End User may also selectively choose to hide any of the functionalities (except battery, time, and body composition analysis) from the screen of the Wearable device. The Ranking system function, derived from the Wearable device, in the App is available for End User to compare End User’s steps and/or scores activity with End User’s friends and family who have this system available and turned on. This optional feature requires End User to provide access to the contacts and opt-in to share End User’s results with End User’s contacts through settings. To know more about ranking system and the different functions of the Wearable device, please refer to the “Terms of Service for End User”.

E. Required or Permitted by law:

G. Data That End User May Direct us to Share
End User can direct us to share End User’s data with other parties or users. For example, End User may authorize us to share End User’s data with other End Users through the mobile App, with End User’s employer as part of a wellness program or with other
End Users or Analysis Facilities in connection with End User’s participation in contests, challenges or other events. End User may also direct us to share End User’s Personal Information with any other third-party app or website which will be subject to different set of terms and conditions.
VI. Consent
A. Unless we determine that we require an additional consent for specific Service(s) or any other new purpose, End User agree and consent that we may collect, use, share, or otherwise process End User’s Personal Information in accordance with this Policy.
B. End User’s consent denotes that End User has read the Policy in its entirety and understand the collection, use and disclosure of End User’s Personal Information in our organization.
C. In most cases, End Users have the ability to withdraw End User’s consent. However, because of regulatory requirements imposed upon us, or contractual obligations End User have with us, there are certain limited circumstances where End User may not withdraw End User’s consent to the collection, use or sharing of End User’s Personal Information. If End User choose not to provide us with certain Personal Information, or where End User have withdrawn End User’s consent, we may not be able to offer End User the Services or information that End User requested or that could be offered to End User. For example, if End User withdraw End User’s consent to use Personal Information such as weight, height, or gender, it will be impossible for the InBody Body Composition Analysis Device to test End User’s composition. Personal Information will not be disclosed without the consent of the individual, except to the extent permitted by applicable law in following cases:
1) Contact relating to Service inquiries or repairs
2) Requests for disclosure for legitimate legal reasons
3) When necessary to protect life, health, property or other vital interests of the End User
4) When a transfer of Personal Information is judged necessary to continue service in the event of changes to the service provider for example: a company merger
5) Other disclosures required or permitted by applicable law.
VII. Data Retention and Deletion
We and our affiliates actively retain Personal Information for ten years for our relationship for the purposes described above or as permitted or required by federal law. Aggregation of data will take place after ten years of End User’s inactivity. End User’s Personal Information is aggregated when End User are inactive on the App AND have not used the Product for ten years. When End User’s information is aggregated, End User’s Protected Health Information, name, ID, phone number, and email address, is deleted permanently. Only the de-identifiable information is kept for development, improvement, and/or marketing purposes. Inactivity is defined by two requirements:
1) When End Users are inactive (have not logged in) on the App
2) When End Users have not used the Product at the Facility
Inactivity or cancellation of the subscription by the Analysis Facility from the Product or the Service does not impact End User’s access to previous test results or the test results produced by InBody wearable products. If an End User is continuously using the Product, End User’s information will be retained until End User become inactive for ten years or deletes the information by making a request to the Facility.
Data can be deleted (i) if an Administrator of the Site deletes the data or account on the Site; or (ii) if End User manually delete the test results on the App (which does not mean that data has been deleted on the Facility’s Site).
To delete End User’s Personal Information permanently, End User must talk to End User’s Administrator or Staff Member to delete End User’s information. Analysis Facility has Custody and Control over data that was acquired at their Facility. However, if End User does not have a Facility and End User uses personal or home use device(s) independently, End User may delete End User’s test results or withdraw End User’s account to permanently delete End User’s account and information therein.
Deleting records and Personal Information is permanent; however, please note that in some cases we may be required to retain certain information where permitted or required by law, including without limitation if such information is the subject of a legal dispute. LookinBody Company may wait for a certain time before permanently deleting End User’s records or Personal Information in order to help avoid accidental or malicious removal of End User’s information.
A. Backups
A Backup is defined as data stored that matches the data on the Analysis Facility’s Services. The Backup will be maintained for the duration of the End User account or LookinBody Web active account until data is permanently deleted from the account. Data may be stored in the Backup even after someone deletes an End User account or information to avoid accidental or malicious deletion of End User’s information. After a reasonable time period has passed, the data will be deleted permanently or restored if requested. After the data is deleted permanently, the Backup will be deleted, subject to any legal requirements.
VIII. Data Accuracy
InBody works hard to ensure that the information within its Custody and Control is accurate. Nevertheless, the End User should be vigilant of the accuracy of their own Personal Information. The method for updating Personal Information depends on the information source. Personal Information comes from one of the following:
1) Entered by End User on the App or the Product
2) Entered by the Analysis Facility on the Site or the Product
Information End Users delete, update, or add on the App is stored only on an End User’s phone, viewable to End User, and will impact End User’s manually inputted test results, Personal Use device, and Wearable device results. It is in our Custody but Controlled by End User. If End User wishes to update End User’s Personal Information on any other device, End User should consult End User’s Analysis Facility or personally update it on the device. Any change to End User’s Personal Information will not impact End User’s previous tests.
Any factors of the Personal Information that are dynamic (changes frequently) for example Weight, Age or Phone Number, should be updated by End User or the Analysis Facility accordingly. As the Analysis Facility and End User have full authority to change or update any part of the Personal Information, InBody and its affiliates do not take responsibility for test results and/or decisions made, based on the inaccurate Personal Information.
IX. Accessing and Correcting Personal Information
End User and the Analysis Facility have full authority to add, update, or delete any part of End User’s Personal Information. Yet End User may request access or correction of End User’s Personal Information to us. To access or request correction of End User’s Personal Information, please contact us at Info@InBody.com. We may require End User to verify End User’s identity before allowing End User to access End User’s Personal Information. We may decline End User’s access because of security or legal reasons but End User can submit a written request to us and we will try to address the issues as soon as possible.
X. Children’s Privacy
We are mindful that the Services will be attractive and of benefit to potential users under the age of 18 or local age of majority and it is our policy, regardless of the country in which the Analysis Facility is located, to ensure that parents or legal guardians can monitor data collected in respect of such users. Our Service(s) is available to End Users who are below the age of 18 or local age of majority. The parent or legal guardian of any End User aged below 18 years of age is required to consent to the collection and use of his/her child’s Personal Information and Personal Health Information at the time of registering and use of our Services. When End User consent to this Policy, if applicable, End User consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information and Personal Health Information of End User’s child. A parent or legal guardian of any child who has not attained 18 years of age or local age of majority can review his/her child’s Personal Information and Personal Health Information, ask to have it deleted, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child’s information from the Analysis Facility.

During these discussions, Disclosing Party may share certain proprietary information with the Recipient. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definition of Confidential Information.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any data or information that is proprietary to the Disclosing Party and not generally known to the public, whether in tangible or intangible form, whenever and however disclosed, including, but not limited to: (i) any marketing strategies, plans, financial information, or projections, operations, sales related documents, business plans and performance results relating to the past, present or future business activities of such party, its affiliates, subsidiaries and affiliated companies; (ii) plans for products or services, and customer or supplier lists; (iii) any scientific or technical information, invention, design, process, procedure, formula, improvement, technology or method; (iv) any concepts, reports, data, know-how, works-in-progress, designs, development tools, specifications, computer software, source code, object code, flow charts, databases, inventions, information and trade secrets; and (v) any other information that should reasonably be recognized as confidential information of the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information need not be novel, unique, patentable, copyrightable or constitute a trade secret in order to be designated Confidential Information. The Receiving Party acknowledges that the Confidential Information is proprietary to the Disclosing Party, has been developed and obtained through great efforts by the Disclosing Party and that Disclosing Party regards all of its Confidential Information as trade secrets
(b) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include information which: (i) was known by the Receiving Party prior to receiving the Confidential Information from the Disclosing Party; (b) becomes rightfully known to the Receiving Party from a third-party source not known (after diligent inquiry) by the Receiving Party to be under an obligation to Disclosing Party to maintain confidentiality; (c) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of or failure to act by the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; (d) is required to be disclosed in a judicial or administrative proceeding, or is otherwise requested or required to be disclosed by law or regulation, although the requirements of paragraph 4 hereof shall apply prior to any disclosure being made; and (e) is or has been independently developed by employees, consultants or agents of the Receiving Party without violation of the terms of this Agreement or reference or access to any Confidential Information.
2. Disclosure of Confidential Information.
From time to time, the Disclosing Party may disclose Confidential Information to the Receiving Party. The Receiving Party will: (a) limit disclosure of any Confidential Information to its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives (collectively “Representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the current or contemplated business relationship between the parties to which this Agreement relates, and only for that purpose; (b) advise its Representatives of the proprietary nature of the Confidential Information and of the obligations set forth in this Agreement and require such Representatives to keep the Confidential Information confidential; (c) shall keep all NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT Page 2
Confidential Information strictly confidential by using a reasonable degree of care, but not less than the degree of care used by it in safeguarding its own confidential information; and (d) not disclose any Confidential Information received by it to any third parties (except as otherwise provided for herein).
Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of their respective Representatives.
3. Use of Confidential Information.
The Receiving Party agrees to use the Confidential Information solely in connection with the current or contemplated business relationship between the parties and not for any purpose other than as authorized by this Agreement without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of the Disclosing Party. No other right or license, whether expressed or implied, in the Confidential Information is granted to the Receiving Party hereunder. Title to the Confidential Information will remain solely in the Disclosing Party. All use of Confidential Information by the Receiving Party shall be for the benefit of the Disclosing Party and any modifications and improvements thereof by the Receiving Party shall be the sole property of the Disclosing Party. Nothing contained herein is intended to modify the parties’ existing agreement that their discussions in furtherance of a potential business relationship are governed by Federal Rule of Evidence 408.
4. Term.
This Agreement shall remain in effect for a one-year term (subject to a one year extension if the parties are still discussing and considering the Transaction at the end of the second year). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties’ duty to hold in confidence Confidential Information that was disclosed during term shall remain in effect indefinitely.
5. Remedies.
Both parties acknowledge that the Confidential Information to be disclosed hereunder is of a unique and valuable character, and that the unauthorized dissemination of the Confidential Information would destroy or diminish the value of such information. The damages to Disclosing Party that would result from the unauthorized dissemination of the Confidential Information would be impossible to calculate. Therefore, both parties hereby agree that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief preventing the dissemination of any Confidential Information in violation of the terms hereof. Such injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, whether at law or in equity. Disclosing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in obtaining any such relief. Further, in the event of litigation relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
6. Return of Confidential Information.
Receiving Party shall immediately return and redeliver to the other all tangible material embodying the Confidential Information provided hereunder and all notes, summaries, memoranda, drawings, manuals, records, excerpts or derivative information deriving there from and all other documents or materials (“Notes”) (and all copies of any of the foregoing, including “copies” that have been converted to computerized media in the form of image, data or word processing files either manually or by image capture) based on or including any Confidential Information, in whatever form of storage or retrieval, upon the earlier of (i) the completion or termination of the dealings between the parties contemplated hereunder; (ii) the termination of this Agreement; or (iii) at such time as the Disclosing Party may so request; provided however that the Receiving Party may retain such of its documents as is necessary to enable it to comply with its document retention policies. Alternatively, the Receiving Party, with the written consent of the Disclosing Party may (or in the case of Notes, at the Receiving Party’s option) immediately destroy any of the foregoing embodying Confidential Information (or the reasonably non-recoverable data erasure of computerized data) and, upon request, certify in writing such destruction by an authorized officer of the Receiving Party supervising the destruction). NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT Page 3
7. Notice of Breach.
Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by Receiving Party or its Representatives, or any other breach of this Agreement by Receiving Party or its Representatives, and will cooperate with efforts by the Disclosing Party to help the Disclosing Party regain possession of Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized use.
8. No Binding Agreement for Transaction.
The parties agree that neither party will be under any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to a Transaction by virtue of this Agreement, except for the matters specifically agreed to herein. The parties further acknowledge and agree that they each reserve the right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to reject any and all proposals and to terminate discussions and negotiations with respect to a Transaction at any time. This Agreement does not create a joint venture or partnership between the parties. If a Transaction goes forward, the non-disclosure provisions of any applicable transaction documents entered into between the parties (or their respective affiliates) for the Transaction shall supersede this Agreement. In the event such provision is not provided for in said transaction documents, this Agreement shall control.
9. Warranty.
Each party warrants that it has the right to make the disclosures under this Agreement. NO WARRANTIES ARE MADE BY EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WHATSOEVER. The parties acknowledge that although they shall each endeavor to include in the Confidential Information all information that they each believe relevant for the purpose of the evaluation of a Transaction, the parties understand that no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information is being made by either party as the Disclosing Party. Further, neither party is under any obligation under this Agreement to disclose any Confidential Information it chooses not to disclose. Neither Party hereto shall have any liability to the other party or to the other party’s Representatives resulting from any use of the Confidential Information except with respect to disclosure of such Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can only be modified by a written amendment signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification is sought.
(b) The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of California applicable to contracts made and to be wholly performed within such state, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions thereof. The Federal and state courts located in California shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising under the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Any failure by either party to enforce the other party’s strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of its right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
(d) Although the restrictions contained in this Agreement are considered by the parties to be reasonable for the purpose of protecting the Confidential Information, if any such restriction is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be modified, rewritten or interpreted to include as much of its nature and scope as will render it enforceable. If it cannot be so modified, rewritten or interpreted to be enforceable in any respect, it will not be given effect, and the remainder of the Agreement will be enforced as if such provision was not included.
(e) Any notices or communications required or permitted to be given hereunder may be delivered by hand, deposited with a nationally recognized overnight carrier, electronic-mail, or mailed by certified mail, NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT Page 4

(f) This Agreement is personal in nature, and neither party may directly or indirectly assign or transfer it by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. All obligations contained in this Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors, assigns and designees.
(g) The receipt of Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement will not prevent or in any way limit either party from: (i) developing, making or marketing products or services that are or may be competitive with the products or services of the other; or (ii) providing products or services to others who compete with the other.
(h) Paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not be used or relied upon in the interpretation of this Agreement.
