1.2 The purpose of the app is to allow users to learn about medical conditions, record their progress in terms of controlling their health conditions or habits and to set reminders for medication use, while providing protection for each user’s right to privacy. MANDLA WELLNESS (PTY)LTD (K2019577395 SOUTH AFRICA) subscribes to the protective mechanism contained in and legislated for in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996) and various other guidelines.
1.3 The provisions and safeguards in the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (Act No. 4 of 2013) have been used as a benchmark for the protection of the right to privacy.
1.4 Important: please read these Terms and Conditions of use in conjunction with the Data Protection and Privacy Policy for the app. The Privacy Policy also governs and applies to your use of the app and is incorporated herein by this reference.
1.5 As explained in detail in the Privacy Policy – your privacy is protected. The privacy policy takes into account the sensitive and unique nature of healthcare information which demands the highest standard of respect for the privacy and confidentiality of users’ information in a secure and trusted environment. The app is not capable of:
1.5.1 Using your GPS location to track your location;
1.5.2 Being used by law enforcement to identify or track you;
1.5.3 Accessing personal information or data saved on your phone (i.e. your emails, messages, or phone contacts); and
1.5.4 Discovering your name or address.
1.6 The app does record the following information in an encrypted, anonymous and de-identified form:
1.6.1 The date of birth and gender.
1.6.2 What goals have been selected and the data that are recorded for each.
1.6.2 The medication names, descriptions, times of use and compliance rates.
1.7 This anonymized data is kept on your phone and on a centralized server.
2.1 The installation of the app on a mobile phone and the employment thereof is entirely voluntary for users.
2.2 The use of the app and its functions described in these terms and conditions is currently restricted to the territory of the Republic of South Africa.
2.3 By accessing the app, the user declares that he or she has understood and accepted the following terms and conditions as well as those set out in the Privacy Policy. If the user does not agree to these conditions, then the app is not to be used.
Registering requires a date of birth, gender, name, surname and an email address. This can be auto-populated by signing up with a Google account.
Users are prompted to select any “health goals” that the user may be inclined to monitor or manage. Six goals exist: blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, alcohol, HIV and weight. With this, the user can record data surrounding the goals by entering the user’s blood pressure, number of cigarettes smoked, number of units of alcohol drunk, HIV Viral Load, CD4 count, blood glucose and/or the user’s weight kilograms, where applicable.
The app selects notable health content readings pertinent to the user’s goal(s). Other readings are all available, just not brought to the top of the page.
The medications section allows users to add any medications being used. There is no predetermined list, so users will add medications manually with their own choice of medication names, descriptions, quantities, reminders etc. The app then records when users have selected “taken” upon taking their medications. This then is presented as a calendar showing how adherent the user has been. The app will allow for notifications to be set to remind the user to take any medication he/she has recorded.
Notifications only pertain to medications. When a user adds a medication, they specify whether they need to take it in the morning, afternoon or evening. These notification or reminder times can be edited. The app will then notify the user accordingly.
