7. Information Governance

Data ownership

The quality, legality, accuracy and integrity of the data entered into the system is the responsibility of the user entering it and ownership of that data resides with the originating party. In the case of projects, the originating party is the Lead Organisation as defined in the General Info area of a project.

Users and organisations shall not be permitted to publish, sell or distribute data that they do not own without the permission of the originating party.

Data sharing

In order to assist with system administration and maintenance you agree to allow the Life QI Team access to all your data contained within the system. This does however not allow us to distribute, sell or publish your data to third parties outside of Seedata.

Data Integrity and Liability

We do not control the quality, legality, accuracy or integrity of the data you or your users or other organisations add to the system. They are responsible for the quality, legality, accuracy and integrity of all such data.

You agree not to supply or add data that it or its supply/addition may be considered illegal, unlawful, threatening, abusive or offensive. You confirm that Seedata will be indemnified for any liability or loss it incurs or suffers arising out of or in connection with or as a result of data supplied or added on your or your users’ behalf. In the event of a breach of this clause we reserve the right to terminate this agreement immediately.

We are not responsible for the impact of decisions made based on data added or supplied to Life QI by or on behalf of you or any other organisation.

Data Retention

Life QI is built to be a system that others can learn from, so by default we do not remove content data when an organisation ceases to use the system. This data may continue to benefit the QI community using Life QI so by default it remains on the system so others can learn from it. However, there is the facility to arrange for your content data to be removed from the system.

Personal data will only be removed upon request from the data subject.

Meta data will be retained for as long as the system continues to be in use.

Data Protection

Both parties shall ensure that they, their employees, agents and sub-contractors shall observe the requirements of the applicable data protection legislation and any amendments or revisions thereto in the provision and use of the subject matter of the Agreement and shall comply with any request made or direction given to the other which is directly due to the requirements of such legislation.

Life QI is an improvement support tool designed to allow health and social care organisations to capture quality improvement data. At no point, will the system ask or require you to enter patient identifiable information. Should you choose to do so it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with the relevant information governance policies and all relevant data protection laws and regulations.

Confidentiality

Each party may be given access to Confidential Information from the other party in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement. As used herein, ‘Confidential Information’ means all information disclosed by a party (‘Disclosing Party’) to the other party (‘Receiving Party’), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. A party’s Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include information that: is or becomes publicly known other than through any act or omission of the receiving party; was in the other party’s lawful possession before the disclosure; is lawfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without restriction on disclosure; is independently developed by the receiving party, which independent development can be shown by evidence; or is required to be disclosed by law.

Each party shall hold the other’s Confidential Information in confidence and use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable care, and unless required by law, not make the other’s Confidential Information available to any third party, or use the other’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than the implementation of this Agreement.

Each party shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the other’s Confidential Information to which it has access is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of the terms of this Agreement.

8. Information Security

The principles of information security require that all reasonable care is taken to prevent inappropriate access, modification or manipulation of data from taking place. Seedata, together with our hosting partners, have appropriate technological and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised or unlawful access, and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration or disclosure.

We take security extremely seriously, which is why we use a world leader in cloud computing Amazon Web Services (AWS), to host Life QI. We work with AWS to take every step to ensure the physical security of data hosted on their servers. AWS' highly secure datacentres utilise state-of-the art electronic surveillance and multi-factor access control systems.

AWS is subject to numerous audits and certifications according to several global best practices and government standards. AWS has successfully completed and maintains many audits and certifications, including ISO27001, SOC 1 (SSAE 16 and ISAE 3402), SOC 2 – Security, SOC 3, PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, as well as FedRAMP, FIPS 140-2, FISMA and DIACAP for US government agencies.

All data transmission between our servers and user machines is over an SSL encrypted connection. No traffic other than http and https is allowed into the network. Secure areas of the database are salted and encrypted using highly secure cryptographic hashing algorithms. User access to Life QI is login protected.

You are responsible for ensuring your Users’ use of the system complies with any applicable organisational information governance policies.

9. Service Availability

As a web hosted solution, the system is designed to be available to users 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We have measures in place to try to ensure the solution remains constantly available, and we aim to achieve 99.9% availability (excluding maintenance). Our team are on duty 24 hours a day and are backed up by data centre team dedicated to service availability.

10. Support & Maintenance

Technical support

Technical support is defined as troubleshooting and fault rectification of technical issues. Technical support will be provided by the Life QI Team.

Categorising technical support requests – Users are able to log technical support requests under two categories: 1) Help Needed - general assistance on the use of the system, 2) Fault – technical incident requiring corrective action.

Logging support requests – Users will be able to log support requests with the Life QI Team. Details of how to do so are accessible from the Help area of the system. All logged requests will be sent to the Life QI Team for appropriate action.

Response times – The target response times for support requests are outlined in the table below (Table 1). The Life QI Team will use its reasonable judgement when assessing the priority of Faults. In circumstances where these response times cannot be met because of the complexity of the incident it will be escalated from a Fault to a Problem. At this point the user will be notified and we will work with them to look to find and implement a resolution. Due to the unknown nature of Problems it is not possible to provide definite rectification times.

Support hours – Technical support will be provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

QI support

QI support is defined as assisting users with understanding and applying the QI methods and tools upon which the Life QI system is based. The Life QI Team is not responsible for providing reactive QI support to end users. Our support in this area is limited to maintaining the Life QI Help Centre which contains information and guidance on how to use the system and how to interpret key aspects of the method and tools. Reactive QI support to end users is your responsibility. 

Maintenance

The Life QI Team will from time to time carry out maintenance on or in respect of the system. Whenever reasonably possible users will be notified of any planned system downtime for scheduled maintenance and updates during working hours at least 5 days in advance. Whenever reasonably possible downtime will be limited to outside of normal working hours.

11. Branding & Representation

Your use of or reference to Life QI in promotional, instructional, reference materials, on web sites, in publications, seminars, or conferences, must not bring Seedata, Life QI or the Life QI brand into disrepute. Furthermore, you promise that you will not make statements that explicitly or by inference imply creation of or ownership of Life QI or the elements constituting the system or brand by your organisation or any other organisation or person.

You agree to allow us to reference you as a customer by featuring your logo and organisation name on our website and in promotional material.

12. Future development of Life QI

So far as Seedata is aware at the commencement date, the system (nor any part thereof) does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

Subject to the provisions in this clause, Seedata undertakes at its own expense to defend you in respect of any successful claim or action brought against you, alleging that the possession or use of the system (or any part thereof) in accordance with the terms of this agreement infringes the intellectual property rights in the United Kingdom of a third party ("Claim") and shall be responsible for paying any out of pocket legal costs and/or damages awarded by an English court against you in favour of the claimant in respect of the Claim.

Subject to the provisions in this clause, if any third party makes a Claim, or notifies an intention to make a Claim against you, Seedata's obligations are conditional on you: giving immediate written notice of the Claim to Seedata, specifying the nature of the Claim in reasonable detail; not making any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in relation to the Claim without the prior written consent of Seedata (at Seedata's absolute discretion); allowing Seedata exclusive control over and conduct of all Claims and any settlement thereof; and giving Seedata all assistance that it may reasonably require in the conduct of any Claims, including giving Seedata and its professional advisers access to its premises and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or advisers, and to any relevant assets, accounts, documents and records within your power or control, so as to enable Seedata and its professional advisers to examine them and to take copies (at Seedata's expense) for the purpose of assessing the Claim.

Subject to the provisions of this clause, if any Claim is made, or in Seedata's reasonable opinion is likely to be made, against you, Seedata may at its absolute discretion and expense: procure for you the right to continue to use the system (or any part thereof) in accordance with the terms of this agreement; modify the system so that it ceases to be infringing; or replace the system with an alternative non-infringing system; provided that if Seedata modifies or replaces the system, you shall have the same rights in respect thereof as it would have had under this agreement had the references to the date of this agreement been references to the date on which such modification or replacement was made.

The protections afforded to you in this clause shall only apply if you have paid to us (in full and in cleared funds) all sums due pursuant to this agreement in respect of your use of the system.
