PrivacyStatement
Who are we?
We are My Live Medical Limited (company number 591001). Our address is First Floor, Paradigm House, Dundrum Office Park, Main Street, Dundrum, Dublin 14, Republic of Ireland.
We provide a medical reports management platform that makes it easier for organisations that require medical reports to manage this process and for medical professionals to access and process medical reports.
This policy and any other documents referred to in it sets out the basis on how MyLiveMedical will process any information we collect from you or you provide to us, as a person being medically assessed, client organisation or medical services provider. Please read the following information carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
We provide a service to GPs which enables them to accept or decline medical report requests, schedule appointments with injured parties, complete medical assessments via video or in-person, record data on our platform, save and download completed reports and send completed reports to the commissioning company. Our contract is with the GP, as opposed to the commissioning company, whose contract is with the GP.
For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the GP is the data controller and My Live Medical is the data processor.
Our nominated representatives for the purpose of GDPR: Adrian O’Farrell – privacy@mylivemedical.com.
What information do we collect about you?
We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
We use your information for the speedy arrangement and processing of medical reports so that the organisation commissioning the report on your behalf can deal with it as fast as possible.
We do not require you to provide us with personal information directly. If you are being sent for a medical through the MyLiveMedical system, the medical professional will ask for your consent to collect data and for what purpose and to be shared with whom. When you give your consent to this, the medical professional will collect the relevant personal and health data. They will then send this data to MyLiveMedical for onward transmission to our client organisation. When they send this data through the MyLiveMedical system, the data is encrypted so that MyLiveMedical staff do not have sight of this data or the ability to process it.
Therefore, the only personal information about you that MyLiveMedical maintains are the personal details that you have shared with our client organisation. They disclose to us the relevant personal and health details that you have shared with them in order that we can facilitate the arranging of your medical appointment for the purpose you have agreed with our client organisation.
Where data is submitted, it will be used for the stated purposes only.
This starts with making sure that you get meaningful choices about how and why data is collected and used and ensuring that you have the information you need to make the choices that are right for you. You will be asked to consent to your data being collected for the purposes stated.
If you do not agree with or you are not comfortable with any aspect of the Privacy Statement, you can discontinue use of our website.
As a client, you may provide us with the personal details of the person to be sent for a medical appointment as outlined above. You may also provide us with your company bank details in order to facilitate payments.
As a medical professional, you will provide us your address and contact details plus details of your qualifications and specialisations (in order that we can fairly represent the type and quality of the work you do and accurately match you to medical report requests). You will also transmit the completed medical reports to us. These will be encrypted and stored on our platform for a period commensurate with our client’s wishes and our legal obligations, bearing in mind the requirement not to keep the data any longer than we need to. You may also provide us with your company bank details in order to facilitate payments.
Website Data:
With regard to each of your visits to our website we may automatically collect the following information:
- Technical information, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform.

Data Security:
The security of your personal data is very important to us. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
We take all reasonable and appropriate measures to guard against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful loss, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your Personal Information, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information. We use the highest industry-standard security measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of any personal data we own or process on behalf of our customers and visitors, including, in appropriate circumstances, the use of firewalls, restricted access and encrypted transmissions. We limit access to personal data to those persons in our organisation who have a business need to process such personal information.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
We use a managed service datacentre that is compliant with HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. This dictates standards that ensures that any company that deals with protected health information (PHI) puts in place and follows the required physical, network, and process security measures.
