As a processor, we process biometric data in the form of retinal OCT scans. This data will only be transmitted to us in pseudonymous form.

RetInSight strives to adhere to high ethical standards in all areas of the company and to pursue an ethical, value-oriented culture in which problems are addressed quickly and visibly.
RetInSight treats all data in accordance with national and international laws and guidelines, as well as ethical standards and principles.
RetInSight processes image data that is classified as sensitive personal data, as the OCT images can be used to draw conclusions about the person’s health status. The protection of privacy is a central and sensitive issue both from a regulatory point of view and for RetInSight’s customers and cooperation partners. Retinal images are categorized as biometric data, since the unique vascular structure cannot be changed (similar to a fingerprint) and therefore can only be pseudonymized (not anonymized) according to current interpretation. RetInSight is aware that customer adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is critical and develops and operates these algorithms in accordance with EU Code of Ethics for Trusted AI.
Pseudonymization means that we as processor cannot assign the collected data to specific patients, and all personally identifiable information (PII) remains with the direct healthcare provider. In addition, full encryption is already included in the development process.
Strict technical and organizational measures resulting from our data protection impact assessment ensure the highest level of privacy and security. All data is encrypted and processed only within the EU. The data sets are pseudonymized from the beginning and only a limited number of employees can access this data.
We are aware of our special responsibility and apply the strictest standards to enable the highest level of security and data protection.
