3. Sharing the Patient's Information

Any OEM who working with us is also liable to uphold this patient privacy value and we expect no sale of personal information of patients to happen using white-labeled devices.
4. Data Security
We take data security seriously and implement stringent measures to protect the patient's personal and medical information:
-
Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols.
-
Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to personal information of the patients, and they are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
-
Secure Authentication: We use secure authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication (2FA), to protect patient accounts.
Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect patient information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain the patient's personal and medical information only for as long as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. Once their account is deactivated, we delete the patient's data unless retention is required to meet legal obligations.
6. The Patient's Data Rights
The patient has the following rights concerning their personal and medical information:
-
Access: Request access to the personal information we hold about them.
-
Correction: Request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete information.
-
Deletion: Request the deletion of their personal information, subject to legal or regulatory obligations.
-
Data Portability: Request a copy of their data in a structured, machine-readable format.
-
Objection: Object to certain processing activities, such as receiving marketing emails.
In the event of a conflict between patient and a provider regarding usage of their data, preference will be given to the patient without any exceptions.
To exercise these rights, the patient can contact us at amrita@spotsense.in.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use minimal tracking technologies to enhance user experience:
-
Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website to function correctly.
-
Performance Cookies: Help us analyze usage to improve performance.
We do not use marketing cookies or engage in targeted advertising.
8. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.
9. Privacy of minors
Patient name for children below the legal age of consent is not collected and they are referred as C/o . <Parent’s name>. If age is detected less than 18 years in a test report, the patient name is automatically excluded from the system and replaced with a numerical identification. Hence labs and hospitals are requested to cooperate with the same.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be communicated via email or in-app notifications. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.
