LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Privacy Policy
LAST UPDATED: MAY 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
At MediLoop Software, we recognize that privacy and data security are the foundations of trust. This policy outlines how we collect, protect, and manage the data within your software ecosystem and custom-built websites. We act as a Data Processor for the client information you input or capture, while you remain the ultimate Data Controller.
2. DATA WE COLLECT
To provide the MediLoop suite of services, we process the following categories of data:
- Account Identity: Email addresses and secure credentials used to access the MediLoop backend (secured via Supabase Auth).
- Business Identity: Spa/Clinic name, location, billing details, and operational contact numbers.
- Software Client Records: End-user names, contact details, medical intake forms, treatment notes, and digital signatures.
- Website Visitor Data: Information captured via contact forms, lead generation tools, and anonymous analytics on MediLoop-hosted websites.
3. HOW DATA IS USED
Your data is utilized strictly to power and maintain your digital infrastructure:
- To facilitate secure clinical record-keeping and business operations within the software suite.
- To trigger automated communication protocols (such as SMS or WhatsApp win-back campaigns) strictly as directed by your configuration.
- To host, optimize, and secure the custom websites provided under our MediLoop Websites service.
4. DATA SECURITY & STORAGE
We utilize enterprise-grade encryption through our secure database providers. All clinical data and intake forms are stored in encrypted environments with strict Row-Level Security policies. MediLoop engineering and support staff do not access your specific client data unless explicitly requested by you for technical support and troubleshooting.
5. THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS
Our ecosystem relies on trusted third-party infrastructure, including payment gateways for billing and official API providers for messaging automation. These providers comply with international data protection standards and possess their own stringent privacy policies governing the data transmitted through their networks.
6. DATA RETENTION, HPCSA & GOVERNANCE
You maintain absolute control over your operational data. We acknowledge the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) guidelines requiring clinical records to be retained for a minimum of 6 years.
However, MediLoop is an active software service, not an indefinite data archive for inactive accounts. Upon the termination or cancellation of your MediLoop subscription, it is your sole responsibility as the Data Controller to export your clinical records using our provided CSV Export tools to maintain your HPCSA compliance.
Your proprietary data will be retained in a secure, inactive state for a 90-day grace period to prevent accidental loss. Following this 90-day period, all associated records, databases, and files will be permanently and irretrievably deleted from our active servers.
