Privacy Policy
These terms and conditions are effective as of 2021-07-26
The University of Zürich, WHO Collaborating Centre for Travellers’ Health built the ITIT-Travel Health app as a free app. This project is funded by a grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (320030_192653, awarded to Prof. Patricia Schlagenhauf). This SERVICE is provided by the University of Zürich, WHO Collaborating Centre for Travellers’ Health at no cost and is intended for use as is.
This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information if anyone decides to use our service.
If you choose to use our service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The personal information that we collect is used for providing and improving our service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this privacy policy.
The terms used in this privacy policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which is accessible at the ITIT-Travel Health website and app unless otherwise defined in this privacy policy.
Information Collection and Use
For a better experience, while using our service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to, survey responses, login details: anonymous device/cloud pairing, internet protocol (IP) address, generated installation ID (app), geographical location, age, telephone number, gender, email address, medical information, type of travel, duration of travel, destination, and smoking status.
Data recording and source data
The data will be stored on the ITIT platform hosted by Google in Zürich. The server is automatically backed up daily and complies with state-of-the-art data requirements. At the conclusion of data collection, the final anonymised dataset will be exported in CSV format and stored together with the relevant metadata for the purposes of analysis on local University of Zurich servers. Upon data entry by the study participant, data will be stored in the internal storage space of the smartphone application. Thereby no other app can access the data. Data will be sent periodically via a SSL-secured http request to the ITIT Platform. A background process of the smartphone application is activated automatically when a Wi-Fi or 3G-connection is detected and transmits the data automatically. It does not require the intervention of the user. For the collection of passive data, public application program interfaces (APIs) will allow programmatic queries based on parameters such as longitude, latitude and time. A web front end will allow exportation of the collated data for further analysis. Data from the daily surveys and the location data will be stored in the mobile’s database and transmitted to the server on an hourly schedule.
Confidentiality and coding
Project data will be handled with uttermost discretion and is only accessible to authorized study personnel who require the data to fulfil their duties within the scope of the research project. On project specific documents, participants are only identified by a unique participant number.
Each respondent will give explicit consent through a digital consent form, as outlined above. An ethical authorisation was obtained from the Swiss Ethics Committee ((BASEC 2020-02292) for this project. All aggregated data are anonymized, and in line with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection as described by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). To ensure that anonymity is maintained, the exact GPS itineraries of individual travellers will not be shared; instead, environmental exposures will be given in aggregate form. Data security will be ensured at every point of the collection and the transfer. The app will be designed according to GDPR, so that the user remains in control of the data at any given time. Data protection and privacy is key to this project. It is required by legislation, and it is mandatory to build and maintain trust with the travellers. Data protection means allowing access to data only to parties that have received explicit informed consent by the data owners. In addition to that, data security implies management of the data based on security aspects, regular verification that security is continually assured, and protection against data loss.
Main safety and security features:
• The ITIT platform is hosted in Zürich, Switzerland on the Google server then copied to the server at the University of Zürich.
• Yearly external security audits.
• Data are encrypted using multi-level encryption, allowing granular sharing of specific data sets.
• Data traffic from and to server via HTTPS. Connection and all safety tokens using perfect-forward secrecy.
The data detailing the exact GPS itinerary of each traveller will not be shared, as the potential for identification of individual travellers is too high; instead, aggregate data on environmental exposures will be shared for each traveller.
Retention and destruction of study data
The health-related data are stored for 10 years after the publication of the study and will be archived on the server at the University of Zürich. We will preserve the data for 10 years on University servers and also deposit it in an appropriate data archive at the end of the project .
