Terms of use
This policy describes the terms of use for the processing of personal data when you, in your capacity as data subject, use the software applications owned by MIR, which are designed tocheck the heart rhythm by analyzing a single-lead 1-minute long EKG trace.
Legal basis of the processing
An electrocardiogram (EKG) test is a procedure that measures electrical signals from in your heart. Each time your heart beats, an electrical signal travels through the heart. An EKG can show if your heart is beating at a normal rhythm.
Terms of use
The processing of personal data described in this policy will be based on your consent that
you will be asked to provide through the application when you first use it. Consent is
obtained with suitable mechanisms such as ticking a box to confirm your authorisation for
the data to be processed. By expressing your consent you also authorize the sharing of your
data through the available functions (e.g. you, as the data subject,may create and share the
test results in PDF format).
If you do not provide your consent, you will not be able
to use the application.

Data that are not obligatory, for example identification data, may only be shared if you have voluntarily included these in the profile created locally on the app.
Purposes of the processing

This occurs onlyto correctly interpret the results of the tests you have conducted and offer you the functions that are available through MIR's devices. Certain functions you might want to use may require specific data processing. This processing of personal data is necessary to run all the available functions.
The application only runs locally on your smartphone and/or tablet and doesn ot transfer any data to MIR. Therefore, your personal data are only used:
