Wuum prohibits, and disclaims any liability for, any use of the Dear Doc site for the provision of any emergency services or where diagnosis or treatment in-person is required. If you require urgent care or emergency treatment, you should consult a doctor in person or contact your local emergency services immediately.

You may be issued with a medication advice by a Doctor and may also be prompted to use Dear Doc’s delivery services for delivery or fulfilment of prescription medicines. You acknowledge that this medication advice is not an e-prescription and will not be accepted by a pharmacy. You are under no obligation to purchase any advised medication. The Doctor will use his or her best endeavours, based on the health profile you have provided, to advise an appropriate medication for you. Wuum shall not be responsible for ensuring that you receive the medicine you are advised or that the medicine you receive is the same as that advised by the Doctor. Wuum shall also not be responsible for any instructions in relation to the medication provided by a Doctor, a pharmacist or anyone else associated with the provision of medication you have been prescribed.

(a) the information transmitted by you or us may not be sufficient or accurate to allow for appropriate healthcare decision making, thus necessitating a face-to-face consultation with a doctor;

(b) reliance on self-measurement and self-reporting may result in inaccurate evaluation and advice;

(c) a lack of access to all your health records may result in adverse drug interactions, or allergic reactions, or other judgement errors;

Privacy Policy

In conducting our business, Wuum Health Pte Ltd (“Wuum Health”) may collect, use, disclose or otherwise process Personal Data relating to you.

This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms of Use sets out how we comply with our obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore (“PDPA”).

Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your Personal Data, and how we will treat such Personal Data.

In this Data Privacy Policy, “Personal Data” refers to any data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified (a) from that data; or (b) from that data and other information to which we have or are likely to have access, including data in our records as may be updated from time to time.

By visiting our website or using our services, you are accepting and agreeing to our practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you are under 18, please do not send any personal data about yourself to us:

1. COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

We may collect Personal Data (which may include sensitive Personal Data) when you provide it to us. Generally, we collect Personal Data in the following ways:

when you submit any form, including but not limited to consent, pre-consultation form, and order form, as well as inquiry forms or other forms relating to any of our services;

when you enter into any agreement or provide documentation or information in respect of your interactions with us, or when you use our services;

when you interact with our staff, either directly or indirectly through referral intermediaries (for example, doctors, nurses, customer service officers at hospitals, or at any medical institutions), via direct mail, emails, video calls, phone calls, chat messaging, social media messaging, google messaging, and face-to-face meetings;

when you request that we contact you or request that you be included in an email or other mailing list;

when we seek information about you and receive your Personal Data in connection with us, including our services, for example, from business partners, public agencies, referral intermediaries and the relevant authorities; and/or

when you have chosen to provide or submit your Personal Data to us.

Examples of such Personal Data you may provide to us include (depending on the nature of your interaction with us) your name and identification information (such as your nationality, gender, date of birth, NRIC, passport or other identification), contact information (such as your address, email address, or contact number), health and related information, medical and clinical history, photographs and other audio-visual information, and any other information which you have provided us (including financial information such as credit card numbers, debit card numbers or bank account information), in any forms you may have submitted to us, or via other forms of interaction with you.

If you provide us with any Personal Data relating to a third party (e.g. information of your spouse, children and/or parents), by submitting such information to us, you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of the third party to provide us with their Personal Data for the respective purposes.

We may also use various technologies on our website and mobile application, which may lead to information being automatically collected and stored by us, including device-specific and other technical information about your mobile or computer device such as the hardware model, operating system version, network access state, date/time format, system theme, browser type and version, Internet Protocol (IP) address, advertising identifier, unique application identifiers, unique device identifiers, browser type, language, wireless network, and mobile network information. This information does not generally, but may, contain your Personal Data, and us, and our data.

2. INFORMATION COLLECTED VIA THE MOBILE APPLICATION

Depending on your device, our App may request certain permissions that allow it to access your device data. By default, you must grant these permissions before the respective information can be accessed. Once the permission has been given, you can revoke it at any time and it is your responsibility to monitor/adjust them in accordance with your preferences. In order to revoke these permissions, you may refer to the device settings. The exact procedure for controlling app permissions may be dependent on your device and software. Please note that the revoking of such permissions might impact the proper functioning of the App. If you grant any of the permissions listed below, your information may be collected by the App:

Location: This permission is used to grant the App access to transmit your device’s location, using Google’s location services to obtain your location when you are using the App. This is done to provide the closest addresses based on your location. At the same time, IP address is also obtained from the app so that the app is able to localise the content based on your location. When you close the App, all location transmissions are cut – Wuum Health will not be able to access your location.

Camera: This permission is needed to allow the App to use your camera when taking pictures or video from within the App for identity verification and video consultation purposes. During this process, the App will enable your camera and the screen will change on your device so that you are aware of the process. Once you have closed the App, there are no functions used to access your camera.

Microphone: Almost identical to the camera permission, the microphone permission is requested so that the App can activate audio during the video consultation process. Your microphone cannot be accessed once you have closed the App.

Storage: The App requests access to your device’s storage so that it can access images and videos that reside in Wuum Health’s server. There is also an option to upload images from your device instead of having to take the picture from within the App itself. This permission gives us the ability to access those images – we do not access any other data saved on your device. Like all other permissions the App requests, access to your device’s storage is not permitted once you have closed the app.
