GDPR: European Union

Health and biometric data are special-category data. The clinician must identify an Article 6 basis and an Article 9 condition for the actual care workflow. Maestra’s processor role does not replace that controller decision.

Maestra encrypts sensitive stored patient, clinical, financial, transcript, biometric speaker, assistant, and retrieval values on-device. Readable account and structural metadata remains available for service coordination. Necessary plaintext passes transiently through the relay and contracted processors for transcription, AI, import, retrieval, and PDF tasks.

The counsel-reviewed ROPA records executed DPAs and SCC safeguards for applicable transfers, a processing record, a designated DPO, and incident-response documentation. Modal tasks include a transient US transfer. This means processing is not fully EU-resident even though the documented Eden path is in the EU.

Version 3 export supports access and portability workflows but excludes finance data and reusable templates. Account deletion removes Maestra-held records and wrapped key material. It does not erase exports, user backups, or other-device copies.

Clinicians must provide the required privacy information, assess processors and transfers, support data-subject rights, complete a DPIA when required, define retention, and validate whether the service fits member-state professional rules.
