We Take Data Security Seriously<\/h1>\n

Compliance with GDPR isn\u2019t optional \u2013 it\u2019s a legal obligation. For healthcare providers, this means specific responsibilities when handling sensitive personal data. That\u2019s why Curoflow is developed with security, data protection, and privacy as core pillars. We do not use third-country vendors, and all data is processed and stored in Europe in accordance with applicable legislation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The Schrems II Ruling and Data Transfers to the US<\/h3>\n

In the Schrems II ruling (Case C-311\/18), the Court of Justice of the European Union invalidated the former Privacy Shield agreement between the EU and the US in 2020. The decision was based on the fact that US surveillance laws, such as FISA, did not provide EU citizens with protection equivalent to what GDPR requires.<\/p>\n

The court ruled that Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) may still be used for transfers to third countries\u2014but only if the recipient country offers a level of protection essentially equivalent to the EU. This requires individual risk assessments and, often, supplementary safeguards\u2014especially when using US-based cloud services.<\/p>\n

European Organizations Are Choosing European Cloud Services<\/h3>\n

In light of Schrems II and subsequent EDPB guidelines, many Swedish authorities and healthcare providers are moving away from US cloud services in favor of European alternatives. Examples include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    The Swedish Public Employment Service, Tax Agency, Social Insurance Agency, and Transport Administration<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority has decided to switch to European providers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The City of Stockholm has chosen not to migrate to Microsoft 365<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Similar trends are visible across the EU, where regulators are increasing scrutiny of services that don\u2019t fully comply with GDPR\u2019s third-country transfer requirements.<\/p>\n

    You Are Responsible \u2013 as the Data Controller<\/h3>\n

    When choosing a digital communication platform for patients, your organization is the data controller under GDPR. If the platform uses services outside the EU\/EEA, you must ensure that:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      A valid legal transfer mechanism is in place (SCCs, DPF, BCR, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      The recipient country\u2019s legal system has been assessed and documented<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Supplementary technical protections are implemented<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Data processing agreements are signed with all providers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It\u2019s a misconception that explicit consent from each patient is always required for third-country transfers. In healthcare, the legal basis is often public interest or legal obligation. What matters is that the transfer is legal, secure, and documented.<\/p>\n

      Curoflow Stores Personal Data on Servers in the EU<\/h3>\n

      Curoflow is built to simplify data protection. All personal data is processed on dedicated servers in Europe, with no transfers to third countries<\/strong>. We do not use US-based cloud services like Microsoft Azure, Zoom, Twilio, or AWS. Our integrations\u2014for BankID, Swish, SITHS, SMS, and more\u2014come from Swedish or EU-based providers.<\/p>\n

      This means that as a healthcare provider, you don\u2019t need to perform individual risk assessments or implement additional safeguards<\/strong> for third-country transfers. You retain full control and transparency over how and where your data is processed.<\/p>\n

      CE-Marked Under MDR \u2013 Built for Healthcare<\/h3>\n

      Curoflow is not only GDPR-compliant\u2014it is also CE-marked as medical device software under the EU MDR regulation (EU 2017\/745). This ensures that our platform meets regulatory requirements for safety, performance, and risk management in healthcare.<\/p>\n

      We also maintain a quality management system aligned with ISO 13485, tailored for healthcare operations. This provides additional assurance that you are using a platform that meets the highest standards for patient safety and data protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-771","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nData Security & GDPR Compliance in Healthcare | Curoflow<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how Curoflow ensures GDPR compliance, secure data handling, and full patient data protection.
