In addition, we utilize services of external service providers (e.g., Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Cloudfare etc.), as well as our affiliate network worldwide (e.g., MedApp Dynamics entities in the United Kingdom, USA, Australia, India, Singapore etc.).
All mentioned third-party providers and employees of such providers may receive access to personal data through the service they provide.
MedApp Dynamics chooses all third-party service providers with due care, obligates them to confidentiality, and concludes data processing agreements with them in accordance with the standards of the GDPR, as far as necessary.

MedApp Dynamics will generally not transfer your personal data outside your jurisdiction or geographical location. However, there are some exceptions to this rule (see below), which include data transfers for group internal services provided from outside the EU, including Australia, USA, India and Singapore as an example.
Please note that some or all of the Personal Data that our services may collect may be stored on cloud servers located outside of the country in which we obtain the Personal Data, including countries whose protection of data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. This is in order to allow for the performing of centralized functions for our group of companies. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, law enforcement officials, and national security authorities in those jurisdictions according to the applicable laws in those jurisdictions.

Where a healthcare provider accesses your personal health information and stores a copy of your Personal Information, that copy will be governed by that healthcare provider’s privacy policy. Others at that facility (for example an on-call doctor) may be able to view your Personal Information. MedApp Dynamics is not responsible for the content, security, performance, or privacy policies of third-party healthcare providers.
Some of these third-party healthcare providers will be covered by federal and state health privacy laws (such as the Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or “HIPAA”), and those laws will govern how they may use and share your information. HIPAA requires that you must authorize these providers to send information to MedApp Dynamics. With that authorization, you also give them permission to send certain especially sensitive types of health information (such as mental health or substance abuse records) that may or may not be protected by federal and state laws and require special authorization. When you ask MedApp Dynamics to share your health information to others, you will also be giving MedApp Dynamics express permission, whether written or not, to share those sensitive types of health information.

We will make reasonable efforts to protect Personal Information stored on the Websites servers from unauthorized access using commercially available computer security products (for example, firewalls), as well as carefully developed security procedures and practices. Notwithstanding our security safeguards, there may be a possibility of data vulnerability from any third party service providers.
F. Retention
Your personal data will be deleted once you withdraw consent, or, more generally, once the purpose for processing of your personal data has ceased to exist. We may or may not retain required personal data depending on local, state and national laws or guidelines to meet the necessary legal requirements. The exact retention period will thus depend on the categories of personal data and the processing purposes:
-
Bookkeeping and accounting: In some cases, we are legally required to retain personal data for a certain period of time, e.g., for invoices, or payment details, for up to 10 years for these purposes.
-
Marketing: for the data which we may process for marketing purposes, the retention period will depend either on your withdrawal of your consent, or if, in case the processing is based on our legitimate interest or the performance of a contract, the achievement of the processing purposes, e.g., two years for the pseudonymized usage data, or one year for a survey results.
-
Protecting our legitimate interests: We may require storing personal data to protect our own legitimate interest, e.g., support ticket data or CRM data for up to 3 years (duration of statutory limitation period).
Once such a period has lapsed, and there is no purpose to be fulfilled by the processing of personal data, we will delete or anonymize the data in accordance with data protection obligations.
G. Statutory/contractual requirement
You may choose not to provide your personal data or provide incomplete personal data to us. However, you should be aware that you may not be able to engage in a contractual relationship with us or receive adequate support or may not be able to use all the functionalities of our website.
