[Consultation] Drafting a Privacy Policy and Consultation on Personal Information Collection for Bio/Healthcare Web Services

Bio/healthcare venture company A is developing a portable blood component measurement device and preparing to launch this service. A plans to provide a service where people suffering from chronic diseases can check their blood condition themselves, test results are recorded, and automatically sent to family members. In this process, A sought Veat regarding the methods for collecting and utilizing user customer information and drafting a personal information processing policy.

Veat confirmed that due to the nature of the service provided by A, the personal information collected by A includes physical information and blood test values, and informed A that such information is treated differently from general personal information as sensitive information. Furthermore, Veat explained the requirements that must be met to collect sensitive information and provided advice to ensure that A’s service can legally collect and utilize physical information and blood test values.

Thank you.
