Data Protection and Privacy

13.1 Privacy Policy

Our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your Personal Data and Health Data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.

This hosting arrangement ensures compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) data-residency requirements and provides a high standard of data protection for Users worldwide.

13.3 International data transfers

Where Personal Data or Health Data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), such transfers are safeguarded by:

  • European Commission adequacy decisions recognising the destination country as providing an adequate level of data protection.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, incorporated into our agreements with all data processors and sub-processors.
  • Supplementary technical and organisational measures, including encryption, pseudonymisation, and access controls, assessed on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the Schrems II framework.
  • Data Processing Agreements with all third-party processors requiring equivalent protections.

13.4 Applicable data-protection laws

AWARE Clinic is committed to compliance with all applicable data-protection laws in the jurisdictions where it operates or serves Users. Without limitation, the following laws are considered in our data-protection framework:

  • The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) as the primary framework governing data processed in our German data centres.

Where there is a conflict between the requirements of multiple applicable data-protection laws, AWARE Clinic will apply the highest standard of protection reasonably achievable.

13.5 Data Processing Agreements

AWARE Clinic maintains executed Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all third-party service providers, sub-processors, and vendors that process Personal Data or Health Data on our behalf. These DPAs require each processor to implement technical and organisational measures at least as protective as those described in our Privacy Policy, to process data only on documented instructions, and to cooperate with data-subject rights requests. A current list of sub-processors is available on request through the contact channels published on the Service.

13.6 Health Data classification

Health Data processed through the Service is classified as sensitive personal data / special-category data under the GDPR (Article 9), requiring explicit consent and heightened protections. AWARE Clinic processes Health Data only on the following lawful bases:
