We ensure such processing is carried out lawfully and properly in relation to your use of the Nobi light, the Nobi platform and the associated services.
With respect to the processing of personal data of the Nobi users within a Care Facility, we act as a data processor .

We process your personal data in the context of the purchase, installation and use of the Nobi light, the Nobi platform and the associated services of Nobi. Personal data includes all information related to you and on the basis of which you can be identified or are identifiable as a natural person. Individual data sets, that, when combined together, can lead to your identification are also considered to be personal data.
Below you can find a comprehensive overview for each category of data subjects (end user, other user or the Care Facility) of the data we process to be able to provide the services.
(i) The end user of the Nobi light (such as the care-dependent person, resident or otherwise):
(ii) Other users of the Nobi platform such as the trusted contact, caregiver or healthcare provider:
(iii) (Representatives of) the Care Facility:
Nobi processes your data in the context of your use of the Nobi light, the Nobi platform or the Nobi services for the following purposes:
The care of the Nobi user by means of fall prevention and detection is the primary purpose of processing your personal data . More information can be found at https://www.nobi.life/.
To be able to process your personal data, we must rely on a valid legal basis under the data protection legislation. This legal basis depends on the specific relationship we have with you and the purposes of the data processing, as outlined in this privacy policy.
If you enter into a contract directly with Nobi, for example, as a Nobi end user, the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is typically the preparation or performance of that contract.
If you do not have a direct contractual relationship with Nobi, e.g. when you are a family member, trusted contact, or caregiver of a Nobi end user, then Nobi relies on its legitimate interests as a legal basis for processing your personal data.
These interests relate to the activities that are necessary for the functioning, organisation, governance and development of the Nobi services in line with the needs of end users and Care Facilities. This includes ensuring that the Nobi system functions as intended, as well as further development of the technology, such as training the AI system(s) embedded in the Nobi light to recognize falls accurately through pattern recognition.
Nobi can also process data for generating aggregated statistics and conducting market analysis, to optimize the Nobi light and platform and the Nobi services, evaluating and improving internal workflows and business processes, collaborating with Care Facilities, facilitating day-to-day operations, engaging in direct marketing where permitted by law, preventing misuse, fraud or other unlawful activities, managing risks and ensuring business continuity, protecting our infrastructure, employees, users and stakeholders, safeguarding network and information security, providing employee training and supervision, monitoring and enforcing internal policies and procedures and managing or defending legal claims where Nobi is involved.
In such cases Nobi carefully assesses whether the processing is necessary and proportionate, and conducts a balancing test to ensure that its legitimate interests do not override the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects involved. Where appropriate, additional measures (such as pseudonymization) are implemented to further minimize the impact on your privacy. You may contact us on privacy@nobi.life if you would like more information on this.
In certain situations, we will only process your personal data based on your informed and explicit consent.
This is the case when we process health data, visuals or other sensitive data. We will ask for your explicit consent to allow the Nobi light to capture visual data to detect a fall (which means using its integrated AI technology, followed by a verification by a Nobi expert). We will also ask for your consent to display the captured visual, either as a full image, as a stick figure or not at all, depending on your preferences, on the Nobi platform for the designated caregiver to take action. The decision to share a visual with the caregiver or the trusted individual rests entirely with you.
Your consent will be obtained either directly through Nobi or, where applicable, via the Care Facility using a consent form that explains the purposes and scope of the processing in detail. Your consent is free and can be withdrawn at any time.
If Nobi acts solely as a data processor on behalf of a Care Facility, that Care Facility is responsible for determining the legal basis for the processing of your personal data and, where required, for obtaining your consent, unless it can rely on an alternative legal basis under applicable data protection legislation.
We also process your identification data based on consent for direct marketing to prospects (not being customers).
In certain cases, Nobi processes your personal data to comply with legal obligations . This may include retaining or disclosing data when required by law, or responding to lawful requests from supervisory authorities.
Nobi can receive your data directly from you, e.g. when you purchase or install the Nobi light and/or through your registration on the Nobi platform, when you contact Nobi (by telephone, in writing or via the Nobi platform) or when you provide it to us as a Care Facility (for example through the Nobi platform).
Other data relating to you are automatically generated and processed through the Nobi light and Nobi services during use, such as information indicating whether you are in or out of bed, in or out of the room, or whether a fall has occurred. The specific data collected depend on the functionalities of the Nobi light that you have activated and are collected only when the Nobi light detects a relevant event, processing your data, or that of another person, in that context for the purposes described above. Certain data are only processed in the event of a fall or where the Live view feature is enabled, and only to the extent that you, as a Nobi (end) user, have accepted or configured such processing through the privacy settings in the Nobi platform.
Nobi can also receive certain data indirectly, e.g. from your trusted contact or representative, or your caregiver, healthcare provider or Care Facility that enters your data on the Nobi platform (only for the purposes described above).
Your personal data are shared internally within Nobi, solely with our employees who require such access for the performance of their tasks. Nobi applies a strict access control policy, ensuring that only those who need your data, for example, to provide support, ensure technical follow-up, or comply with legal obligations, are granted access. This internal access is based on the 'need-to-know' principle and is regularly reviewed and monitored. These employees are obliged to maintain strict confidentiality with regard to your personal data.
Some of your data may also be processed by our partners, service providers, subcontractors or suppliers in connection with the use of the Nobi light, the Nobi platform and our services. This includes, for example, our hosting provider, technical support suppliers, communication provider (to send the notification by message/SMS, to notify the fall by telephone or to contact the emergency services directly), our Nobi expert partners (who verify the fall detected by the light before the notification is sent to the Nobi platform (human-in-the-loop)), our software suppliers, companies that provide payment services or other services to Nobi.
If you are an end user of the Nobi light residing at home, your data can be shared with your designated family member, trusted contact or representative. Such person will also have the ability to manage your data via the Nobi platform. If you are an end user residing in a Care Facility, your data will also be shared with the Care Facility and with your designated caregiver or employee. They will have access to your profile on the Nobi platform including the personal data referred to in article 4.2 (i) above.
Other companies may also process your data as part of our operational business, such as, for example, our accountants, auditors, company auditors, insurance brokers, insurers, legal advisors, attorneys or other service providers to the extent necessary in the context of their assignment(s) or assistance.
We may be required, by law or in response to a request or order by a supervisory authority, court or government agency, to provide your personal data to them or to a third party.
Partners, service providers or suppliers of Nobi only receive your personal data if necessary for delivering their services to Nobi in connection with the Nobi light and/or the Nobi platform. Nobi enters into a data processing agreement with its (sub)processors to ensure that personal data is processed securely and in compliance with applicable data protection legislation. These data processing agreements enable Nobi to provide the assurance to the Care Facility that the selected (sub)processors comply with the applicable data protection legislation and required standards (such data processing agreements include a list of Nobi's (sub)processors).
Where the end user is located within the EEA/EU, Nobi always strives to process your personal data within the EEA/EU. The processing activities of Nobi's services related to fall prevention and detection, including those performed by the Nobi light and the Nobi platform, are hosted on servers located within the EEA/EU.
If Nobi contracts with service providers located outside the EEA/EU, it ensures that the data is hosted on servers within the EEA/EU. Additionally Nobi implements the following appropriate safeguards:
When your personal data is transferred outside the EEA/EU, Nobi implements additional appropriate technical and organizational measures such as pseudonymisation or anonymisation of your data. The type of measures taken depends on what is technically feasible and sufficiently effective.
If the Care Facility is located in the United States, all data relating to that Care Facility and its (end) users will be stored exclusively on servers located within the United States.
If you require further information you may contact us on privacy@nobi.life.
Nobi collects and processes personal data only for the purposes described in article 5 above. Nobi shall not process or retain your data any longer than necessary for such purposes, unless stipulated otherwise by applicable legislation. Specific retention periods may apply to certain data, but the general principle applies that we do not retain your data longer than necessary for the purposes.
Your data as a Nobi user will generally not be processed any longer than the duration of your use of the Nobi light, Nobi platform and services or the duration of the agreement with Nobi. We may retain certain data up to 10 years after the end of the contract to the extent necessary to defend our rights or interests in the context of a dispute.
The visuals captured by the Nobi light are locally stored in the Nobi light or on Nobi's systems for a maximum of 30 seconds. Only if a fall is detected by the Nobi light, the visual is sent to Nobi and a human verification of the fall is done by the Nobi expert. If the expert reaffirms the fall, a notification is sent to the Nobi platform, with or without the accompanying image, depending on your chosen privacy settings. The Nobi expert's access to the image is strictly time-limited and automatically revoked after 120 seconds, after which the expert no longer has any access to such data.
If you choose to include the visual (full image or stick figure) with the notification in the event of a fall, it will be visible on the Nobi platform for up to 14 days after the fall. Audio recordings or auditory confirmations of the fall are retained by Nobi until the end user no longer wishes to use the Nobi light and services and the profile is deleted.
If you choose to enable the Live view feature, the Nobi platform will provide a stick figure visual of the resident whenever the resident is in the room and not in the bed. All visuals are converted locally in the Nobi light to stick figure images. In relation to the Live view feature, full images are never transferred to Nobi. Once converted locally in the light, these visuals are sent to the Nobi platform where they will be deleted after 14 days. The Live View feature will never provide visuals on the Nobi platform once the Nobi light detects that the person is in bed. In this case, you will only see the notification "resident in bed". The Live view feature is not available for the Nobita light, as it does not support this functionality.
Nobi shall not retain any images containing personal data for more than 14 days. Where data is retained for purposes such as algorithm training or statistical analysis to assess efficiency improvements in a care facility, such data shall be fully anonymised and rendered permanently non-identifiable.
Personal data processed by Nobi in the context of direct marketing will be kept for a maximum of 2 years after the last contact with the customer or prospect.
After the expiration of any retention periods, your personal data will be deleted, pseudonymized or anonymized, unless applicable legislation requires longer storage.
When processing personal data on behalf of the Care Facility (where Nobi qualifies as a data processor), the Care Facility is responsible for the duration of the data processing as well as the return and/or erasure of personal data, in accordance with the applicable data processing agreements between Nobi and the Care Facility.
You have the right to information about the processing of your data via the Nobi light, Nobi platform and services. This is communicated to you via this privacy policy. If necessary you can request more information from Nobi or from your family members, trusted contacts and/or healthcare providers at any time.
You also have the right to request:
You may obtain one copy of the requested information free of charge. If you request additional copies, we may charge you a reasonable fee for administrative costs.
You have the right to transfer your data (to another controller), in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, if the processing is based on consent and is carried out by automated means.
If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
You have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authorities. For Belgium this is the Data Protection Authority (Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels - T: +32(0)2 274 48 00 - E: contact@apd-gba.be). In the event of a complaint, you can also contact Nobi at any time ( privacy@nobi.life) or your Care Facility.
