At MedBeat we believe that it is of utmost importance that the privacy of our users is thoroughly protected. It is therefore of importance that our data processing is done correctly adhering to all legal regulations.

MedBeat AB company reg. no. 559182-5426, owns and provides the “MedBeat” technical platform and application (the “diary app”). The company is responsible for the handling and processing of your personal data and is the data controller of this information. Personal data which is gathered through the diary app will also be processed by the healthcare provider selected through the diary app. In the cases where processing of data done by your chosen healthcare provider leads to healthcare, it is the healthcare provider who is the data controller. This means that when you commence in submitting heart data for heart healthcare purposes (e.g. by submitting diary journal  activity via a symptom entry) or making treatment/healthcare related choices (e.g. listing with a healthcare center operated by MedBeat as a healthcare provider), it is solely the relevant healthcare provider which is data controller for any analysis/processing of personal data. In these cases we refer you to the healthcare provider’s own data policy.

 

If you have any questions or comments regarding the processing of your personal data related to your use of the website and app, you are always welcome to contact us and/or our data protection officer via our website at https://www.medbeat.se/, or by sending an email to contact@medbeat.se.
