This policy applies to all processing of personal data in connection with the use of the MedicalDocu platform, the medicaldocu.com website and associated services.
Linked third-party offerings are governed by their own privacy statements.

3. Purposes of Processing

We process personal data to provide the following services:
• Operation of the platform, in particular the creation of medical letters, reports and other medical documents.
• Speech-to-text transcription of audio recordings to support your documentation workflow.
• Account and practice administration, authentication, billing and support.

• Patient-related content: health data contained in documents that you, as a medical professional, enter while observing your professional duty of confidentiality.
• Billing data: address, company details and payment information as required for contract performance.

5. Legal Bases

We process data based on contract performance (Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a revFADP and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), our legitimate interests in secure and efficient operation (Art. 31 para. 1 revFADP and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where required, your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 7 revFADP and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Processing of particularly sensitive personal data (in particular health data) takes place to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of your professional documentation obligations.
Responsibility for obtaining any patient consents remains with the medical professional using the platform.

6. Hosting in Switzerland

The content data you provide, including patient-related documents and audio recordings, is stored on servers located in Switzerland (Zurich region).
Database, authentication and file storage are provided by Supabase Inc., with the storage location restricted to Switzerland.
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.

7. Sub-Processors

We use carefully selected sub-processors who are contractually bound to data protection and confidentiality:
• Supabase Inc. (USA/Switzerland): database, authentication and storage infrastructure; content data is hosted in the Zurich region.
• Vercel Inc. (USA/EU): hosting of the application frontends and edge functions in EU regions.
• Google Cloud (EU): Vertex AI for text generation and Cloud Speech-to-Text for transcription of audio recordings, operated in European data centres.

8. International Transfers

Where data is disclosed to countries outside Switzerland or the EEA, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses together with the Swiss supplements recognised by the FDPIC, as well as further appropriate safeguards.
Detailed information on the specific safeguards can be requested from us.

9. Retention

Account and master data are retained for the duration of the contractual relationship and beyond for as long as required by law (e.g. commercial and tax retention obligations).
Content data (documents, transcripts, audio recordings) is retained according to the settings you choose within the application and deleted upon request.
Log data is generally deleted or anonymised within 90 days.

10. Rights of Data Subjects

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and – within the scope of the GDPR – data portability and objection.
You may withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.
To exercise your rights, an informal message to info@medicaldocu.com is sufficient.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or the EU supervisory authority responsible for you.

11. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss and misuse.
These include encryption in transit and at rest, multi-factor authentication for administrative access, row-level security at the database layer and a strict least-privilege principle.
Access is logged and reviewed regularly.

12. Cookies and Tracking

We use only strictly necessary cookies, in particular for managing the login session and securing the platform.
We do not use analytics or advertising cookies.
For aggregate, privacy-friendly usage statistics on our public website we use Vercel Web Analytics, a cookieless service that stores no information on your device and does not collect personal data.
