Information on Data Use

HANDLING OF PERSONAL DATA

The app requests for users’ age and gender. While using the app, the app takes photos and movies to scan the redness of cheeks and fingers so it can analyze the balance of autonomic nerves, sympathetic nerves, and parasympathetic nerves to evaluate fatigue level of users.

The photos and movies won’t be saved and shared to third parties. A report including findings from our interview will be given to our client in Japan, and will not be disclosed to the public, unless required by law and regulation.

Your name and the name of your organization will NOT be shared and anonymised. The interview will be recorded and only members of fermata inc. will have access to the raw data.

You may have access to a section of the report that corresponds to your interview, but only upon request and the report will be in Japanese.
