When you request a second opinion, your medical data are shared with Symbian’s physicians and

your case and prepare the opinion.

6. International
Transfers of Personal Data
Our servers are hosted in the European Union, and much of your data is stored there. However:
- Symbian Health Co. is based in the
United States;
-
Some medical specialists and sub-reviewers are located in the USA or other non-EU/EEA countries.
This means your personal data, including health data, may be accessed from countries that may not
provide
the same level of data protection as the EU/EEA or Switzerland.
When we transfer personal data internationally, we aim to use one or more of the following:
-
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other contractual safeguards approved under GDPR;
-
Limited access for authorised persons who need the data to provide the service;
-
Secure technical measures such as encryption and access controls.
For EU/EEA patients, we also ask for your explicit consent for certain transfers of health data outside
the EU/EEA (particularly to the USA and other countries without an adequacy decision) as part of the
Patient
Agreement and Informed Consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time, but this may limit our
ability to provide the
service.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy,
including:
-
To provide the second-opinion service and any follow-up you request;
- To comply with
legal, regulatory and accounting obligations;
-
To establish, exercise or defend legal claims within applicable limitation periods.
After this, we either delete your data securely or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to
you
personally.
If you would like more detailed information about retention periods for specific categories of data, you
can contact us (see Section 10).
