[Consultation] Digital Healthcare Terms of Use and Personal Information Processing Policy

Law firm Veat took on a referral from A, which was preparing to launch a digital healthcare platform, and reviewed its terms of use and personal information processing policy.

Digital healthcare company A received information about users’ activities and sleep times, as well as health-related information from B’s mobile application, and planned to launch a digital healthcare platform related to health management by utilizing this information. Therefore, the company requested Law firm Veat to review the terms of use and personal information processing policy required for this service.

Accordingly, Law firm Veat reviewed A’s terms of use and personal information processing policy based on laws such as “Act on the Regulation of Contracts” and “Personal Information Protection Act” and provided it. Notably, this case was a case requiring detailed legal review and consultation because the information handled by the digital healthcare company A, which is considered sensitive personal information, required separate consent and was based on relevant regulations to process sensitive information.

As the digital healthcare sector has grown explosively, the importance of personal information protection issues has also become significant. Law firm Veat has established a personal information protection team led by partner lawyer Jo Eun-byul, who was awarded as an outstanding lawyer by the Personal Information Protection Committee in 2020, and is providing in-depth legal advice related to personal information.

Thank you.
