Privacy by design

Privacy requirements are considered during product design, not added only after a workflow is built.

Transparency

Public policies describe what data is collected, why it is used, who processes it, and how to contact the privacy team.

Request handling

Access, correction, deletion, and complaint requests are routed to a privacy process with defined ownership.

Implementation measures

  • Minimum necessary data collection for documentation workflows
  • Retention and deletion procedures for account and clinical data
  • Administrative access limited by role and operational need
  • Security monitoring, audit logs, and incident response procedures
