Data Deletion Policy

At DoctusTech, we understand the importance of privacy and data protection. We are committed to complying with applicable data protection laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with the DoctusTech Service and for DoctusTech legitimate and essential business purposes, such as:

 

    • maintaining the performance of the DoctusTech Service

    • resolving disputes

 

After your account is deleted, we keep some data for a longer time period but for very limited purposes.

 

Criteria used to determine the retention periods include:

 

    • What is the appropriate retention period to carry out our purpose? Our systems are designed to automatically ‘age out’ data based on a defined retention period. We choose the retention period based on its legitimate business purpose, and based on our Data Retention Policy.
    • Do we need to keep data to ensure the service that users expect? We keep personal data for an appropriate period to deliver a personalized service to returning users or users that accidentally delete their account. 
    • Is DoctusTech subject to a legal or contractual obligation to keep or delete the data? Examples include mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation or data kept for the purposes of litigation. Additionally, DoctusTech will retain individual records of  Continuing Medical Education credits earned to be in compliance with user audits. Conversely, we will remove unlawful content if the law requires us to do so.

 

What data do we delete?

 

We will delete any personal data that you have provided to us in connection with your use of our application, including:

    • Your name and contact information
    • Your performance data
    • Your history taking and preventative testing data

 

How do you request data deletion?

 

If you would like to request the deletion of your personal data, please contact us at info@doctustech.com. We will respond to your request as soon as possible and within the timeframes required by applicable data protection laws.

 

For in-app Premium users, there will be a delete button available in the application, allowing for a seamless process of removing your account.

 

For Enterprise users, your request for deletion will be forwarded to your administrator for approval. Once approved, the stated process in the policy will be followed.

 

What happens after we receive your deletion request?

 

Once we receive your deletion request, we will delete your personal data from our systems as soon as possible and within the timeframes required by applicable data protection laws. We will also take reasonable steps to inform any third-party service providers who may have access to your data to delete your data as well.

 

Exceptions to deletion

 

Please note that we may be required to retain certain data for legal or regulatory reasons, such as to comply with a court order or to establish or defend legal claims. In such cases, we will only retain the minimum amount of data necessary to meet our legal or regulatory obligations.

 

We hope that you find this data deletion policy helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
    7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
    8. Comply with a legal obligation.
    9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

 

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

 

We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

 

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete

 

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

    • Emailing us at privacy@doctustech.com
    • Visiting https://www.doctustech.com/contact-us/

 

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.

 

You may also make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child by contacting us and proving your relationship to your child.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

 

    • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
      • Photo identification verification.
      • Verification through other means such as an identity verification software.
    • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

 

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

 

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. [However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.]

 

We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

 

For instructions on exercising your sale opt-out or opt-in rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact us.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

 

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

 

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

 

    • Deny you goods or services.
    • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
    • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
    • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

 

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

 

Data Deletion Policy

At DoctusTech, we understand the importance of privacy and data protection. We are committed to complying with applicable data protection laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). As part of our commitment to protecting your privacy, we have implemented a data deletion policy that allows you to request the deletion of your personal data from our systems.

 

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with the DoctusTech Service and for DoctusTech legitimate and essential business purposes, such as:

 

    • maintaining the performance of the DoctusTech Service
    • making data-driven business decisions about new features and offerings
    • complying with our legal obligations
    • resolving disputes

 

After your account is deleted, we keep some data for a longer time period but for very limited purposes.

 

Criteria used to determine the retention periods include:

 

    • What is the appropriate retention period to carry out our purpose? Our systems are designed to automatically ‘age out’ data based on a defined retention period. We choose the retention period based on its legitimate business purpose.
    • Do we need to keep data to ensure the service that users expect? We keep personal data for an appropriate period to deliver a personalized service to returning users or users that accidentally delete their account. 
    • Is DoctusTech subject to a legal or contractual obligation to keep or delete the data? Examples include mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation or data kept for the purposes of litigation. Additionally, DoctusTech will retain individual records of  Continuing Medical Education credits earned to be in compliance with user audits. Conversely, we will remove unlawful content if the law requires us to do so.

 

What data do we delete?

 

We will delete any personal data that you have provided to us in connection with your use of our application, including:

 

    • Your name and contact information
    • Your performance data
    • Your history taking and preventative testing data

 

How do you request data deletion?

 

If you would like to request the deletion of your personal data, please contact us at info@doctustech.com. We will respond to your request as soon as possible and within the timeframes required by applicable data protection laws.

 

For in-app Premium users, there will be a delete button available in the application, allowing for a seamless process of removing your account.

 

For Enterprise users, your request for deletion will be forwarded to your administrator for approval. Once approved, the stated process in the policy will be followed.

 

What happens after we receive your deletion request?

 

Once we receive your deletion request, we will delete your personal data from our systems as soon as possible and within the timeframes required by applicable data protection laws. We will also take reasonable steps to inform any third-party service providers who may have access to your data to delete your data as well.

 

Exceptions to deletion

 

Please note that we may be required to retain certain data for legal or regulatory reasons, such as to comply with a court order or to establish or defend legal claims. In such cases, we will only retain the minimum amount of data necessary to meet our legal or regulatory obligations.

 

We hope that you find this data deletion policy helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
