myBeepr commitment to privacy and security
JRB Technologies Pty Ltd (myBeepr, we, us or our) are committed to always protecting the privacy of personal information. This is one of the foundational pillars of our company philosophy and embedded in our DNA on how we operate and build our technology.
We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles, “Privacy Act”, and have set out in this Privacy Policy how we collect, hold, use, and disclose your personal information, usage data and messaging data when you use the myBeepr messaging application (the Service) or our website (the site).
This Privacy Policy also explains how you can manage your information preferences.
"Personal Information” is information or an opinion, regardless of its accuracy, (in a recorded form or otherwise) about an identified, or reasonably identifiable, individual. This includes an individual's name, date of birth and contact details. It may also include “sensitive information” such as health and medical issues about patients. If we collect sensitive information about you, or another person such as a patient, we do so in accordance with the Privacy Act. In this Privacy Policy, a reference to Personal information includes sensitive information.
1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND WHY?
Personal Information
When you register with myBeepr, we collect information that personally identifies you, such as your name, address, mobile telephone number, email addresses and other information that you provide to us or that you include in any myBeepr profile or account.
The decision to provide this information is of course voluntary. However, if you choose not to provide this type of information, you may not be able to use certain features.
If you provide your third-party account credentials to us via a single-sign-on integration or otherwise sign in to the Services through a third-party site or service, you understand some content and/or information in those accounts (“Third Party Account Information”) may be transmitted into your account with us if you authorise such transmissions, and that Third Party Account Information transmitted to our Services is covered by this Privacy Policy.
Usage Data
We automatically collect usage information that informs us on how users’ access and use the Services (“Usage Data”). For example, when you download and use Services such as myBeepr secure messaging, we automatically collect information on meta data regarding messages sent and or received.
We do not automatically collect information on the type of device you use and the device identifier (or “UDID”) unless you provide us with this type of information.
In addition, each time you use our Services, like most internet service providers, we automatically collect information regarding the type of web browser you use, your operating system, your Internet Service Provider, your IP address, the pages you view on our Site, the time and duration of your visits to the Site, crash logs and other information relating to your use of the Services.
We use this information to analyse trends, administer the Services, troubleshoot any user problems, and to enhance and update the Services.

We collect the information in your myBeepr messages “Message Data” for analytics purposes. All messages are end-to-end encrypted and therefore no unauthorised person including myBeepr can see it.
All messages are automatically deleted from your device 30 days after being sent.
After its destruction from your device, Message Data is permanently deleted and cannot be retrieved by myBeepr except for archived data with respect to those clients who have paid separately for us to archive such Message Data (for example your hospital organisation). In this instance, only the hospital administrator has access to the archives.
Why do we collect this information?
We use the information we collect for internal purposes only. myBeepr may use Personal information to contact you in regarding the provision of our service.
We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for these reasons:
-
to provide customer support including troubleshooting;

2. HOW DO WE SAFEGUARD YOUR INFORMATION
myBeepr is committed to protecting the security of personal information. We employ security measures designed to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
What we will do to ensure privacy integrity
Our privacy philosophy is based on our commitment to giving you transparency over the collection, use, and distribution of data.
-
We never use your myBeepr data for displaying advertising;
-
We take a profound and expert led approach to ensure your data and all Personal information is secure;
-
We take strong measures to ensure access to your data and all personal information is restricted and used only in accordance with this Privacy Policy;
-
You can access your own personal information at any time and for any reason, if it has not already been deleted in accordance with our destruction policy described above.
How we protect your identity and account information
-
At myBeepr we use identity verification and authentication functionality to verify your myBeepr account. This functionality is also used for the organisational single sign on and in order to protect access.
How we ensure that messages are secure
-
myBeepr is true end-to-end encrypted and utilises the industry standard asymmetric encryption Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) as well as symmetric encryption AES-256 to encrypt data.
-
Messages sent through myBeepr are encrypted at rest and in transit, i.e. when sent and decrypted when received by the receiver (end-to-end encryption). What this means is that no third party, including myBeepr itself, can ever decrypt or read the messages. If the organisation you are using myBeepr for has agreed to archive data only their administrator has access to the encryption key to access archived data.
-
Messages are automatically deleted from your device after 30 days, ensuring that there are no large troves of patient data that can be hacked or otherwise accessed without authorisation.
How we further safeguard against cyber security threats
-
myBeepr takes security very seriously. Therefore, we have engaged an A-grade provider of cloud hosting, infrastructure and support services. This service allows myBeepr to provide 24/7 support, 99.98% production platform uptime, proactive infrastructure monitoring and tuning for maximum application performance and technology in line with the top ten Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) standards. We are also using Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) as it is best practice industry standard.
