, court orders or subpoenas, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so. In cases where a court order specifies a non-disclosure period, we provide delayed notice after the expiration of the non-disclosure period. Exceptions to our notice policy include exigent or counterproductive circumstances, for example, when there is an emergency involving a danger of death or serious physical injury to a person. We may share non-personal information that is aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. We may disclose such information publicly and to third parties, for example, in public reports about exercise and activity, to partners under agreement with us or as part of the community benchmarking information we provide to users of our subscription services. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will continue to take measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information and give affected users notice for the transferring of any personal information to a new entity.

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION#

You can access and control your personal information via account settings and/or our tools we provide to you, regardless of where you live. If you live in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland (the “Designated Countries”), you have a number of legal rights with respect to your information, as outlined below.

Accessing and Exporting Data. By logging into your account, you can access much of your personal information. Using your account settings or by contacting us, you can also request a download information in a commonly used file format, including data about your activities, body, foods and sleep.

Editing and Deleting Data. Your account settings and certain platform APIs let you change and delete your personal information and/or account data. For instance, you can edit or delete the profile data you provide and delete your account if you wish.

If you choose to delete your account, please note that while most of your information will be deleted within 14 days, it may take up to 90 days to delete all of your information, such as the data stored in our backup systems. This is due to the size and complexity of the systems we use to store data. We may also preserve data for legal reasons or to prevent harm, including as described in the How We Share Your Information section.

Objecting to Data Use. You can control usage of your data via account settings or other application APIs or tools. For example, you can

  • limit how your information is visible to other users of the Services;
  • limit the notifications you receive from us; and
  • revoke the access of third-party applications that you previously connected to your account.

If you live in a Designated Country, in certain circumstances, you can object to our processing of your information based on our legitimate interests, including as described in the How We Use Information section. You have a general right to object to the use of your information for direct marketing purposes. Please also review our Cookie Policy for your options to control how we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for advertising.

Restricting or Limiting Data Use. In addition to the various controls that we offer, if you reside in a Designated Country, you can seek to restrict our processing of your data in certain circumstances. Please note that you can always delete your account at any time.

Onward Transfers of Data. If we intend to disclose your personal information to any third party that will have the right to process it, we will enter into a contract with that third party that provides that your personal information may be processed only for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent you have provided to us, and that the third party must provide the same level of protection for your personal information that we are obligated to provide under this Privacy Policy while it is processing your personal information. In addition, we will notify you if that third party will have the right to determine the purposes for which it will process your personal information and the means it will use to process your personal information (rather than just providing requested assistance to us in support of our permitted uses of your personal information).

Changes to Privacy Policy. If we are using your personal information on the basis of your consent, and we change our Privacy Policy to permit any use or disclosure of your personal information that is materially different than the uses for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you, we will obtain your consent before we make such further uses of your personal information.

Further Assistance. If you need further assistance regarding your rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@tuna.uy, and we will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws. If you reside in a Designated Country and you are not satisfied with our response, you will have a prompt, no-cost way of asserting your claim by contacting our chosen independent dispute resolution body JAMS. If you reside in a Designated Country, you may have the right, under certain conditions, to invoke binding arbitration, and, alternatively, you also have a right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, our lead supervisory authority, whose contact information is available here.

GDPR Data Processing Agreement/Addendum ("DPA")#

Data Protection Addendum#

This Data Protection Addendum (this "Addendum") is made and entered into as of the date appearing on the signature page hereto (the "Effective Date") by and between Tuna Software, Inc ("Company") and the Supplier named on the signature page hereto, and upon execution shall be incorporated by reference into each agreement for services ("Services Agreement") pursuant to which Supplier may Process (as defined below) Personal Data (as defined below) for, from, or on behalf of Company.

A. Personal Data Protection#

For the purposes of this Addendum, the terms "Controller", "Data Subjects", "Personal Data", "Personal Data Breach", "Processor" and "Process" shall have the meaning as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 ("GDPR") or any successor European Union data protection framework.

The parties agree that to the extent Supplier, in the context of performing the agreed services, processes any Personal Data of Company, Supplier shall be the Processor and Company shall be the Controller of such Personal Data. Notwithstanding any obligations of Company as Controller under applicable data protection law, Supplier undertakes the following as Processor:

(a) to process any Personal Data only on behalf and in accordance with Company’s documented instructions and not for any purposes other than those described in this Addendum, unless (i) Company has given its express prior consent or (ii) Supplier is strictly required to do so under applicable European Data Protection Law (as defined below); in such a case, Supplier shall inform Company of that legal requirement before Processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest. The subject-matter and duration of the Processing, the nature and purpose of the Processing, the type of Personal Data and the categories of Data Subjects are further specified in Exhibit 1 to this Addendum.

(b) to comply with (i) the GDPR and any applicable European data protection laws and regulations (collectively “European Data Protection Law”), and (ii), in case Supplier is certified under the EU-U.S. and/or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, or any successor program recognized under European Data Protection Law to provide for an adequate level of data protection, the principles of such applicable Privacy Shield Framework or successor program, and (iii) all other applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations ((i) to (iii) collectively “Data Protection Laws”).

(c) to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the Processing, including by any Sub-Processors (as defined below), will meet the requirements under Data Protection Laws and ensure the protection of the rights of the Data Subjects, and to regularly test, assess and evaluate the effectiveness of and, as necessary, improve and update these measures. The measures shall ensure a level of data security appropriate to the risks for the rights and freedoms of the Data Subjects. In particular, Supplier shall protect the personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed.

(d) to keep Personal Data strictly confidential and to ensure, and be able to demonstrate on request, that (i) only those persons have access to the Personal Data who are authorized by Supplier and have a strict need to know the data for the purposes under this Addendum, and (ii) all persons with access to Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

(e) to disclose Personal Data to third parties, including affiliated companies, and/or to engage another Processor for the Processing of Personal Data (“Sub-Processor”) only with Company’s express prior consent. Where Supplier is authorized to engage another Sub-Processor for carrying out Processing activities on behalf of Company, Supplier shall enter into a written contract with the Sub-Processor which (i) imposes on the Sub-Processor the same data protection obligations as set forth in this Agreement, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the Processing will meet the requirements under Data Protection Laws, and (ii) grants Company the right to directly audit the Sub-Processor as set forth under Section A(j). Supplier shall promptly send a copy of any sub-processor agreement it concludes under this Section A(e) to Company. Supplier shall select the Sub-Processor diligently, taking into account the technical and organizational measures it has implemented, and ensure, by carrying out audits before and regularly after the commencement of the data processing by such Sub-Processor, that it maintains appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of European Data Protection Law. Supplier shall remain fully liable to Company for the performance of this Agreement and be responsible and liable for any act or omission of the Sub-Processor with respect to its data protection obligations.

(f) to assist Company, including by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible and taking into the nature of the processing, in fulfilling its obligations in relation to requests from Data Subjects for exercising their Data Subject’s rights under Data Protection Laws, including, but not limited to, the Data Subject’s right of access, right to rectification and erasure, right to restriction of processing, right to data portability and right to object, as provided for under the GDPR.

(g) to assist Company, taking into account the nature of the processing and information available to Supplier, in ensuring compliance with the obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws, including, in particular, by providing all information and assistance to enable Company (i) to comply with applicable data security obligations, (ii) to carry out a data protection impact assessment or prior consultation with the supervisory authority, as required under European Data Protection Law, and (iii) to respond promptly and properly to any enquiries concerning the Processing of Personal Data and cooperate in good faith with the supervisory authorities, the Data Subjects or any third party within a reasonable time. Supplier shall not communicate with any supervisory authority, Data Subject or any third party in connection with the Processing of Company's Personal Data without prior approval from Company, except as expressly permitted in this Section A.

(h) to notify Company, without undue delay, in writing or via e-mail (i) of any intended change of the locations currently set out in Exhibit 1 to this Addendum for the Processing of Personal Data, (ii) in case of a dispute, claim or request brought by a Data Subject directly against Supplier, (iii) in the event of any measure, request or other communication by a supervisory authority, including about any legally binding request for access or disclosure of Personal Data by a public authority (unless otherwise legally prohibited, in which case the Supplier will use its best efforts to obtain the right to waive this prohibition), and provide reasonable assistance if Company wishes to contest the request, and (iv) of any suspected or actual Personal Data Breach, any breach of applicable Data Protection Laws or of this Addendum. Supplier shall promptly remedy any breach and cooperate with Company in the investigation and remedy of such breaches and provide all reasonable assistance and information to enable Company to comply with, or, as applicable, to avoid, any data breach notification obligations vis-à-vis supervisory authorities and/or Data Subjects. Supplier shall further immediately inform Company if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes Data Protection Laws and/or Supplier becomes aware of the existence of any local laws that would have a substantial adverse effect on the guarantees and undertakings provided for under this Addendum.

(i) at the choice of Company, to return to Company (in a standard format facilitating portability) and/or to securely delete/destroy all Personal Data, including all existing copies thereof, in accordance with Company’s instructions, within thirty (30) days upon Company’s request or after the end of the provision of the services relating to Processing, and to certify to Company in writing that it has done so. Supplier shall not be obliged to delete/destroy all copies of the Personal Data where a longer storage by Supplier is required under European Data Protection Law, in which case Supplier shall inform Company accordingly, including about the legal grounds for, and the term of, any further storage;

(j) to make available to Company all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations under Data Protection Laws applicable to Company and to allow for and contribute to audits, including on-site inspections, conducted by Company or another auditor mandated by Company. (k) to enter into any further agreements that may be required under Data Protection Laws relating to Personal Data, and to provide all other assistance and support to Company.

B. Changes to this Addendum#

The parties agree that, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, such as due to legislative changes, court decisions, and/or to reflect measures or guidance from the competent supervisory authorities or the European Commission, including, without limitation, the adoption of standards for contracts with processors according to Art. 28(7) or (8) GDPR or the invalidation, amendment, replacement or repeal of a decision adopted by the EU Commission in relation to international data transfers on the basis of Art. 45(3) or Art. 46(2) GDPR or on the basis of Article 25(6) or 26(4) of EU Directive 95/46/EC, such as, in particular, with respect to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or similar transfer mechanisms, Company may request reasonable changes or additions to this Addendum to reflect applicable requirements.

C. Third party beneficiary clause#

The parties agree that affiliates of the Company shall be entitled under and can enforce the terms of this Addendum against Supplier as third-party beneficiaries.

D. Termination#

In the event of Supplier’s violation of any obligation under Data Protection Laws or this Addendum, Company, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have, shall be entitled to terminate any Services Agreement forthwith.
