A.3.2 In-app purchases. Any in-app purchases will be managed through the payment systems of the stores (Apple App Store, Google Play Store) and subject to their respective terms. The right of withdrawal for digital purchases is governed by the Italian Consumer Code (Codice del Consumo, Legislative Decree 206/2005).

A.8 Patient Mode – Linking with a Professional
The following clauses apply solely to the User who activates Patient Mode. Activation requires the express acceptance of these additional clauses.
A.8.1 Activation and linking
(a) In order to activate Patient Mode, the User enters in the App the unique code provided by the Professional. The link allows the Professional to view and manage the User’s data through the Platform and to share dietary plans, training plans and personalised information.
(b) The User acknowledges that their own data will be accessible to the linked Professional. The Professional acts as an independent data controller for the purposes connected with their own professional activity. Drilldown acts as data processor on behalf of the Professional, limited to storage and processing through the Platform.
(c) The User may unlink from the Professional at any time from the App settings. Unlinking interrupts the sharing of data, it being understood that the data already transmitted remains at the disposal of the Professional in the capacity of independent controller.
A.8.2 Additional functions
In Patient Mode, the User may, depending on the service provided, access:
• Personalised dietary plans: display of the plans drawn up by the Professional, with recipes, portions and nutritional values.
• Anthropometric monitoring: body measurements through photographic scanning (Article A.8.3), with history and charts showing change over time.
• Personal dashboard: display of their own parameters and of the trend over time.
• Communication with the Professional: messaging within the scope of the professional relationship.
• Training plans (where activated by the Professional): personalised exercise programmes.
A.8.3 Anthropometric measurement through photography
(a) Description. The App allows the User, on the Professional’s instructions, to carry out anthropometric measurements through photographic scanning. The User takes photographs of the body from their own device in rear and side shots, following the in-app instructions. The photographs are processed by SDK Providers which return measurements (circumferences, estimated body composition, fat/lean mass percentages).
(b) Privacy precautions. The photographs are taken exclusively in rear and side shots, and without capturing the face or, alternatively, where frontal, they shall provide for the obscuring of the face (privacy by design). The User is required to: (i) turn their head towards the wall while the shot is taken; (ii) cover any identifying marks (e.g. tattoos).
(c) Storage of images. The photographs are stored on Drilldown’s servers (located in the EU/EEA) for display in the dashboard and comparison over time. The images sent to the SDK Providers may be deleted after processing or retained for a limited period (indicated in the Privacy Policy).
(d) Indicative nature. The measurements are for informational purposes only. They do not constitute a clinical or diagnostic examination. The User must not take decisions concerning their own health based solely on the results.
A.8.4 Health data and consent
(a) Special categories of data. In Patient Mode the App processes special categories of data under Article 9 GDPR: data concerning health (nutritional status, weight, body parameters, diseases or allergies), potentially biometric data (body images and derived measurements), data capable of revealing religious or philosophical beliefs (dietary preferences).
(b) Explicit consent. Before activation and before each measurement session, the App requests explicit, specific and informed consent pursuant to Article 9(2)(a) GDPR. Consent is separate for each purpose:
• Consent to the linking with the Professional (mandatory for Patient Mode): sharing of personal and health data;
• Consent to anthropometric measurement (optional): acquisition and processing of body photographs;
• Consent to external integrations (optional): import/export of data from/to third-party platforms.
(c) Withdrawal. Each consent may be withdrawn at any time from the App settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the withdrawal.
A.8.5 Integrations with health platforms
The App may offer optional integrations with third-party platforms (e.g. Apple Health / HealthKit, Google Health Connect) for the import/export of data (weight, physical activity, body parameters). Activation is optional and requires explicit consent. The imported data will be visible to the linked Professional, where applicable. Drilldown is not responsible for the operation of third-party platforms. The use of HealthKit data complies with the Apple Developer Program Guidelines (section 5.1.3): HealthKit data will not be used for advertising or data mining purposes.
A.8.6 Relationship with the Professional
(a) Drilldown provides the technology only. The relationship between the User and the Professional is direct between the parties; Drilldown is not a party to it and assumes no responsibility for it.
(b) Any decision concerning health, diet or physical activity must be taken by the competent Professional. The App does not replace professional judgement.
(c) For complaints about the professional service, the User shall address the Professional directly. For technical complaints about the App, the User shall contact Drilldown (Article 7).
A.8.7 Data portability
The User has the right to obtain a copy of their own data in a structured, machine-readable format (Article 20 GDPR). The App makes available an export function accessible from the settings. In the event of deletion of the Account in Patient Mode, the User has a grace period of 30 days to export their own data before final deletion.
SECTION B — TUDUU PLATFORM
Specific conditions for Professional Users
B.1 Scope and Registration
B.1.1 This Section B applies to all Professional Users who register with the web Platform (platform.tuduu.it). Professional Users means:
• nutrition professionals (nutritionists, dietician physicians, dieticians);
• content creators and content providers;
• e-commerce operators in the food or nutrition sector;
• fitness and well-being professionals (personal trainers, athletic trainers, wellness operators).
B.1.2 Registration. Registration takes place (i) through the online sign-up form, or (ii) by direct invitation from Drilldown. The User warrants that the information provided is accurate and complete. Drilldown reserves the right to request documentation in order to verify professional status (e.g. registration with a professional register).
B.1.3 Single Account. Each User may create only one Account, save for a different written authorisation for specific needs. Drilldown reserves the right to delete duplicate accounts.
B.2 Modular Architecture
The Platform is organised into functional modules that may be activated independently or in combination (hereinafter, the “Modules”). Each Module may be subject to specific conditions described in the following articles. The general clauses (General Part + Articles B.1, B.10-B.16) apply to all Professional Users; the clauses of the individual Modules apply solely to those who have activated them.
B.3 “Recipes” Module
The “Recipes” section allows Professional Users to create, upload and manage culinary recipes. In particular: (i) nutrition professionals may create recipes to be included in dietary plans; (ii) creators may publish original recipes; (iii) e-commerce operators may associate the products of their own shop as ingredients of the recipes, creating “purchasable recipes”. The section allows nutritional and dietary preference filters. The recipes are processed by algorithms which automatically calculate the nutritional values per portion.
B.4 “Merchant” Module
The “Merchant” section is dedicated to e-commerce operators or retailers. The User may integrate their own product catalogue with the Platform, linking products to recipes and allowing direct purchases. The Platform offers automatic SEO functions for the integrated recipes. The e-commerce operator is solely responsible for the products, the transactions, regulatory compliance, order management, shipping, invoicing and after-sales assistance. Drilldown provides the technology infrastructure only and is not a party to the sales.
B.5 “Nutrition” Module
B.5.1 Description. The “Nutrition” section is aimed at nutrition professionals. The functions include:
• tools to create and personalise dietary plans, with the possibility of using recipes and viewing nutritional impacts in real time;
• generation of PDF documents (diet sheets, nutritional reports);
• a mobile application which allows the patient to view the nutritional plan and the recommended recipes;
• anthropometric measurement functions (Article B.6);
• professional monitoring dashboard showing the change in anthropometric and nutritional parameters over time.
B.6 Anthropometric Measurement
B.6.1 Description. The Platform integrates, for the Modules which provide for it (Nutrition and Fitness), an anthropometric measurement function based on the processing of body images.
(a) Acquisition of the images. The patient/client takes photographs of the body through the App. The in-app guidelines provide for privacy by design precautions: the subject must turn their head towards the wall; any identifying marks must be covered. Where the provider offers an experience that provides for a frontal photograph, systems for obscuring the face and for non-retention will be implemented.
(b) Processing through third-party SDKs. The images are transmitted to the SDK Providers (Annex 2) which return measurements (circumferences, estimated body composition). Processing may take place partly on the device (on-device) and partly on the Provider’s servers.
(c) Storage. The original photographs are stored on Drilldown’s servers (EU/EEA) for the dashboard and comparison over time. The images sent to the SDK Providers may be deleted after processing or retained for a limited period (Annex 2). The Professional may delete a patient’s images at any time.
(d) Results. The results are integrated into the professional dashboard and into the patient’s app. The measurements are for informational and supporting purposes: they do not constitute a clinical or diagnostic examination. The Professional is required to supplement such data with their own clinical assessment.
B.7 “Fitness” Module (in the process of activation)
The “Fitness” section will be aimed at fitness and well-being professionals. The professional will be able to create personalised training plans, monitor progress through anthropometric measurement and combine training programmes with nutritional plans. The specific conditions will be governed by a dedicated Annex published before activation. The SDK Provider for measurement in the Fitness Module may differ from that of the Nutrition Module.
B.8 Integrations with External Platforms
The Platform may offer optional integrations with third-party platforms for the monitoring of health and physical activity (e.g. Apple Health / HealthKit, Google Health Connect). Activation is optional and requires the explicit consent of the User and/or of the patient. Drilldown is not responsible for the operation or the policies of third-party platforms. The User is required to verify compliance with their own professional obligations.
B.9 Analysis Algorithms
The Platform uses algorithms for nutritional analysis and for the processing of anthropometric measurements. The outputs (nutritional values, indications on allergens, body composition) are indicative. It is the responsibility of the Professional User to verify the accuracy of the information before using it or communicating it to their own clients. Any errors or anomalies must be reported promptly to Drilldown.
B.10 Obligations of the Professional User
B.10.1 Compliant use. The User undertakes to use the Platform in compliance with the Conditions, with Drilldown’s instructions and with the applicable laws. Use for illegal or unauthorised purposes is not permitted.
B.10.2 Verification of outputs. The Professional User is required to check the accuracy of the algorithmic outputs before using them for professional purposes (Article B.9).
B.10.3 Compliance with professional rules. If subject to rules of professional ethics, the User is required to use the Platform in a manner consistent with their own professional obligations.
B.10.4 Specific obligations for anthropometric measurement. The User who uses the measurement functions undertakes to: (i) inform the patient about the manner of acquisition and about the privacy precautions; (ii) obtain the patient’s explicit consent for the processing of the images in accordance with Article B.10.5; (iii) not use images or data for purposes other than the consultancy; (iv) not share images with third parties without the patient’s consent.
B.10.5 Third-party data and consent for special categories. The User who enters personal data of third parties (patients/clients) warrants that they have collected it lawfully. In particular:
• For special categories of data under Article 9 GDPR (health, biometric data, body images, preferences capable of revealing religious beliefs): the User must obtain explicit, specific, informed and freely given consent under Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, in advance and in a documentable form.
• Drilldown makes available granular consent mechanisms in the App and in the Platform which distinguish mandatory purposes from optional ones. The User is required to use such mechanisms.
• In relation to such processing, the User qualifies as Data Controller and Drilldown acts as Data Processor under Article 28 GDPR. The conditions are governed by Annex 1 (DPA).
B.11 Subscription Plans and Payments
B.11.1 Paid services. Access to certain functions may be subject to a paid SaaS subscription plan, with different service levels. The anthropometric measurement functions may entail additional consumption-based costs (pay-per-use).
B.11.2 Fees and payment. Prices are indicated on the Platform, stated exclusive of VAT. Payment is made through Stripe. The User authorises automatic charging at the frequency provided for by the plan.

B.13.2 White Label partnerships. Drilldown may grant third parties (“Partners”) the use of the Platform on a white label basis (zero attribution). In such case: (a) the Partner acts as independent controller of the processing of its own users’ data; (b) Drilldown acts as the technology provider and, where applicable, as data processor under Article 28 GDPR; (c) the Partner is responsible for its own T&Cs and privacy policy towards its own users; (d) the commercial terms are governed by a specific contract.

C.2.2 Selection of the Professionals.

In order to provide the Care Service, Drilldown collects from the End User the following data: contact data (first name, surname, e-mail, telephone), information on the nutritional needs and dietary preferences expressed by the User, and any other information provided voluntarily. Some of this information may fall within the special categories of data under Article 9 GDPR (data concerning health, preferences capable of revealing religious or philosophical beliefs).
C.3.2 Legal basis and consent. The processing of contact data is based on the performance of the service requested by the User (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). For special category data, Drilldown requests the User’s explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR) before transmission to the Care Professional.
C.3.3 Transmission. The data is transmitted solely to the Care Professional selected by the User. From the moment of transmission, the Care Professional becomes an independent data controller for the purposes of their own professional activity. Drilldown does not retain the User data transmitted to the Professional beyond the period strictly necessary for the provision of the intermediation service (a maximum of 6 months from transmission), save for legal obligations.
C.3.4 Minimisation. Drilldown transmits to the Care Professional solely the data necessary to contact and take charge of the User. No further data will be transmitted without the User’s consent.
C.4 Exclusion of Liability
C.4.1 Drilldown is not liable for: (i) the quality, adequacy or outcome of the Care Professional’s service; (ii) any breaches, delays or damages caused by the Professional; (iii) the financial terms agreed directly between the User and the Professional; (iv) the processing of data carried out by the Professional in the capacity of independent controller.
C.4.2 Complaints. For complaints relating to the professional service, the User shall address the Care Professional directly. For complaints relating to the operation of the Care Service (e.g. failure to transmit data, errors in the matching), the User may contact Drilldown at the contact details indicated in Article 7.
C.5 Consumer Protections
The End User of the Care Service benefits from the same protections provided for by Article A.7 (consumer’s court, ODR platform, unfair terms).
