GPS Health Online implements the following technical, physical and organizational measures to maintain the safety of your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized use, unauthorized modification, disclosure or access and against all other unlawful forms of processing.
GPS Health Online utilises the extensive features of the cloud environment to ensure high availability, like full redundancy, load balancing, automatic capacity scaling, continuous data backup and geo-replication along with a traffic manager for automatic geographical failover on datacenter level disasters. All failover mechanisms are fully automated.
No personal data is stored permanently outside GPS Health Online’s cloud platforms. The physical security is thereby maintained by GPS Health Online’s subcontractors, see clause 7. Microsoft’s datacenters comply with industry standards such as ISO 27001 for physical security and availability, e.g. by using security staff around the clock, two-factor access control using biometric and card readers, barriers, fencing, security cameras and other measures.
To ensure integrity, all data transits are encrypted to align with best practices for protecting confidentiality and data integrity. E.g. all supplied credit card information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those who are authorized to access such systems and who are required to keep the information confidential.
For data in transit, the Service uses industry-standard transport protocols between devices and Microsoft datacenters and within datacenters themselves.
All personnel are subject to full confidentiality and any subcontractors and subprocessors are required to sign a confidentiality agreement if not full confidentiality is part of the main agreement between the parties.
Whenever personal data is accessed by authorised personnel, the access is only possible over an encrypted connection. When accessing the data in a database, the IP number of the person accessing the data must also be pre-authorized to obtain access.
Any device being used to access personal data is login protected by GPS Health Online’s Azure Active Directory (AAD), Microsoft’s cloud based identity and access management service, and has GPS Health Online’s corporate antivirus solution installed. If any personal data are temporarily stored on a device, the storage unit on the device must also be strongly encrypted.
On premise devices storing personal data temporarily is at all times, except when not being actively used or relocated under uninterrupted supervision, locked in a safe. Personal data are never stored on mobile media like USB sticks and DVD’s.
GPS Health Online will at all times keep you informed about changes to the processes to protect data privacy and security, including practices and policies. You may at any time request information on where and how data is stored, secured and used. GPS Health Online will also provide the summaries of any independent audits of the Service.
All access to personal data is blocked by default, using a zero privileges policy. Access to personal data is restricted to individually authorized personnel. GPS Health Online’s Security and Privacy Officer issues authorizations and maintains a log of granted authorizations. Authorized personnel are granted a minimum access on a need-to-have basis through our AAD.
Personal data from our data subjects is retained in line with our data retention policy. GPS Health Online keeps most data for 7 years, which covers the 6 years by law in which we have to keep certain information for a minimum of 6 years plus the current year. Personal data that is no longer necessary to be kept under GPS Health Online’s data retention policy will be deleted. Under GPS Health Online’s data retention policy, there are certain exemptions in relation to financial data and health data. A copy of GPS Health Online’s data retention policy can be made available upon request.
