GDPR safeguards and responsibilities

When a clinician determines why and how patient data is processed, the clinician is the controller and Maestra acts as processor for that clinical data. Maestra separately controls its account and service-operation data.

  • Sensitive patient, clinical, financial, transcript, biometric speaker, assistant, and retrieval values are encrypted on-device before storage and sync.
  • The database retains readable account and structural metadata needed for authentication, relationships, scheduling, consent attestation, processing status, and subscriptions.
  • TLS protects data in transit. Necessary plaintext passes transiently through the relay and contracted processors for transcription, AI, import, retrieval, and PDF tasks.
  • Version 3 export provides user metadata and patient records. Each patient PDF uses transient relay rendering.
  • Account deletion removes Maestra-held records and wrapped key material, making server-side ciphertext unavailable to Maestra. User backups and other-device copies remain outside that boundary.
  • The counsel-reviewed ROPA records executed DPAs and SCC safeguards for applicable transfers, a processing record, incident response, and the designated DPO.

The clinician must establish the applicable Article 6 and Article 9 basis, give required privacy information, complete a DPIA when required, configure and use the service appropriately, respond to data-subject requests, and assess the disclosed processors and transfer safeguards.

Modal transcription and retrieval processing includes a documented transient US transfer under the recorded DPA and SCC arrangement. Do not treat the service as fully region-contained.
