The developer of cometrics is mindful of the security and protection of user data and patient data. This Privacy Policy document explains the types of information that are collected and recorded by cometrics and in which situations the developers will have access to generated data.
By using cometrics, you hereby consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms and conditions.
Cometrics automatically collects computer resource usage, file names, and errors encountered into standard log files that are stored on the computer that cometrics is installed on. Only users of that computer with appropriate privileges can view these records.
Cometrics, as part of its functionality, will log and record keystroke information, behavioral data, physiological data, control parameters for external devices, session dates and times, and, possibly, personally identifiable information about a patient that falls under HIPAA restrictions. Cometrics saves this data in the location specified by the user in the creation of their project. This may or may not be a shared computer network or server system that other users have access to. This data can only be accessed by users with permissions to access the data folders on the computer system it is stored on. Cometrics does not send this data to any person or computer system other than the computer system pointed to by the user.
Cometrics does not log or transmit any usage data, user data, or patient data to any server or computer system that is under the control of the developer or visible to any other third party.
Feedback data is sent and stored on https://github.com in our public code repository located at https://github.com/Munroe-Meyer-Institute-VR-Laboratory/cometrics. This data is public and includes the feedback text, feedback type, and feedback title that is provided using the built-in submission user interface in cometrics.
This feedback data is collected and stored publicly on our public code repository to improve the functionality of cometrics and provide semi-anonymized feedback with minimal user friction. This data allows the developer and maintainer of cometrics to isolate, identify, and resolve problems that are affecting the user base.
This data is public and accessible by any individual with an internet capable computing device.
This data is only collected by voluntarily submitting feedback through the built-in feedback function within cometrics.
Submitted feedback can be found and monitored here https://github.com/Munroe-Meyer-Institute-VR-Laboratory/cometrics/issues.
No data is sold, shared, or controlled by third parties.
Data will be deleted if it is determined that the feedback contains personally identifiable information as it relates to patient data, private usernames, or private logins. If a request is made to remove feedback, it will be deleted within a month. Requests can be made to [email protected].
Under the CCPA, among other rights, California consumers have the right to:
Request that a business that collects a consumer's personal data disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers.
Request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected.
Request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell the consumer's personal data.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
