An independent board of experts checks all enquiries to the FindMe2care platform in advance and ensures that only serious contacts are forwarded to you.
What about data protection?
FindMe2care does not pass on any data – it is a virtual platform on which scientists and organizations that are currently researching diseases and providing help can get in touch with affected patients. As a patient, you decide for yourself who you want to be found by.
Data is stored in strict compliance with data protection regulations:
- Patients retain sovereignty over their data.
- FindMe2care is bound by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Patients give the platform their earmarked consent to use the data exclusively for the above-mentioned contacting, also on the condition that no third party has access to it.
- Due to this limiation of purpose, any other use of the date (e.g. “monetization”) is excluded.
