Research Policy

Last updated: August 29, 2025 At Chronity S.L., we take the privacy and protection of our users’ personal data very seriously. This Research Policy explains how we process and share data for research purposes, distinguishing between pseudonymization and anonymization, and what rights users have in this regard.

N.I.F.: B21924386

3. Purpose of research

Data may be used to:

Collaborate with universities, research centers, and public or private entities in projects related to health, chronic diseases, and well-being.
Develop scientific studies to identify patterns in health data and lifestyle habits.
Generate statistics and insights that contribute to innovation in products and services.

4. Types of data used

Chronity may process and share with third parties two types of data:

Anonymized data: processed irreversibly so that it is no longer possible to directly or indirectly identify a user. These data are no longer considered personal data under the GDPR.
Pseudonymized data: data where direct identifiers (such as name, email, or phone number) have been removed and replaced by a code or ID.
Third parties receiving the data will not be able to identify users.
Chronity retains the key linking the code to the real identity but stores it securely and separately.
These data are still considered personal data under the GDPR, and Chronity remains the data controller.

Data may come from the information users record in the app, such as symptoms, well-being logs, and biometric data obtained from wearable devices.

5. Legal basis

The processing of data for research purposes is based on the user’s explicit consent (Art. 9.2.a GDPR).

This consent will be specifically and clearly requested before any sharing with third parties takes place.
Users may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the normal use of the application.

6. Security and confidentiality

Chronity applies technical and organizational measures to protect the data, including:

Strict separation between identifiers and pseudonymized data.
Encryption and access control to prevent unauthorized access.
Contractual agreements with third parties receiving data, prohibiting any attempt at re-identification.

7. Recipients

Data may be shared only with:

Universities and research centers.
Public institutions related to health and well-being.
Companies or entities collaborating in scientific innovation projects.

Data will never be shared for commercial purposes unrelated to research.

8. International transfers

If projects involve sharing data with entities outside the European Economic Area (EEA), Chronity will ensure the signing of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other mechanisms recognized by the GDPR to guarantee an adequate level of protection.

9. User rights

Users may exercise their rights at any time, including:

Access to information about the use of their data for research.
Objection to processing for research purposes.
Withdrawal of consent previously granted.

To exercise these rights, users can write to info@chronity.ai

10. Limitations

In the case of anonymized data, it will not be possible to honor requests for deletion or rectification, as there is no way to link them to a specific user.
