Diabetes Management
The Contour App and Contour Cloud services are designed to help you manage your diabetes by automatically
syncing and logging your blood glucose results so you can understand how your activities impact upon them. The
Contour App and Contour Cloud account require W
i-Fi and/or data connectivity for syncing and retrieving your blood
glucose (BG) results via your smartphone. The Contour App and Contour Cloud services simplify the management of
your diabetes but the services are not a substitute for medical advice. Ascensia recommends that you seek regular
advice from your health care provider regarding your diabetes. Ascensia does not provide medical advice to users. We
recommend that you contact your health care provider or your local emergency services if you suspect you may have
a medical emergency. The members of our customer support team are not authorised to provide medical advice
relating to the substance, meaning, or possible consequences of any BG results uploaded to the Contour App or
Contour Cloud account.
Personal Data Submission and Collection
Ascensia will process your personal data when you submit it in the following ways:
• Contour Cloud Account Registration and Pr
ofile Details: When you create a Contour Cloud account, the
following information will be stored: your name, gender, email address, date of birth, country, authentication
details and other registration information, including your chosen password for a Contour Cloud account. Where a
user is under the legal age of majority, we will request and collect the email address of a parent/guardian for
verification purposes. The Contour App can be used to capture information about your diabetes management,
condition of health and your Contour Connected Meter. This may include your diabetes type, medications, insulin,
food consumption and exercise regime, your hospital address and hospital attendance dates, health care
practitioner reports, blood glucose readings, A1c data, and meter model number, serial number and settings.
• Access to Mobile Device System Services: Depending on your mobile device operating system, the Contour App
may automatically access, or you may be asked to allow access to, certain system services on your device, such as
camera, photos and contact list. Access to these system services allows the Contour App to function properly, and
does not result in Ascensia having access to, collecting or storing any information relating to such system services.
You can manage the Contour App’s access to these system services in your mobile device/the Contour App’s
settings.

contacted in case of an emergency. The information about your emergency contact is only stored locally on your

reason relating to customer services, we will keep a record of that contact. You may provide us with personal data

or when you report a problem with the Contour App and similar situations where you choose to give us your
information.
