Medical Software Consulting ("MSC", "we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our website (medicalsoftwareconsulting.com) and related services, including MSC Regulatory Watch (watch.medicalsoftwareconsulting.com).
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have regarding your personal information under applicable data protection laws.
Medical Software Consulting is the data controller responsible for your personal information.
We collect personal information lawfully and fairly, only to the extent necessary for our business activities. The categories of information we may collect include:
We use personal information only for the following purposes. For users in the EEA and the UK, the corresponding legal basis under the GDPR / UK GDPR is indicated:
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not use personal information for any purposes other than those listed above.
We share personal information only in the following circumstances:
We engage the following processors to support our services. All processors are bound by appropriate data protection agreements and are subject to our oversight.
We may engage additional processors from time to time as necessary for our business operations, always under appropriate supervision.
Our services are operated from Japan, and personal information is stored and processed primarily in Japan.
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom: Japan has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection (Adequacy Decision, January 2019). Transfers of personal information to Japan therefore do not require additional safeguards under the EU / UK GDPR.
Where personal information is transferred to processors outside the EEA, UK, or Japan (such as Google LLC in the United States), we rely on appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions where applicable.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected:
After these periods, personal information is securely deleted or anonymized. Where longer retention is required by law, we retain the information for the applicable statutory period.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS / TLS), access controls, regular security updates, and secure credential management. Where we engage processors to handle personal information on our behalf, we exercise appropriate oversight.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your location, you have the following rights regarding your personal information. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@medical-sc.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
