We do not sell your personal data.
We may share your data with:
-
Symbian Health Co. and its medical staff :
When you request a second opinion, your medical data are shared with
Symbian’s physicians and clinical staff, who review your case and
prepare the opinion.

MMS Bulgaria may access your data to coordinate your case, help with

data protection purposes.
-
Specialist reviewers and partner institutions (“sub-reviewers”) :
Radiologists, pathologists, oncologists, dermatologists, fertility

other countries, to review your imaging, pathology and medical

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).
