Privacy Policy
01Introduction
meda AI GmbH (“meda”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you visit our website at mymeda.ai, contact us or request information, or register for and use our platform.
We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations, in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”) and applicable German data protection law (the Federal Data Protection Act, BDSG, and the Digital Services Act, DDG).
We act as a data controller for the personal data we process to operate this website and to communicate with prospective and existing customers. When our platform is used by a healthcare provider, we instead act as a data processor, as explained in Section 3.
If your personal data is processed within the platform by your healthcare provider, this Privacy Policy does not govern how that provider uses your data. Your healthcare provider is the data controller for that processing, and you should refer to their own privacy notice. See Section 3 for details of our role as a data processor.
This Privacy Policy serves to inform you in accordance with Articles 13 and 14 GDPR.

03Our Role: Data Controller and Data Processor
meda as data controller. When you visit our website, submit an enquiry, request information, register for our platform, or otherwise interact with us as a prospective or existing customer, meda determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and acts as the data controller in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
meda as data processor. When our platform is used by a customer organisation (such as a medical practice, clinic, or hospital), that organisation is the data controller for the personal data processed within the platform, including:
- patient data, health records, and clinical information;
- account data for healthcare professionals and practice staff; and
- other personal data entered, uploaded, or generated within the platform by the customer.
Acting as a data processor, we process such data only on the customer’s documented instructions as set out in the applicable Data Processing Agreement (DPA). We do not use it for our own purposes, we apply appropriate technical and organisational security measures, we assist the customer with data subject rights requests, we notify the customer without undue delay of any personal data breach, and we delete or return the data at the end of the service, unless retention is required by law.
If you are a patient whose data is processed within the platform provided to your healthcare provider, that provider — not meda — is the controller responsible for your data. Please direct any questions, requests, or complaints to your healthcare provider, whose privacy notice applies to that processing.

05Legal Bases for Processing
We only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis under the GDPR. Depending on the context, we rely on:
- Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent (e.g. contact forms, newsletter);
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — performance of a contract (e.g. platform access);
- Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR — compliance with a legal obligation;
- Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interests (e.g. website operation, security, product development).
Where health data is processed within the platform, the relevant conditions of Art. 9(2) GDPR apply and are determined by the healthcare provider acting as controller. You may withdraw any consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.

07How We Share Your Personal Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only disclose it where necessary for the purposes described in this policy and as permitted by law, with appropriate contractual safeguards in place. We may share data with:
- Service providers and sub-processors who process data on our documented instructions (see Section 8);
- Professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors, and tax advisers, where required;
- Authorities where required or permitted by law, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
- Successors in connection with a merger, acquisition, or reorganisation, subject to equivalent safeguards.
All third-party providers are bound by contract to protect your data, process it only on our instructions, and implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
08Sub-Processors and Third-Party Services
8.1 EU Cloud Hosting
- Server location: exclusively within the EU (France) — GDPR compliant
- Full audit logging of all access; medical notes encrypted with AES-256
8.2 AI Processing (Medical Documentation)
For transcription and for structuring the documentation we use third-party language models obtained through a routing service.
- No storage at the model providers: we use only endpoints with contractually assured zero data retention.
- Audio: held during processing and deleted immediately once the transcript is created.
8.3 Website Analytics
- Analytics: We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly tool hosted in the EU. It uses no cookies, collects no personal data, and transfers no data outside the EU.
- Booking and contact: When you book a meeting or contact us, we use HubSpot (EU "eu1" data centre) for scheduling and contact management. Where data is transferred to the US, this is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The booking calendar does not load with our pages: HubSpot is contacted only when you click „Book a call“; the calendar then opens in a window on our website.
8.4 Website Operation
On access, technically necessary connection data (IP address, timestamp, page requested, browser identifier) is processed. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Retention: see Section 10. Fonts are served from our own servers; no connection is made to Google Fonts or any other external font service.
8.5 WhatsApp
Our website offers a WhatsApp link. If you use it, WhatsApp Ireland Limited processes your number, message content and usage data under its own terms. Legal basis for our handling: Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. Please do not send patient or health data via WhatsApp. Use support@mymeda.ai instead.
8.6 Payment Processing
For paid contracts we use Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Limited, Ireland). We do not receive card details. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; for retention Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR with § 147 AO and § 257 HGB.
8.7 Job Applications
Application materials are processed solely to conduct the application procedure. Legal basis: § 26(1) BDSG with Art. 88 GDPR, and § 26(3) BDSG for special-category information. Deleted six months after conclusion unless you agree to longer retention.
09International Data Transfers
Where data is transferred to the United States in connection with appointment booking and contact management (HubSpot, see Section 8.3), the transfer relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the Standard Contractual Clauses. This concerns contact details of prospective customers only, never product or health data. For AI processing of the documentation, see Section 8.2. Where any other transfer outside the EEA occurs, we ensure an appropriate safeguard recognised under the GDPR is in place.
