Who We Are

AfriMed™ Telehealth provides digital healthcare services for patients and healthcare professionals, including teleconsultation workflows, appointment scheduling, secure messaging, profile onboarding, and verification-enabled healthcare operations.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data collected through AfriMed™ web and app experiences, including staging and production app domains.

Information We Collect

We collect account data (name, email, phone, role), profile and onboarding data (for example, demographics and medical context you provide), service activity data (appointments, messages, settings), and technical data (device/browser metadata, logs, and security signals).

Where you upload healthcare or verification documents, we process those files and related metadata for account verification, compliance workflows, and service delivery.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal data to create and secure accounts, authenticate users, deliver telehealth features, support appointments and communications, improve reliability, detect abuse, and comply with healthcare and legal obligations.

We may use operational analytics to improve service quality and user experience while applying minimization and access control practices.

How We Protect Your Information

AfriMed™ applies layered technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls, encryption in transit, role-based authorization, monitoring, and audit-oriented workflows.

No online system is fully risk-free; we continuously improve controls to reduce security and privacy risk.

How We Share Information

We share data only when needed for service delivery, legal compliance, user-directed workflows, or trusted subprocessors operating under confidentiality and data protection obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as needed to deliver services, meet legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain audit records.

Retention periods may vary by data type and jurisdictional requirements.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use essential cookies and similar technologies for security, session continuity, and product functionality.

Where applicable, optional categories are managed through the cookie preferences controls available in the app experience.

Your Data Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or port certain personal data.

You may also request account and privacy support through our contact channels listed below.

Children's Privacy

AfriMed™ is not intended for unsupervised use by children where prohibited by law.

If you believe data was provided inappropriately, contact us and we will review and act in line with legal obligations.

International Data Use

AfriMed™ may process data across regions as needed for secure service operation.

Where cross-border transfer is required, we apply appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the platform, regulations, or security requirements evolve.

Material updates will be reflected by revising the effective date and publishing the updated version on this page.
