Automated technologies

When you interact with our website or apps, we may automatically collect Technical Data using cookies and similar technologies. Please see our cookies policy at aide.health/cookie-policy for further details.

Third parties

We may receive personal data from third parties, including your doctor or GP surgery (for Health Data) and analytics providers.

We use personal data to:

  • Provide and operate the Services
  • Support self-management and understanding of health conditions
  • Generate summaries or records for your personal use
  • Put you forward as a candidate for clinical trials or studies where you have given explicit consent

  • Provide customer support
  • Meet legal and regulatory obligations

We do not sell personal data.

6. Legal basis for processing (UK)

  • Consent: for processing health data and certain optional features
  • Legal obligation: where required by law
  • Legitimate interests: for service improvement and security, balanced against your rights
  • Scientific research: for clinical trials and studies where you have consented

You may withdraw consent at any time.

7. United States privacy and health law

7.1 General US privacy framework

For users in the United States, we comply with applicable federal privacy and consumer protection laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices.

7.2 Health Breach Notification Rule

If unsecured personal health information of US users is compromised, we will provide notifications as required under the FTC's Health Breach Notification Rule, including notice to affected individuals and, where required, to the Federal Trade Commission.

7.3 HIPAA

Some users access Aide or Mirror through healthcare providers or other organisations.

Where Aide acts as a service provider or business associate to a HIPAA-covered entity, and processes protected health information on their behalf, we will comply with applicable HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules under a separate Business Associate Agreement.

Where you use the Services directly as a consumer, HIPAA may not apply. This policy explains how we protect your data in those circumstances.

7.4 State privacy laws

California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act). These include the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, the right to delete your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at dpo@aide.health.

Washington (My Health My Data Act)

If you are a Washington resident, the Washington My Health My Data Act provides additional protections for consumer health data. We will obtain your consent before collecting or sharing consumer health data, except where an exemption applies. You have the right to access, delete, and withdraw consent to the processing of your consumer health data.

Other states

Residents of other US states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others) may have similar rights. Please contact us to exercise any applicable rights.

8. Your rights

8.1 UK rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data (a "subject access request")
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Request erasure of your personal data
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • Request data portability (transfer of your data to you or a third party)
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent

8.2 US rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to:

  • Access personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data

  • Withdraw consent to processing
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights

8.3 How to exercise your rights

You can exercise these rights by contacting us at dpo@aide.health. We may need to verify your identity before we can respond. You will not usually be charged a fee, but we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.

9. De-identified and aggregated data

We may use de-identified or aggregated data that no longer reasonably identifies you. This data may be used for research initiatives, analytics, service improvement, and reporting.

We may include such anonymised data in reports on the effectiveness of our services, which we may provide to pharmaceutical companies, research organisations, and healthcare providers.

10. Sharing of data

We may share personal data with:

  • Service providers who support hosting, analytics, security, and customer support
  • Healthcare organisations where you have chosen to connect the Services
  • Healthcare entities, including pharmaceutical companies, NHS and private hospitals, universities, research organisations, and health charities, solely in respect of clinical trials or studies to which you have given explicit consent
  • Professional advisers, including solicitors, auditors, and insurers
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators, and other authorities, where required by law
  • Third parties in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganisation of our business

We do not share health data with third parties for advertising purposes.

All service providers are required to protect personal data and use it only for the agreed-upon purposes.

11. International data transfers

Your data may be processed outside the UK or the United States. Where we transfer your personal data outside the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:

  • Transfer to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection under UK data protection law
  • Use of specific contracts approved for use in the UK (such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or standard contractual clauses)

12. Data security

We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data, including encryption, access controls, and secure infrastructure. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and third parties who have a business need to know. They are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator where we are legally required to do so.

No system is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

13. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the Services and meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. You may request deletion of your account at any time.

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

14. Children's privacy

The Services are not intended for children under 13 in the United States or under 16 in the United Kingdom.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in these age groups. If we become aware that we have done so, we will delete the data promptly.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by other appropriate means.

16. Contact us

If you have questions or concerns about this policy or how we handle your data, please contact:

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with:

  • The UK Information Commissioner's Office (www.ico.org.uk)
  • For US users, the Federal Trade Commission or your state attorney general
