Who are we?

Healix International Limited is a provider of Travel Risk Management Services elected to provide RSA Travel Assistance App services. Healix International Limited (Healix) has a registered address at Healix House, Esher, KT10 8AB, UK and registration number 3912483. Healix will process your personal data for the purpose of delivering the RSA Travel Assistance App services on behalf of your insurer only.

What does the RSA Travel Assistance App do?

The RSA Travel Assistance app provides instant access to critical insight and support before and during overseas assignments. The app provides current travel safety information, advice, and real-time alerts on incidents around the world and enables you to:

  • Receive breaking news alerts using location aware push notifications
  • Manage a country watchlist to receive alerts for specific destinations
  • Access travel safety and security information for over 200 countries worldwide
  • Connect directly to the Healix operations team for emergency assistance
  • Activate an emergency ‘Mayday’ function in a crisis
  • Access advice and travel safety e-learning module
  • Store key documents such as passport, insurance and travel visas.

How we collect Personal Information

Healix will collect information directly from you when you complete the registration process for the RSA Travel Assistance App. During the registration process you will be asked to provide your name, email address, the name of your company/policy or scheme details (where applicable).

Usage data: We collect App crash analytics data to assist with troubleshooting technical issues, e-learning activity (where applicable) and device ID to link a user to their device.

Location data: With the RSA Travel Assistance App, your location is identified using Global Positioning System (GPS). This requires you to activate the “Location Services” in the app. Subject to your applicable policies it is optional to turn GPS location tracking on and off. The GPS location setting can be changed at any point in the app settings under “Location Services”.

Where “Location Services” are enabled, background location data is used to determine when your device changes location to another country based on the GPS data allowing you to receive location-based alerts. It will allow you to share accurate location data with Healix in the event of a Mayday alert being triggered. GPS location data is only stored where the user has activated the emergency Mayday feature.

Location data will be used even when the App is not open dependent on the 'Location Services' settings on your device.
