manage_search Scope of this privacy policy
TikCare is owned by SilverX Limited ("the Company", "we", "us", or "our"), which is the company that collects and processes personal data for the purposes described in this policy.
This Privacy Policy covers our collection, use and disclosure of information about identifiable individuals and information which can be used to identify an individual ("Personal Data"). Personal Data does not include "aggregate" information which we aggregate from information (including Personal Data) you provide to us. Personal Data may be collected about our customers, visitors to our websites and applications, employees and end users of our services.
Healthcare practitioners ("Practitioners") and enterprises e.g. health service providers, employers and insurers ("Enterprises") are responsible for maintaining their own privacy policies governing the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Data and for obtaining the necessary authorizations and consents before any Personal Data are made available to us for use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
You represent and warrant that you have permission to share any information you elect to provide to us, you consent to such information being shared with third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, and that such information is accurate, current, non-misleading, and consistent and relevant for the purpose for which you are providing information.
database Information we collect
We collect and hold the following categories of information, including personal information, health information, payment information, device information, and general information to provide and improve our services.
This includes information about you that is reasonably identifiable, for example, your name, address, date of birth, gender, identification number, phone number and email address. Where you are a Practitioner, we may also collect information relating to your practice, professional background and specialty.
We may collect information from you in order to pay for our services, or for us to make claims on your behalf. This may include credit card information, bank account details and claim details.
This includes any health information you provide when accessing or using our services. We may collect health information from you for the purposes of facilitating the delivery of healthcare services to you. We may also collect health information of patients from Practitioners, including where a Practitioner has treated a patient arising out of, or in connection with the our services. This may include information that a Practitioner provides directly to us, or otherwise makes available to us. The types of health information may include but not limited to your medical history, clinical notes, test results, vital signs, disease status, prescribed treatment and medications (amongst others).
We may collect biometric data from you, for example, face data and voice.
Face data
When you use the vital scan function, the App collects facial images and video recordings through your device's camera. Specifically, the App captures:
- Facial video recordings during the scanning process (typically around 60s)
- Facial images extracted from video frames
- Biometric data derived from facial analysis, including subtle color changes in facial tissue that are used to estimate vital signs using Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology
The App does NOT use facial recognition technology to identify individuals. Facial data is never retained. The facial data is processed locally on your device and used solely for vital signs estimation.
Planned uses of collected face data: The face data collected is used exclusively for the following purposes: (a) To analyze facial tissue color changes and extract vital signs measurements using rPPG technology (b) To generate health reports and provide personalized health information (c) To improve the accuracy of vital signs measurements through algorithm refinement (d) To store health records associated with your account for your reference
The facial images and videos are processed in real-time during the scan and are not stored as separate image or video files. Only the derived vital signs data and health metrics are stored in your account.
Face data is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to external servers as raw facial images or videos. Face data is not shared with third party. Only the derived vital signs data (numerical values) are transmitted and stored securely on cloud servers operated by our technology partners for the purposes of maintaining your health records and providing the Service.
Voice Data
It refers to the physical, physiological, or behavioral data related to your voice, including voice recordings and derived data such as voiceprints, acoustic models, or templates used for unique identification (biometric verification) or analysis of speech patterns.
When vital signs scanning service is used, your device will capture, but does not store or transfer to our servers, videos through supported mobile device cameras for the purpose of extracting and analyzing facial blood flow for deriving physiological measurements.
This includes your device ID, device type, geo-location information, computer and connection information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the sites, ad data, IP address and standard web log information.
This includes information you provide to us through customer surveys, directly through our website or indirectly through your use of our services or online presence or through other websites or accounts from which you permit us to collect information.
We may de-identify your general personal information and use it in aggregate form to conduct analysis on how our services are being used to help us improve our service operation and user experience. "De-identified" information means information that has undergone a process of removing all personal identifiers that can reasonably identify you so that there is no reasonable likelihood of re-identification occurring. When we use this information for the purposes of business improvement, it is always in de-identified form.
We may de-identify your health information and use it to conduct research, provide and improve our services.

verified_user Your legal rights
You have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Data.
(commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we maintain about you.
You have the right to be informed how your Personal Data will be used. This privacy policy as well as any additional information or notice that is provided to you either at the time you provided your details, or otherwise, is intended to provide you with this information.
This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- if you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
- where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
- where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
- you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
