Data Protection

How we process your personal data

Acute Doctor processes your personal data for the following purposes and based on the following legal bases:

1. We process all data you submit in your registration to be able to register your information and assess your data based on the criteria laid down for your registration for which you have registered. The legal basis for our processing is the consent for processing that you are asked to provide when you send your registration to us.
2. After the selection process has been completed, we will continue to process necessary data about you and others who have applied for our “Dedicated Medical Assistance” (DMA) in order to (i) follow up on your case, (ii) keep a record of those who have been involved in your case and (iii) be able to guarantee a fair, transparent application process for future treatments and prevent misuse, for example in the form of multiple applications for the same treatment from the same person. The legal basis, in this case, rests on a balancing of interests, where it is our opinion that the Acute Doctor’s need to be able to continue processing your data for this purpose is more important than your interest in having the data erased.
3. If you are have been accepted to our DMA program by us, we will inform a brief presentation of your case on our website to your medical provider, along with your name. The legal basis for our processing is your consent for your treatment and your name to be presented on our website to our Medical Providers in order to find a suitable medical provider for your treatment.

For our processing under a), b) and c), you may, at any time, withdraw your consent by contacting us (contact details are below). This means, of course, that we will then be unable to register and assess your application or publish your case or your treatment on our website.

For how long do we save your personal data?

Your personal data is saved for as long as there is a need to save it to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected under this Privacy Policy. Acute Doctor has decided that for the processing indicated under b) above, it is necessary for your name, personal identity number (where appropriate) and application to be saved for 10 years.

To whom do we disclose your personal data?

The registration form on our website or sent by us to you is supplied by the Acute Doctor. Only to processes your personal data on behalf of the Acute Doctor and in order for the Acute Doctor to fulfill the purposes of processing your personal data set out in Clause 2 above.
