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.

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.

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.

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:
