Data Collection Statement for the NewMind mobile application

Introduction:

The NewMind mobile application (‘the app’) is managed by Utility Creative on behalf of Newcrest Mining.

This statement details how Utility Creative (‘we’) collect, store, and use personal information within the app.

We value your privacy, ensuring your data is managed transparently and in compliance with Australian data privacy and protection laws.

Data we collect:

While using the app, we gather limited personal data including:

  1. Your first name and initial to offer a tailored user experience.
  2. Your feedback from mental wellbeing check-ins.

Purpose of data collection:

The personal data assists in:

  1. Personalising your experience within the app.
  2. Offering insights on your mental wellbeing over a period.
  3. Evaluating the efficiency of our wellbeing tools in stress reduction.

Data storage:

All collected personal data is securely kept within application-specific storage on your device. Importantly, your personal data remains on your device and is never transmitted or stored elsewhere.

Your personal data is encrypted, and the unique encryption key for this data is safely stored using the mobile operating system's biometric functionality. This ensures maximum data security, preventing unauthorised access unless you unlock it using your personal biometric data.

Data usage:

We use your personal data to produce visual insights, such as graphs, to track and offer reflections on your mental wellbeing based on what you have provided to us through the app.

Analytics:

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand the app's usage patterns and improve the service we provide to you. While usage patterns are transmitted, this does not include any personal data you provide.

Data sharing:

We won't share, sell or lease your personal data to third parties.

Your personal data will not be used for any purpose other than those described here unless we have your explicit consent.

Your rights:

Under Australian data privacy laws, you have the right to:

  1. Access any personal information we hold about you.
  2. Correct inaccuracies in that data.
  3. Withdraw your consent at any time, noting that this might affect the usability of certain app features.

Our data collection practices might evolve over time. Any significant modifications will be communicated to you, whether through in-app notifications or other suitable methods.
