[Healthcare] Legal review of Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for mobile web services.

Law firm Veat received a request from A Company regarding mobile web service A’s healthcare mobile web service, and conducted legal review of the terms of use and personal information protection policy related to the mobile web service.

​Law firm Veat confirmed that A Company’s service was partnered with other healthcare companies to provide patient health checkup management services, and carefully reviewed whether all collected personal information was properly stated, whether it was appropriately regulated regarding personal information collection consent for information that is considered sensitive due to the nature of healthcare services.

The terms of use should accurately reflect the company’s services, and it is important to carefully examine whether necessary parts are included, and whether there are any parts that violate the “Act on the Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Protection of Personal Information.”

Recently, there has been increased interest in the collection and processing of personal information, which is intertwined with the company’s trust. If you are preparing healthcare services, it is recommended that you receive assistance from a healthcare attorney with extensive experience in legal advice regarding sensitive personal information, because it allows you to proceed efficiently and meticulously.

When managing personal information, you must comply with the contents stipulated in the “Personal Information Protection Act,” such as the specific statement of the collection, use purposes, and items of personal information.

When operating healthcare services, due to the management of sensitive medical information, management regarding the utilization and protection of personal information must be thorough, and you should examine whether there are any potentially problematic parts in the terms of use and personal information protection policy which contain the contents regarding the management of personal information, and whether there are any violations of the law, and if it feels difficult or professional assistance is needed, please contact Veat, a healthcare-specialized law firm with healthcare attorneys.
