Die Art der von uns erfassten personenbezogenen Daten

Wir sammeln und verarbeiten derzeit die folgenden Informationen:

  • Nutzerdaten wie persönliche Identifikatoren (Ihr Vor- und Nachname, der von Ihnen gewählte Benutzername und Ihre E-Mail-Adresse; nur falls Sie diese Angaben gemacht haben: Ihr Geschlecht, Ihr Geburtsjahr und Ihr Profilbild), die von Ihnen verwendete Produktversion, die Institution, bei der Sie arbeiten, und Ihre Rolle (nur falls Sie diese Angaben gemacht haben: Die Anzahl der Jahre in dieser Rolle). Wenn Sie die ePortfolio Funktion nutzen, verarbeiten wir auch Informationen über Ihren beruflichen Lebenslauf (Kurse, Webinare und Kongresse, an denen Sie teilgenommen haben, einschließlich der erworbenen Credits, und, wenn Sie dies angeben, auch Ihre früheren Ausbildungseinrichtungen und Ihre Rolle dort).
  • Nutzungsdaten, z. B. wie oft und zu welchen Zeiten Sie unsere Produkte nutzen, welche Funktionen Sie nutzen oder noch nicht nutzen.
  • Informationen zur Beurteilung: Alle Daten, die im Laufe der Beurteilung gesammelt werden, wie z. B. die Aufgaben, welche eine Auszubildende oder ein Auszubildender durchgeführt hat, ihre Komplexität und das Level an Supervision, das die/der Auszubildende zur Durchführung der Aufgabe benötigte, wie auch Lernziele und die zugehörigen Mediendateien (Text, Audio, Video, Bilder, pdf-Dateien). 

 

Wie wir persönliche Daten erhalten und weshalb wir sie benötigen

Die allermeisten personenbezogenen Daten, die wir verarbeiten, werden uns von den Nutzerinnen und Nutzern zur Verfügung gestellt, während sie die App verwenden:

  • Die Benutzerinformationen werden von Nutzerinnen und Nutzern bei der Registrierung erfasst und sind erforderlich, um die Benutzer und ihre Rollen zu identifizieren, damit sichergestellt werden kann, dass nur Ausbildnerinnen und Ausbildner, die in ihren Organisationen entsprechende Rollen innehaben, Auszubildende beurteilen können.
  • Wir zeichnen Ihre Nutzungsdaten (d. h. wie oft Sie die App oder unsere Website nutzen, zu welchen Zeiten und welche Funktionen Sie nutzen oder noch nicht nutzen) automatisch auf, während Sie unsere Produkte nutzen. Diese Informationen werden für statistische Zwecke benötigt, um zu verstehen, wie Sie unsere Produkte nutzen, mit dem Ziel, das Nutzererlebnis und unsere Produkte zu verbessern und um zielgerichtet mit Ihnen kommunizieren zu können.
  • Wir erfassen die Beurteilungsdaten während der arbeitsplatzbezogenen Beurteilungen sowohl von den Auszubildenden als auch von den Ausbildnerinnen und Ausbildnern . Die Beurteilungsdaten werden in einem individuellen Kompetenzprofil für die Auszubildenden zusammengefasst. Damit wollen wir das berufsbezogene Lernen der Auszubildenden unterstützen (individualisierte und effektivere Ausbildung sowie eine kompetenzgerechte Einsatzplanung wird ermöglicht). Die Auszubildenden können sich dafür entscheiden, ihre Kompetenzprofile mit Ausbildnerinnen und Ausbildnern oder mit ihrer Institution zu teilen.

Zudem erhalten wir von Institutionen, die unsere Produkte nutzen, Informationen wie Name und E-Mail-Adresse, damit Ausbildnerinnen und Ausbildner für die entsprechende Institutionen ordnungsgemäss verknüpft werden können oder damit der Zugang zum Cockpit/Admin-Portal für Administratoren, Mitglieder des Kompetenzkomitees oder die für die Ausbildung verantwortliche Person freigegeben werden kann.

The type of personal information we collect

We currently collect and process the following information:

  • User information such as personal identifiers (your first and last name, your chosen username and your email address; only if you choose so, your sex, your year of birth, and your profile picture), the product version you use, the institution you work at and your role (only if you choose so, also the number of years in this role). If you use our ePortfolio, we also process information about your professional curriculum (courses, webinars and congresses you attended including credits gained and if you choose so also your former training institutions and your role there).
  • Usage information such as how often you use our products, at what times, which functions you use and don’t use
  • Assessment information: All data points gathered in the course of the assessment such as the tasks a trainee performed, its complexity and the level of supervision the trainee needed to perform the task. We may also process feedback provided by a supervisor and related media files (text, audio, video, images) as well as a trainee`s learning goals.

 

How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most personal information we process is provided to us by users whilst they use the app:

  • User information is collected from users during registration, and it is needed to identify the users and their roles in order to ensure that only supervisors who have respective roles in their organizations are able to assess trainees.
  • We record your usage information (i.e., how often you use the app or our website, at what times, which functions you use and don’t use ) automatically whilst you use our products. Such information is required for statistical purposes to understand how you use our products with the aim to improve the user experience and our products and to be able to communicate with you in a targeted way.
  • We record assessment information during workplace-based assessments from both trainees and supervisors. The assessment data points are aggregated in an individual competency profile for the trainees. With this we aim to support the trainees’ professional learning trajectory (individualized and more effective training as well as competency-based deployment planning is made possible). Trainees may elect to share their competency profiles with a supervisor or with their institution/organization for a limited time.

Moreover we may receive information such as name and email address from administrators of institutions/organizations using our products so that supervisor accounts can be properly linked to institutions/organizations and to trainees or so that access to the Cockpit / Admin Portal can be grated to admin persons, members of the competency committee or the person responsible for education.

Please check our website www.prepared.app for the current prices for the Upgrade License. We reserve the right to alter the prices for Upgrade License at any time and without notifying you (for technical and organizational reasons, this is unfortunately not viable), but you only will be charged the altered prices upon renewal of the Upgrade License, i.e., for a next Upgrade License Period. To avoid any negative surprises, please make sure to check the price for the Upgrade License on our website before a new Upgrade License Period starts.

You can explore the current capabilities of the preparedEPA-advanced version and the preparedEPA-pro version on our website www.prepared.app. We strive to continuously improve all preparedEPA versions, including the basic version. By upgrading to preparedEPA-advanced or preparedEPA-pro and effecting the respective download, you confirm that you have familiarized yourself with the actual capabilities and features of the upgrade version and agree to pay the price for the Upgrade License Period.

Users who unsubscribe from the Upgrade License can continue to use the preparedEPA-basic version. By downgrading to the preparedEPA-basic version all data which is related to the upgrade version will no longer be available. However, we keep the respective data in line with the paragraph “Cancellation” below.

 

PAYMENT

When upgrading to an upgrade version you will be charged the respective subscription price (the “Upgrade License Fee”); the Upgrade License Fee is an in-app purchase and accordingly, the Upgrade License Fee is debited from the credit card which is linked to your app store account. By downloading an upgrade version, you agree to this billing method and allow us to debit your credit card. All payments shall be in Swiss Francs (CHF). It is your responsibility to make sure that your credit card details and instructions are current and that a sufficient limit is available for us to charge the Upgrade License Fee. Should we not be able to successfully charge the Upgrade License Fee when a renewal of the Upgrade License is due, we reserve the right to set you back to the preparedEPA-basic version without any prior notice. We will charge your account when you download the upgrade version for the first time, and on the first day of the new Upgrade License Period in case the Upgrade License is renewed for another Upgrade License Period.

 

30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEES

If you purchase an Upgrade License for a preparedEPA-advanced or a preparedEPA-pro version and are unsatisfied, you’re entitled to a full refund within 30 days of the download of the preparedEPA-advanced or a preparedEPA-pro version. Upon cancellation of your preparedEPA-advanced or preparedEPA-pro version, your account with us will remain life, but you will be reverted to the basic version. Any information or consent provided for under the preparedEPA-advanced or a preparedEPA-pro version (e.g., regarding Cookies set) will remain valid also for your basic version. In case of a cancellation within 30 days of the download of the preparedEPA-advanced or a preparedEPA-pro version, the fees we charged will be refunded in full (but excluding any taxes added on top and already paid by us, unless we can claim back taxes already paid).

USER-GENERATED LEARNING GOALS

The APP or Site provides you with an option to document learning goals and allows you to save various media files (text, voice recording, video) for this purpose. The learning goals provide you with an easy to access repository of things you like to improve and/or to remember in the future. You acknowledge and agree and herewith confirm that you are aware that it is strictly prohibited to save any personal data (e.g. the names, voice or images) and particularly sensitive personal data (as defined in applicable data protection laws) like medical history or information related to any of your patients or people you have a duty to care in your learning goals, even in case the respective persons (e.g. your patient) have agreed to the use of their personal data for the purpose of your learning goals. Excluded from this prohibition is personal data (e.g., voice recordings or video images) of your supervisors or colleagues, provided they have expressly agreed to the use of their personal data for the purpose of the learning goals.

The learning goals are for your personal use only. However, we may access learning goals for research purposes, but if we do so, we only use learning goals in an anonymized way such as no one can derive from the learning goals to you or any other person.

You herewith represent and warrant that

  1. you (either in your role as trainee or supervisor) are the creator of your learning goals.
  2. your learning goals do not contain any personal data (e.g., the names, voice or images) and particularly no sensitive personal data (as defined in applicable data protection laws) like medical history or information related to any of your patients or people you have a duty to care.
  3. the creation of your learning goals does not and will not infringe privacy and personal rights or the proprietary rights, including but not limited, copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights of any third party, or publicity rights of any third party.
  4. you have the necessary consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual supervisor or colleague reflected in your personal goals to use its name and any other personal information in your learning goals; and
  5. your learning goals do not violate any applicable law, regulation, rule or best practice or any provision of these Terms of Use.

Any use of the APP or Site in violation of the foregoing violates these Terms of Use and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the APP or Site.

We have no obligation to monitor your learning goals. In addition, you agree to fully indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any claim or loss related to any misuse of the learning goals or an infringement of the above representations and warranties on your side, irrespective of if such misuse or infringement occurred consciously, unconsciously or negligently.

General Terms and Conditions (GTCs)

Last updated 1 October 2021

 

These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") govern the basis of the business relationship between the customer (“Customer”) and precisionED AG, Hauptstrasse 21, CH-8832 Wollerau, Switzerland ("precisionED") with regard to the use of the preparedEPA Assessment System ("preparedEPA") by the Customer and its Users, unless otherwise agreed in writing. "Users" are the individuals who use preparedEPA for pre- and postgraduate training.

The GTC at hand are a translation into English from the German original GTC. In case of any discrepancy between the English translation and the German original, the German original shall prevail.

 

  1. Contract for use of preparedEPA

precisionED sends the Customer an offer for the use of preparedEPA by email. The offer is considered accepted as soon as the Customer confirms the acceptance of the offer online by clicking the "accept" button. The Customer ensures and confirms that only persons authorized to act on its behalf will click the "accept" button.

With acceptance of the offer a contract regarding the use of preparedEPA is deemed concluded: precisionED grants the Customer the right to use preparedEPA in the version and for the agreed period of use specified in the offer. In return, the Customer agrees to pay precisionED the usage fees according to the offer.

The Customer undertakes and agrees to use preparedEPA exclusively within the terms of the GTCs and the "Terms of Use" published on www.prepared.app. The Customer confirms to have read the "Terms of Use" and to accept its content. The "Terms of Use" define the scope of the User's authorization to use preparedEPA. Customers must ensure that Users use preparedEPA exclusively within the scope of the "Terms of Use".

Granting of rights of use to preparedEPA and all copyrights, trademarks, patents and other (property-) rights in relation to preparedEPA are the exclusive property of precisionED. Customers are not allowed to grant sub-use rights or licenses.

 

  1. Period of Use and Termination

The period of use begins on the date specified in the offer and runs for the following 12 full calendar months ("Period of Use"). If neither party terminates the contract as per the end of the respective Period of Use, the contract shall automatically extend for a further 12-month period.

Both Customers and precisionED may terminate the contract in writing with a notice period of 3 months by the end of the Period of Use.

If essential obligations outlined in the GTC or the "Terms of Use" are violated or if the scope of services is changed according to section 3, either party can terminate the contract prematurely in writing with a notice period of 3 months by the end of a calendar month. precisionED reserves the right to immediately restrict or discontinue the Customer's right to use in case of essential violations of obligations.

 

  1. Scope of Service

The current scope of services of preparedEPA is described on the website www.prepared.app. Customers confirm that they are aware of the current scope of services. precisionED reserves the right to change the scope of services at any time and without prior notice. Changes in the scope of services are intended for the continuous improvement of preparedEPA. Should a change in service represent a deterioration from the Customer's point of view, Customer can terminate the contract prematurely according to section 2 paragraph 3.

precisionED provides Users from time to time with temporary new features for testing purposes. These features will later be used in paid versions of preparedEPA. Such feature changes will be marked as temporary. Customers have no right of termination when such features are disabled.

 

  1. No Guarantee for Uninterrupted Use

Customers acknowledge and agree that preparedEPA is a software application that can be accessed on the most common internet browsers. Accordingly, precisionED cannot guarantee that preparedEPA will be available at any time and during the entire Period of Use without restrictions or interruptions. precisionED only commits to provide preparedEPA on a "best effort" basis. The same applies with regard to the app version of preparedEPA.

 

  1. Fees

The usage fees according to the offer are to be paid annually in advance.

precisionED reserves the right to adjust the usage fees unilaterally by means of appropriate notification to the Customers. A fee increase is only binding for a new Period of Use.

Customers who do not agree with a fee increase are free to file an objection in writing with precisionED within 30 days of the notification of the fee increase, whereby the contractual relationship ends at the end of the current Period of Use. Otherwise, the fee increase is considered accepted.

 

  1. Disclaimer of Warranty

precisionED does not guarantee that the use of preparedEPA by Customers or their Users complies with applicable law (especially labor law) or any standard regulations. Clarifications in this regard and the adaptation of employment contracts, work processes, internal regulations, rules, documentation etc. are exclusively the responsibility of Customers.

precisionED does not guarantee that preparedEPA will effectively bring the intended benefits to Customers and Users (no guarantee of success).

In particular, precisionED does not guarantee and does not give any warranty or assurance that the professional competences displayed in a User's profile are accurate or represent the real level of competence of a User. precisionED only provides an assessment system. PrecisionED has no control over the correct use of the system. The assessment of User`s competences, the monitoring and accurate deployment of Users is in the sole responsibility of the Customer or the responsible employer (e.g., a hospital or clinic). Each employer is solely responsible for ensuring that its personnel are appropriately supervised and deployed according to their competences and experience.

 

  1. Exclusion of Liability

precisionED assumes - as far as legally permissible - no liability for any direct or indirect damages or other disadvantages of Customers, Users or third parties caused directly or indirectly by the use of preparedEPA by Customers or their Users.

 

  1. Access to User Profiles; Data Protection

preparedEPA is deliberately programmed from the User's point of view. Only Users have access to their own data and especially to their personal competence profile. Users decide with whom and for how long they share their personal competence profile. The Customers take note of this and agree to it.

If Users shall be obliged to disclose their data (in particular their personal competence profile), it is solely the responsibility of Customers to carry out the corresponding legal clarifications and adaptations of contracts etc. With the exception of aggregated or pseudonymized data for research or statistical purposes, precisionED will not provide Customers access to User data.
