7.2.4 Data processing for other purposes
Medical Device Directives and Regulations
The Application is classified as a medical device, and therefore, we are subject to increased requirements for monitoring the user safety and functionality of our product. Your personal data will be processed in compliance with Danish data protection legislation.

In Hedia, we wish to contribute to scientific research in diabetes. We would like to invite our users to contribute with their personal data to scientific research projects.

In exceptional cases, longer storage may be required in order to fulfil post-contractual obligations or to comply with statutory storage obligations or disclosure duties or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (limitation periods).
Once personal information is no longer necessary, the data is anonymised. This means that the information cannot be connected to an identifiable data subject.

We (as a data controller) use third-party suppliers (data processors) to provide products, services, and support, and in some cases, we might need to disclose user data.

These suppliers provide us with services globally, including hosting services, customer support, information technology, marketing, research, and surveys.
